00:01.866 --> 00:04.327
And you're about to see a movie
about all three.
00:04.786 --> 00:07.163
Enjoy the film.
God bless you.
00:41.113 --> 00:44.283
♪ Are you ready now? ♪
00:44.408 --> 00:46.202
♪ To get on down ♪
00:46.327 --> 00:47.703
Football.
00:47.829 --> 00:50.122
Some say it's
the greatest game
00:50.248 --> 00:52.458
in the history of mankind.
00:54.293 --> 00:56.128
Here in Texas,
it's more than that.
00:57.505 --> 01:00.383
More than glory.
More than bragging rights.
01:01.008 --> 01:03.511
More than...
even life and death.
01:04.804 --> 01:07.265
It's a shot at immortality.
01:10.059 --> 01:11.602
And if they do it right,
01:12.520 --> 01:14.730
the only thing left
on that field
01:14.856 --> 01:17.525
is the blood, sweat,
and tears
01:17.650 --> 01:18.776
of both them...
01:20.862 --> 01:22.113
and their opponents.
01:24.699 --> 01:27.869
But this story isn't just
about football.
01:29.453 --> 01:31.706
Just under two
minutes left in the fourth.
01:31.831 --> 01:34.500
The Sul Ross Lobos
need a big stop here.
01:36.460 --> 01:37.837
Oh, what a hit!
01:37.962 --> 01:39.005
Mike Flynt comes up
with his...
01:39.130 --> 01:40.047
Yeah!
01:40.172 --> 01:41.591
...22nd tackle of the night.
01:41.716 --> 01:43.509
Cheap shot!
Knock it off!
01:43.634 --> 01:45.011
Oh, not so tough now, huh?
01:45.136 --> 01:46.804
Back off, 75!
01:46.929 --> 01:48.598
And here we go again!
01:48.723 --> 01:50.266
Flynt is not one
to tangle with.
01:50.391 --> 01:52.268
That's gonna take us out.
01:52.393 --> 01:54.937
I imagine Coach is not gonna
be happy to see this.
01:55.062 --> 01:57.899
This is my dad.
Mike Flynt.
01:58.024 --> 01:59.525
75? He ain't gonna talk
to me like that.
01:59.650 --> 02:00.776
Middle linebacker
02:00.902 --> 02:02.904
and team captain
of the Sul Ross Lobos.
02:03.029 --> 02:04.238
Eileen.
02:04.739 --> 02:07.199
And this is my mom,
Eileen.
02:07.325 --> 02:08.576
- Hey.
- Hey.
02:08.701 --> 02:11.120
Did you, uh, enjoy
the game tonight?
02:11.746 --> 02:13.164
You played great.
02:13.289 --> 02:15.833
That last hit, uh...
it was for you.
02:15.958 --> 02:17.752
Okay, well,
02:17.877 --> 02:19.253
don't go telling
that boy's mother.
02:19.378 --> 02:21.005
I don't need enemies.
02:24.425 --> 02:25.259
Ouch.
02:27.345 --> 02:28.930
You must really like
hittin' people, huh?
02:29.805 --> 02:31.265
Only if they can hit back.
02:32.767 --> 02:35.853
And this is where
our story begins.
02:44.070 --> 02:46.030
Okay, boys,
this looks fine.
02:46.155 --> 02:47.531
Let's start on it
in the morning.
02:47.657 --> 02:49.825
Alright, Mike.
02:49.951 --> 02:51.744
- Nice work. Thank you.
- Yeah, Mike.
02:57.041 --> 02:59.168
Okay, Oscar, nice work.
See you in the morning.
02:59.293 --> 03:01.087
Get out of the way, old man!
03:03.297 --> 03:05.216
Hey, move!
03:06.634 --> 03:09.011
Let's go, man, move it!
03:15.393 --> 03:17.269
Some of us have
got to get to work!
03:17.395 --> 03:18.771
Doin' the best
I can here.
03:18.896 --> 03:20.439
Get out of the way
before I get out
03:20.564 --> 03:21.440
and move you!
03:21.565 --> 03:22.858
- Hey, Manny?
- Yeah.
03:22.984 --> 03:25.653
Having some car trouble?
Let me see your keys.
03:25.778 --> 03:27.154
- There you go.
- Thanks, man.
03:27.279 --> 03:29.240
Hey!
03:31.617 --> 03:34.286
- Hey, friend. I got an idea.
- Yeah?
03:34.412 --> 03:36.122
Why don't you take his keys
and start his car
03:36.247 --> 03:38.332
and I'll sit in your truck
and beep your horn, huh?
03:38.457 --> 03:40.084
This doesn't concern you.
03:40.209 --> 03:41.919
Hey, man! He's a vet.
03:42.044 --> 03:43.129
Why don't you show
some respect?
03:43.254 --> 03:44.880
Why don't you get
out of my face
03:45.006 --> 03:47.883
and have senile G.I. Joe
move that car right now?
03:51.554 --> 03:52.763
Tell me something, sweetheart.
03:53.514 --> 03:54.598
Your butt glued to that seat?
03:54.724 --> 03:56.183
Or you just
too scared to get out?
03:56.308 --> 03:58.853
- Why don't you say that again.
- Oh, it's not glued, huh?
03:58.978 --> 04:00.021
You're not scared.
04:36.432 --> 04:38.350
- Hey, sunshine!
- Hey, Daddy.
04:38.476 --> 04:39.310
Where are you off to?
04:39.435 --> 04:40.561
Spin class.
04:40.686 --> 04:42.313
Oh, Micah's in town.
He's droppin' by.
04:42.438 --> 04:43.564
For dinner?
04:43.689 --> 04:44.940
Nah, he's just meeting
his friends here,
04:45.066 --> 04:46.233
which is why I'm gonna
disappear
04:46.358 --> 04:47.735
because anytime
his friends are in town,
04:47.860 --> 04:49.236
he wants me to dress
like a nun.
04:49.361 --> 04:53.032
Well, hey, my son is more
conservative than I am!
04:53.157 --> 04:54.825
I don't think you need
to dress like a nun
04:54.950 --> 04:56.494
till you're in college.
04:56.619 --> 04:58.454
You don't have to worry about
that for two more months.
04:58.579 --> 04:59.872
Oh, don't remind me.
04:59.997 --> 05:00.915
That's great.
05:01.457 --> 05:03.709
What is this?
Is this something new?
05:04.543 --> 05:05.920
How do you do this?
05:06.045 --> 05:06.879
Gently.
05:07.004 --> 05:07.922
Which is not something
05:08.047 --> 05:09.590
you would know anything...
05:10.382 --> 05:12.676
- Mike, what's that?
- It's nothing.
05:13.928 --> 05:14.929
What happened?
05:27.691 --> 05:29.777
So, you think
you could make tenure?
05:31.278 --> 05:34.615
I'm just a lecturer,
so not-not right now,
05:34.740 --> 05:36.867
but later.
05:37.535 --> 05:38.702
That-That's the goal.
05:38.828 --> 05:40.204
Can you stay for supper?
05:40.329 --> 05:43.165
No, we can't.
Decker and the boys...
05:43.290 --> 05:44.708
- Decker.
- Yeah.
05:44.834 --> 05:46.085
They're gonna come pick me up.
05:46.210 --> 05:48.546
Decker's playing at the, um...
the Brewhouse.
05:48.671 --> 05:49.964
Oh.
05:50.089 --> 05:51.173
Yeah, you should come.
05:51.841 --> 05:54.176
Well, if you could convince
your daddy,
05:54.301 --> 05:55.970
maybe we could come together.
05:58.931 --> 06:01.433
Hey, Dad.
06:02.768 --> 06:03.686
Hey, Dad?
06:06.480 --> 06:07.314
Dad!
06:08.274 --> 06:09.316
Hey.
06:09.441 --> 06:10.442
Hey, Micah.
06:11.277 --> 06:13.445
You wanna take a turn?
06:15.281 --> 06:17.408
Uh, no, I'm alright.
06:23.747 --> 06:24.582
How's work?
06:26.292 --> 06:27.501
Work's fine.
06:27.626 --> 06:29.461
- Mom was saying--
- It's fine.
06:30.171 --> 06:31.338
Frame's almost done.
06:37.303 --> 06:38.679
How's that school of yours?
06:39.180 --> 06:40.890
Them kids giving you
any trouble?
06:42.808 --> 06:43.767
School's good.
06:44.268 --> 06:45.102
Uh-huh.
06:46.061 --> 06:47.688
Come on. Why don't
you take a turn?
06:48.606 --> 06:50.024
You know, exercise
is good for you.
06:50.149 --> 06:51.275
It builds character.
06:52.276 --> 06:54.403
My character's fine.
06:54.528 --> 06:56.572
What are you afraid of?
06:57.114 --> 06:59.158
Heavy bag's not gonna hurt you.
06:59.241 --> 07:01.493
Here. You used to have
a good left.
07:01.619 --> 07:03.579
Unless maybe spending
all that time at that school
07:03.704 --> 07:05.414
has made you lose it.
07:10.294 --> 07:11.503
I said I don't want to.
07:12.379 --> 07:14.632
Come on, son. Man up.
07:15.257 --> 07:16.383
Take a few shots.
07:38.364 --> 07:39.573
Keep your hands up.
07:39.698 --> 07:41.367
Pop!
07:41.492 --> 07:42.785
I don't wanna see you cry.
07:42.910 --> 07:45.120
Come on, Mike.
No tears. No tears!
07:46.121 --> 07:47.665
Come on, be a man.
Don't flinch.
07:48.999 --> 07:51.210
I want you to hit me.
Come on. Come on!
07:52.670 --> 07:53.712
I want you to hit me, Mike!
07:59.301 --> 08:00.261
You're a runt, Mike.
08:01.428 --> 08:02.846
You're a runt
and you always will be.
08:03.472 --> 08:04.890
But you can hit.
08:05.015 --> 08:07.184
So I'm gonna explain
to you the rules.
08:09.520 --> 08:12.106
First of all, if some fool
starts a fight with you
08:12.231 --> 08:13.315
and you back down,
08:13.440 --> 08:14.942
it's a whippin'
when you get home.
08:15.943 --> 08:17.444
Second, most importantly,
08:18.946 --> 08:21.615
if you fight and don't win,
you get a whuppin'.
08:22.491 --> 08:23.492
Yes, sir.
08:24.618 --> 08:25.869
Get inside.
08:25.995 --> 08:27.705
Wash that blood off
before your mom sees.
08:52.438 --> 08:54.606
That's my nose!
08:55.733 --> 08:57.151
I'll trade you this
for that little boy.
08:57.276 --> 08:58.610
No, not yet.
08:59.278 --> 09:00.529
Alright. Well, next week,
09:00.654 --> 09:02.740
I'm gonna teach you how
to light a bottle rocket.
09:02.823 --> 09:04.616
And I'll teach him
who to aim it at.
09:04.742 --> 09:06.118
- Yeah, okay.
- Night-night.
09:06.243 --> 09:08.746
Thanks, honey.
Thank you. Thank you. Mwah!
09:09.246 --> 09:10.581
Sorry I missed Micah tonight.
09:10.706 --> 09:12.291
When's he going back
to Knoxville?
09:12.416 --> 09:15.169
I don't know. He didn't say.
No, he didn't say anything.
09:15.294 --> 09:17.087
- 'Cause you didn't let him.
- Stop that.
09:18.756 --> 09:21.967
Alright, well, I guess
I'll get him down for bed.
09:22.092 --> 09:23.927
Yeah, since you
riled him all up, so...
09:24.053 --> 09:26.513
- Bye! Bye!
- Good night, guys.
09:26.638 --> 09:28.432
- I love you!
- Nanny loves you.
09:35.272 --> 09:36.899
What you looking at?
09:37.816 --> 09:39.234
It's just junk mail.
09:42.279 --> 09:43.113
Hey.
09:44.531 --> 09:46.116
Junk. Junk.
09:46.241 --> 09:47.368
Junk.
09:48.911 --> 09:50.079
Junk.
09:59.296 --> 10:00.339
Come on.
10:00.839 --> 10:02.299
- Hey.
- Hey.
10:03.300 --> 10:04.593
How's it going?
10:04.718 --> 10:07.012
Just rewatching a classic.
It's a good game.
10:07.137 --> 10:07.971
Oh, yeah?
10:09.932 --> 10:11.433
You know, I found this
10:12.393 --> 10:13.602
in the garbage can.
10:15.938 --> 10:17.689
Well, don't go pinnin' me
like that.
10:17.815 --> 10:20.025
I'm a West Texas girl.
I'll kick your tail.
10:22.486 --> 10:24.405
Some of them are already gone.
10:25.364 --> 10:28.367
Dave Cooper. Jesse Nunez.
10:30.160 --> 10:32.329
Life's too short, Mike.
10:33.038 --> 10:35.165
And I know how much
you love that team.
10:35.666 --> 10:37.626
And I know how much
they loved you.
10:47.302 --> 10:50.097
Hey, boys!
Hour past curfew. Get inside.
10:50.222 --> 10:51.140
Gentlemen.
10:52.141 --> 10:53.350
You know the rules.
10:53.934 --> 10:56.437
Stay outside, you're washing
Charlie's car tomorrow.
10:56.562 --> 10:57.771
I ain't washing
nobody's car, Flynt.
10:57.896 --> 10:59.314
What are you doing,
Walker?
10:59.440 --> 11:00.858
It ain't a big deal.
We're just having fun.
11:00.983 --> 11:02.401
It is a big deal.
I'm the captain.
11:02.526 --> 11:03.694
You're acting like
the sheriff.
11:03.819 --> 11:06.488
You ain't nothin'
but a little punk.
11:10.951 --> 11:12.453
Hey! Hey!
11:12.578 --> 11:14.788
What's going on? Break it up!
11:14.913 --> 11:17.708
Hey! Mike!
Get off! Break it up!
11:18.292 --> 11:20.627
Get off me, Coach!
I'll kill this fool!
11:20.752 --> 11:23.046
- Go to your dorm! Back off!
- You're done, Mike!
11:23.172 --> 11:25.799
You're done!
You're done!
11:27.676 --> 11:28.635
Hey, Mike.
11:31.096 --> 11:32.806
Coach, you, uh,
wanted to see me?
11:33.891 --> 11:35.934
Son, you're not gonna be
captain of the team this year.
11:36.560 --> 11:37.394
Why not?
11:38.437 --> 11:39.730
In fact, you've been kicked
out of school.
11:39.855 --> 11:42.024
Coach, come on. Please don't
kick me off the team.
11:42.149 --> 11:43.400
You're not listening.
11:44.610 --> 11:46.403
Not just the team, the school.
11:48.113 --> 11:49.865
Sul Ross doesn't want
you here anymore.
11:50.949 --> 11:52.993
How many fights since
you've been here, Michael?
11:53.118 --> 11:55.245
Ten? Twenty? Thirty?
11:55.370 --> 11:56.872
President Clark
called me last night.
11:56.997 --> 12:00.542
He said he's heard the name
Mike Flynt for the last time.
12:00.667 --> 12:04.171
Coach, this fight, it-it wasn't
a one-sided thing.
12:04.296 --> 12:06.548
Kids fight. I get that. I do.
12:08.008 --> 12:09.968
- But you're different, Mike.
- How so?
12:10.594 --> 12:11.803
You're the common denominator.
12:13.263 --> 12:15.641
The other coaches are in
your room packing your bags.
12:15.766 --> 12:17.351
We're gonna drive you
out to the highway.
12:17.476 --> 12:19.311
Your dad's gonna
meet us out there.
12:20.270 --> 12:21.563
We've already called him.
12:41.291 --> 12:42.751
I thought maybe you'd grown up.
12:44.711 --> 12:45.587
Turns out,
12:46.463 --> 12:47.839
you're still just a runt.
12:48.340 --> 12:50.509
I'm exactly what
you made me, Daddy.
13:16.201 --> 13:17.119
Hey.
13:19.454 --> 13:21.206
The 1971 Lobos...
13:22.791 --> 13:25.335
I mean, I wasn't even a part
of that team, remember?
13:25.460 --> 13:27.212
And yet they
invited you anyway.
13:29.965 --> 13:33.176
I called Randy as soon
as I saw the invitation.
13:33.302 --> 13:35.220
He's already made
a reservation for you.
