I like how Chavez steps in when Billingsley and his dad are fighting, a true friend.
He was the most mature kid on the team. Class valedictorian and had clear plans to get into Harvard with his grades (Ivy League doesn't give athletic scholarships). Graduated from Harvard and got his law degree from Texas Tech. Billingsley also went on to get a bachelor's degree.
I wonder if that incident on the practice field actually happened, or if it was just Hollywood embellishment bullshit.
Not one player questioned the coach not one every player didn't play except Mike was the one guy that u wanted to see succeed after boobies injury he addressed the team he compliments Mike now he hadn't done anything in that game but he knew the offense had to change but um look Mike and the players could handle the criticism but every player can't some don't have that hard upbringing and follow the game plan with persueing self gratification through someone else's efforts and desire and sacrafice to be successful most players no protect the coach that's life and the way it is
@@mattstewart8962 Most lawyers are pretty high on the psychopathy spectrum. In fact, Brian Chavez got disbarred in Odessa for home invasion and assault. And yes, it was on a Friday night after a football game. Point being, he's a tool. PS: And we all know why he got into Harvard.
YES! That took balls when you're that age. Chavez is going to be a great daddy.
There are still kids like that out there
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.
THAT was a poignant moment.
When I was a kid, I always thought Boobie's Uncle was being cocky by the way he was talking & showing him off. Now as an Uncle myself, it's absolutely wholesome how he hypes him up without hesitation.
“wHoLeSoMe”
Explosions in the sky simultaneously carried this movie and got carried to prominence by it. Classic mutually beneficial pairing
Absolutely. I’m usually not a fan of music in film that isn’t era appropriate but it really worked here.
This was always my favorite sports movie, shed a few tears the first time I watched this.
I did too , miss playing ball should’ve stayed more focused 😢
@@FordFitness334 same man same...
@@FordFitness334wish my dad let me play football I bet I would’ve been good on defense 😭
_”And he can paaaass”_
I love that quote 😂
Lol me too. Always quote it when I rewatch 🤣
He was talking about passing class.
@@clearlycaribbeanreb2895 he was really say he can throw the football lol…
What Song is this in beginning
Tim McGraw was actually really good in this movie.
The way his character acts twd his son in the movie I act that way toward my little brother. Shits funny af 😂
He played his role real well!
He’s actually a really good actor given his level of experience
yes, he played a really good jerk dad !
He's a good actor but I guess your pride makes it hard to admit that since he's a liberal and you've been taught that all liberals are idiots.
“Isn’t that guy like 35?” There’s one in every town
Wooderson
@@strangebrew1231 "alright, alright, alright.."
0:35 - 0:56
Always gets me hyped! That buildup is amazing!
Amen to that
The song is "A Poor Man's Memory" by Explosions in the Sky. I got into that band because of this movie! Their music was so instrumental to the mood in Friday Night Lights.
Yessir
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.
What college you play for?
@@alightthatnevergoesout new mexico state, in las cruces nm, same town as those two hs
NAU None Atlantic University @@alightthatnevergoesout
Sounds like a blast. I wouldn't complain
@@alightthatnevergoesout New Mexico Military Institute, then New Mexico State...
"I ain't going out drunk foolin." a man who can think for himself.
He was the most mature kid on that team!
Lmao true texas boy
Greatest football movie hands down🎉
The Permian Panthers now, are a shadow of what they used to be back then.
Even Midland Lee has fallen by the wayside.
Damm
It’s not even called midland lee anymore the changed it to midland LeGaCy no cuz it was to “racists”
@@midnightswines Yeah, I already know that.
A group of butthurt bitches got together and complained about it, even though it was never an issue decades after that school was built and ready to accommodate students.
