Weird thread

They are making some dumb documentary about ku and the rules of basketball

steve dave · « **Reply #4 on:** October 13, 2012, 09:39:05 AM »

Yeah, we had that thread about a year ago

If beems doesn't post after this airs, nothing will bring him back.

Beems is done, forever. He realized he lost the battle and is roaming psychiatric wards.

Premiering now.

I bet the real rules of basketball will go for double that.

I don't know if this is more embarrassing for the KU fan that might be a bigger douche than beems, KU or ESPN.

the actual auction was interesting. everything else...not so much for anyone but KU fans.

Dugout DickStone · « **Reply #16 on:** October 16, 2012, 09:25:14 PM »

Pretty much made the point they aren't authentic

hemmy · « **Reply #17 on:** October 16, 2012, 09:29:23 PM »

didn't watch, but consensus on twitter seems to be that it was awful.

kstate16 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 17, 2012, 01:21:15 AM »

my roommates a ku fan so i was stuck watching it.

when he said "duke is nauseating....they think they are god's gift to basketball", I almost threw up. He literally drove all over the country trying to validate that ku was indeed god's gift to basketball.

So this is three guys from Slate (no one from Meth U or Silo Tech, they review all the 30 for 30s on their podcasts) discussing "There's No Place Like Home." The discussion occurs 47:30-56:30. They completely eviscerate the documentary, the subject of the documentary and ESPN & Bill Simmons for showing it. They ripped it apart so badly I actually want to see it now.

I'd troll the eff out of the Phog with this but I'm banned because I asked Ta Town Backer if his dad knew he was message boarding on company time.

i think it has broader appeal than i thought it would have. story's pretty interesting.

Exactly, **** all the other fans. I seen a "The Greatest Tradition in College Basketball" t-shirt the other day. UK. I couldn't believe it, they have no clue

Quote

GOD BLESS JOSH. Your place in heaven is now assured regardless of past sins you may have commited!!! This is the same feeling after watching the Indiana Jones.

Quote

I have never disdained duke like so many others do. I generally feel the media is more to blame for their hype machine than anything. I was certain while watching this that the talk about duke alums bidding was just Josh trying to get people on board. When he showed that duke.grad was the competing bidder I was sick. I am firmly a dook hater from forever now.

Quote

Booth was steel in that auction. Kept putting the pressure on the Dukie by saying why was it taking for so long for him to bid? He was nails.

Quote

I just looked up the Duke grad, David Rubenstein. Net worth $2.8 billion which is respectable. Unfortunately he was going up against Mr. Booth who had him almost doubled at $5 billion. Rubenstein didn't stand a chance.

Quote

I'm not sure that it has really sunk in with the general alumni just how big of a gift that the Booth family has given us (with efforts from Mr Swade, Dr. Allen, and Coach Self). Championships are wonderful... but with time, memories fade. This is a piece of history that will last forever.
I can't really think of a single act that could have had a bigger impact than this.

I read that thread last night. what a bunch of weirdos.

TheTastyGreek · « **Reply #23 on:** October 17, 2012, 09:27:20 PM »

As an unbiased 3rd party, I can confirm that this 30 for 30 was rough ridin' terrible.

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #24 on:** October 17, 2012, 09:28:52 PM »

Welp. Case Closed. Thanks TTG.