13:36.054 --> 13:38.765
I thought we agreed never to
tell each other what to do.
13:38.890 --> 13:39.808
Hmm.
13:40.892 --> 13:42.686
I don't remember making
that deal.
13:42.811 --> 13:44.062
Thought I could slide
that through.
13:46.732 --> 13:47.691
You know...
13:48.483 --> 13:50.861
if you had any guts at all,
you'd just
13:50.986 --> 13:52.988
go down there and face
those guys.
13:53.113 --> 13:54.448
You think I'm afraid?
13:55.949 --> 13:57.242
I don't know, Mike.
13:57.868 --> 13:59.453
Maybe going down there would be
14:00.203 --> 14:02.122
a good way to start
figuring that out.
14:04.958 --> 14:05.959
Mike.
14:09.963 --> 14:10.839
Okay.
14:11.882 --> 14:12.883
Okay, I'll go.
14:13.008 --> 14:15.761
- You will? Oh, good!
- I will.
14:22.392 --> 14:23.310

Hey, 'keeper.
14:47.626 --> 14:48.669
Can I get a brew?
14:52.255 --> 14:53.090
Mike!
14:53.590 --> 14:54.966
Mike Flynt!
14:55.092 --> 14:56.843
Mike Flynt, get over here, boy.
14:56.968 --> 14:59.262
- There he is!
- Oh, boy, I'm in trouble now!
14:59.388 --> 15:00.889
- Hey!
- Mike Flynt's here, guys.
15:01.890 --> 15:03.433
- Hey!
- Look at you, Mike!
15:05.352 --> 15:07.521
I swear, time done
passed you by.
15:07.646 --> 15:10.065
Oh, enough about me, Charlie.
Have you seen Glen?
15:11.024 --> 15:13.443
Sir, do you know
Glen McWhorter?
15:13.568 --> 15:15.445
Yeah, he-he's in here
somewhere.
15:17.823 --> 15:19.825
Says in this I was 170 pounds.
15:19.950 --> 15:21.326
Oh, yeah, at birth.
15:23.370 --> 15:26.164
You know, I remember
every fight you ever had.
15:26.289 --> 15:28.834
Man, you was bad
to the bone, Mike.
15:29.501 --> 15:32.337
Hey, isn't that Walker
over at the bar?
15:40.429 --> 15:41.596
Yeah, that's him.
15:43.557 --> 15:46.518
What kind of a captain gets
kicked off his own team?
15:46.643 --> 15:48.019
Come on, it's ancient history.
15:48.770 --> 15:51.606
Eileen says that I never learn.
15:51.732 --> 15:53.316
I got in a fight
just the other day.
15:53.442 --> 15:54.860
Your daddy would be proud.
15:55.527 --> 15:57.904
He wasn't proud of the way
I treated this team.
15:58.029 --> 15:59.781
There's not a day that goes by
that I don't think
15:59.906 --> 16:00.866
about what I did to y'all.
16:00.991 --> 16:02.159
Let it go, man.
16:02.826 --> 16:05.412
Besides, none of us
even remember 1971.
16:06.079 --> 16:08.874
All I remember is the years
that you actually did lead us.
16:09.541 --> 16:12.961
Randy's right, Mike.
It was just football.
16:13.545 --> 16:14.755
We've all moved on.
16:14.880 --> 16:17.591
No such thing as
"just football."
16:17.716 --> 16:19.426
Yeah, well, you boys are right.
16:19.551 --> 16:21.887
And I thank y'all for
letting me off the hook.
16:22.012 --> 16:24.389
It's just sometimes I wish
I could go back
16:24.514 --> 16:26.057
and do it all over again,
that's all.
16:26.183 --> 16:27.642
Do what, exactly?
16:27.768 --> 16:29.019
My senior year.
16:29.144 --> 16:31.104
I'd like to go back
and play, too,
16:31.229 --> 16:32.856
but my body wouldn't.
16:32.981 --> 16:34.357
Y'all might think I'm crazy,
16:34.483 --> 16:36.943
but I feel like I could
still run with them.
16:37.068 --> 16:39.988
Yeah, what's wrong with a
59-year-old college linebacker?
16:42.157 --> 16:45.452
You know, technically,
I bet you're still eligible.
16:46.495 --> 16:47.454
You think I am?
16:47.579 --> 16:48.705
The college rules say that
16:48.830 --> 16:49.956
as long as you got
that senior year,
16:50.081 --> 16:50.957
you can play it.
16:51.249 --> 16:52.876
You still look like
a football player.
16:54.211 --> 16:55.837
I still feel like one.
17:01.176 --> 17:03.345
One more and we're
gonna be closing up.
17:10.268 --> 17:11.269
Hey, Walker.
17:15.106 --> 17:16.107
Hey, Mike.
17:17.734 --> 17:18.693
Ah.
17:20.195 --> 17:22.072
I guess this is
the elephant in the room
17:22.197 --> 17:24.282
speaking to the elephant
in the room, huh?
17:24.783 --> 17:25.659
Yeah.
17:29.579 --> 17:31.081
Look, Mike, there's been
something I've been
17:31.206 --> 17:32.833
wanting to tell you
for a long time.
17:34.042 --> 17:35.043
Go on.
17:37.045 --> 17:39.589
You know, it's been
over 35 years, and I...
17:40.757 --> 17:43.260
I shouldn't have taken so long
to tell you I'm sorry.
17:46.471 --> 17:47.597
You're sorry?
17:47.722 --> 17:49.933
I was a juvenile,
d-dumb as a rock.
17:50.058 --> 17:53.270
I-I got you kicked off the
football team, out of school.
17:53.770 --> 17:55.814
- I deserved a broken nose.
- What?
17:55.939 --> 17:56.898
Yeah.
17:57.691 --> 17:58.650
No.
17:59.526 --> 18:02.487
I... I've been consumed.
18:04.197 --> 18:05.699
There hasn't been a day
that's gone by
18:05.824 --> 18:08.410
that I didn't think about that
night when I lost my mind.
18:09.160 --> 18:10.245
You're sorry?
18:10.370 --> 18:11.580
Yeah.
18:21.756 --> 18:22.591
Hey.
18:24.092 --> 18:25.844
I overheard the guys
18:25.969 --> 18:28.263
and you talking about
trying out for the team again?
18:28.388 --> 18:30.390
Oh, yeah, that...
18:30.515 --> 18:32.934
Yeah, that's bananas.
You know that, right?
18:33.685 --> 18:34.644
Hey, Mike?
18:38.064 --> 18:38.982
You go for it.
18:42.652 --> 18:45.071
If anybody can do it, you can.
18:52.621 --> 18:54.080
So you're glad
you went?
18:54.205 --> 18:55.332
Yeah.
18:55.457 --> 18:56.875
- Thanks, Eileen.
- Good.
18:57.000 --> 18:58.501
Yeah, you were right.
It was healing.
18:58.627 --> 19:00.629
- I'm glad.
- Uh, listen...
19:00.754 --> 19:02.255
I got so much on my mind now.
19:02.964 --> 19:05.300
Would it be alright if
I stayed for a few more days,
19:06.301 --> 19:08.219
maybe, uh, checked out
the old campus?
19:08.345 --> 19:10.096
Uh, sure. Okay.
19:10.221 --> 19:11.598
I feel like I need this.
19:12.807 --> 19:15.185
Just come home with
a smile on your face.
19:15.810 --> 19:16.811
Okay.
19:17.437 --> 19:18.521
Thank you, darlin'.
19:19.272 --> 19:20.357
Speak to you soon.
19:58.061 --> 19:58.895
Yeah?
19:59.396 --> 20:00.271
Uh, hello?
20:00.772 --> 20:02.107
I'm Mike Flynt.
20:02.732 --> 20:05.068
I called, made an appointment?
20:06.277 --> 20:07.153
Yeah.
20:07.737 --> 20:08.863
Yeah, you're, uh...
20:09.781 --> 20:11.366
You're an alumnus, right?
20:11.491 --> 20:12.659
Well, almost, uh...
20:13.159 --> 20:14.828
I never finished
my senior year.
20:14.953 --> 20:16.037
That right? Why not?
20:16.746 --> 20:18.039
I got thrown out for fighting.
20:19.874 --> 20:21.084
But I still have that year.
20:21.960 --> 20:23.628
- What do you mean?
- I'm eligible.
20:23.753 --> 20:25.213
Eligible for what?
20:26.006 --> 20:26.840
To play.
20:28.967 --> 20:31.302
I checked, and I still have
that year.
20:31.928 --> 20:34.180
Coach, I'd like to try out
for your team.
20:34.931 --> 20:35.849
Huh.
20:36.641 --> 20:39.019
Yeah. Well, that's a relief.
20:39.144 --> 20:41.187
You know, I thought you were
here for a coaching job,
20:41.312 --> 20:43.064
and I'd have to find a way
to politely explain to you
20:43.189 --> 20:45.108
that we have no openings
on the team.
20:45.233 --> 20:47.819
But this way, we can just
have a good laugh, right?
20:48.445 --> 20:49.529
Well...
20:50.989 --> 20:52.073
I'm as funny as they come,
20:52.198 --> 20:53.533
especially after
a couple of beers,
20:53.658 --> 20:56.161
but, uh, this ain't no joke,
Coach.
21:03.293 --> 21:04.878
When'd you play here?
21:05.003 --> 21:06.880
'68, '69, '70.
21:08.131 --> 21:09.591
A few of the boys
are here,
21:09.716 --> 21:11.718
a couple of J.C.
transfers, too.
21:11.843 --> 21:13.303
They're about to run themselves
through some drills.
21:13.428 --> 21:14.596
You want to come down,
see what we got?
21:14.721 --> 21:16.222
Yeah, yeah. Sure do.
21:16.765 --> 21:17.682
Well, Mike.
21:18.558 --> 21:19.809
Really nice meeting you.
21:19.934 --> 21:21.853
Uh, may I join you, Coach?
21:22.771 --> 21:24.981

Alright, I'm Sam Weston,
head coach,
21:45.919 --> 21:47.420
for those of you
who don't know me.
21:48.463 --> 21:50.381
What do you say we play
a little touch football, huh?
21:50.507 --> 21:51.925
So I can see how y'all run.
21:52.050 --> 21:53.718
Let's do it.
21:53.843 --> 21:55.136
What do we have here?
21:55.261 --> 21:56.387
Uh...
21:57.847 --> 21:58.723
Thirteen.
21:58.848 --> 21:59.808
Uh, 14.
22:04.437 --> 22:05.814
Alright, you seven over here,
22:06.481 --> 22:07.690
you seven over here.
22:09.776 --> 22:11.528
Good to see you
playing with us, Coach.
22:11.653 --> 22:12.946
Should be good for team morale.
22:13.071 --> 22:14.030
Ain't your coach.
22:14.155 --> 22:15.406
Gonna be your teammate.
22:16.449 --> 22:17.700
Oh. Okay, cool.
22:18.576 --> 22:19.744
Some nice cleats.
22:20.245 --> 22:22.163
Ain't that what Fred Flintstone
tried out in?
22:23.206 --> 22:25.125
Let's get it!
22:25.250 --> 22:26.835
Alright, boys.
Cover one, cover one.
22:26.960 --> 22:28.002
- Ready?
- Break!
22:28.920 --> 22:29.796
Set. Go.
22:33.800 --> 22:35.468
Go, go, go, go!
22:38.012 --> 22:39.472
I see you!
22:41.516 --> 22:43.059
- Ready?
- Break!
22:43.184 --> 22:44.727
Strong right, strong right!
22:45.770 --> 22:46.729
Tight, you got tight.
22:46.855 --> 22:49.274
Ready? Set, go.
22:55.738 --> 22:57.323
Yo, man!
22:57.448 --> 22:58.491
That's it!
22:58.616 --> 22:59.534
Whoo!
23:00.743 --> 23:01.786
Let's go!
23:05.415 --> 23:07.041
Fred Flintstone
taught me that, son.
23:07.167 --> 23:08.877
Alright then, old man.
Do it again.
23:12.589 --> 23:13.882
Alright, here we go. Huddle up.
23:14.007 --> 23:16.009
Hey, great job today, Pops.
23:16.634 --> 23:17.510
Thanks.
23:21.347 --> 23:22.348
Hey, Coach.
23:22.974 --> 23:24.309
So, what'd you think?
23:25.435 --> 23:26.853
Hmm.
23:28.438 --> 23:29.564
Just to be clear,
23:30.523 --> 23:32.483
there's no hidden camera
somewhere?
23:33.318 --> 23:34.194
You're for real?
23:35.236 --> 23:36.696
Yes, sir. That I am.
23:36.821 --> 23:37.780
Hmm.
23:39.449 --> 23:40.575
Well, you can run with 'em.
23:41.201 --> 23:42.577
I'll give you that much.
23:43.244 --> 23:46.039
I got a million things racing
through my mind right now.
23:47.123 --> 23:47.957
But...
23:48.875 --> 23:49.876
I might let you try out.
23:51.461 --> 23:53.630
Thank you, Coach.
I-I don't know what to say.
23:53.755 --> 23:54.797
Don't be thanking me yet.
23:54.923 --> 23:57.383
Just be here August 12th,
ready to roll.
23:58.426 --> 23:59.385
Yes, sir.
24:06.476 --> 24:07.435
Whoo!
24:08.394 --> 24:10.188
It's a second chance, Eileen.
24:10.313 --> 24:11.606
How many of those do we get?
24:11.731 --> 24:13.399
Well, I thought you were
just gonna go
24:13.524 --> 24:15.693
look around
for old times' sake.
24:15.818 --> 24:17.987
I have to make up
for what I did.
24:19.280 --> 24:21.157
What about your job?
24:21.824 --> 24:22.992
Building's almost done.
24:23.117 --> 24:25.411
Brett says that
I'll have something
24:25.536 --> 24:27.080
no matter what
when I get back home.
24:27.205 --> 24:28.748
You talked to Brett
before talking to me?
24:30.500 --> 24:32.502
This coach is probably
gonna cut me.
24:33.962 --> 24:36.965
But I just want to go down
there and give it a shot.
24:37.090 --> 24:39.384
I mean, it's something
I have to do.
24:39.509 --> 24:41.469
I'm doing it.
24:46.057 --> 24:49.435
You are going to finish
those 12 credit hours
24:49.560 --> 24:51.229
for your degree,
24:51.354 --> 24:52.939
no matter whether you make
that team or not.
24:53.064 --> 24:54.440
Babe, for you,
24:54.983 --> 24:57.110
I will graduate
magna cum anything.
25:07.203 --> 25:08.496
Hey, old man.
25:09.664 --> 25:10.498
Hey.
25:12.625 --> 25:14.168
What are you doing here?
25:14.294 --> 25:16.671
I got some research at school.
Thought I'd swing by.
25:16.796 --> 25:18.214
- How's the job?
- It's good.
25:18.339 --> 25:19.465
It's good. It's busy.
25:19.590 --> 25:22.135
They always lay committees
on the new guy.
25:22.260 --> 25:24.345
Well, you know, you gotta
keep looking, Micah.
25:24.971 --> 25:26.264
For... For what?
25:26.389 --> 25:28.349
For another job,
one that gives tenure.
25:28.474 --> 25:31.019
Yeah, I'm teaching a full load.
25:31.144 --> 25:32.437
It's not easy to get
a job these days.
25:32.562 --> 25:33.980
No, no, no.
25:34.522 --> 25:35.940
We don't settle.
25:36.065 --> 25:37.942
You gotta keep grinding it out.
25:38.067 --> 25:40.194
Is that what you're doing
with the football thing,
25:40.320 --> 25:41.571
grinding it out?
25:41.696 --> 25:43.406
Oh, your mother.
She can't keep a secret.
25:43.531 --> 25:45.450
I thought we didn't keep
secrets in this family.
25:45.575 --> 25:47.702
I just wanted to tell you
directly
25:48.286 --> 25:50.163
from-from just-- from me to you
25:50.288 --> 25:52.498
so that it didn't sound as...
25:52.623 --> 25:53.916
Insane?
25:55.418 --> 25:57.712
Dad, have you thought
this through?
25:58.671 --> 26:00.590
- What's to think through?
- I don't know...
26:00.715 --> 26:03.843
Broken skull, broken femurs,
concussions?