Texas HS dominated by the Cities at this point
DFW and Houston teams are basically guaranteed the championships now. Especially 5&6A. Westland was on that 4 year run until losing last year. Before them lake Travis had its moments. Every so often a San Antonio team does good but I’ve played both ATX and San a teams, we got beat by westlake 26-0, literally destroyed us but the kids played like they were recruited and skill trained beyond normal HS practice. And I personally know a friends little brother was recruited from several towns over and Graduated…we will say very recently. San Antonio players have size. They’ve got serious depth charts. That’s why these big city teams keep winning when you got 100+ players on freshman, JV&Varsity how the hell you gonna outlast them.
Billy Bob thortin is a good actor from a serious football coach to bad Santa
Plus a mentally challenged killer,only if he feels it is for the good of someone he loves(Sling Blade),to a brutally racist prison guard(Monster's Ball).
I couldn’t imagine living in a town where you got guys in their 30-40s trying to hang out with the football team, wearing their high school championship rings..it’s kinda sad.
What’s wrong with tradition
That’s why the movie was great. It exposed those people for exploiting those kids for fame and glory. Just like the WHOLE uil does. Something the movie didn’t do is give us a full in depth feel on David carter. Now there story is far more interesting then this story.
@@GorillaOmegaVillain I did in the Hudson Valley of New York. I wasn’t gonna be a professional athlete. I knew that. I played the game to have fun. I look back at those times as a small blip in my life. It doesn’t define me. Some people that short time in high school is all they have.
You just described every town in the Midwest & south lol
@@paigebray5768 I'm guessing that there's a full-length documentary about David Carter somewhere.
R.I.P. 🪦 Lee Thompson Young
Explosions in the Sky made this movie epic.
Made this and the tv series both Gold
This movie changed my whole life
I never understood why they never covered the “oil money” booster aspect in depth. Odessa was the center of the oil industry at one point in the USA, therefore it had a large amount of oil executives residing there. The Panthers definitely recruited and were probably amongst others in W. Texas the first schools to recruit at the HS level for football.
They were probably the first in West Texas but not first nationally the private catholic schools in Ohio for example would move kids from other states to their “Parrish” because it was their “Christian duty” see Archbishop Moeller in Cincinnati especially when Gerry Faust was the head coach.
Because it's a movie and anything that doesn't directly move the story forward is going to get cut.
Im not from texas but i had a friend that was and people only understand if they live in some of these smaller Texas towns . Football is life there .
Jesus loves you
Hallelujah
Praise Allah 🙏
Amen He does!!
Amen
😂😂😂😂
God that's a huge stadium for a high school team!
We played at Stanridge Stadium when I was in highschool. It's the 5th largest high school stadium in North Texas. I forget how much it costs now but it's over 1mil to build.
If a town of 20-30k people go to a game you need places for them to sit, so yeah.
Well Texas got some big school. Some there high school be looking like college…
If you think that's huge, then you should see Legacy Stadium in Katy, TX and the one for the Allen Eagles.
Texas has NOTHING but space. Lol
This is the best football movie made
I agree
I like The Replacements better but I see your point
Faith. Family. Football.
It’s more than just a game to us.
Amen
Nothing sadder than a loser father trying to drag his son down to his level instead of inspiring him to be better. Small Texas towns are full of men like that
he may be a loser but it felt like he was trying to make his son truly understand the gravity of his opportunity. it didn't feel like he wanted his son to end up like him.
You don't know Texans
He didn't want his son to end up like him. The film made it pretty obvious.
I sincerely thought he was going to leave the child with them haha
That was a sick prank when you think about it 🤣🤣
I believe Billy Bob Thornton as a football coach as much as i woudlve believed him as leader of The Bloods
Great football movie
👍👍👍
Absolutely
"When you have a reciever being jammed inside what will your brain tell you to do"
"Throw to the outside"
4:10 everytime I watch this scene makes me laugh lol 😂😂
This movie is top 2 football movies imo only behind remember the titans and you could make the argument it’s 1. If you played HS football you know the accuracy and just capturing all the emotions was so well done
I think Remember the Titans has too much “Hollywood” influence in it. There’s not way they did all that dancing when they came on the field
IMO this movie just barely edges out Remember the Titans for best football movie. It is criminally underrated. Just the music score that builds up before the start of 2-a-days is so intense and so perfect.
