    Great story. I still have that issue in a box somewhere.

    The whole story came about because Deford found a copy of the Clarion-Ledger on an airplane and there was a Rick Cleveland column about Sullivan. Someone from a previous flight had left it on the plane.

    One of the series recaps online I read referred to the guy as a "game administrator" when that incident came up. Don't remember what website it was.

    Thanks to this thread, I started watching Last Chance U last night. Fascinating stuff.

    Now I need to stop reading this thread so I won't come across any spoilers.

    As I recall from the show, he was getting offers from smaller schools but didn't consider them. He was content to just be a student at MSU and leave his football career behind if he didn't get a walk-on offer from the Bulldogs.

    Yeah, but they were talking about D-II offers and I think he was originally committed to Jacksonville State out of high school. He said he wanted to play D-I or hang it up and I was just surprised he wasn't getting any offers from Sun Belt teams or any of the FCS schools.

    So sad. It's a great series. But there's a bunch of classic films on Netflix - Billy Wilder, Hitchcock, et al - but I'll be watching this before I ever get around to those.

    • What can they get from another season? Seemed like they got a great story that revealed all the important aspects of the program.

    I tend to agree with this. Also, the players and coaches will have seen the previous season and will almost certainly be playing to the cameras.
