Did they kick you off the team back in the day or what? JV scrub?

A guy I played softball with in the summer dislocated his finger. Bone popped out... he looked like that. Shock. Then he got irritated.

Same actor but buddy garrity was based off that booster

Hello

I didn't ask you if you think we're small. I asked you if you think we can get the job done.

Hell ya

Everyone on this vid talking about how inaccurate it is to real life. It bothers me more that the Marshall uniforms aren’t red & white more than how they show Boobie’s injury.

It’s not that uncommon at the high school level to see those kind of numbers. But this of course is a bit fictionalized

@@jwiese100 my comment wasn’t arguing if it was common or uncommon fam lol

He did in real life. He had more I believe, like 7

Who?

@@conn_man_249 the actor that played Chris Comer. Sadly, he took his life. ☹️

@@zwem6 he did WHAT?!! 😢

@@PCCphoenix yea he committed suicide in 2013

Rip waster bug

Exactly! And yes, for anyone else reading this, that's actually very important for context in why Miles was *actually* so special! Let's be clear, Miles wasn't some "football superhero" who could "do everything, including play QB and kicker." No, he was simply a *full back* (yes, he was a full back, not a half back) who, in addition to being very big, a great blocker, and a great power runner who could pick up a first down or touchdown in a short yardage situation, was *also* very *very* fast, *and* had the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and, with his speed, pick up *huge* chunks of yardage (and yes, those skills would eventually become common amongst full backs, but back in 1988, that was virtually *unheard of* from someone in Miles' position)! To put it simply, *that* was the major advantage Miles provided for his team, because while his team could simply key in on the opposing team's halfback on rushes, other teams *could not do the same* to the Panthers, as the Panthers had *two* dangerous rushers in their backfield! In addition, with Miles' ability to turn from blocker-to-receiver, if a passing play was broken, the QB could almost *always* dump it off to him, because opposing teams *were not used* to having to watch the *full back* as a passing threat! Again, a huge advantage that *Odessa Permian* had and basically *no other team* did! So yes, thank you for bringing that up! Not only because it it's interesting to hear about Odell Beckham Jr's dad, but also simply because it gives the perfect context to explain the *true* story behind Miles' and why he was so great!

It’s kind of crazy how different the spirit of the book is from the movie. The movie makes it seem like a boilerplate football story, it’s kind of funny

Thanks for adding this. I love reading about the real life differences of this story as opposed to the film. I've even heard some complain about how the movie shouldn't have told the story so different...but considering when it was made, football had changed. Fullbacks had almost disappeared from the game when this was filmed. The game shifted from run based to pass happy with one featured yet very versatile running back. I'm sure they did this to draw a younger audience!! A movie showing double TE, power eye offensive formations would've gone right over a young viewers head!!

@@emmettredding1 ... the book was published in 1990, and the movie came out in 2004.

@@mazdakmina9493 your description of Boobie sounds a lot like how I would imagine Marcus Allen before becoming a TB at USC

His uncle want the best for him…

RIP to Mr. LV.😥❤

You do understand this is a movie... Based on a true story. Booby got injured in a scrimmage. Not a game.

@@RobertHDaGod Yeah sure I understand it’s a movie doesn’t take away from the fact that scene was emotionally triggering. 🙄🙄

@@louisamartinez2007 yes ma'am

U think so?

@@Biguhaul I think so too

Easily.

How they figured him out?

@@bilpaparigormoetis5020 he ran the same cut and the defender got to him before he could make his move and he got hurt. But the game was already won so boobie did not need to go back in he could have given his helmet to Chris Comer whose helmet he hid on purpose. Life lesson don't be cocky be humble

@@daroldjohnson3839 Yeah only boobie didn’t went in but he was worry about his football career got him injured he could been smart in gave his helmet too him. I believe boobie did hid his helmet so he can go in…

Yeah, none of this actually happened in real life! It'd take me too long to explain it all, so I'll try to sum it up. -Miles was actually a FB, not an HB, and that's a key difference in how the story is told. -Miles was indeed revolutionary as a FB at that time, as almost no other FB that size had his speed and the ability to catch out of the backfield (making the Permian offense *very* difficult to stop for defenses who were used to keying in on the HB on runs and never guarding the FB on passes), but he wasn't some sort of "football superhero" who could play every position, and he definitely wasn't "killing teams for 5 TDs" as this movie makes him out to be, and rather the kind of player who "when he's on the field, *everyone's* stats go *way* up!" -Miles didn't get injured late in the first game of the season with the game already decided. No, he got injured in a pre-season scrimmage, very early in the game, and on a routine block (as he was a full back). So yes, basically, the movie takes *a lot* of liberties with the truth, to the point where it's almost dishonest for the movie itself to claim it's "based on a true story." This movie is pretty much a glorified fan fiction of the actual story (and I like the true story far better. It shows how the team was built and all fit together, how losing one key piece was critical, and how the team overcame that adversity and made up for what they lost after losing that key piece. The movie does not do that at all. Basically, the movie says, "entire team is one guy, one guy gets injured, team is now a bottom feeder, then team starts playing well again for- eh, no need to really explain why; they just do. Ok, you're inspired. We're done here")!

@@mazdakmina9493 Really he got injured in a preseason scrimmage game…

But the 17-18 year old seniors have been thinking about it for 17 years!

That’s the night he stole the police car

Wade Baker they directors wanted to seem like that Odessa and Midland were small towns with one high school so they changed midland high to Marshall and eliminated Odessa high in the film

@@mazdakmina9493 you’re everywhere in comments for this movie lol

Not really. Especially on September 2. I didn't turn 18 till midway through my senior year.

Most seniors I graduated with were 18 in July and August

Soloman G Football season is in the fall though dipshit. We aren’t talking about June-July.

@@flyinpug3791 not in Texas. Most turn 18 between August and March of senior year. This game would’ve been in August.

Some even 19
