NIXON'S NATIONAL CHAMPS is quite the documentary. It digs deep into the chaos surrounding the 1969 college football national championship. The pacing feels like a slow build, allowing you to absorb the tension and contradictions of the era. The archival footage, especially with Nixon and Paterno, is fascinating. You really get a sense of the stakes involved and how political agendas intertwined with sports back then. It's not just about football; it’s a reflection on power, ambition, and the unexpected rivalries that shape history. I found the tone to be both somber and oddly humorous at times, showcasing how absurd things can get when politics enters the game. It’s a gem for anyone interested in sports history or the intersection of politics and culture.