High school football was the highlight of their entire lives for most of these players. What a sad life.
Blood.. duck are you talking about. They all have accents. Must be Texas. Football is everything in certain parts of texas.
Football is the American religion tbh
I'm a football junkie and i don't care who knows it!
It makes me feel ready for 🏈 season
From not winning state to drifting he chose a good way
Started my football career in Odessa played for the Noel saints and I was the r.b. in 82 83
R.I.P. Coach Gaines
Where passion meets unhealthy obsession.
Great motivated speech, but his half time speech was even better, preparing them for the rest of their lives
RIP Coach
Yes, we lost Coach Gaines last month. RIP
Great movie and tv series
Coach just let the father come down on the field and abuse his son. Not a word. 😅
Life was different in the 80s my dude.
Gutless.
@@cdr861532 facts! Especially in small towns like that!
I wouldn't jump in between a dad and a son, but when he pushed another parents kid the rules change.
@@taylorc2542exactly. Why would you step in between a Dad and his boy in that situation. Bro had his helmet on he didn't jump on top of him and punch him
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 real life Boobie did play fullback. I think the Comer thing might be him playing both ways but it could also be a continuity issue
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.
May have to watch this again. It's been a few years. Never watched the series.
I like Don Billingsley, he was the Best Fullback in the World. I wish I need an Adopted Brother who looks like Young Garrett Hedlund was my Age.
I love Tim Riggins, but Billingsley looks like an actual HS fullback, whereas Rig looked like he was Peyton Hillis in his last year at Arkansas.
Billingsley was all over Big D in the 90s as an insurence salesman, on billboards and tv.
@@SuperSparrow45 Me too, I like Tim Riggins & Don Billingsley too, they are the Best Fullbacks in High School. Even James "Boobie" Miles & Brian "Smash" Williams was the Best Running Backs in High School too.
@@SuperChuckRaney I didn't know that Don Billingsley becomes the Insurence Salesman, and he works on Billboards and TV.
FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS AND REMEMBER THE TITANS ARE THE ONLY TWO FOOTBALL FILMS WITH THE BULL RING
Get you one of these
Straight As
In what subject
Is only subject..... is football 😀😀😀😀
Boy is a baller
I’m small town it what’s you got all your going get till you find your way out there next generations some never will
Great parenting @ 3:43 either hold on to it or go play Tennis
Holding on too the ball in football is not easy…
Mostly when you playing offense you got big people hitting you super hard…
Ain't gotta worry about it. You ain't getting the ball your job is to be blocking for BOOBY
Show is even better
good ole "bull in the ring"
That drill separated the men from the boys!!
Respect
Billy Bob stole the show!
I subscribed to your channel
Party at Taylor’s house NOW, you better be there! Why aren’t you there now, 35yr old guy? 😂
These days, the father would have been arrested for assault. So he got blamed for losing the ball after getting destroyed in a tackle? Maybe the dad should go on the field and take those hits.
Well his dad actually did take those hits and win a State Championship. Obviously, that was the best time in his life and that’s why he wanted his son to have what he had so bad. I’m glad at the end they both saw a bigger picture in life
What is the background song that starts at around 4:30?
With tired eyes, tired minds, tired souls, We Slept by explosions in the sky
If you played high level ball you know it’s only black spikes never white
"would you say that to Walter Payton???"
Isn’t this “the program”. Nope, but I need the rewatch this, or just watch varsity blues and the program
Gotta love Hollywood. There is no scenario where a Dad walks on the field and does that…
I’m from there. It’s accurate.
Babies and memories
...It's a fucking practice lmfao
No, it's opening day, everyone is posing and posturing.
We beat Dallas Carter 2 times a year and beat Odessa a few times. Our practices didn't have specators.
But opening practice day is an event for family etc.
