DAG 33,852 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Mods move this thread need be... I just wanted to give your football goons a heads up that season 3 is out now! Pointed out by the trailer, Sadly we won't be seeing EMMC and Coach bud this year. Instead, it will be hosted in Independence, Kansas (Yikes) and follow the Independence Community College Pirates, who have had a horrid football history. One particular interest is their new HC, Jason Brown, a white male straight out of Compton (Yes, race should be noted in this instance). I have it begun watching it, but for my day off I plan on binging because you know? Football. Anywho, just wanted to give notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,841 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thanks for the heads up. I, for one, am glad to hear they filmed it somewhere else, especially since the academic advisor at EMCC left. She was easily my favorite person on the show.

DAG 33,852 Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Also, people kind of shrug about the whole relatable thing in terms of SES and demographics, but it can make a huge difference. It showed the first few minutes of the first episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True…..and we need some places like this for some guys who have potential but have not been raised (or achieved) discipline necessary to play at a major school....to see if they can make the change....not just to be able to play football, but also to be able to go through life with some personal success. I don't see this as Auburn's mission but there are places like Indy, EMJC and others that can effectively play that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn ultimately responsibility should be to educate these young men so they can be productive adults. PERIOD. Like that one recruit said, you have numerous tutors at your disposal with resources.. so there should be no excuse to leave without a degree, even if you don't make it professionally.

Best I can tell AU spends a lot of time and money to do this but as was noted a long time ago...." you can lead a horse to water....etc...etc. From what I read about many of our recruits when we sign them.....and what I read about them some years later.....the ability to play sports at AU has helped a lot of young men and women achieve a lifestyle they probably never dreamed of when they were 15 or 16 years old.

AUBwins 10,001 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Part 4 is actually a followup episode from the EMCC crew, with Wagner, Ollie, Stephens etc. I watched that one first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always the same thing with the FBS wash outs. NO DISCIPLINE! They want to go straight to the NFL and have $200000 cars, big mansions, more women than you can shake a stick at, but the reality is, Odell Beckam, Dak Prescott, Jamis Winston, Adrian Peterson, they are all the same. They are all professionals. They play football. Everything else is secondary. Cars, clubs, houses, jewelry, women, you can have that when you are done playing. These young guys lose sight of it. here was a recent interview with Johnny Manziel where he admitted he was more focused on making money and living the life than being a football player. Now he is focused on playing football.................. in Canada. That is the price he pays for not taking the NFL seriously. It's the same with Duke Williams, or all these last chance U stars. Whats more important football or screwing around. For too many very talented individuals its the later. Even in my profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,526 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I already miss Buddy Stephens. He was the star of the whole series to me. He was really entertaining and hilarious. But this is former FSU QB Malik Henrys school?! O count me in. I def will watch this all the way through. WOOOOOO!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he demeans his players and coaches is not good. Buddy Stephens knew when to be hard on someone, but also knew when to shut it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
