Anyone watching? I just finished it and I really enjoy these inside access docs when it comes to football. What I find interesting specifically about Last Chance U is that some of the players "get it" and some don't. Most of the players there were at big U and had disciplinary problems and ended up in Scooba, MS. You can tell that some of the players realize that they have to straighten up to get back to a big school. Others however still don't get it and continue to have problems with authority and doing the things necessary to be successful. I root for some of these guys and then I guess how long before jail with others.

Haven't had time to watch yet this time ... probably will soon. Yeah, it's easy to get engrossed in these behind the scenes documentaries. You're so right ... some "get it" ... some not! I know the 3 guys that came over and gave us 2 great years "Got it"!!

Saw current Trojan Damion Willis on there a few times catching passes. He gives us a deep threat that we've been lacking. He and Saleem are going to really stretch the field in a big way. The D-Line coach from Last Chance U played for Blakeney and has a Southland Conference Championship ring from his time at Troy. I really like that dude and wouldn't mind having him on staff. I saw that we offered Dakota Allen, though he ended up going back to Texas Tech.

Lest we forget Alvin Bryant? Track star from FL? But, I digress. Davern Williams' segment before the Carver/J.D. game made me want to hit somebody! Please, those that don't like profanity may not like this documentary, but don't let it detract you from the premise...

I think Alvin will likely be used more in the return game this year rather than at receiver, unless someone has inside information, he's not currently on the two/three-deep. Of course that could change and I would welcome his speed to the rotation anytime.

It's not necessarily a discussion for this thread, but I don't think Jabir Frye was on the 2-deep going into the fall either, but he made the best of his opportunities. I believe the same for Bryant. Also, a lot of talk about the two incoming freshmen corners that have speed and cover skills. Coach went for the length, now he's bringing in the speed. Now back to Last Chance U...

Last Chance U is an interesting show. You are right about some get it and some do not it was the same with season one. The head coach seems like a turd, but is trying to redeem himself. I played baseball at a Mississippi Juco before coming to TROY and these guys remind me of those same type guys in the 80's, some get it and some are one step away from flunking out and being deadbeats. I root for all of those guys and hope they work hard and achieve success.

I really liked the demeanor of Dakota Allen from the show. I understand that some people might feel differently because of his specific reasons for leaving Texas Tech though... He said during the show that TROY offered him, and I would've loved for him to come and play ball for CNB.

I agree, he made a big mistake and was exiled for it. He actually seems like a squared away guy, would have been a great Trojan.

I'm thankful that "Last Chance U" is moving to another school this season. I'm done with Buddy

Didn't he apply for the HC position at Troy a couple of years ago?

I'm thankful that "Last Chance U" is moving to another school this season. I'm done with Buddy I kind of like watching the train wreck. It makes me ponder which is more valuable the talent or the coaching.