26:03.968 --> 26:06.054
That's why I'm out here,
hoss man,
26:06.179 --> 26:07.972
so I can, you know,
work on the engine,
26:08.097 --> 26:09.515
make sure everything's
runnin' right.
26:14.771 --> 26:16.022
You know, Dad, this...
26:17.065 --> 26:18.983
This happened so long ago.
26:20.818 --> 26:22.528
Don't you think it's time
to let it go?
26:22.653 --> 26:24.364
I mean, why does this one
have to be a win?
26:24.489 --> 26:25.823
It's not about winning.
26:26.366 --> 26:27.617
It's about finishing
what you start.
26:27.742 --> 26:30.620
Come on, you and I both know
that's not true.
26:30.745 --> 26:32.705
It's always about winning
with you.
26:32.830 --> 26:34.499
You taught me that
since I could walk.
26:34.624 --> 26:36.667
Well, what, maybe I should have
taught you how to lose?
26:36.793 --> 26:38.628
Okay, look, you're not
hearing me, Dad.
26:38.753 --> 26:40.505
I'm hearing you just fine.
Thank you.
26:43.299 --> 26:45.301
Hope to see you back
at the house.
26:51.516 --> 26:53.017
There we go.
26:53.142 --> 26:54.769
That's all of it.
26:55.395 --> 26:57.522
Well, then, let's get you
off to college.
26:57.647 --> 27:00.066
At least this time
I got a hot roommate.
27:00.191 --> 27:00.983
Oh, my...
27:04.946 --> 27:07.323

28:28.821 --> 28:30.198
I can do this.
28:30.323 --> 28:31.991
We can bump some of this
old-man music.
28:32.116 --> 28:33.576
I remember this.
"Rubberband Man."
28:33.701 --> 28:36.454

28:55.515 --> 28:57.850
We just messing with you,
old man. Good to see you.
28:58.643 --> 28:59.560
Coaching, right?
28:59.685 --> 29:01.103
No, I'm gonna play.
29:01.854 --> 29:02.688

29:16.202 --> 29:19.080
Call me Mike.
We're teammates now, got it?
29:19.789 --> 29:20.748
Yes, sir.
29:33.469 --> 29:36.097
Get your head across!
You wanna be here?
29:36.222 --> 29:38.307
You wanna be here?

29:38.432 --> 29:39.475
Yes, Coach.
29:45.606 --> 29:46.774
Get your hands underneath.

29:57.618 --> 29:59.453
Today, there are 80 of you.
29:59.579 --> 30:02.665
In a week,
there's gonna be 54.
30:03.207 --> 30:04.458
Every one of you
is gonna have to
30:04.584 --> 30:05.793
earn a spot on this team.
30:05.918 --> 30:07.003
Alright.
30:07.128 --> 30:08.754
See you tomorrow, 8:00 a.m.
30:09.505 --> 30:10.506
Full gear.
30:22.643 --> 30:23.894
Come on, Mike.
30:29.108 --> 30:30.026
Come on.
30:48.377 --> 30:49.879
Alright,
move up, move up.
30:57.094 --> 30:58.137
Nice move, Jamal!
30:59.639 --> 31:01.223
Keep your head on a swivel,
old man.
31:01.349 --> 31:02.975
Hey, man, get off of him!
31:04.769 --> 31:06.562
You good? You okay?
31:06.687 --> 31:08.648
- Doc!
- Nice hit!
31:08.773 --> 31:09.940
Whoever that was.
31:10.566 --> 31:12.026
That old man
got stones.
31:12.777 --> 31:13.694
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
31:15.780 --> 31:17.073
How bad was that?
31:17.198 --> 31:18.783
It's just a stinger, Doc.
It's fine, it's fine.
31:18.866 --> 31:19.992
- I'm good.
- Take it easy.
31:25.331 --> 31:26.582
Hey, you ever done 'roids?
31:27.667 --> 31:29.251
There's a nice question.
31:29.377 --> 31:30.336
No.
31:32.088 --> 31:33.297
Were you a hippie?
31:33.422 --> 31:34.548
What?
31:34.674 --> 31:36.050
Bet you went organic, huh?
31:36.175 --> 31:38.302
A little creatine, deer antler,
31:38.427 --> 31:39.387
little horny goat weed?
31:39.512 --> 31:40.554
Horny goat?
31:40.680 --> 31:42.765
No, man. I never went organic.
31:42.890 --> 31:45.601
Then how are you doing this
at your age, man?
31:45.726 --> 31:47.895
At the moment, I got no idea.
31:48.979 --> 31:50.106
At least you're an old-timer
31:50.231 --> 31:51.732
that don't know all
the answers.
31:53.442 --> 31:55.695
Hey, uh, what's your name?
31:56.487 --> 31:57.947
- Jeremy.
- Jeremy what?
31:58.072 --> 31:59.031
Jeremy Cartwright.
31:59.156 --> 32:00.199
Mike Flynt.
32:00.324 --> 32:01.826
Flynt. Like the stone.
32:02.368 --> 32:03.577
I like that.
32:03.744 --> 32:05.204
Strike a flint,
you get a spark, right?
32:05.329 --> 32:07.289
Something like that.
32:08.290 --> 32:10.209
Hey, what are you
studying here?
32:10.960 --> 32:11.836
Me?
32:11.961 --> 32:13.754
Yeah, you.
32:13.879 --> 32:15.256
I'm getting my degree
in education.
32:15.381 --> 32:17.341
I want to teach third grade.
32:18.050 --> 32:19.009
Teach third grade?
32:19.135 --> 32:21.846
Uh, not second, not fourth?
Third?
32:22.763 --> 32:23.806
Third.
32:23.931 --> 32:24.849
I like that.
32:25.349 --> 32:26.183
Noble.
32:26.767 --> 32:28.644
We need more nobility
in football.
32:29.895 --> 32:30.813
Yeah.
32:32.314 --> 32:33.190
Where's the...
32:33.691 --> 32:34.525
Ah...
32:35.067 --> 32:36.068
Ah, there it is.
32:38.320 --> 32:40.698
Hi, sir. I was wondering
if I could discuss my schedule.
32:40.823 --> 32:42.241
Oh, I'm not a--
Uh, I'm a student.
32:42.825 --> 32:44.827
OMG. You're that grandpa
32:44.952 --> 32:47.037
who's on the football team,
aren't you?
32:47.163 --> 32:48.998
Well, I haven't made
the football team yet.
32:49.123 --> 32:51.000
- Are you Greek?
- Irish?
32:51.709 --> 32:53.043
I mean, like,
are you in a frat?
32:53.169 --> 32:54.795
- Excuse me.
- I'm Professor Gail Davis.
32:54.920 --> 32:57.715
And I hope you know
you're in Biochemistry 101.
32:57.840 --> 32:58.799
So let's get into it.
32:58.924 --> 32:59.759
Hey, Mike.
33:00.301 --> 33:02.052
It's one thing to take
our positions on the field,
33:02.178 --> 33:03.763
but don't go taking
our girls now.
33:03.888 --> 33:06.015
...carbohydrates,
the Acetyl-CoA.
33:06.140 --> 33:08.225
Now, brownie points for anybody
who can tell me
33:08.350 --> 33:10.686
what the CoA stands for.
Any smarties?
33:11.937 --> 33:13.314
Get loose. Get loose.
33:13.939 --> 33:15.608
Going to individuals
right after this,
33:15.733 --> 33:17.109
so get your minds right.
33:17.234 --> 33:18.360
Ah, come on, old-timer.
33:18.486 --> 33:19.862
Weak little stretch right now.
33:19.987 --> 33:22.072
- Weak little stretch.
- Easy now. Easy now.
33:22.198 --> 33:23.407
I'm old.
33:23.532 --> 33:25.117
What's up, man? You ready
for me, Father Time?
33:25.785 --> 33:27.453
I'll tell you what.
33:27.578 --> 33:29.163
You're out of time, son.
33:29.288 --> 33:30.539
We'll see.
33:34.376 --> 33:35.252
Got ya.
33:41.592 --> 33:42.718
How about that?
33:42.843 --> 33:43.761
How about what?
33:45.930 --> 33:47.306
How about that.
33:51.477 --> 33:53.646
He's like a 59-year-old Rudy.
33:59.777 --> 34:01.153
- That's it. Last one.
- That's it.
34:01.278 --> 34:02.530
Wait, o-one more.
34:04.365 --> 34:05.825
Come on, Mike.
34:05.908 --> 34:07.743
Making us look bad.
It ain't a contest.
34:07.868 --> 34:09.078
Nice effort, Flynt.
34:09.870 --> 34:11.914
Contest? Yeah. Contest.
34:12.039 --> 34:13.707
We're gonna do a contest.
34:13.833 --> 34:15.918
Contest! Alright?
34:16.043 --> 34:17.795
Alright,
now I want three benches
34:17.920 --> 34:19.547
lined up right here.
34:19.672 --> 34:22.842
Three of you are gonna lift
these 45-pound plates
34:22.967 --> 34:24.593
- 'til the last man quits.
- Yeah.
34:24.718 --> 34:26.470
- Alright?
- Done and done.
34:26.595 --> 34:28.055
Flynt?
34:28.180 --> 34:29.431
Of course.
34:29.557 --> 34:31.141
What? What'd you say?
34:31.642 --> 34:33.561
Haven't used it all up, Coach.
Let's go!
34:33.686 --> 34:35.855
Alright, let's go.
34:35.980 --> 34:37.147
Hey, I'm rootin' for you, Mike.
34:37.273 --> 34:38.399
Somebody better.
34:38.524 --> 34:39.817
Alright, now, get set...
34:40.734 --> 34:43.320
and on Coach Clay's whistle...
34:46.073 --> 34:48.576
Yeah! Come on,
come on, come on!
34:49.618 --> 34:50.744
Come on! Come on!
35:02.715 --> 35:04.717
Come on, Mike! You got 'em!
Come on, come on, come on!
35:04.842 --> 35:06.176
Keep going! Keep going, Mike!
35:06.302 --> 35:07.678
Don't you stop! Mike, come on!
35:07.803 --> 35:08.804
You got it! You got it!
35:09.763 --> 35:11.515
Let's go. You got this.
Let's go!
35:11.640 --> 35:14.059
You got it! You got it!
He stopped. Mike, come on!
35:14.184 --> 35:15.352
- Only got one left.
- Let's go!
35:15.477 --> 35:17.521
- Let's go, Mike! Let's go!
- Mike!
35:19.315 --> 35:21.734
Mr. Flynt! Mr. Flynt!
35:42.004 --> 35:43.130
From now on,
35:43.255 --> 35:45.674
this exercise
will be known as the...
35:45.799 --> 35:48.093
Mike Flynt!
35:53.349 --> 35:54.642
No, no, no, no, Mike.
35:54.767 --> 35:55.809
You-you good, man.
35:55.935 --> 35:57.478
You made the team 40 years ago!
35:57.603 --> 35:58.812
Forty years ago?
35:58.938 --> 36:01.023
Whoa, hey. So I found
the 1970 yearbook
36:01.148 --> 36:02.274
in the library,
and you know what it said?
36:02.399 --> 36:04.985
Said Mr. Flynt made 24 tackles
in one game.
36:05.110 --> 36:06.445
How many times
do I have to tell ya,
36:06.570 --> 36:08.030
don't call me Mr. Flynt.
36:08.155 --> 36:09.156
- Uh--
- Call me Mike.
36:09.281 --> 36:10.741
Wait. Hang on. Are you serious?
36:10.866 --> 36:13.202
It's true. And I thought
I was balling with 12 tackles.
36:13.327 --> 36:15.162
Yeah, you could make
24 tackles.
36:15.287 --> 36:16.580
Pfft. In my dreams, maybe.
36:16.705 --> 36:17.831
Well, it starts with dreaming.
36:17.957 --> 36:19.208
Like every week
I would daydream
36:19.333 --> 36:20.876
about the next game
and play this movie
36:21.001 --> 36:22.294
over and over again in my head.
36:22.419 --> 36:24.421
I'd like, just sack
the quarterback
36:24.546 --> 36:26.131
and stuff him for a loss.
You know?
36:26.256 --> 36:28.050
- Yeah.
- Time we got to the real game,
36:28.175 --> 36:29.426
I'd already won a dozen games
36:29.551 --> 36:30.970
in my mind's eye. You get me?
36:31.095 --> 36:32.429
That's like Phil Jackson's
Sacred Hoops.
36:32.554 --> 36:34.014
- That's right, exactly.
- Bruce Lee.
36:34.556 --> 36:36.976
- Ooh, Enter the Linebacker.
- Exactly.
36:37.101 --> 36:39.103
Zen and the Art of Ass-kicking,
36:39.228 --> 36:41.313
starring my man, Mike Flynt.
You know what I'm saying?
36:41.438 --> 36:42.898
Killing me, man.
36:43.023 --> 36:44.233
You know what?
36:44.358 --> 36:45.609
Maybe I can make 24.
36:45.734 --> 36:47.444
- Hey.
- Hey.
36:47.569 --> 36:49.113
Since you're daydreaming,
36:49.238 --> 36:50.864
you might as well make it 25.
37:03.627 --> 37:05.337
Hey, son. Hey, listen.
37:05.462 --> 37:07.423
This is the bad part of my job
and I hate doing it,
37:07.548 --> 37:09.216
but I'm gonna have to wind up
cutting you.
37:09.341 --> 37:11.301
Okay? It's not gonna work out
this year.
37:11.427 --> 37:13.012
Go back, work
on the fundamentals.
37:13.137 --> 37:15.931
I'll see you next year, okay?
See you next year.
37:16.056 --> 37:17.599
Alright? We're gonna gather up.
Alright?
37:17.725 --> 37:19.226
Gather up!
37:19.351 --> 37:20.769
Alright?
Come on, come on.
37:22.062 --> 37:23.772
Circle up. Circle up. Okay?
37:23.897 --> 37:27.276
Alright then. Coach Clay,
how many we got left?
37:27.401 --> 37:29.153
Fifty-four, Coach.
37:29.278 --> 37:32.656
That's it, boys. You made it.
This is your team.
37:32.781 --> 37:34.324
- Yeah!
- Congratulations.
37:34.450 --> 37:35.617
- Alright.
- Yeah.
37:35.743 --> 37:36.744
Does this mean I made it?
37:36.869 --> 37:38.162
Yeah, it means you made it,
Mike.
37:38.287 --> 37:40.414
- You did it, Mike.
- Yeah. You got this, man!
37:40.539 --> 37:42.249
- Congratulations!
- Hey, Coach.
37:42.374 --> 37:43.876
Does this mean I made the team?
37:44.501 --> 37:46.837
See, this is why you never
graduated in the first place.
37:46.962 --> 37:47.880
You don't listen.
37:48.005 --> 37:49.339
Oh, thank you, Coach!
37:49.465 --> 37:51.258
I promise you,
I will not let you down.
37:51.383 --> 37:53.802
Okay. Alright.
37:53.927 --> 37:55.804
Hey, look at that, huh?
37:55.929 --> 37:58.223
Ahora tú eres mi carnal,
Mr. Flynt!
37:58.348 --> 37:59.767
Well, thank you very much,
I think.
38:01.060 --> 38:01.935
You got heart, Flynt.
38:02.436 --> 38:03.479
- Thanks, Captain.
- You bet.
38:03.604 --> 38:04.563
I appreciate you.
38:05.064 --> 38:06.607
- Hey!
- Hey, Jeremy, man.
38:06.732 --> 38:07.941
- Hey, man.
- Ah!
38:14.031 --> 38:15.240
I'm sorry, man.
38:20.370 --> 38:21.872
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
38:21.997 --> 38:23.207
You're a great story.
38:30.672 --> 38:32.758
Ta-da!
38:35.552 --> 38:36.720
Well, congratulations.
38:36.845 --> 38:38.639
Oh, you made it!
38:43.227 --> 38:44.436
What's going on?
38:44.561 --> 38:46.688
Well, allow me the privilege
38:46.814 --> 38:50.526
of worrying about a husband
who's gonna fight semi-trucks
38:50.651 --> 38:52.069
- every Saturday.
- Come on.
38:52.194 --> 38:53.445
Can I just have
this one moment?
38:53.570 --> 38:54.822
Just this one moment.
38:54.947 --> 38:57.116
Like I said, congratulations.
