I caught parts of an ESPN documentary looking at The U and the college football team that I only knew from The Rock's time with them in the early 90s and his unsuccessful journey to the NFL.
The programme showed how it rose up after a downturn and developed a real belligerent image on and off the field and it highlighted the close links between college and pro football.
I'm interested on people's thoughts on The U and their impact and secondly, are the links between college success and the road to the NFL still there?
