30 for 30 documentary reviewed: "Ghosts of Ole Miss."  

Sam Anderson, Ren Clayton, and Nic Rudolph break down a doc about Ole Miss football's turbulent 1962 season. A time when the school was refusing to integrate black people. Riots ensued. The football team, though, went undefeated and won the Sugar Bowl. The guys discuss the dissonance that Mississippians experience when facing their past. The gang also categorizes this film as one of the most educational they've reviewed, giving it a top-five overall rating. A game of Mount Rushmore with 'things we hate but wish we loved' is played. And the guys talk Olympics!
