I think I’d like to see one on Cal’s first year here, and how Wall, Cousins et al revived UK’s cool factor.
What UK 30 for 30 Would You Like to See Made?
- Thread starter Random UK Fan
- Start date
I would like to see the story where Brad earned his spot on the team and to show everyone that it was not given to him because he was the coach's son. I think maybe somebody could pull this off.
Duke scandals and how they were ignored or covered up.
Why Wildcats1st hates Wheeler so much. Would be very interesting.
I would like an in depth look into that Randle Twins team. Amazing run they went on.
King Rex - High School Star ---> Living God in Kentucky ---> NBA Playmaker ---> Ipad Thief ---> Annoying guy on the twitter
The Unforgettables would be a great 30 For 30 if they haven't done it yet
Tonight of 30 for 30: Random UK fanI think I’d like to see one on Cal’s first year here, and how Wall, Cousins et al revived UK’s cool factor.
The 2014 season would have been one if they had finished off UCONN or certainly 2015 if they won it all...probably could still be one on 2015 just because of that crazy ride.
2007-2012
From Tubby leaving for Minnesota, to the hiring and implosion under Billy Gillispie, then hiring Calipari and the 2010 & 2011 teams leading up to the 2012 title

Are you saying there’s one on tonight?
Coach Hall following the Great Baron of the Bluegrass and Goose is Loose..
Cal's banging that kids mom. You can't convince me there wasn't some favoritism as a result.
Noone mentioned the infamous Emory package? Yeah, I will see myself out!
Pure fiction right there. Lol
This gets my vote as well. An incredible team that returned Kentucky to greatness from the depths of probation and played an iconic game against Duke. Additionally, a "where are they now" segment would be compelling TV, with the stories of Richie Farmer and Fifteeno using the prestige of that team to rise in prominence only to later fall from grace. Would be a great 30 for 30.
Story on Oscar’s 30 point, 30 rebound game. Coming to a theater near you soon.
It wasn’t that amazing. We had the most physically talented team in the country, everyone’s pre-season No. 1 …that greatly underachieved in a disappointing regular season ….but then finally started to play the way they were supposed to at tourney time. Pretty simple story.
I think an examination of the 2015 team’s quest for a perfect 40-0 season would be a far more compelling story. A team coming so close to doing what many thought was no longer possible.

That sounds crazy, but honestly, it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
The media hates Kentucky so I’m sure it would be about point shaving 70 years ago, integration or the 80s scandal.
I mean we can make anything sound way more simple then it actually was. That team had an amazing turnaround. They started as a group of guys that were very highly rated coming out of high school but took some to connect as a group. We got to see them take a down a bunch of great basketball teams in what is the best tournament in sports. Including the undefeated Wichita state team multiple game winners by our freshman twin guard leading to a title game. If you don’t think that’s an exciting story idk what to tell you.
1 - the near 3-peat that should’ve beenI think I’d like to see one on Cal’s first year here, and how Wall, Cousins et al revived UK’s cool factor.
2 - hiring Cal, landing the Wall/Cousins class
3 - Gillispie / firing / “the final days”
4 - modern take on the BS probation/ Emory
5 - BJ Boston’s documentary footage

The story of Kenny “Sky” Walker, his time and career at UK, and his status still as a fan favorite.
2012 & 2015 teams. From start to finish. Practice footage, and behind the scenes interviews, ect.
Fair enough, yeah it was mighty exciting, and would be fun to rehash for UK fans.
But I’m not sure how much more there’d be to unpack. Nobody was shocked that team made a run, as it had more raw talent than anyone else. The bigger mystery with that team is why was such a talented group so disappointing in the regular season?
As for what changed, it seems fairly straightforward: they finally woke up and started playing the way everyone expected them to from the beginning.

They were definitely talented but not to what their ratings were in high school. Except for Randle and WCS.
It's too bad we didn't get it done in 2015.. if we did I think a 30for30 on those first 6 seasons under Cal would be so amazing... the hire, the resurgence, the final 4, the title, the low of the NIT, the slow start, the run in March, and ending it all with the perfect season..
It would have a perfect amount of hardship that many great sports documentaries have, culminating in a rise to literal perfection.
Ugh...

There is only one clear answer here.
Hookers in the dorms, sex on the restaurant table, 15 seconds down the leg, and abortion/extortion.
They'd need to flash the TV/MA rating up front for sure.