38:58.117 --> 39:00.035
Well, DeLanie and Lily called.
39:00.160 --> 39:01.912
Uh, our grandson asked
39:02.037 --> 39:03.705
if I could knock
someone's head off.
39:03.831 --> 39:06.208
Uh-huh. What about Micah?
39:06.333 --> 39:07.876
Ah, Micah, I don't get.
39:08.502 --> 39:09.920
Well, he's worried about you.
39:10.045 --> 39:12.422
So he expresses that
by not communicating?
39:12.548 --> 39:14.675
- I don't buy that.
- Maybe he thinks silence
39:14.800 --> 39:16.844
is the only way
to reach you now.
39:18.679 --> 39:19.513
Hey.
39:20.389 --> 39:22.724
It's good. Good.
39:24.643 --> 39:27.062
Football is a contact sport.
39:27.187 --> 39:30.190
No, ma'am.
Football is a collision sport.
39:30.691 --> 39:32.901
- That makes me feel better.
- Dance. Dance...
39:33.026 --> 39:34.736
- is a contact sport.
- Ah.
39:34.862 --> 39:36.697
What do you think you're doing?
39:36.822 --> 39:38.699
I'm just making my move, woman.
39:40.242 --> 39:42.411
I swear, you're so beautiful.
39:42.536 --> 39:45.122
We've all heard stories about
retirees going back to school
39:45.247 --> 39:47.207
and getting their diplomas,
but have you ever heard
39:47.332 --> 39:49.877
of a 59-year-old guy
going back to college
39:50.002 --> 39:51.545
and signing up
for the football team?
39:51.670 --> 39:53.005
For Mike Flynt, number 49,
39:53.130 --> 39:54.381
age is just a number.
39:54.506 --> 39:56.300
...a Texas grandfather
who's tearing up
39:56.425 --> 39:58.552
the competition,
and it's no pickup game.
39:58.677 --> 40:00.012
It's in NCAA football.
40:00.137 --> 40:01.597
Mike Flynt asked himself
that question
40:01.722 --> 40:02.556
for 36 years,
40:02.681 --> 40:04.224
and now he has finally decided
40:04.349 --> 40:05.893
- to do something about it.
- Go, Mike.
40:06.018 --> 40:08.437
For 59-year-old grandfather
Mike Flynt,
40:08.562 --> 40:10.147
it's a dream that never died.
40:10.272 --> 40:11.773
- He's 59?
- 59?
40:11.899 --> 40:14.026
Jeez, man.
He's older than my dad.
40:14.151 --> 40:16.195
One more rep.
The only way we get beat
40:16.320 --> 40:17.404
out on that field
40:17.529 --> 40:19.448
is if you beat yourself
in here.
40:20.199 --> 40:21.783
You get out what you put in.
40:21.909 --> 40:23.076
One more rep.
40:23.202 --> 40:24.286
Don't quit.
40:24.870 --> 40:26.205
That's what I'm talking about,
Flynt.
40:26.330 --> 40:27.998
Come on, Fern-man,
you got this!
40:28.123 --> 40:29.291
Let's go!
40:32.169 --> 40:34.087
Next two, next two. Let's go!
40:35.464 --> 40:36.632
Hey, Fernie.
40:36.757 --> 40:38.217
You're as strong
as a bull, man,
40:38.342 --> 40:39.760
but you're hitting too high.
40:39.885 --> 40:41.220
Eyes through the thighs,
40:41.345 --> 40:43.347
wrap and squeeze,
drive for five.
40:43.472 --> 40:45.307
You can tackle a T-Rex
like that, man.
40:45.432 --> 40:47.559
Technique. Technique
instead of strength.
40:47.684 --> 40:50.103
Technique and strength. Got it?
40:50.771 --> 40:52.522
Let me see if I can take
my own advice.
40:52.648 --> 40:53.857
Thanks, Mr. Flynt.
40:53.982 --> 40:55.651
- Mike!
- Let's go. Mike, let's go!
40:55.776 --> 40:57.277
Let's go. Let's go. Alright!
40:57.402 --> 40:59.738
- Get in there!
- Here we go. Here we go.
40:59.863 --> 41:02.449
Here we go. Here we go.
41:05.410 --> 41:07.329
Yeah, baby!
That's what I'm talking about!
41:07.454 --> 41:08.914
That's what I'm talking about.
41:10.916 --> 41:12.626
Let's go. Next two. Next two.
41:14.878 --> 41:17.005
Nice hit! That's how to do it.
41:17.130 --> 41:18.632
- Let's go. Next group!
- Whoo!
41:18.757 --> 41:21.093
Ah, that's me. That's me.
That's me. Let's go.
41:26.473 --> 41:28.433
- He's mine.
- Take him out, Stanton!
41:29.935 --> 41:33.105
Oh, it's on now!
41:34.022 --> 41:34.940
Come on!
41:36.942 --> 41:38.151
Go!
41:42.322 --> 41:43.657
That's what I'm talkin' about!
41:43.782 --> 41:45.993
Don't bring it up in here,
old man!
41:46.118 --> 41:49.413
Let's go, guys! Go!
41:50.414 --> 41:52.207
Alright, listen up.
O-line's gonna see
41:52.332 --> 41:54.710
a lot of pressure on Saturday
so we're going blitz pickup.
41:54.835 --> 41:55.794
Let's get on the line.
41:56.586 --> 41:58.964
Watch 33. Punch the gap on two.
41:59.089 --> 42:01.133
Gramps is mine.
42:01.258 --> 42:03.385
- Ready! Blue 32!
- Coming for you, old man.
42:03.510 --> 42:05.429
Set, go!
42:08.682 --> 42:10.309
Sorry about that, Cap.
42:10.434 --> 42:11.643
- You're good.
- Alright, nice.
42:11.768 --> 42:13.478
- Good job, Flynt.
- Next time, Stanton.
42:13.603 --> 42:16.231
- You better shut up right now.
- Hey, focus. Listen to me.
42:16.356 --> 42:17.941
You're gonna get Kyle killed
playing like that.
42:18.066 --> 42:19.776
Keep your head on a swivel.
Get in there.
42:21.486 --> 42:23.822
Field, rip, smack.
Field, rip, smack. Ready?
42:25.157 --> 42:26.074
Break!
42:26.199 --> 42:27.409
Ready.
42:27.534 --> 42:29.161
Flynt. Switch side with Jones.
42:29.286 --> 42:30.912
- Go to the Will. Let's go.
- Yes, Coach.
42:31.038 --> 42:32.039
Go, Flynt.
42:36.126 --> 42:37.169
Ready?
42:37.294 --> 42:39.629
Red 88. Red 88.
42:39.755 --> 42:40.839
Set, go!
42:44.343 --> 42:46.636
Whoo! Nice hit, Flynt!
42:46.762 --> 42:48.847
That was next time, huh?!
42:48.972 --> 42:50.098
Yo, Money Mike.
42:50.223 --> 42:52.351
- You alright, Mike?
- Flynt, you okay?
42:52.476 --> 42:54.436
- Mike, come on, man.
- Is he okay?
42:55.020 --> 42:56.188
There you go, Mike. Come on.
42:56.313 --> 42:58.190
Come on, man up.
42:58.315 --> 43:00.484
- Flynt?
- Yeah, I'm fine, Coach.
43:00.609 --> 43:02.652
Don't look like it. Go see Doc.
43:02.778 --> 43:04.154
That was a cheap shot, Stanton.
43:04.279 --> 43:06.573
- You bush league punk--
- Now, Mike. Go!
43:06.698 --> 43:08.033
You're not
so tough now.
43:09.117 --> 43:10.577
And you hit
the showers!
43:10.702 --> 43:12.829
Out of my face!
43:14.206 --> 43:15.332
No, no.
43:26.343 --> 43:27.636
Ah, I got one question.
43:27.761 --> 43:28.804
Uh...
43:29.888 --> 43:32.808
how am I gonna hold my...
my wife's hand if I'm in there?
43:34.768 --> 43:36.019
- Here we go.
- You'll be alright.
43:37.396 --> 43:39.106
Love you.
43:50.409 --> 43:52.119
You've got
severely bulging discs.
43:52.244 --> 43:54.162
The C6 and C7.
43:54.287 --> 43:56.289
Rupture those,
and you might suffer
43:56.415 --> 43:57.874
permanent spinal cord injury.
43:57.999 --> 44:00.460
I'm not clearing you to play
until you've got full strength
44:00.585 --> 44:02.129
and range of motion
in your neck,
44:02.254 --> 44:04.339
shoulder, arms, and chest.
44:05.715 --> 44:08.176
Dad, this is exactly
what I was talking about.
44:08.301 --> 44:10.512
Come on, Micah.
Stop being such a worrywart.
44:10.637 --> 44:12.222
I'm-I'm following
the doctor's orders--
44:12.347 --> 44:15.016
Really? Since when do you
follow anyone's orders?
44:15.142 --> 44:17.269
Dad, it's-it's time
to let it go.
44:17.394 --> 44:19.479
Just stop it already, please.
44:20.313 --> 44:21.606
- I can't.
- So what?
44:21.731 --> 44:23.817
Me, Lily, Lanie, Mom,
44:23.942 --> 44:25.360
we just-- we don't matter?
44:25.861 --> 44:27.362
I hope you enjoy
playing your game, Dad.
44:33.577 --> 44:35.495
Hey, nice sweatpants, Flynt.
44:35.620 --> 44:37.330
Hides your diaper nicely.
44:37.998 --> 44:40.041
Oh, I am so sick of this dude.
44:40.167 --> 44:42.919
Hey, what's your problem
with me, Stanton?
44:43.044 --> 44:44.838
You better get outta my face,
old man.
44:44.963 --> 44:47.132
- You get outta my face.
- How's that busted shoulder?
44:47.257 --> 44:50.427
Break it up!
44:52.304 --> 44:53.847
Hey! That's enough!
44:53.972 --> 44:56.016
Get off of me! He's wasting
everybody's time, Coach!
44:56.141 --> 44:57.851
You hit the showers.
44:57.976 --> 44:59.102
- Come on.
- Hey!
45:01.396 --> 45:02.647
What are you doing, Mike?
45:02.772 --> 45:04.357
Every man has their limits,
Coach.
45:04.483 --> 45:06.526
And you shouldn't be
anywhere near yours.
45:15.243 --> 45:17.162
Yeah, I told you.
They're still here.
45:17.287 --> 45:18.497
Yeah.
45:22.918 --> 45:24.169
You remember?
45:24.294 --> 45:25.670
I do.
45:27.005 --> 45:29.758
- The first game, boys.
- Hey! What's up, Mike?
45:30.759 --> 45:32.761
I came
to wish you boys luck.
45:32.886 --> 45:34.387
Oh, yeah!
45:34.513 --> 45:37.098
I know you don't need any luck.
I know. I know.
45:37.224 --> 45:38.642
Get on the bus. Get on the bus.
45:38.767 --> 45:40.685
Come on. Even you guys.
Yeah. Come on.
45:40.810 --> 45:41.895
Hey, Coach.
45:42.020 --> 45:43.230
- Hey, Mike.
- Hey, uh...
45:43.355 --> 45:44.397
Decent of you to come by.
45:44.523 --> 45:45.565
Thanks. Can I have a word?
45:45.690 --> 45:47.442
- Sure.
- Hey, listen. Uh, uh...
45:47.567 --> 45:50.111
I was wondering if I could go
on the bus for a few minutes
45:50.237 --> 45:52.072
and say a few words
to the boys.
45:53.657 --> 45:54.491
Why?
45:55.158 --> 45:57.160
Why? Uh, well,
'cause I, you know,
45:57.285 --> 45:59.579
I've been around a lot
of football in my day and...
45:59.704 --> 46:02.040
you know, I feel like if I say
a few words to the boys,
46:02.165 --> 46:03.333
I could-- I could get 'em--
46:03.458 --> 46:05.502
Yeah. Let's not confuse
the boys, Mike, huh?
46:06.711 --> 46:08.338
But I do appreciate
you coming by, Mike.
46:08.463 --> 46:09.589
See you on Monday.
46:10.173 --> 46:12.842
First game, let's go!
Time to...
46:12.968 --> 46:14.344
A packed crowd here
46:14.469 --> 46:16.846
at East Texas Stadium
for the season opener.
46:16.972 --> 46:18.723
And with much
of the preseason hype
46:18.848 --> 46:21.017
centered around
the 59-year-old linebacker
46:21.142 --> 46:24.271
Mike Flynt,
today, the Sul Ross Lobos
46:24.396 --> 46:25.855
will have to go without Flynt,
46:25.981 --> 46:27.774
forced to stay home
with a neck injury.
46:27.899 --> 46:30.068
Let's get ready to rumble.
46:30.694 --> 46:32.445
Lobo football!
46:34.406 --> 46:36.157
Oh...
46:36.283 --> 46:37.450
Let me help you.
46:37.576 --> 46:40.579
- I have it, honey. Here...
- Alright.
46:43.832 --> 46:45.041
Alright. Would you get it?
47:00.015 --> 47:02.434
And you gotta
wonder if Coach Sam Weston
47:02.559 --> 47:03.852
is feeling the pressure,
47:03.977 --> 47:06.605
as the Lobos lose
another heartbreaker,
47:07.272 --> 47:09.065
23 to 21.
47:09.190 --> 47:10.567
Honey, can I help you?
47:11.067 --> 47:13.153
Yeah, yeah.
Just lift it a little bit.
47:13.278 --> 47:14.738
- Just a little.
- From underneath?
47:14.863 --> 47:16.156
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Okay. Just like that?
47:16.281 --> 47:17.616
- Yeah.
- That's good.
47:17.741 --> 47:19.117
- Keep going.
- Yeah? That's it.
47:19.242 --> 47:20.243
Look at that.
47:21.286 --> 47:23.788
No! No!
47:24.581 --> 47:26.124
No!
47:26.249 --> 47:27.375
Ah!
47:30.712 --> 47:31.546
Oh!
47:40.221 --> 47:41.848
Doctor says it's real simple.
47:42.849 --> 47:44.893
If I can't lift a football
over my head,
47:45.560 --> 47:46.686
I can't play.
47:47.270 --> 47:48.313
Yeah. So...
47:49.314 --> 47:51.733
- what if you can't play?
- Well, then all this...
47:52.609 --> 47:53.943
All this is for nothing.
47:54.569 --> 47:56.988
Nothing matters if I can't be
out there with my team.
48:00.241 --> 48:02.744
Honey, you don't have
to do this, you know?
48:03.328 --> 48:06.498
You don't have to prove
anything, to me.
48:09.167 --> 48:12.671
- We're your team too. Remember?
- Of course, I know that.
48:12.796 --> 48:15.006
And besides, you're supposed
to be thinking about retiring.
48:15.131 --> 48:16.841
I don't think you wanna do that
48:16.966 --> 48:18.176
paralyzed and in a wheelchair.
48:18.301 --> 48:19.386
I'm not gonna get paralyzed.
48:19.511 --> 48:21.012
Mike, you're a linebacker.
48:21.137 --> 48:22.597
You can't promise me that.
48:25.350 --> 48:26.309
Honey.
48:28.019 --> 48:30.355
- It's just a game.
- It's more than that!
48:34.609 --> 48:36.361
It's a whole lot more
than that.
48:48.039 --> 48:50.500
- Pull. There you go.
- Gah.
48:50.625 --> 48:51.835
Slow and steady.
48:52.460 --> 48:53.420
- Yes, sir.
- Alright.
49:14.190 --> 49:15.775
- You alright with this?
- Yeah, I got it.
49:15.900 --> 49:17.819
Look, I think I can drive
myself tomorrow, man.
49:17.944 --> 49:19.654
Are you sure? You know
doctor with the arm, man.
49:19.779 --> 49:21.865
Nah, thanks. See you tomorrow.
49:21.990 --> 49:23.241
- Sure?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
49:24.993 --> 49:26.244
Hey, Micah!
49:26.369 --> 49:28.204
- Hey, Dad.
- How you feelin'?
49:28.788 --> 49:29.873
Uh, better.
49:29.998 --> 49:31.416
Yeah?
49:33.209 --> 49:34.627
- Glad you're here.
- Yeah.
49:34.753 --> 49:37.630
Uh, hey, you know what?
I could use your help.
49:37.756 --> 49:39.382
Okay. Hey, let me get that.
