this film was huge with my friends upon its release but its themes were a little silly for me. really just a brainless football film for people who look for cheap tricks.

This one is an older movie but it gives a pretty startling view of college football, both the good and bad. The acting's pretty good and the characters are for the most part worth rooting for....

I'll never forget this movie. 2 reasons. 1) The guys who spit into each others mouths to prepare for a game.
2) They lie down in traffic to feel a rush....? WOW. Well, its not a bad football movie. Well yeah, it is. But its memorable. -

Andrew Bryniarski as Steve Lattimer was insane... "Starting defense! Place at the table!"

The best portrayal of college football out there. We show this at my camp every year to show kids what the experience is really like. Shows both the good and the bad of big time football programs.

Great Cast and an entertaining story....its a shame that in every version they have cut out the part where the players lay down on the highway lines between cars. "Kane is able!"

ONE OF THE BEST SCENES IN THE MOVIE IS CUT OUT. JOE KANE HAD 4-5 OF THE GUYS LAY IN THE MIDDLE OF STREET WHILE TRAFFIC WAS COMING. DOWN THE STREET. GREAT SCENE! IT WAS DELETED FROM THE MOVIE BECAUSE SOME KIDS WENT AND DID THE SAME THING AND DIED. IT'S UNFORTUNATE BUT GOOD MOVIE.

Good look into the life and times of a big time college football program and the things the team and coaches have to deal with on and off the field.
