    aside from the official state smurf of Tennessee (Kenny Chesney) and the ending about Cam "I did not solicit that recruiter, Miss Lewinsky" Newton... that was a fantastic show about the evolution and story of black athletes in the SEC.

    Also, it has to kill Bama fans in these parts that he was from Huntsville, Alabama. Nice part in there about the Bear as well. Condredge gave some great interviews because they were all substantive context.. not just hype. He wasn't bitter about the Bear telling him that they couldn't recruit him. He was glad that the man was honest with him. Said he'd love to have him, but Alabama was not ready for a black quarterback... It's funny because so much history gets pulled out of context and put into modern setting.. which just bastardizes the entire thing..

    Anyway, I'll shut up. If you haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend it.

    Saw it a while ago... Condredge is a Tennessee legend.
