I agree. I watched the entire series over the last weekend. I caught that brief mention of Ohio as well. There are also a couple of Marshall players that make appearances throughout the series. A good series to watch in only one or two evenings.

Saw the Ohio letter too. Also, JF3 says something like, "why does Ohio keep sending me stuff?" on that same episode when the players are opening mail.

He also followed up the "why does Ohio keep sending me stuff?" line with "I ain't gonna go to your school" as he looked into the camera and then he tossed the Ohio letter in the trash and his teammate called Ohio something like "Tree killers" (in reference to them sending unwanted mail to JF3). I got a kick out of it.

Finishing up this morning, I really enjoyed this show. Raw, uncensored look into junior college football. Couple points:

- You really shake your head a lot watching this wanting the kids to succeed and they can't get out of their own way. Sad to see kids quit and walk away the second they see an inkling of a problem.

- How does anyone watching this within the institution support that head coach? Treats his players poorly, runs the program with little integrity, and has a short fuse that gets himself and his team in trouble. I really hated him throwing the players under the bus after the brawl when he fostered that environment the entire season.

- The academic adviser is the glue holding that ship together. Seriously. She doesn't earn anywhere near enough money for the ends she goes to making sure those kids are doing what their supposed to be doing and staying eligible. Essentially a baby sitter for a lot of those kids.

I don't think I'm going to watch this because I think it would just piss me off and sour me even more on college athletics.

Watch it for me, will you.

I just finished the first episode and I'm looking forward to continuing the series. This is the insider stuff I wish "Relentless" could have been. My wife is not a huge sports follower but she is early in her teaching admin masters program. I'm interested in showing the series to her and hearing her perspective.

As one of the players said after the fight, 'You knew what you were getting when you recruited us.' What I meant is the caliber of student-athlete that he recruits. I love Frank's focus on the academic focus. Yes, I know the JUCO student is often there because he wasn't previously focused on academics, but I just find it refreshing that our athletes are also students.

Hopefully the coaches at Auburn teach him how to tuck the ball properly once you decide to run and not hold it out like a loaf a bread into the open field. If he does indeed start at QB their first game he will have his work cut out for him against Clemson!
