OT -- College Football

For my fellow college football aficionados: ESPN's 30 For 30 series will, tomorrow night, feature "Pony Excess". The documentary features a review of the SMU football program in the 1980's and the transgressions which led, ultimately, to the NCAA giving the football program the 'death penalty'. Includes interviews with the two original "Pony Express" stars -- Eric Dickerson and Craig James (yes, that Craig James).

It is amazing to me that many modern programs have not suffered the same fate -- notably, USC of the mid 2000's and, likely, Auburn this year.

Should be an interesting watch though.