49:39.507 --> 49:41.134
- Yeah. I got it. Yeah.
- Thanks.
49:43.470 --> 49:45.972
Alright. Look,
the cycle harnesses
49:46.097 --> 49:50.059
the available chemical energy
of acetyl coenzyme A
49:50.185 --> 49:52.604
into the reducing power
49:52.729 --> 49:54.731
of nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide.
49:54.856 --> 49:56.441
In the end, it's that simple.
49:56.941 --> 49:59.486
Basically, it's metabolism.
49:59.611 --> 50:01.946
- Amazing.
- It's exciting stuff.
50:02.071 --> 50:03.281
Yeah, I know.
50:03.406 --> 50:05.450
No, it's amazing
that you're my son.
50:05.575 --> 50:09.162
Where you get the talent
for this is not from me.
50:10.955 --> 50:11.873
Alright. Uh...
50:13.208 --> 50:14.501
Let's take a break. Yeah?
50:15.627 --> 50:18.338
Uh-oh...
Let me guess,
50:18.463 --> 50:20.882
the girls have pulled out
the heavy artillery.
50:21.007 --> 50:22.383
Look, Micah, I'm...
50:22.509 --> 50:25.053
I'm being careful.
I'm going slow.
50:25.178 --> 50:29.140
You shouldn't be going at all
after a neck injury.
50:29.891 --> 50:31.309
Come on, at your age?
50:31.434 --> 50:34.270
Seriously. What, what happens,
God forbid you go out there
50:34.395 --> 50:35.605
and you end up in a wheelchair?
50:35.730 --> 50:37.398
Son, you gotta trust me.
50:37.524 --> 50:39.442
What, like, you're on
some kind of quest?
50:40.318 --> 50:41.778
Like you're some kind of hero?
50:42.570 --> 50:44.113
Look, I-I...
50:44.739 --> 50:47.325
I-I just,
I feel like I could...
50:48.201 --> 50:50.411
make an impact with these boys,
50:50.537 --> 50:52.747
these-these kids,
that I could ne--
50:59.963 --> 51:00.797
Yeah.
51:01.548 --> 51:02.382
Okay.
51:04.884 --> 51:05.718
I get it.
51:08.805 --> 51:09.639
Look...
51:11.975 --> 51:14.143
you've always been really good
at giving advice,
51:15.562 --> 51:18.606
not so good at getting it,
and I think that is a virtue
51:20.316 --> 51:22.026
you need to pick up on
real fast.
52:03.401 --> 52:05.528
Keep your hands up. Pop!
52:05.653 --> 52:07.572
I don't wanna see you cry.
Don't flinch.
52:48.821 --> 52:49.989
Hey, honey.
52:51.366 --> 52:52.450
Hey, Mom.
52:54.077 --> 52:55.620
Hey, lookie there.
53:02.001 --> 53:03.044
Oh.
53:05.546 --> 53:07.840
He loved that scrapbook.
53:08.967 --> 53:11.636
I... I had no idea he had...
53:14.764 --> 53:16.683
- I found this.
- Mmm.
53:17.225 --> 53:18.267
That was his.
53:19.811 --> 53:20.895
Dad had a Bible?
53:21.020 --> 53:22.855
Mm-hmm. He did.
53:23.481 --> 53:25.066
Finally got to him, huh?
53:26.192 --> 53:28.194
Found a lot to help him
in here.
53:31.114 --> 53:34.450
It was tough watching you two,
those last few years.
53:35.576 --> 53:38.454
He wanted to talk to you,
you know, wanted it...
53:38.579 --> 53:40.999
more than practically anything.
53:41.124 --> 53:42.083
Yeah, well...
53:42.792 --> 53:44.711
he sure had a funny way
of showing it.
53:49.257 --> 53:51.259
I don't want for Eileen
to be standing
53:51.384 --> 53:52.677
where I am one day,
53:53.845 --> 53:56.264
hearing all that silence
and regret
53:57.849 --> 53:59.267
when there should be love.
54:05.023 --> 54:06.357
I'll see you inside.
54:23.958 --> 54:25.835
Let me see that
left hook. Come on, Mike!
54:30.882 --> 54:32.800
You're a runt, Mike.
54:32.925 --> 54:34.093
A little runt.
54:34.218 --> 54:35.803
Come on, son. Man up.
54:35.928 --> 54:37.555
- Take a few shots.
- I want you to hit me, Mike.
54:40.558 --> 54:41.893
Let me see that
left hook. Come on, Mike!
54:42.018 --> 54:43.561
Turns out,
you're still just a runt.
54:43.686 --> 54:45.396
You wanna play football
like your daddy, right?
54:45.521 --> 54:46.773
- Yes, Dad.
- Come on, Micah!
54:46.898 --> 54:47.982
You can do better than that.
54:48.107 --> 54:49.067
- I can't.
- Don't quit on me!
54:49.859 --> 54:51.069
- Come on.
- Hit me.
54:51.194 --> 54:52.570
- Hit me. Tougher.
- I can't.
54:52.695 --> 54:54.113
Come on, you got it.
Hit me harder.
54:54.238 --> 54:55.656
Keep going. Come on.
54:56.866 --> 54:58.910
Get mean, Micah.
Don't quit on me.
55:05.833 --> 55:08.753
Something happened
to my dad on that day.
55:12.924 --> 55:15.093
Hey there.
This is Micah Flynt.
55:15.218 --> 55:17.095
I'm not around.
Please leave a word.
55:17.220 --> 55:18.763
Hey, hoss man.
55:18.888 --> 55:20.348
Uh, it's Dad, uh...
55:20.473 --> 55:23.142
I was just thinking about you
and I wanted to say hi.
55:23.267 --> 55:24.519
Hope to hear from you.
55:25.645 --> 55:27.188
Maybe it was seeing
55:27.313 --> 55:29.482
his father's prayer
for forgiveness.
55:32.610 --> 55:34.237
Or maybe...
55:34.362 --> 55:36.447
...it was realizing
that he had become his father.
55:36.572 --> 55:38.157
Whip right, X42, drive.
55:38.282 --> 55:39.992
- Got it? Alright, go.
- Got it.
55:40.076 --> 55:41.119
Either way...
55:41.828 --> 55:43.913
- Let's go!
- ...at 59 years old,
55:44.914 --> 55:46.207
it's not every day
that you get
55:46.332 --> 55:47.708
a second chance at life.
55:48.209 --> 55:50.253
That's it, Jeremy!
55:50.378 --> 55:52.964
Whoo-hoo!
55:53.089 --> 55:54.590
Gotta let the kids score
every now and then
55:54.715 --> 55:56.050
'cause it's good
for their self-esteem.
55:56.175 --> 55:57.969
- Man, shut up.
- That's real generous. Right?
55:58.094 --> 55:59.470
You know what you doing.
55:59.595 --> 56:01.097
And Mike Flynt,
56:01.848 --> 56:03.558
well, he wasn't about
to waste it.
56:08.020 --> 56:09.564
- Dig, dig, dig, dig.
- Look at that, huh?
56:09.689 --> 56:11.065
- Yup.
- I'm gettin' it.
56:11.190 --> 56:12.400
They ain't ready
for this comeback.
56:17.989 --> 56:21.200
Yeah!
56:34.088 --> 56:35.173
Yeah.
56:42.889 --> 56:44.098
Yeah!
56:44.223 --> 56:45.266
Yeah!
56:49.395 --> 56:51.480
One, two, three, four!
56:53.107 --> 56:55.526
You remember what
the doctor said. No contact.
56:55.651 --> 56:57.737
We're gonna put you through
a few drills to evaluate you.
56:57.862 --> 56:59.322
- Yes, sir.
- Go get 'em, hoss.
57:01.699 --> 57:03.659
- Hey! What's up, old-timer?
- Hey.
57:03.784 --> 57:05.578
Hey, look, Mike's back!
57:07.705 --> 57:09.207
You the man, Mike!
57:09.332 --> 57:10.541
Set. Go.
57:12.960 --> 57:14.629
Ball. Nice.
57:14.754 --> 57:16.005
Dig, Mike. Dig, dig, dig.
57:16.130 --> 57:17.548
Come on, come on, come on!
Yeah!
57:20.968 --> 57:22.762
Heavy hands.
57:22.887 --> 57:24.096
Yeah.
57:42.240 --> 57:43.241
You okay?
57:43.366 --> 57:44.784
Sure.
57:44.909 --> 57:46.452
I can't tell which is better,
57:46.577 --> 57:48.329
the pain or the numbness.
57:48.496 --> 57:51.165
You know, uh, nobody here
will think any less of you
57:51.290 --> 57:52.458
if you take it a bit easy.
57:52.583 --> 57:54.293
Don't you start with me,
Jeremy.
57:55.211 --> 57:56.712
Hey, I'm just giving you
some love.
57:59.840 --> 58:01.509
Aw, you poor baby.
58:02.385 --> 58:03.678
Washed-up has-been.
58:03.803 --> 58:04.929
Hey!
58:05.054 --> 58:06.222
Disrespect Mike again,
58:06.806 --> 58:09.392
I'll rip your arm off
and I'll beat your ass with it.
58:09.517 --> 58:10.685
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
58:10.810 --> 58:12.395
- Yeah?
- That's right.
58:14.105 --> 58:16.440
That's it for the day.
Hit the showers!
58:16.565 --> 58:18.609
- Be seeing you.
- It's alright, Mike.
58:21.529 --> 58:22.363
Flynt.
58:27.243 --> 58:28.244
Yes, Coach?
58:30.079 --> 58:33.457
What-what is this beef between
you and Stanton, anyway?
58:33.582 --> 58:34.667
It's nothing, Coach.
58:35.501 --> 58:36.919
It's for us to resolve.
58:38.963 --> 58:40.298
Okay. Well, how you feelin'?
58:40.423 --> 58:42.216
- I'm great.
- Yeah. Hey.
58:43.467 --> 58:45.052
I'm giving you
the green light, Flynt.
58:46.804 --> 58:47.972
Not to play,
58:48.597 --> 58:50.641
but to travel with us
in full uniform.
58:51.350 --> 58:52.184
Thank you, Coach.
58:52.310 --> 58:53.436
Yeah. Alright.
58:53.936 --> 58:54.979
Alright. Get outta here.
58:58.107 --> 58:59.984
I thought about what
you asked me the other day,
59:00.484 --> 59:02.320
and you know, I think...
59:03.112 --> 59:05.072
the greatest
football movie ever?
59:05.197 --> 59:06.282
It's The Longest Yard.
59:06.782 --> 59:08.075
- Good one. Great one.
- Yeah.
59:08.200 --> 59:09.827
But you gotta check out
59:10.494 --> 59:11.787
North Dallas Forty.
59:12.330 --> 59:13.789
- North Dallas Forty?
- Yeah.
59:14.582 --> 59:17.293
I'll give it a try, bro.
I don't know, man.
59:17.418 --> 59:19.170
The Longest Yard...
59:19.295 --> 59:20.671
- ...that cracks me up, man.
- Yeah.
59:22.048 --> 59:23.341
Adam Sandler, man. He the man.
59:23.466 --> 59:25.259
Adam Sandler?
He wasn't even born
59:25.384 --> 59:26.427
when that movie was made.
59:26.552 --> 59:27.928
Burt Reynolds starred
in that movie.
59:28.054 --> 59:29.722
- He's the man.
- We need a trainer!
59:29.847 --> 59:32.099
- Doc! Get over here!
- It's Jamal!
59:32.224 --> 59:33.392
- Jamal!
- Trainer!
59:34.018 --> 59:36.354
Jamal!
59:36.479 --> 59:38.898
- Hey, hey, hey. Listen.
- Everybody, real slow.
59:39.023 --> 59:40.149
- You good?
- Real slow.
59:40.274 --> 59:41.776
Answer Doc's question.
59:46.405 --> 59:48.532
Ain't that crazy?
But with you out the game,
59:49.075 --> 59:51.494
guess who's gotta be the hero.
59:52.912 --> 59:55.081
- Hey, Mike.
- Hey. Hey, champ.
59:56.207 --> 59:58.209
Let's see if you can make
this man smile.
59:58.334 --> 59:59.168
Uh-oh.
01:00:01.754 --> 01:00:02.755
What's up?
01:00:04.715 --> 01:00:06.384
I'm sorry y'all came
all the way out here.
01:00:07.009 --> 01:00:08.010
Aw.
01:00:09.387 --> 01:00:11.055
Mike, you know
what they told me, man?
01:00:11.180 --> 01:00:13.599
They said I might never play
football again.
01:00:17.978 --> 01:00:19.980
I'm the first in my family
to go to college.
01:00:22.483 --> 01:00:23.526
I'm supposed to go pro.
01:00:23.651 --> 01:00:25.611
Well, you better go pro
01:00:25.736 --> 01:00:27.321
'cause you ain't making it
as a rapper.
01:00:27.446 --> 01:00:29.448
Yeah, I'll be taking over
that too.
01:00:31.033 --> 01:00:31.867
Hey, Jamal.
01:00:32.410 --> 01:00:34.662
Listen, going pro is
a long shot for anyone,
01:00:34.787 --> 01:00:37.039
but no one knows
whether you're gonna get out
01:00:37.164 --> 01:00:38.457
on that field again but you.
01:00:39.375 --> 01:00:40.626
You work hard,
01:00:40.751 --> 01:00:42.294
you'll get out there again.
01:00:42.420 --> 01:00:43.879
But how do you know that?
01:00:44.004 --> 01:00:45.714
Ever met a linebacker my age?
01:00:45.840 --> 01:00:47.466
I'm back on the field.
01:00:48.134 --> 01:00:49.760
And when you get out of here,
01:00:49.885 --> 01:00:52.304
I expect you to be out there
rooting for me, right?
01:00:52.430 --> 01:00:54.640
That first tackle,
it's gonna be for you.
01:00:56.267 --> 01:00:58.727
I pity the fool
that go against you, Mike.
01:01:03.065 --> 01:01:04.650
And here come the Lobos,
01:01:04.775 --> 01:01:08.654
and with them is 59-year-old
linebacker Mike Flynt,
01:01:08.779 --> 01:01:10.948
who has yet to make
an appearance this year,
01:01:11.073 --> 01:01:13.742
but is dressed
and finally cleared to play,
01:01:13.868 --> 01:01:16.620
which is likely why
this sold-out crowd
01:01:16.745 --> 01:01:18.038
is on their feet,
01:01:18.164 --> 01:01:20.249
hoping that today
will be the day.
01:01:20.374 --> 01:01:22.543
Let's go, boys!
Hey, Kyle. You got this, man.
01:01:22.668 --> 01:01:24.753
Braddick.
Shotgun snap. Drops back.
01:01:24.879 --> 01:01:26.172
Hey!
01:01:26.297 --> 01:01:27.298
- Oof.
- Incomplete.
01:01:27.423 --> 01:01:28.382
That's pass interference.
01:01:28.507 --> 01:01:29.842
It's way early.
01:01:29.967 --> 01:01:31.469
What the--
01:01:31.594 --> 01:01:33.095
Hey! Jeremy.
01:01:33.220 --> 01:01:34.889
Jeremy Cartwright
is not happy.
01:01:35.014 --> 01:01:36.265
- That's enough.
- No flag on the play.
01:01:36.390 --> 01:01:37.933
He's looking
for an interference call.
01:01:38.058 --> 01:01:39.018
Hey. Come on, Jeremy.
01:01:39.143 --> 01:01:41.061
- Mike! Mike!
- Come on now. I know.
01:01:41.187 --> 01:01:42.771
What is wrong with these guys?
01:01:42.897 --> 01:01:44.982
...looking for
anything on offense.
01:01:45.107 --> 01:01:46.859
Braddick under center.
He drops back.
01:01:47.985 --> 01:01:50.237
Gets flushed to his left,
sets his feet.
01:01:50.362 --> 01:01:51.572
Yeah, that's it! Good--
01:01:51.697 --> 01:01:54.241
Oh! Ref, come on!
Throw the flag!
01:01:54.366 --> 01:01:56.869
- That looked late to me.
- Come on, Ref!
01:01:56.994 --> 01:01:59.455
- You didn't see that?
- Refs, open your eyes!
01:01:59.580 --> 01:02:01.123
Stevie Wonder
could've seen that!
