I'm really looking forward to this.

Season 2 trailer:



Season 1 was a pretty damned good show. This is the football program at East Mississippi Community College, which is apparently a catch-all for SEC rejects looking to come back to the big time. I pretty much devoured Season 1 in a few sittings - it felt like a real documentary and not a staged/scripted crapfest like so many documentaries tend to be. You build up a lot of empathy for these kids, and for the staff at the school that are doing their damndest to help them, but like the old line goes, 'some folks you just can't reach.'

Season 1 was pretty emotional and engaging. I hope 2 is just as good.
