For most of the movie you hate that kid's father. But near the end you start to see his demeanor towards his son change and by the end, when his son is balling his eyes out after losing the title game, he takes off his own championship ring and puts in on his son's finger. "You're a champion in my eyes son." Redeemable qualities always make for an enjoyable character.

I lived in a town that was built around two high school football teams. Despite having a Division I college in town, people would talk about football everywhere you went. My old teammates that didnt leave, would always sit and talk about our high school days. I mean when you are in high school, it is pretty cool to get meals comped or recognized at the mall, you dont know any better. However, I was 29 when I finally left, at that point I had played in a state championship team, played JuCo, played Division I and one year in the NFL Europe; and just about everytime I went out, people would talk to me about high school football and many would ask what I did after high school. It was crazy and pretty backwards to an extent. Im so glad I left, I shouldve done it sooner, but I guess it is better late than never.

I never understood why they never covered the “oil money” booster aspect in depth.

I guess I pay too close attention to detail when it comes to films. At around 20 seconds when it fades from Coach Gaines watching film to the list of starters on the board, it shows Miles as starting fullback and Comer as his backup...but the film goes out of its way to emphasize Boobie as the all purpose tailback and Chris Comer being 3rd string!! Or in his words during the forthcoming interview, "I'm Boobie's backup backup"!!

In the wing t offense, and most veer offenses, the fullback is the primary ball carrier as opposed to old school traditional I formation. In their offense, everyone , including the QB was a blocker for anyone carrying the ball.
