Part 2 on the legendary University of Miami football team the Hurricanes starts off with Coach Butch Davis getting the team back into mighty fighting shape so Coach Larry Coker could lead them to a National Championship victory in 2001. However, a bad call from a referee prevents the Hurricanes from winning a second National Championship the following year. Worse yet, the U starts to fall apart in 2003, with the all-time worst and most damaging incident occurring when various team players are revealed to be buddies with sleazebag booster Nevin Shapiro, who beget a huge nasty scandal with his massive multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme. Director Billy Corben captures the bittersweet highs and lows of the U during this turbulent period with bracing acuity. Moreover, the players relate a wealth of fun stories about their glory days. Sure, the U may be tainted with scandal and had more than its fair share of bad boy players, but there's no denying that the Hurricanes were a simply incredible college football team in their prime. It's all about the U, baby!
