What a great film

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2006)

I took a couple of friends of mine to see the film yesterday. Two of them go to The University of Texas at Austin, and one will be going to Texas Tech. Now neither of them care much for UTEP but do know of the story of the 1966 team.
All four of us really enjoyed the movie and believe it'll be in the top ten in the box office. Now for those of you who don't like the atypical sports movie, well this one seemed to be a hybrid between Friday Night Lights and Remember the Titans in the form of the story line. It gave a really good insight in how black players were treated back then and how Coach Haskins risked not only his job but the safety of his family for what he loved to teach.
Wait after the movie and you will see a little interview with the Coach and his players along with Pat Riley. As you see the original film of the '66 championship game, the movie got it down on bulls eye.
Really enjoyable, hope everyone goes out and sees it!
