Will be interesting to see this develop over time to the final product. I am but one of many who have and will be contributing to this project. Was there, was involved and do miss the National rankings and the fantastic style of basketball the Coach Shipley & Coach Cox brought to our then small University. ;)
We will. It'll be about a year. We'll screen in theaters and festivals first, but I'll let everyone know ahead of time.
I can't wait!! I wasn't around for that era but it is one of the most intriguing stories that I have read about. There are many people that have no idea about the happenings during that time with the NCAA, university, state, and basketball program...O..
Donny- I hope you guys can truly capture WHAT it was like being in Blackham for the games. I have heard the stories from numerous people my entire life, but just can't fully grasp it.Quote:

We have to get this to ESPN to air as a 30 for 30.
I cannot wait for this. It sounds great.
Any thought of shopping it to ESPN in case they want to do another 30 for 30 series?Quote:

I doubt ESPN would buy something like this that is going to take shots at the NCAA. I can't wait until it's done though.
I hope this films shocks the nation! It will be better than all of ESPN's 30-30 series.:D
The nation to the east will call us liars, but they can go to hell.
I have a similar thread title Documentary on Shipley era being developed
on RagePage of Ragin Pagin.
Donny check out my reply on facebook.
This is awesome. I cannot wait to see the final product. Please keep us informed on the website.Quote:

This could be something big. Who is producing, where will it be shown, and when will it premiere?
No, I don't think they fear the NCAA; they have grown so big the NCAA needs them now!Quote:

I don't think ESPN would shy away from this content, but we don't want to make any early decisions on what to do with the film until after the festival run. I appreciate all the support and hope to make all you awesome Ragin' Cajun fans proud.
