just saw it yesterday grad. makes you kind of re-evaluate all the "we suck" posts.

i think anybody who calls in to a coaches call in show should go see it. not that it would do any good. they wouldnt get it.

i did think it was funny when he got home that one time they had those things in the lawn

I have not seen the movie but the book is great. I haven't talked my wife into seeing it, yet.

No doubt...we had kids fired up, yelling at the screen. We're on lockdown until pregame meal @4 but damn they were ready to play an hour ago.

Its a must-see for any fan who did not play the game...excellent job of demonstrating the pressure placed on teenage kids and coaches

Do you rate this movie higher than 'Remeber the Titans'?

Good luck to you and your boys tonight, Grad.

Do you rate this movie higher than 'Remeber the *** ans'?

Hmmm...for realistic football and minus the Disney sugarcoating, yes I would.

Thanks Rugby...I've been passing out chips all afternoon so they should be geared up

I wish we'd had'em back in the day. It's hard to get geeked up to play when all you've got is pot and beer. Well, we had crack my senior year. That may explain our improvement from 2-10 to 8-2.

This movie is on NBC right now, just started @ 8:30 for anyone who wants to watch.

Great football movie.

I saw Explosions in the Sky-the band that did the score for FNL open for the Smashing Pumpkins last year.
The halftime speech Coach Gaines made at the state semi was beautiful. The only thing I disliked about the movie was that it totally changed a lot of the scores, game results, and on field action of a bunch of the games-the game against Carter was a defensive struggle, not a shoot out like in the movie.
