- NormE1
NormIn the spring he threw a no hitter for the University's baseball team. In the winter he led the basketball team in scoring. That summer he married the homecoming queen. In 1956, on the University of Missouri campus, Norm Stewart was the man. Unlike most big men on campus, whose exploits drift into folklore Norm's best days at The University of Missouri were ahead of him. In 1967 the Shelbyville, Missouri native would become the Mizzou men's basketball head coach. As much as his program leading 634 wins endeared him to the fans, his fiery style and loyalty to the state that raised him have made "Norm" a Missouri legend. - Mighty RuthieE2
Mighty RuthieIf her story were only about basketball, Ruthie Bolton would be a legend. The 16th of 20 children born to Leola and Reverend Linwood Bolton in Lucedale, Mississippi, Bolton far exceeded expectations when she led Auburn to three SEC titles and two NCAA championship games, then went on to win two Olympic gold medals. But as this SEC Storied documentary directed by Lisa Lax and Nancy Stern reveals, it was Ruthie Bolton's courage during and after her playing career ended that ultimately defines her. After surviving years of domestic abuse in her first marriage, she has opened up about her experiences and become a powerful advocate for women around the world who live in fear of their spouses. Yes, she was a great basketball player. But it's as a woman willing to share her pain that Mighty Ruthie has truly lived up to her nickname. "Mighty Ruthie" features interviews from Bolton's friends and family as well as Ruthie herself as she talks about the highs and lows of her life and career thus far, and how she is helping women today. - The Walk OffE3
The Walk OffThe film looks at former LSU baseball player Warren Morris' championship-winning home run in the 1996 College World Series. Twenty years ago he became the only man ever to hit a walk off home run to end the College World Series-and it was his only home run of the season. Warren Morris, just recovering from a broken bone in his right hand, could barely swing a bat. Still, legendary LSU coach Skip Bertman inserted him into the lineup in the title game of the college world series against the University of Miami. It was an era in which home runs flew out of college ball parks at a record pace. But on this day, a terrific wind blowing in from left field had not allowed a single ball to leave the yard. With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, LSU down by one and a man on base, one of the smallest players on either roster stepped up, his team in need of a big hit. Morris delivered arguably the biggest moment in college baseball history. The film is directed by Kenan K. Holley, a two-time Emmy winner and director of ESPN Films documentaries "Dominique Belongs to Us," "40 Minutes of Hell" and "Redemption Song." - Repeat After UsE4
Repeat After UsThe likes of Florida's back-to-back National Championship wins in 2006 and 2007 may never be seen again. A starting line-up of college basketball players spurned multi-million dollar opportunities in the NBA for the chance to win it again. Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Corey Brewer, Taurean Green, and Lee Humphrey, led by head coach Billy Donovan, learned togetherness, loyalty, and how to deliver a championship when a championship is expected. - Before They Were CowboysE5
Before They Were CowboysThe remarkable story of two extraordinary men linked by alphabet, alliteration, and fate. Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson teamed up to help lead the 1964 Arkansas Razorbacks football squad to its only undefeated season in history, long before they joined forces to win two Super Bowls with the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. Back then, they were vital senior members of the 1964 undefeated team that won a national championship, and in time, they came to be two of the biggest men in the NFL.
