Yeh, they are not part of the big dance so to speak. Community and Junior Colleges. In this instance, gives players that have left, or did not make it to a College team for various reasons, a chance to do so.

American Tertiary education is INSANE, these community colleges out here with full football teams, full stadiums, 6 sets of fresh kits, ice baths, gym, etc etc.
That-s like a TAFE having a VFL team, crazy.

Yeh, is crazy.
Once you have finished watching, this is a good interview with the woman who basically sorts these kids out. She is mint.

Last Chance U is pretty good, interesting to see blokes like Franklin who went there but are now at a big school. Only 2 eps in and trying not to smash it all out at once.
Can't believe how the season ended for EMCC in Last Chance U, what an unfair result.
Finished LCU

Ordinary wasn't it.
Probably cost some kids a chance at top flyte ball.
Dissapointed Wyatt didn't get a run.
I'm still pissed off about it, and it's been three or four days now.

How much of a hypocrite was the head coach.
Without a doubt, but have you ever know coaches not to be really. Do as I say not as I do haha

Watched the first 4 episodes so far. Really enjoying it. Would be great if someone like DJ Law or Ollie make it to the NFL now that we've seen their other side.
Seems a little polished to be a straight up doco. Cameras in the perfect spots etc. Sometimes feels like the camera is on the field during play ala Any Given Sunday as apposed to straight up doco.

Finally got around to watching Last Chance U.
- I can't believe that the coach still has a job after the things he did during the show - shoved a referee and got a 2 game suspension, nearly getting into a physical altercation with police after the last game, calling his entire team a bunch of thugs and rednecks and basically losing the lockerroom etc
- Those classes must be extremely easy if kids who don't pay any attention in class and have to make up tests etc can get As
- Brittany Wagner, the academic advisor, is pretty much the major redeeming quality of that football program
- John Franklin III must be getting a hell of a reality check now that he's the 3rd string QB at Auburn after leaving FSU because he was 3rd string there and not being able to beat out that Wyatt dude at a JUCO

Even though I rate REMEMBER THE TITANS as my all-time fav football movie, this one, GREATER, which was released last year, is right up there… TOP 5 for mine… surpasses The Express and Brian's song.. Based on true story.Blows Rudy outta the back door.
Fantastic film and I fully agree but way to sad.

Currently watching QB1 : Beyond The Lights on Netflix. Directed by Peter Berg, the guy who created Friday Night Lights series.
Really enjoying it, follows the senior season of 3 high school QB's. Only one i had heard of was Jake Fromm. Real insight into how serious high school football is. Coaches are crazy serious. Recommend it to any US football fan.
