No tears. No tears!
179
00:08:03,066 --> 00:08:04,610
Come on, be a man.
Don't flinch.
180
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:08,155
I want you to hit me.
Come on. Come on!
181
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,489
[grunting]
182
00:08:09,615 --> 00:08:10,657
I want you to hit me, Mike!
183
00:08:16,246 --> 00:08:17,206
You're a runt, Mike.
184
00:08:18,373 --> 00:08:19,791
You're a runt
and you always will be.
185
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:21,835
But you can hit.
186
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,129
So I'm gonna explain
to you the rules.
187
00:08:26,465 --> 00:08:29,051
First of all, if some fool
starts a fight with you
188
00:08:29,176 --> 00:08:30,260
and you back down,
189
00:08:30,385 --> 00:08:31,887
it's a whippin'
when you get home.
190
00:08:32,888 --> 00:08:34,389
Second, most importantly,
191
00:08:35,891 --> 00:08:38,560
if you fight and don't win,
you get a whuppin'.
192
00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:40,437
Yes, sir.
193
00:08:41,563 --> 00:08:42,814
[Mike's dad] Get inside.
194
00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:44,650
Wash that blood off
before your mom sees.
195
00:08:46,652 --> 00:08:47,778

00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,328

[yelling playfully]
That's my nose!
199
00:09:12,678 --> 00:09:14,096
I'll trade you this
for that little boy.
200
00:09:14,221 --> 00:09:15,555
No, not yet.
201
00:09:16,223 --> 00:09:17,474
Alright. Well, next week,
202
00:09:17,599 --> 00:09:19,685
I'm gonna teach you how
to light a bottle rocket.
203
00:09:19,768 --> 00:09:21,561
And I'll teach him
who to aim it at.
204
00:09:21,687 --> 00:09:23,063
- Yeah, okay.
- Night-night.
205
00:09:23,188 --> 00:09:25,691
Thanks, honey.
Thank you. Thank you. Mwah!
206
00:09:26,191 --> 00:09:27,526
Sorry I missed Micah tonight.
207
00:09:27,651 --> 00:09:29,236
When's he going back
to Knoxville?
208
00:09:29,361 --> 00:09:32,114
I don't know. He didn't say.
No, he didn't say anything.
209
00:09:32,239 --> 00:09:34,032
- 'Cause you didn't let him.
- Stop that.
210
00:09:35,701 --> 00:09:38,912
Alright, well, I guess
I'll get him down for bed.
211
00:09:39,037 --> 00:09:40,872
Yeah, since you
riled him all up, so...
212
00:09:40,998 --> 00:09:43,458
- Bye! Bye!
- Good night, guys.
213
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,377

It's a good game.

Oh, yeah?
228
00:10:26,877 --> 00:10:28,378
You know, I found this
229
00:10:29,338 --> 00:10:30,547
in the garbage can.
230
00:10:32,883 --> 00:10:34,634
Well, don't go pinnin' me
like that.
231
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,970
I'm a West Texas girl.
I'll kick your tail.

Life's too short, Mike.
236
00:10:49,983 --> 00:10:52,110
And I know how much
you love that team.
237
00:10:52,611 --> 00:10:54,571
And I know how much
they loved you.

[young Mike] Hey, boys!
Hour past curfew. Get inside.
240
00:11:07,167 --> 00:11:08,085
Gentlemen.
241
00:11:09,086 --> 00:11:10,295
You know the rules.
242
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:13,382
Stay outside, you're washing
Charlie's car tomorrow.
243
00:11:13,507 --> 00:11:14,716
I ain't washing
nobody's car, Flynt.
244
00:11:14,841 --> 00:11:16,259
[Mike] What are you doing,
Walker?
245
00:11:16,385 --> 00:11:17,803
[Walker] It ain't a big deal.
We're just having fun.
246
00:11:17,928 --> 00:11:19,346
[Mike] It is a big deal.
I'm the captain.
247
00:11:19,471 --> 00:11:20,639
[Walker] You're acting like
the sheriff.
248
00:11:20,764 --> 00:11:23,433
You ain't nothin'
but a little punk.

What's going on? Break it up!

Hey! Mike!
Get off! Break it up!
253

Get off me, Coach!
I'll kill this fool!
254

- Go to your dorm! Back off!
- You're done, Mike!

