Anyone rent this movie? Great true story about the state championship game against west Texas, & East Texas (Dallas) and (Odessa) 1988. Tim Macgraw plays an abusive alcoholic father. Other than The Replacements, I'm rankin this one the top 10 football movies!

Settles the off season withdrawls LOL

Yes, I rented it, and I thought it was a good flick. But, on the advice of a friend, I bought the book. I'm only a quarter of the way through it, and I can tell you it's already 10 times better. If you're interested in a good read, get this book.

I lived it. I was in Midland in 1988...went to the Midland-Permian game.

Alot is changed in the movie from real life (school names, who they played in the playoffs, the fact that the final game was not really the state championship)

Good movie. To much like a documentary, with the interviews and such. IMO

Pretty good just I still think Remember the Titans blows it away.

I liked it, but I did not think it was a great movie. The best part was the game in the Astrodome. They were on the Houston Oilers turf, seeing that was the best part of the movie.

Been 3 times and it's all gone, but I hope it's not. To me RemTheTitans it was the Titanic of football. WAAAAAY overrated.