We didn't have a lecture after practice, we lifted weights.
@@SuperChuckRaney only some of us get it. Most don’t, & won’t even get the difference
@@SuperChuckRaney exactly. See how everybody is lookin
What is the intro song
What's the song in the beginning?
“A Poor Man’s Memory” by Explosions in the Sky
Shoulda ran the Oopty Oop
Ca coach would never let a parent get into practice.
Does anyone know the name of the man at 3:03?
It’s Tim McGraw country music star
I hate the zoom/shaky camera style
am i tripping or is #26 the younger brother in the movie four brothers?
You ain't tripping, its the same actor, I don't know his name though
Garret Hedlund. He’s also a country singer - fun fact
So they just let the dad go on the field and do that to his son? Jesus
In Texas Football is religion and it runs through the veins of the entire state.
Jesus is Lord
We had multiple parents come on the field during practice lol not physically assault but yeah...they get over passionate I guess
If it keeps the kid from coughing up the ball then it was worth it
@@whatever_it_takes6691 but could change him mentally. In a bad way
What’s the name of this song?
He sure as hell holds the ball seconds before the end of the game. Shame he loss
What is the song called in the beginning
A poor mans memory
Black Nike's or nothing
Williams Jennifer Taylor Susan Gonzalez Elizabeth

karl childers and frank wheatley together again.
Awesome 👏
town cares too much about HS team
It’s Texas
You never played ball in a small town
Never been to Texas I see. Or Central Valley California 👍🏼🔥🏈
@@cirilomedina1474 Or Arkansas, or Mississippi, or Alabama, or Georgia...
@@cirilomedina1474 my dad is from the central valley. Whole dad's side still lives there including him. Tulare, porterville, Hanford, and Fresno. I grew up in LA with my mom but you are right about central valley football. They don't play.
Hey now that it over DONT BE MEAN TO GOD JUST DOING HIS JOB 😢
💪💪😎😎
Well I tell you what and now my town is weak no more trophies because of the wannabe
You wanna win, let Boobie spin!
lol not super intimidated by small towns. I wish you would try to intimidate me even if it is a small town
We will win state… we will win state… SIKE 🤣😂💀
Well they did the best season in ‘89 so coach was a year early ha
Dallas won in 1988 in mojo won in 1989…
F coach gaines.
I will if he shows me his Falsy!!!
What's that saying put your foot in your mouth!!
God this movie was so cheesy. I don't care how obsessed this school is with football, there's no way they would just let a father abuse his son right on the field like that.
The book is phenomenal the movie not so much
Never heard of child abuse? Lol
@@sela562jig Of course I've heard of it. The issue isn't whether or not it exists, but weather or not someone could do it openly in front of over a hundred witnesses without them doing anything.
@@TheStapleGunKid I was just joking guy. It's not that serious. It's a movie.
There are 50 States, but I believe Texas is on another level when it comes to HS football. And this what, 1988, and Dad was a past legend on the same team….absolutely that could have happened. Now today, even in Texas, with everyone having a smartphone……this episode of “child abuse” would go be viral 30 minutes later
this film sorely lacked some gay romances between the players. Would of made it more realistic. Maybe one of the players dating someone trans could of been good to further the cause and progressive agenda. Missed opportunities.
Cmon man, this is a good film. Just enjoy something for what it is and Stop being so goddamn miserable for once. I'll bet your really cool to hang out with. 🙄🙄🙄
hahaha and bud light too
Things gays say
I played against boobie miles in midget football. You could tell then he was going to be great. He was a little too cocky for my taste. I told him to be more humble bc you never know when it might end
Most of this is cringey lol
stupid fake movie. at least keep the facts
It’s a classic.
No, it wasn't 100% accurate but what movie is? The movie did capture the strain the coaches and players were under and their tremendous passion to represent their town. It definitely showed how important high school football is out in West Texas.
It's the best football movie of all time period.
This is a classic ❤
@@elMore1107 classic fake.
