BOYS OF FALL documentary on ESPN

Recommended Posts

Gosh, I hope they play it again.  It would be a shame not to.  All the greats were on there talking about teamwork, lifelong friendships, discipline, and the camaraderie of football and the impact it had/has on their lives.  Joe Namath, Nick Saban, Tony Dungee, Troy Aikman, all spoke of their high school football days.  I especially liked what Tony Dungee had to say about the game that he remembers the most in his life.  I have not googled it yet to see when it will show again but am hoping they have enough positive feedback to air it out many times.

I stumbled on it about 20 minutes into it and hit the record on the DVR.  Great documentary that Kenny Chesney actually directed.  I will look for it and record the whole thing as soon as I can find it in the listing on my Dish.  Not sure if any of you noticed but they had music from the movie Friday Night Lights near the end.  It gave this old dog a few chills.

    • I too, wish #15 was healthy and playing.  And also another RB (can't recall the #), who went down in the first game of the season. But, some others have stepped up and are hard runners.  I'm really looking forward to watching this game. 
    • Still, from what little I saw, it should have been a much closer game.  WOS was missing some fundamentals on defense, and a lack of imaginative play calling on offense.  Just my opinion as an objective observer on Texan Live, which was horrible btw, but that's another story. 
    • Either way,one game lead in the series. I rely to much on word of mouth 
    • West Orange Stark has been a powerhouse since I csn remember. At some point, your bound to fall off to some degree. Alabama has 3 or 4 loses this season. Who would have thought? Has Orange lost kids to LCM or even Orangefield?
    • Interesting matchup this Friday. Both teams have very good offensive and defensive lines, which will make this game interesting. Having watched Texas High all season, they have a wide open offense with very good skill players. If you look at their stats they run the ball 57% of the time and pass 43% of the time. Personally, that is a bit deceiving, as most of their games have seen reserves running the ball in the 4th quarter. I would estimate the primary offense is 50/50. Through 12 games they have run for 3,224 yds (48tds) and passed for 2,894 yds (32 yds). Potter, the Tiger QB, has been very efficient with a 69% completion rate and 1 interception (which came from a tipped pass). The passing is distributed primarily to 4 receivers…. Ball (865), Wrightner (811), Montgomery (532), & Pilgreen (392). The rushing comes from 3 running backs … Johnson (1,432), Ball (768) & Moore (716).  The Tiger defense is solid and very quick.    Hope #15 is healthy enough to play. He is a test for any defense. I was concerned about the Nederland RB, but felt Texas High did a good job containing him. I wish this game was in the afternoon, as Nachitoches is having their Festival of Lights and their will not be any rooms in the inns and restaurants will be full so plan accordingly. PNG are state champions until someone knocks them off, so I extend the Indians the respect they deserve. Pulling for the Tigers.
