Brings back memories

Rating: 9/10 (25 October 2006)

With a few exceptions, this movie captured the events of the 1988 football season pretty closely. I watched this with some old friends from high school and afterward we sat and talked about those days, looking over the old yearbooks. You see, we went to Permian High and we were there that year. We knew the guys, we were at all the games and most of the parties. Even with the few things that were not dead on, this movie brought back so many memories.
And just so anyone who wasn't there knows, the Panther mascot that year was not a pretty blonde girl. He was a guy. He was pretty cool too, nice to most everyone. In fact, for the three years I was at Permian, the mascot was a guy.