You're done!
You're done! [voice echoes]

Hey, Mike.
257
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:49,751
Coach, you, uh,
wanted to see me?
258
00:11:50,836 --> 00:11:52,879
Son, you're not gonna be
captain of the team this year.
259
00:11:53,505 --> 00:11:54,339
Why not?
260
00:11:55,382 --> 00:11:56,675
In fact, you've been kicked
out of school.
261
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,969
Coach, come on. Please don't
kick me off the team.
262
00:11:59,094 --> 00:12:00,345
You're not listening.
263
00:12:01,555 --> 00:12:03,348
Not just the team, the school.
264
00:12:05,058 --> 00:12:06,810
Sul Ross doesn't want
you here anymore.
265
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,938
How many fights since
you've been here, Michael?
266
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:12,190
Ten? Twenty? Thirty?
267
00:12:12,315 --> 00:12:13,817
President Clark
called me last night.
268

He said he's heard the name
Mike Flynt for the last time.
269
00:12:17,612 --> 00:12:21,116
Coach, this fight, it-it wasn't
a one-sided thing.
270
00:12:21,241 --> 00:12:23,493
Kids fight. I get that. I do.
271
00:12:24,953 --> 00:12:26,913
- But you're different, Mike.
- How so?
272
00:12:27,539 --> 00:12:28,748
You're the common denominator.
273

your room packing your bags.

out to the highway.

meet us out there.

invited you anyway.

294

I called Randy as soon
as I saw the invitation.
295
00:13:50,247 --> 00:13:52,165
He's already made
a reservation for you.
296
00:13:52,999 --> 00:13:55,710
I thought we agreed never to
tell each other what to do.
297
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:56,753
Hmm.
298
00:13:57,837 --> 00:13:59,631
I don't remember making
that deal.

that through.

you'd just

go down there and face
those guys.

I don't know, Mike.
306
00:14:14,813 --> 00:14:16,398
Maybe going down there would be
307

figuring that out.

00:16:30,490 --> 00:16:31,700
We've all moved on.
354
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:34,536
No such thing as
"just football."
355
00:16:34,661 --> 00:16:36,371
Yeah, well, you boys are right.
356
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:38,832
And I thank y'all for
letting me off the hook.
357
00:16:38,957 --> 00:16:41,334
It's just sometimes I wish
I could go back
358
00:16:41,459 --> 00:16:43,002
and do it all over again,
that's all.
359
00:16:43,128 --> 00:16:44,587
Do what, exactly?
360
00:16:44,713 --> 00:16:45,964
My senior year.
361
00:16:46,089 --> 00:16:48,049
I'd like to go back
and play, too,
362
00:16:48,174 --> 00:16:49,801
but my body wouldn't.
363
00:16:49,926 --> 00:16:51,302
Y'all might think I'm crazy,
364
00:16:51,428 --> 00:16:53,888
but I feel like I could
still run with them.
365
00:16:54,013 --> 00:16:56,933
Yeah, what's wrong with a
59-year-old college linebacker?

[laughter]
367
00:16:59,102 --> 00:17:02,397
You know, technically,
I bet you're still eligible.
368
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,399
You think I am?
369
00:17:04,524 --> 00:17:05,650
The college rules say that
370
00:17:05,775 --> 00:17:06,901
as long as you got
that senior year,
371
00:17:07,026 --> 00:17:07,902
you can play it.
372
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:09,821
You still look like
a football player.
373
00:17:11,156 --> 00:17:12,782
I still feel like one.

Ah.

the elephant in the room

in the room, huh?
381
00:17:41,728 --> 00:17:42,604
Yeah.
382
00:17:46,524 --> 00:17:48,026
Look, Mike, there's been
something I've been
383
00:17:48,151 --> 00:17:49,778
wanting to tell you
for a long time.
384
00:17:50,987 --> 00:17:51,988
Go on.
385
00:17:53,990 --> 00:17:56,534
You know, it's been
over 35 years, and I...
386
00:17:57,702 --> 00:18:00,205
I shouldn't have taken so long
to tell you I'm sorry.
387
00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:04,542
You're sorry?
388
00:18:04,667 --> 00:18:06,878
I was a juvenile,
d-dumb as a rock.
389
00:18:07,003 --> 00:18:10,215
I-I got you kicked off the
football team, out of school.
390
00:18:10,715 --> 00:18:12,759
- I deserved a broken nose.
- What?
391
00:18:12,884 --> 00:18:13,843
Yeah.
392
00:18:14,636 --> 00:18:15,595
No.
393
00:18:16,471 --> 00:18:19,432
I... I've been consumed.
394
00:18:21,142 --> 00:18:22,644
There hasn't been a day
that's gone by
395
00:18:22,769 --> 00:18:25,355
that I didn't think about that
night when I lost my mind.
396
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:27,190
You're sorry?
397
00:18:27,315 --> 00:18:28,525
Yeah.

