Penn State has confirmed they've been talking with HBO. At this point, I've not seen anything from Washington State or Alabama.I haven't seen anything from the University or any of the beat reporters saying this is true. Does anyone else have any official confirmation?
I had really rather not see HBO get their grubby little paws on the UA program JMO
Dont understand the hate Im seeing from some of yall about HBO though
To be fair I don't hate HBO programming I think they do a great job but I also know their documentaries are seldom superficial. If you look long enough and hard enough you can find some turmoil, controversy etc. Just don't want to see that in relation to UA.
As much as Saban is known for controlling the narrative, where does the fear come in that he wouldn't do it here as well?If you look long enough and hard enough you can find some turmoil, controversy etc. Just don't want to see that in relation to UA
That's reality TV in general, though. At least for Hard Knocks, though, it doesn't seem like anything is artificially controversial. Usually its over a player holding out on a contract or someone getting in trouble or even coaches arguing, but usually they try to pick out a handful of young guys (along with a cpl stars) and tell their story. To me, watching a walk-on as he tries to earn a scholarship is a super awesome story that would be great to see them tell, especially when you consider guys like Levi Wallace coming from nothing and how amazing his story is/was.

Kind of like Netflix's Last Chance U? It felt like they were also going for that Hard Knocks effect.