01:02:01.248 --> 01:02:02.875
The Lobos sideline
not happy.
01:02:03.000 --> 01:02:04.835
- No flag on the play.
- The play was dead!
01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:06.462
Hut! Go!
01:02:06.587 --> 01:02:07.963
Go, Jeremy. Go, Jeremy.
01:02:08.088 --> 01:02:09.381
He hurdles
a player.
01:02:09.507 --> 01:02:11.091
Makes room to the side. Oh!
01:02:11.217 --> 01:02:12.384
Oh my!
01:02:12.510 --> 01:02:15.095
That has got be
a personal foul.
01:02:15.221 --> 01:02:16.472
What is going on?
01:02:16.597 --> 01:02:17.848
You're not calling that?
01:02:17.973 --> 01:02:19.183
Are you kidding me right now?
01:02:19.308 --> 01:02:21.060
Come on now! He's three yards
out of bounds--
01:02:21.185 --> 01:02:23.479
Mike Flynt
has gone on the field
01:02:23.604 --> 01:02:25.814
- arguing for his teammate.
- We want Mike!
01:02:25.940 --> 01:02:27.441
We want Mike!
01:02:27.566 --> 01:02:29.109
We want Mike!
01:02:29.235 --> 01:02:30.694
We want Mike!
01:02:30.819 --> 01:02:33.113
We're starting
to hear from the stands...
01:02:33.239 --> 01:02:35.157
- We want Mike!
- ...calling for Mike Flynt
01:02:35.282 --> 01:02:36.534
to get into the game.
01:02:36.659 --> 01:02:39.662
We want Mike!
We want Mike!
01:02:39.828 --> 01:02:42.456
That was embarrassing!
I'll see y'all tomorrow,
01:02:42.581 --> 01:02:44.500
Sunday, 6:00 a.m. for doubles.
01:02:44.625 --> 01:02:45.918
And bring your running shoes
01:02:46.043 --> 01:02:47.670
'cause they are getting
a workout.
01:02:54.552 --> 01:02:55.427
Hey, Coach.
01:02:56.971 --> 01:02:57.888
Mrs. Flynt.
01:02:59.098 --> 01:03:00.599
The name's Eileen.
01:03:01.392 --> 01:03:02.518
Eileen.
01:03:04.645 --> 01:03:05.688
Tough game.
01:03:06.814 --> 01:03:07.731
Yeah.
01:03:08.899 --> 01:03:11.026
You should've played him today.
01:03:11.610 --> 01:03:12.695
You know what?
01:03:12.820 --> 01:03:15.072
When I go in
to have my patience tested,
01:03:15.197 --> 01:03:17.575
the results
are always negative.
01:03:18.701 --> 01:03:19.702
That's funny.
01:03:19.827 --> 01:03:21.453
Yeah. I'll be here all week.
01:03:23.163 --> 01:03:24.498
Have a good night, Mrs. Flynt.
01:03:35.801 --> 01:03:37.219
What was that all about?
01:03:37.344 --> 01:03:39.096
I'm fine, thank you.
How are you?
01:03:39.221 --> 01:03:40.889
Just get in the car, Eileen.
01:03:41.015 --> 01:03:41.932
Pardon me?
01:03:42.850 --> 01:03:44.101
I said get in the car.
01:03:44.226 --> 01:03:45.144
Let's go.
01:03:45.811 --> 01:03:47.021
Oh, no.
01:03:47.146 --> 01:03:49.398
You can talk to the refs
that way. Not me.
01:03:49.523 --> 01:03:51.275
Come on, Eileen.
I'm just not in the mood.
01:03:51.775 --> 01:03:52.610
Oh, really?
01:03:53.611 --> 01:03:55.070
Well, I'm not getting
in the car with you
01:03:55.195 --> 01:03:56.572
when you're like that.
01:03:56.697 --> 01:03:59.116
Fine, then you drive
yourself home.
01:04:06.665 --> 01:04:07.541
Really?
01:04:13.088 --> 01:04:14.214
You're just gonna go?
01:04:17.009 --> 01:04:18.093
Eileen!
01:04:26.685 --> 01:04:27.645
Mike...
01:04:30.230 --> 01:04:31.690
Stupid hothead.
01:04:36.403 --> 01:04:37.321
- Hey.
- Hey.
01:04:38.739 --> 01:04:39.573
Hey.
01:04:41.617 --> 01:04:43.160
They should have played you
tonight, Mike.
01:04:44.244 --> 01:04:45.162
Yeah.
01:04:49.541 --> 01:04:52.169
Thanks for the ride, Jeremy.
01:04:52.294 --> 01:04:54.296
I was proud of you today.
01:04:54.421 --> 01:04:56.840
- Thanks. Have a good night.
- Yeah.
01:05:10.813 --> 01:05:11.980
Eileen?
01:05:50.310 --> 01:05:52.020
Yeah, they finally came.
01:05:53.272 --> 01:05:54.690
For the game.
01:05:54.815 --> 01:05:56.108
Wanted to surprise you.
01:06:01.029 --> 01:06:02.906
I'm sorry I yelled at you.
01:06:03.824 --> 01:06:05.200
Thank you.
01:06:05.325 --> 01:06:07.202
Honestly, Eileen--
01:06:07.327 --> 01:06:10.956
You never once asked me
if this lunatic mission
01:06:11.081 --> 01:06:12.416
you're on was okay with me.
01:06:12.541 --> 01:06:15.085
- Of course, I did.
- No, that is a load of bull!
01:06:15.961 --> 01:06:18.005
You made a decision.
You're good at that.
01:06:18.130 --> 01:06:20.048
You made a decision
and we all have to follow you
01:06:20.174 --> 01:06:22.301
no matter
what the ramifications.
01:06:22.426 --> 01:06:24.219
And they can be pretty severe.
01:06:24.344 --> 01:06:26.430
- I'm sorry, babe.
- No, listen.
01:06:28.015 --> 01:06:29.308
Listen to me.
01:06:33.228 --> 01:06:37.524
Because, believe it or not,
tonight, I almost left you.
01:06:37.649 --> 01:06:41.445
I got in that truck
and I just drove.
01:06:41.570 --> 01:06:44.740
Then I thought about it,
and I'm a West Texas girl.
01:06:44.865 --> 01:06:47.701
I don't turn tail,
so I came back.
01:06:48.619 --> 01:06:50.454
Because I made a decision
of my own.
01:06:53.707 --> 01:06:56.794
I'm with you on this.
01:06:58.212 --> 01:07:01.131
I know why you have to do this
01:07:01.256 --> 01:07:03.050
and if Coach puts you
in that game,
01:07:03.175 --> 01:07:07.012
and we both know that's
a big if, I'm with you
01:07:08.597 --> 01:07:11.391
with all my heart
and sincerity.
01:07:13.685 --> 01:07:15.646
On three conditions.
01:07:16.814 --> 01:07:18.774
First:
01:07:20.484 --> 01:07:22.361
you don't ever make a decision
01:07:22.486 --> 01:07:25.572
that affects all of us
without asking me,
01:07:25.697 --> 01:07:27.950
not telling, asking me first.
01:07:29.660 --> 01:07:32.287
And two: you continue
to suit up
01:07:32.412 --> 01:07:35.916
and pray to God
that you finish this season
01:07:36.041 --> 01:07:38.418
because if you don't,
you are not gonna be able
01:07:38.544 --> 01:07:40.796
to live with yourself
and then none of us can.
01:07:42.923 --> 01:07:44.299
And the third?
01:07:46.844 --> 01:07:48.095
Promise me...
01:07:49.972 --> 01:07:52.266
you promise me...
01:07:52.391 --> 01:07:55.018
...that you're not gonna do
anything out on that field
01:07:55.143 --> 01:07:56.770
that you are not certain
that you can do.
01:07:56.895 --> 01:07:59.189
What? I can do it all.
01:07:59.314 --> 01:08:02.067
- No, you cannot do it all.
- I swear I can.
01:08:02.192 --> 01:08:05.696
You cannot,
you stubborn old man.
01:08:05.821 --> 01:08:07.197
Now promise me.
01:08:09.032 --> 01:08:10.659
Because that...
01:08:11.869 --> 01:08:13.287
I believe in.
01:08:14.246 --> 01:08:15.914
Your promises.
01:08:21.545 --> 01:08:23.255
I promise.
01:08:29.136 --> 01:08:31.555
Oh, good, Mike.
You're still here. Thank you.
01:08:31.680 --> 01:08:33.223
Sorry I'm late. No, no. Sit.
01:08:33.348 --> 01:08:34.600
I was
at the chancellor's office.
01:08:34.725 --> 01:08:39.354
It seems that Fernie
is, uh, failing philosophy.
01:08:40.480 --> 01:08:43.066
Yeah, a class that I think
even Plato would agree
01:08:43.191 --> 01:08:46.445
he, uh, does not need
and should not have taken.
01:08:46.570 --> 01:08:50.991
Uh... But you,
how are you feelin'?
01:08:51.116 --> 01:08:53.076
- Great.
- Mm-hmm.
01:08:53.201 --> 01:08:54.870
You'd say that
even if you weren't.
01:08:56.413 --> 01:09:00.500
Now, Mike, you know
Kevin Everett, right?
01:09:00.626 --> 01:09:01.710
Tight end for the Bills.
01:09:01.835 --> 01:09:03.837
That's right.
For the Bills. Yeah.
01:09:03.962 --> 01:09:05.213
And did you see that game?
01:09:06.715 --> 01:09:07.883
I did, sir.
01:09:08.008 --> 01:09:10.052
He fractured his spine
right on that field.
01:09:12.012 --> 01:09:16.516
Laying there, only thing
he could move was his eyeballs.
01:09:18.602 --> 01:09:19.645
Mike...
01:09:21.229 --> 01:09:23.148
if something were to happen
to you, if you got hurt,
01:09:24.733 --> 01:09:27.903
it would destroy every soul
on this team forever.
01:09:29.655 --> 01:09:32.157
You know that.
They'd never be the same.
01:09:32.282 --> 01:09:35.911
And it would
destroy mine as well.
01:09:41.166 --> 01:09:42.334
Yes, sir.
01:09:42.459 --> 01:09:44.586
There's one game left
in the season, Mike.
01:09:44.711 --> 01:09:49.007
So, tell me, what can you do?
01:09:53.095 --> 01:09:54.346
Uh...
01:09:56.139 --> 01:09:58.767
I can be your blocking back
for your field goal team.
01:09:58.892 --> 01:10:00.852
Last game you had two
field goals blocked.
01:10:00.978 --> 01:10:04.231
No one's gonna run over me.
I guarantee you that.
01:10:07.359 --> 01:10:08.568
Hmm.
01:10:11.196 --> 01:10:12.114
Okay.
01:10:14.533 --> 01:10:15.534
Okay?
01:10:20.247 --> 01:10:22.332
Brought your water bottle.
01:10:22.457 --> 01:10:24.876
Thanks, darlin'.
01:10:25.002 --> 01:10:26.294
What's this?
01:10:31.341 --> 01:10:33.760
I didn't know your daddy
had a Bible.
01:10:34.720 --> 01:10:37.556
Mama gave it to me
the last time I was there.
01:10:37.681 --> 01:10:40.142
Who would've thought, huh?
01:10:52.779 --> 01:10:53.697
Micah?
01:10:55.115 --> 01:10:55.949
Micah!
01:10:57.576 --> 01:10:59.369
Mom, what... what happened?
01:10:59.536 --> 01:11:01.329
No, nothing. Nothing happened.
01:11:01.455 --> 01:11:03.707
I just wanted to come ask you
for a favor.
01:11:03.832 --> 01:11:08.795
I know that you and your father
haven't spoken in some time
01:11:08.920 --> 01:11:11.923
and the trainers have cleared
him to play tomorrow
01:11:12.049 --> 01:11:15.761
and I think you should be
at the game and watch.
01:11:15.886 --> 01:11:17.929
I don't wanna watch him
break his neck.
01:11:18.055 --> 01:11:19.556
He won't.
01:11:19.681 --> 01:11:21.516
- He made me a promise.
- A promise?
01:11:21.641 --> 01:11:23.060
Mm-hmm.
01:11:23.185 --> 01:11:25.979
The Mike Flynt Reunion Tour,
it's...
01:11:27.064 --> 01:11:28.523
might be the most selfish
thing I've ever seen.
01:11:28.648 --> 01:11:32.444
No, it isn't about him
being selfish, honey, it's...
01:11:34.154 --> 01:11:34.988
It's about regret.
01:11:35.113 --> 01:11:36.364
Regret for what?
01:11:36.490 --> 01:11:38.200
About all sorts of things,
Micah.
01:11:39.534 --> 01:11:41.161
Him and his dad.
01:11:41.286 --> 01:11:42.996
- Him and football.
- Mm.
01:11:43.747 --> 01:11:45.624
Him and you.
01:11:45.749 --> 01:11:49.586
He has a chance
to redo his senior year
01:11:49.711 --> 01:11:53.006
and it's a chance to let go
of that regret,
01:11:53.131 --> 01:11:54.800
and maybe if he
lets go of that regret,
01:11:54.925 --> 01:11:57.427
he'll start to be able
to let go of the other ones.
01:11:57.552 --> 01:11:59.513
He wants to be a better man.
01:12:00.680 --> 01:12:02.474
Better father most of all.
01:12:03.266 --> 01:12:04.976
I'm 27 years old.
01:12:06.144 --> 01:12:07.646
It's a little late.
01:12:07.771 --> 01:12:09.397
And he wants me to forgive him
01:12:09.523 --> 01:12:11.608
for being the father
he's always been now?
01:12:11.733 --> 01:12:13.193
I know, I get that.
01:12:13.902 --> 01:12:16.530
And I do not blame you
for being frustrated.
01:12:16.655 --> 01:12:18.365
He's never said sorry to me,
01:12:19.449 --> 01:12:22.452
not once, about anything.
01:12:22.577 --> 01:12:24.538
- He wasn't brought up that way.
- Yeah, neither--
01:12:27.082 --> 01:12:28.542
Neither was I.
01:12:30.502 --> 01:12:32.546
This game tomorrow,
01:12:34.047 --> 01:12:36.883
it's a second chance, Micah.
01:12:39.845 --> 01:12:42.430
I just think it would mean
a lot to him.
01:12:43.557 --> 01:12:44.933
He's my father.
01:12:47.394 --> 01:12:51.106
It's not my job
to heal him of his sins.
01:12:56.695 --> 01:12:59.281
Fifty-nine-year-old Mike Flynt
made national headlines
01:12:59.406 --> 01:13:02.576
walking on the team at Sul Ross
State in Alpine, Texas.
01:13:02.701 --> 01:13:05.412
A quest that began
some 35 years ago ends
01:13:05.537 --> 01:13:07.581
in the season finale
on Senior Day.
01:13:08.498 --> 01:13:10.417
Mike, how does it feel to be
back on the gridiron?
01:13:10.542 --> 01:13:13.962
It's a dream, a dream
I've had for a long time.
01:13:14.087 --> 01:13:17.424
Now, almost four decades later,
the Division III college
01:13:17.549 --> 01:13:19.676
and the current head coach
are giving him another chance.
01:13:19.801 --> 01:13:21.344
The question
the entire nation
01:13:21.469 --> 01:13:22.679
is asking themselves,
01:13:22.804 --> 01:13:24.556
is tonight the night
01:13:24.681 --> 01:13:26.558
that Mike Flynt will finally
get a chance
01:13:26.683 --> 01:13:29.644
to secure his name
in the history books?
01:13:29.769 --> 01:13:31.605
It's a beautiful
night here at Jackson Field,
01:13:31.730 --> 01:13:34.941
the final game of the season
where the Sul Ross Lobos,
01:13:35.066 --> 01:13:37.444
5-5, take on their rivals,
01:13:37.569 --> 01:13:39.738
the 10-0
Texas Lutheran Bulldogs.
01:13:39.863 --> 01:13:41.031
It's a sold-out crowd
01:13:41.156 --> 01:13:43.533
where everyone has come
to see Mike Flynt,
01:13:43.658 --> 01:13:45.076
the 59-year-old linebacker
01:13:45.202 --> 01:13:47.287
who has been plagued
with injuries all season.
01:13:47.412 --> 01:13:51.458
And now
the 2007 Sul Ross Lobos.
