This try's to make you think being a gangster makes you a good football player. No they were great athletes. And has nothing to do where you come from.

Easily the best doc in the first ten of 30 for 30. A great precursor to the pay for play discussion growing in college sports, and a fun examination of the impact college football has on popular and University culture.

The Hurricanes were pretty awesome, but I didn't need 110 minutes to figure that out. All in all, two lessons: the NCAA is a racist, corrupt organization, and running through smoke is cool as hell.

The team everyone loves to hate, this does more of a job of glorifying their questionable behavior than diving into the cause and effects of the Miami recruiting, coaching and booster mentalities.

Swagger: The Documentary. My favorite of the 30 For 30 sports documentary series. Captures all of the bombast of a team of predominantly young black men in the 80s who knew they were one of the best in college football. Not every documentary must be incisive and probing, a simple chronicle of a fun team is enough. Best paired with Cocaine Cowboys.

Gleeful retrospective of Miami's 'U' days. Somewhat light on facts.
