I am so glad this is being made ... I only hope Coach Shipley will be able to see it when completed!

[Donny_Broussard]

We are doing our best to get it done and he's a big part of it, so he'll see everything we do before anyone else.

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.

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.

I am really looking forward to this.

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?

Our story is more interesting than SMUs.

I like that idea. I would hope that it would put pressure on some people that hold it against him and change their minds about keeping him out of the LHOF. He deserves to be there.