01:13:51.583 --> 01:13:53.126
And if
Mike Flynt plays tonight,
01:13:53.251 --> 01:13:55.295
he will be the oldest
college football player
01:13:55.420 --> 01:13:56.963
to ever step on the gridiron.
01:13:57.088 --> 01:14:00.967
Buckle your seat belts.
This should be a good one.
01:14:02.344 --> 01:14:04.262
5:43 left
in the first quarter.
01:14:04.387 --> 01:14:06.223
Tight left. Ready!
01:14:06.348 --> 01:14:08.308
Still 0-0.
01:14:09.351 --> 01:14:11.144
The Lobos offense
backed up again,
01:14:11.269 --> 01:14:12.520
deep in their own territory.
01:14:12.646 --> 01:14:14.731
Watch that tight.
Watch that tight.
01:14:15.815 --> 01:14:18.276
Come on now, Cap!
Here you go, Kyle!
01:14:18.401 --> 01:14:19.486
Kyle Braddick under center.
01:14:19.611 --> 01:14:21.154
Green 18.
01:14:21.279 --> 01:14:23.031
That Bulldogs
defense shifting.
01:14:25.325 --> 01:14:28.370
Ooh! Big hit!
And Willie Simmons...
01:14:28.495 --> 01:14:29.663
It's alright, Kyle!
01:14:29.788 --> 01:14:31.331
...with a huge hit
on Braddick,
01:14:31.456 --> 01:14:33.500
his third sack of the night.
01:14:33.625 --> 01:14:35.961
The Bulldogs'
All-American linebacker.
01:14:36.086 --> 01:14:37.170
Let's go!
01:14:37.295 --> 01:14:38.797
It's alright! It's alright!
01:14:38.922 --> 01:14:41.591
That will
bring up a big third down
01:14:41.716 --> 01:14:43.051
and long.
01:14:44.594 --> 01:14:46.179
Braddick, back under center.
01:14:46.304 --> 01:14:48.056
Gonna send a man
over in motion.
01:14:48.181 --> 01:14:49.975
Left side, drops back.
01:14:50.100 --> 01:14:51.643
From the center...
01:14:51.768 --> 01:14:55.689
Picked off. That's Reefer,
free safety for the Bulldogs.
01:14:56.731 --> 01:14:59.276
Down near the sideline,
cuts back at the 10,
01:14:59.401 --> 01:15:00.986
into the end zone.
01:15:01.111 --> 01:15:02.862
Touchdown, Texas Lutheran.
01:15:04.781 --> 01:15:06.449
Just like that, the Bulldogs
01:15:06.574 --> 01:15:08.368
get on the board first
with a pick six.
01:15:08.493 --> 01:15:10.829
Braddick was looking
for Jeremy Cartwright
01:15:10.954 --> 01:15:12.372
who is five catches away
01:15:12.497 --> 01:15:14.457
from the school record
of 80 receptions.
01:15:14.582 --> 01:15:19.045
Easier said than done going
against this Bulldog defense.
01:15:22.716 --> 01:15:24.968
1:45 left to go
in the first half.
01:15:25.093 --> 01:15:27.470
Bulldogs still up 7-0.
01:15:27.595 --> 01:15:29.264
And if this Lobo offense
01:15:29.389 --> 01:15:32.309
can't find a way to score or
get into field goal territory,
01:15:32.434 --> 01:15:36.271
this sold-out crowd
may not get to see Mike Flynt
01:15:36.396 --> 01:15:38.023
get into the final game
of the season.
01:15:38.148 --> 01:15:39.566
You got this, men. Let's go.
01:15:40.608 --> 01:15:41.776
Here's the snap.
01:15:43.278 --> 01:15:45.905
Jeremy Cartwright,
he makes a move inside.
01:15:46.031 --> 01:15:47.324
Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball!
01:15:47.449 --> 01:15:49.159
It's loose!
Scramble for the ball.
01:15:52.162 --> 01:15:53.621
That's Lobos'! That's Lobos'!
01:15:53.747 --> 01:15:56.791
That's Lobos' ball!
That's Lobos' ball! Lobos!
01:15:57.459 --> 01:15:59.461
The Bulldogs have it!
01:16:01.004 --> 01:16:03.131
With 1:25
left in the first half,
01:16:03.256 --> 01:16:05.050
you've gotta wonder,
is time running out
01:16:05.175 --> 01:16:07.469
for Mike Flynt
and this Lobo team?
01:16:07.594 --> 01:16:10.513
Is that ball broken?
You don't like it? Forget it.
01:16:10.638 --> 01:16:12.515
Get out of my sight.
Get out of my sight.
01:16:12.640 --> 01:16:15.393
Hey, we're still in this!
We're still in this!
01:16:15.518 --> 01:16:17.771
1:25 to go
in the first half.
01:16:17.896 --> 01:16:19.314
You get the feeling
that Hot Rod Harrison
01:16:19.439 --> 01:16:20.774
won't waste this opportunity.
01:16:20.899 --> 01:16:23.693
Shotgun snap. Harrison looking
down the middle.
01:16:25.070 --> 01:16:26.821
Caught at the 25.
01:16:26.946 --> 01:16:30.992
Inside the 20. Down
to the Lobos' 18-yard line.
01:16:31.117 --> 01:16:33.078
Harrison's gonna hurry up
to the line of scrimmage,
01:16:33.203 --> 01:16:34.704
working with three
wide receivers.
01:16:34.829 --> 01:16:37.082
24. Watch 33! Watch 33!
01:16:37.207 --> 01:16:39.209
- Cover two, cover two.
- Fernie Acosta trying
01:16:39.334 --> 01:16:41.628
desperately to get
his Lobo defense lined up.
01:16:41.753 --> 01:16:43.713
Harrison has been
all over the field tonight.
01:16:43.838 --> 01:16:45.173
Quarterback draw.
Up the middle.
01:16:45.298 --> 01:16:46.758
Gets one block.
Spinning at the ten.
01:16:46.883 --> 01:16:48.301
Leaping at the five.
01:16:48.426 --> 01:16:49.677
Into the end zone.
01:16:49.803 --> 01:16:52.055
Touchdown, Bulldogs.
01:16:52.180 --> 01:16:54.099
- Hot Rod Harrison.
- Oh man!
01:16:55.475 --> 01:16:57.310
And that
will end the first half.
01:16:57.435 --> 01:17:02.065
The Texas Lutheran Bulldogs
dominating, up 14-0.
01:17:02.190 --> 01:17:05.193
And after a journey that has
taken nearly 30 years,
01:17:05.318 --> 01:17:07.487
the senior, Mike Flynt,
finds himself
01:17:07.612 --> 01:17:09.823
with only one half
a football left
01:17:09.948 --> 01:17:11.658
before the clock
strikes midnight.
01:17:11.783 --> 01:17:12.867
Hey, Flynt.
01:17:13.743 --> 01:17:15.745
Listen, uh, I'm gonna need
your help.
01:17:15.870 --> 01:17:17.539
Alright? Just follow my lead.
01:17:17.664 --> 01:17:19.666
- Yes, sir.
- Alright.
01:17:34.806 --> 01:17:37.350
Y'all just quit on me!
01:17:39.769 --> 01:17:43.731
In front of the entire country,
you quit!
01:17:44.816 --> 01:17:47.152
It is the final game
of the season,
01:17:47.277 --> 01:17:50.447
the last game some
of you will ever play!
01:17:51.573 --> 01:17:55.577
Are you gonna play this game or
are you gonna lay down and die?
01:17:55.702 --> 01:17:56.786
Hm?
01:17:58.413 --> 01:18:00.457
Let me know what you decide
01:18:00.582 --> 01:18:03.251
'cause I am leaving here
until you figure it out.
01:18:03.376 --> 01:18:05.128
Coaches, let's go.
01:18:11.676 --> 01:18:13.219
Leave these boys to it.
01:18:26.774 --> 01:18:28.067
You know...
01:18:30.195 --> 01:18:32.197
Damn it, guys, I feel beat up.
01:18:33.239 --> 01:18:35.116
I've spent the last few months
01:18:35.241 --> 01:18:38.077
just getting the crap
kicked out of me.
01:18:38.203 --> 01:18:41.456
Sometimes-- No, not sometimes,
pretty much all the time,
01:18:41.581 --> 01:18:42.832
I just wanna say I'm done.
01:18:42.957 --> 01:18:45.210
I'm done with the pain.
01:18:45.335 --> 01:18:47.170
I'm done with the achin' bones.
01:18:47.295 --> 01:18:49.464
I'm done with the torn muscles.
01:18:52.342 --> 01:18:54.511
But you know,
01:18:54.636 --> 01:18:57.680
every day, there's
this five-minute span of time
01:18:59.057 --> 01:19:02.310
where I tell myself
it's worth it.
01:19:05.605 --> 01:19:06.940
It's worth it.
01:19:09.442 --> 01:19:12.946
And it's in that five minutes I
remember why I came back here.
01:19:13.071 --> 01:19:15.365
It has nothing to do with ego,
boys.
01:19:15.490 --> 01:19:17.492
It has nothing to do
with how badly I botched
01:19:17.617 --> 01:19:20.370
my senior season back in 1971,
01:19:20.495 --> 01:19:22.288
which, by the way,
was so long ago,
01:19:22.413 --> 01:19:26.000
your parents were young enough
to be watching Big Bird on PBS.
01:19:29.254 --> 01:19:34.926
That five minutes
is about this right here.
01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:38.846
Us, a team.
01:19:39.931 --> 01:19:42.517
I came back here
to be on a team
01:19:42.642 --> 01:19:45.061
because there ain't nothing
better than being on a team.
01:19:46.187 --> 01:19:48.022
I came back here
01:19:48.147 --> 01:19:51.025
to be with you all before
I even knew who you all were.
01:19:53.069 --> 01:19:54.946
I came back
to cheer for you, Jeremy,
01:19:55.071 --> 01:19:58.116
when you make your 80th catch
of the season for a TD
01:19:58.241 --> 01:19:59.993
which you have yet to do
but you will do
01:20:00.118 --> 01:20:01.786
when you get back
out there tonight.
01:20:04.247 --> 01:20:07.542
I came here to see you make
those 25 tackles, Fern-man.
01:20:07.667 --> 01:20:09.294
- Huh?
- Yes, sir.
01:20:11.879 --> 01:20:14.215
I came to look you
in the face, Kyle,
01:20:14.340 --> 01:20:17.385
and wonder how a man
who gets sacked so often
01:20:17.510 --> 01:20:18.803
can still look so pretty.
01:20:23.349 --> 01:20:25.685
I even came back for you,
Stanton.
01:20:26.561 --> 01:20:29.522
Because five, ten,
20 years from now,
01:20:29.647 --> 01:20:32.358
you're gonna forget any beef
you and I had between us
01:20:32.483 --> 01:20:36.404
but what you will remember
is that we fought side by side.
01:20:40.992 --> 01:20:43.703
There's one thing
that I've learned
01:20:44.871 --> 01:20:49.709
in my sometimes glorious,
sometimes miserable life,
01:20:50.627 --> 01:20:52.211
and that's...
01:20:53.755 --> 01:20:56.132
...we're not defined
by our successes.
01:20:58.051 --> 01:20:59.886
We're defined by our regrets.
01:21:00.845 --> 01:21:02.180
And I've had a ton of them.
01:21:03.139 --> 01:21:04.307
As a teammate,
01:21:06.392 --> 01:21:07.310
as a husband,
01:21:08.686 --> 01:21:09.854
as a dad.
01:21:12.315 --> 01:21:13.566
Hell, you boys,
01:21:15.193 --> 01:21:17.487
you're too young
to have any regrets yet,
01:21:17.612 --> 01:21:19.280
ones that really matter anyway.
01:21:21.824 --> 01:21:24.452
So don't let tonight
be that first regret.
01:21:25.370 --> 01:21:27.372
Don't let tonight be the night
that you regret
01:21:27.497 --> 01:21:29.499
for not being there
for your brothers.
01:21:31.000 --> 01:21:33.086
When I come back
in this locker room,
01:21:33.211 --> 01:21:36.172
after the game,
I will be an empty shell,
01:21:36.297 --> 01:21:38.383
because my very soul,
my spirit,
01:21:38.508 --> 01:21:40.259
will be left on that field.
01:21:41.427 --> 01:21:43.554
Now, forget about making
this a game
01:21:43.680 --> 01:21:45.515
that we'll always remember.
01:21:45.640 --> 01:21:48.810
Let's make this a game
they'll always remember.
01:21:50.603 --> 01:21:52.689
Let's make this game
their regret.
01:21:54.315 --> 01:21:57.068
Okay, let's go! Let's go!
01:21:59.153 --> 01:22:01.322
Hey yo!
01:22:01.447 --> 01:22:04.450
They're gonna know our name.
They're gonna feel our pain.
01:22:04.575 --> 01:22:05.910
'Cause that's the name
of the game.
01:22:06.035 --> 01:22:07.328
That's the price of fame.
01:22:07.453 --> 01:22:09.539
We're here to make war,
not settle the score.
01:22:09.706 --> 01:22:10.707
So we're gonna do it for Mike
01:22:10.832 --> 01:22:11.999
and we're gonna do it tonight!
01:22:12.125 --> 01:22:13.251
They're gonna know our name!
01:22:13.376 --> 01:22:14.544
They're gonna feel our pain!
01:22:14.669 --> 01:22:15.837
They're gonna
know our name!
01:22:15.962 --> 01:22:17.213
They're gonna feel our pain!
01:22:17.338 --> 01:22:18.506
They're gonna know our name!
01:22:18.631 --> 01:22:19.716
They're gonna feel our pain!
01:22:19.841 --> 01:22:20.800
We're doing it for the old man!
01:22:32.854 --> 01:22:34.981
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
01:22:35.106 --> 01:22:36.733
- You ready for this, old man?
- I'm ready.
01:22:36.858 --> 01:22:38.609
- Watch this.
- I'm watching you.
01:22:38.735 --> 01:22:40.695
- Let's go! Come on!
- Go, J!
01:22:40.820 --> 01:22:42.822
You need an invitation? Go!
01:22:42.947 --> 01:22:45.199
Bulldogs set to kick off.
01:22:49.620 --> 01:22:51.789
Jeremy Cartwright
takes it at the goal line.
01:22:51.914 --> 01:22:53.958
He's at the five.
Gets a block.
01:22:54.083 --> 01:22:56.252
He's at the 10. To the 15!
01:22:56.377 --> 01:22:57.336
To the 20!
01:22:59.839 --> 01:23:00.965
Go, Jeremy, go!
01:23:01.090 --> 01:23:01.966
To the 30!
01:23:02.884 --> 01:23:04.093
Jeremy Cartwright
01:23:04.218 --> 01:23:06.971
returns the opening
second half kickoff!
01:23:07.096 --> 01:23:08.723
A hundred yards!
01:23:09.557 --> 01:23:10.808
Are you kidding me?
01:23:10.933 --> 01:23:12.769
- Know my name!
- PAT! PAT!
01:23:12.894 --> 01:23:14.520
And looking
towards the sideline,
01:23:14.645 --> 01:23:16.189
- this might be it.
- Hey!
01:23:16.314 --> 01:23:18.024
That's you, Flynt.
01:23:18.149 --> 01:23:19.692
Come on. This is your time.
Go, go, go!
01:23:19.817 --> 01:23:21.694
Yup.
Here he comes. Mike Flynt.
01:23:22.153 --> 01:23:24.947
And everybody's
on their feet here tonight.
01:23:25.072 --> 01:23:27.200
Mike! Mike! Mike!
01:23:27.325 --> 01:23:29.076
This is all for you, Mike!
01:23:30.244 --> 01:23:32.079
The 59-year-old linebacker
01:23:32.205 --> 01:23:34.248
who sacrificed so much
to get here.
01:23:34.373 --> 01:23:36.501
Now my being here
finally means something.
01:23:36.626 --> 01:23:38.294
It already has, brother.
It already has.
01:23:38.419 --> 01:23:39.670
You go!
01:23:46.886 --> 01:23:48.179
Here we go!
01:23:48.304 --> 01:23:49.138
Mike Flynt,
01:23:49.263 --> 01:23:51.599
who's battled injuries
all season,
01:23:51.724 --> 01:23:53.893
is gonna be
the oldest football player
01:23:54.018 --> 01:23:55.770
to ever step on the gridiron.
01:23:57.104 --> 01:23:59.190
Nice of you to join us.
01:23:59.315 --> 01:24:00.733
Thought maybe you'd
change your mind.
01:24:00.858 --> 01:24:02.109
Not a chance.
01:24:04.612 --> 01:24:06.030
Mike, do not let him inside.
01:24:06.155 --> 01:24:08.199
I'm coming for you, old man.
You best dig in
01:24:08.324 --> 01:24:09.992
or get out the way.
01:24:11.744 --> 01:24:13.579
The Lobos
have struggled protecting
01:24:13.704 --> 01:24:16.457
this year. They've had
two field goals blocked.
01:24:19.210 --> 01:24:20.586
Kick is up.
01:24:20.711 --> 01:24:21.963
And good!
01:24:22.088 --> 01:24:24.841
It's seven on the board
for the Lobos.
01:24:24.966 --> 01:24:26.217
14-7 is the ballgame.
01:24:26.342 --> 01:24:27.844
Nice hit, kid.
01:24:29.136 --> 01:24:31.055
Mike Flynt
going toe-to-toe
01:24:31.180 --> 01:24:34.016
with Bulldogs' All-Conference
linebacker Willie Simmons.
01:24:35.393 --> 01:24:38.855
Thirty years later and
this guy is still all fight.
01:24:40.064 --> 01:24:43.484
And all of a sudden, folks,
we got ourselves a ballgame.
01:24:44.360 --> 01:24:47.280
Out route on the play.
Big hit by the Lobos!
01:24:48.906 --> 01:24:51.033
Here's Braddick, back in
the pocket, throwing right.
01:24:51.158 --> 01:24:53.953
Sacked one more time!
01:24:54.829 --> 01:24:56.414
I'm here all day!
01:24:56.539 --> 01:24:58.833
Big drop by
Braddick, into the end zone.
01:24:58.958 --> 01:25:01.294
Incomplete! And nobody can put
points on the board.
01:25:01.419 --> 01:25:03.754
Braddick in the red zone,
crossing route.
01:25:03.880 --> 01:25:05.256
Caught. Run out of bounds.
01:25:05.381 --> 01:25:06.674
- Beautiful!
- Yeah!
01:25:06.799 --> 01:25:08.175
Despite the Lobos
01:25:08.301 --> 01:25:09.218
putting seven on the board,
01:25:09.343 --> 01:25:11.178
it's a defensive struggle.
01:25:11.304 --> 01:25:12.972
Nobody giving an inch.
01:25:22.899 --> 01:25:24.775
Braddick again
in the pocket.
01:25:24.901 --> 01:25:27.486
He's taken to the turf.
Oh! Did you see that?
01:25:27.612 --> 01:25:29.906
How is Braddick getting up
from these hits tonight?
01:25:31.949 --> 01:25:33.200
Keep going!
01:25:33.326 --> 01:25:35.077
It's alright, Cappy!
You got it!
01:25:35.202 --> 01:25:37.330
Two heavyweights
going at it here tonight.
01:25:37.455 --> 01:25:39.415
Nobody giving an inch.
01:25:39.540 --> 01:25:41.792
The Bulldogs back to work
on offense.
01:25:41.918 --> 01:25:43.878
Trying a specialty play,
reverse near side--
01:25:44.003 --> 01:25:45.922
Oh! Big hit by the Lobos!
01:25:47.423 --> 01:25:48.758
- Alright! Now we're rolling!
- That's it!
01:25:48.883 --> 01:25:50.134
Yeah! We're in this!
We're in this!
01:25:50.259 --> 01:25:51.802
Lobos put
seven on the board
01:25:51.928 --> 01:25:54.347
but they still trail by seven.
01:25:54.472 --> 01:25:57.683
It's 14-7 Bulldogs in
this physical football game.
01:25:59.018 --> 01:25:59.977
Blown up on the play!
01:26:01.771 --> 01:26:04.190
The Lobos hit them
in the backfield.
01:26:05.566 --> 01:26:07.109
Chains. Let's go.
01:26:07.234 --> 01:26:09.278
They're gonna
bring the chains out.
01:26:12.823 --> 01:26:14.408
I don't think he's got it.
01:26:14.533 --> 01:26:16.369
Could be
a fourth down and...
01:26:16.494 --> 01:26:18.996
- Yeah, he's short.
- Bulldogs are just short.
01:26:19.121 --> 01:26:21.707
They've got a big decision
to make here.
01:26:22.625 --> 01:26:24.377
And look who's coming
on the field.
01:26:24.502 --> 01:26:26.671
Quarterback Hot Rod Harrison.
01:26:26.796 --> 01:26:29.006
Back on the field.
Bulldogs are gonna go for it.
01:26:29.131 --> 01:26:31.634
Oh! You've got to be
kidding me.
01:26:31.759 --> 01:26:33.094
Five-two stack.
01:26:33.219 --> 01:26:34.720
Hey, hey. Fern-man. Fern-man.
01:26:34.845 --> 01:26:36.597
Listen, this guy's hard
to bring down.
01:26:36.722 --> 01:26:38.015
You gotta wrap him up
around the legs,
01:26:38.140 --> 01:26:39.642
drive until he goes down.
Got it?
01:26:39.767 --> 01:26:41.769
- Yes, sir.
- Hey, believe it.
01:26:41.894 --> 01:26:43.270
Yes, sir.
01:26:44.021 --> 01:26:46.232
If the Bulldogs
pick up the first down here,
01:26:46.357 --> 01:26:49.777
they will run out the clock
and take away any hope
01:26:49.902 --> 01:26:51.153
of a Lobos winning season.
01:26:51.278 --> 01:26:53.155
Everything we trained for
right here.
01:26:53.280 --> 01:26:55.282
Five-two stack.
Five-two stack. Ready?
01:26:55.408 --> 01:26:58.244
Well, this is it.
Fourth down and inches.
01:26:59.203 --> 01:27:00.454
Harrison breaks the huddle
01:27:00.579 --> 01:27:01.998
and brings his offense
to the line.
01:27:02.123 --> 01:27:04.041
You gotta believe
the Bulldogs will look
01:27:04.166 --> 01:27:05.793
to their All-Conference
quarterback
01:27:05.918 --> 01:27:07.253
to pick up this first down.
01:27:08.337 --> 01:27:09.714
Let's go, Fern-man!
You got this!
01:27:09.839 --> 01:27:10.923
If the Lobos defense
01:27:11.048 --> 01:27:12.341
can hold the Bulldogs here,
01:27:12.466 --> 01:27:14.593
the Sul Ross offense
will get the ball back...
01:27:14.719 --> 01:27:17.346
Defense! Defense!
Defense! Defense!
01:27:17.471 --> 01:27:18.681
...with great field position
01:27:18.806 --> 01:27:20.599
and time left on the clock.
01:27:22.518 --> 01:27:23.853
Shotgun
formation. Here's the snap.
01:27:23.978 --> 01:27:26.022
Harrison on the fake.
He's gonna keep it.
01:27:26.147 --> 01:27:27.398
Heads for the line.
01:27:27.523 --> 01:27:29.692
Oh my gosh, what a hit!
01:27:30.234 --> 01:27:33.112
Fernie Acosta with the biggest
stop of his life
01:27:33.237 --> 01:27:36.907
has just given the Sul Ross
Lobos a second chance.
01:27:46.250 --> 01:27:47.334
Let's go!
01:27:48.919 --> 01:27:50.504
Here we go, Lobos!
01:27:50.629 --> 01:27:52.590
Let's go, offense! Let's go!
01:27:52.715 --> 01:27:54.592
Fifteen seconds
left on the clock.
01:27:54.717 --> 01:27:57.928
Lobos with a second chance,
now in scoring position.
01:27:58.054 --> 01:28:00.139
Hey, Jeremy, make sure
you get out of bounds.
01:28:01.515 --> 01:28:03.059
Time enough
for two,
01:28:03.184 --> 01:28:04.685
maybe three plays
if they're lucky.
01:28:04.810 --> 01:28:06.687
No room for mistakes here.
01:28:06.812 --> 01:28:09.231
The Lobos with a chance
to tie it up
01:28:09.356 --> 01:28:11.275
and to take this game
into overtime.
01:28:11.400 --> 01:28:12.443
This is it!
01:28:12.568 --> 01:28:14.320
With 15 seconds left
01:28:14.445 --> 01:28:15.738
and no timeouts.
01:28:15.863 --> 01:28:17.406
Shotgun snap.
01:28:18.949 --> 01:28:20.951
Cartwright, trying
to get out of bounds.
01:28:21.869 --> 01:28:23.079
Doesn't make it!
01:28:23.204 --> 01:28:25.164
Let it go! Back on the ball!
Back on the ball!
01:28:25.289 --> 01:28:26.832
And the clock
is still ticking.
01:28:26.957 --> 01:28:28.876
Ten, nine, eight.
01:28:29.001 --> 01:28:31.170
He's trying to get the guys
back to the line of scrimmage.
01:28:31.295 --> 01:28:32.588
- Come on, Flynt.
- Seven! Six!
01:28:32.713 --> 01:28:34.256
They need to snap the ball.
01:28:34.381 --> 01:28:36.092
Five! Four!
01:28:36.217 --> 01:28:38.511
- Here comes the snap.
- Come on now! Come on!
01:28:38.636 --> 01:28:40.513
The Lobos,
shotgun snap.
01:28:40.638 --> 01:28:42.681
Braddick in the pocket.
He's looking right side.
01:28:42.807 --> 01:28:44.391
Cartwright,
back of the end zone.
01:28:49.313 --> 01:28:51.607
It's caught! It's caught!
Touchdown!
01:28:51.732 --> 01:28:55.528
Touchdown, Lobos!
Touchdown, Jeremy Cartwright!
01:28:56.112 --> 01:28:58.239
And with that touchdown,
Jeremy Cartwright
01:28:58.364 --> 01:29:02.034
breaks the school record with
80 receptions on the season
01:29:02.159 --> 01:29:06.997
and brings the Lobos one point
away from tying this game
01:29:07.164 --> 01:29:09.375
and sending it into overtime.
01:29:09.500 --> 01:29:11.252
You have got to be kidding me!
01:29:11.377 --> 01:29:12.920
Field goal unit, let's go!
01:29:13.045 --> 01:29:14.255
- Come on, son! Let's go!
- Tie this up!
01:29:14.380 --> 01:29:15.589
Mike Flynt,
01:29:15.714 --> 01:29:17.133
the oldest man
to play the game.
01:29:17.258 --> 01:29:18.342
Alright, boys, here we go.
01:29:18.467 --> 01:29:19.468
For what might be
01:29:19.593 --> 01:29:20.553
the last play of his life.
01:29:20.678 --> 01:29:21.762
Alright, all you.
01:29:21.887 --> 01:29:23.639
Get one for me, buddy,
and then we're tied.
01:29:23.764 --> 01:29:25.349
The Lobos
one point away
01:29:25.474 --> 01:29:28.811
from tying or losing their
final game of the season.
01:29:28.936 --> 01:29:30.479
Long night, ain't it?
01:29:30.604 --> 01:29:32.857
You can't
write it. It's just real life.
01:29:32.982 --> 01:29:34.275
Get set! Get set!
01:29:34.400 --> 01:29:35.568
Hey, you wanna watch out, Mike!
01:29:35.693 --> 01:29:37.945
Call 911!
Killin' an old man's a crime!
01:29:38.070 --> 01:29:39.613
Mike Flynt
and this Lobo team
01:29:39.738 --> 01:29:42.908
with a chance to tie the game
and send it into overtime.
01:29:43.033 --> 01:29:45.536
Let's tie this up.
Let's put a man on the moon.
01:29:45.661 --> 01:29:47.913
- Come on!
- Boy, after all this,
01:29:48.038 --> 01:29:49.456
all the hits tonight,
01:29:49.582 --> 01:29:51.834
all the defense
and last-minute score,
01:29:51.959 --> 01:29:54.587
it will not matter at all
for the Lobos
01:29:54.712 --> 01:29:56.589
if they can't knock down
this extra point.
01:29:56.714 --> 01:29:57.548
Set!
01:29:58.883 --> 01:30:01.886
It's a bad snap!
It's on the ground.
01:30:03.971 --> 01:30:05.931
Braddick's got to pick it up.
01:30:06.056 --> 01:30:07.474
He's looking for anybody.
01:30:07.600 --> 01:30:09.393
Now being flushed out
right side.
01:30:12.938 --> 01:30:14.523
Willie Smith is chasing him.
01:30:14.648 --> 01:30:15.733
And here comes Mike Flynt!
01:30:19.153 --> 01:30:21.614
Oh my goodness! What a hit!
01:30:21.947 --> 01:30:24.825
Mike Flynt, the 59-year-old,
01:30:24.950 --> 01:30:26.785
just frees Braddick
into the end zone
01:30:26.911 --> 01:30:28.412
- for the two-point conversion.
- Yeah!
01:30:28.537 --> 01:30:29.705
The Lobos win!
01:30:29.914 --> 01:30:31.290
The Lobos win!
01:30:33.918 --> 01:30:35.753
Yeah, Mike! Yeah!
01:30:35.878 --> 01:30:39.006
The 59-year-old Mike Flynt
01:30:39.131 --> 01:30:42.051
returns to the field
and makes a key block
01:30:42.259 --> 01:30:45.888
to get the Lobos the win
over the Bulldogs.
01:30:46.013 --> 01:30:48.849
And what a moment
for Mike Flynt and his family,
01:30:48.974 --> 01:30:50.809
all in attendance tonight.
01:30:50.935 --> 01:30:52.394
What a moment.
01:30:52.519 --> 01:30:55.522
You can't write it
any better than this.
01:31:17.544 --> 01:31:19.546
Mike! Hey, man.
01:31:19.672 --> 01:31:21.423
- That's for you.
- Oh. Thanks, Cappy.
01:31:21.548 --> 01:31:23.425
Great game, man.
It was a close one.
01:31:23.550 --> 01:31:24.718
It was!
01:31:24.843 --> 01:31:26.136
- Good job.
- Thank you.
01:31:26.262 --> 01:31:28.681
- Hey! Fern-man!
- Hey, Mike!
01:31:28.806 --> 01:31:30.307
I want to introduce you-- Ow!
01:31:30.432 --> 01:31:32.059
You call him Mr. Flynt.
01:31:32.184 --> 01:31:34.270
I taught you better than that.
01:31:34.395 --> 01:31:35.980
- Yes, ma'am.
- Perdón.
01:31:36.105 --> 01:31:38.357
Nice game.
01:31:39.441 --> 01:31:43.070
- Oh, there you are!
- Hey!
01:31:44.738 --> 01:31:47.157
- Y'all in one piece?
- Baby, when you win,
01:31:47.283 --> 01:31:48.701
nothing hurts.
01:31:50.828 --> 01:31:52.871
- Hey!
- Good job, Dad.
01:31:52.997 --> 01:31:55.124
- Oh, darlin'!
- Daddy, good job!
01:31:55.249 --> 01:31:58.544
Oh, thank you for coming!
Hey, Mama.
01:31:58.669 --> 01:31:59.962
This is for you.
01:32:00.087 --> 01:32:01.130
Oh!
01:32:01.255 --> 01:32:03.799
Michael!
01:32:04.633 --> 01:32:06.635
Your daddy would be
so proud of you.
01:32:06.760 --> 01:32:08.053
Oh, Mama.
01:32:38.917 --> 01:32:40.461
I love you, son.
01:32:44.923 --> 01:32:46.383
I love you too.
01:32:51.013 --> 01:32:52.931
I'm so sorry.
01:33:00.773 --> 01:33:05.694
Good.
Hey, let's get on home.
01:33:07.363 --> 01:33:08.864
At 59 years old,
01:33:08.989 --> 01:33:12.701
my dad became the oldest
player to ever play the game.
01:33:13.744 --> 01:33:16.955
And while he left everything
on that field,
01:33:17.081 --> 01:33:21.126
this time, he knew
what was most important
01:33:21.251 --> 01:33:22.836
is what was off of it.
01:33:22.961 --> 01:33:25.672
- You got nothin' better?
- Really?
01:33:27.174 --> 01:33:28.300
Show me!
01:33:29.343 --> 01:33:31.762