Hey.

00:18:41,037 --> 00:18:42,789
I overheard the guys
402
00:18:42,914 --> 00:18:45,208
and you talking about
trying out for the team again?
403
00:18:45,333 --> 00:18:47,335
Oh, yeah, that...
404
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:49,879
Yeah, that's bananas.
You know that, right?

Hey, Mike?
406
00:18:55,009 --> 00:18:55,927
You go for it.

If anybody can do it, you can.
408
00:19:09,566 --> 00:19:11,025
[Eileen] So you're glad
you went?
409
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:12,277
[Mike] Yeah.
410
00:19:12,402 --> 00:19:13,820
- Thanks, Eileen.
- Good.
411
00:19:13,945 --> 00:19:15,446
Yeah, you were right.
It was healing.
412
00:19:15,572 --> 00:19:17,574
- I'm glad.
- Uh, listen...
413
00:19:17,699 --> 00:19:19,200
I got so much on my mind now.
414
00:19:19,909 --> 00:19:22,245
Would it be alright if
I stayed for a few more days,
415
00:19:23,246 --> 00:19:25,164
maybe, uh, checked out
the old campus?
416

Uh, sure. Okay.

I'm Mike Flynt.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're, uh...
432
00:20:26,726 --> 00:20:28,311
You're an alumnus, right?
433
00:20:28,436 --> 00:20:29,604
Well, almost, uh...
434
00:20:30,104 --> 00:20:31,773
I never finished
my senior year.
435
00:20:31,898 --> 00:20:32,982
That right? Why not?
436
00:20:33,691 --> 00:20:34,984
I got thrown out for fighting.
437
00:20:36,819 --> 00:20:38,029
But I still have that year.
438
00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:40,573
- What do you mean?
- I'm eligible.
439
00:20:40,698 --> 00:20:42,158
Eligible for what?
440
00:20:42,951 --> 00:20:43,785
To play.
441
00:20:45,912 --> 00:20:48,247
I checked, and I still have
that year.
442
00:20:48,873 --> 00:20:51,125
Coach, I'd like to try out
for your team.
443
00:20:51,876 --> 00:20:52,794
Huh.
444
00:20:53,586 --> 00:20:55,964
Yeah. Well, that's a relief.
445
00:20:56,089 --> 00:20:58,132
You know, I thought you were
here for a coaching job,
446
00:20:58,257 --> 00:21:00,009
and I'd have to find a way
to politely explain to you
447
00:21:00,134 --> 00:21:02,053
that we have no openings
on the team.
448
00:21:02,178 --> 00:21:04,764
But this way, we can just
have a good laugh, right?

00:31:30,764 --> 00:31:31,890
[Mike panting]
710
00:31:32,725 --> 00:31:34,018
How bad was that?
711
00:31:34,143 --> 00:31:35,728
It's just a stinger, Doc.
It's fine, it's fine.
712
00:31:35,811 --> 00:31:36,937
- I'm good.
- Take it easy.
713
00:31:37,062 --> 00:31:39,607
[players chattering]
714
00:31:42,276 --> 00:31:43,527
Hey, you ever done 'roids?
715
00:31:43,652 --> 00:31:44,486
[scoffs]
716
00:31:44,612 --> 00:31:46,196
There's a nice question.
717
00:31:46,322 --> 00:31:47,281
No.
718
00:31:49,033 --> 00:31:50,242
Were you a hippie?
719
00:31:50,367 --> 00:31:51,493
What?
720
00:31:51,619 --> 00:31:52,995
Bet you went organic, huh?
721
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,247
A little creatine, deer antler,
722
00:31:55,372 --> 00:31:56,332
little horny goat weed?
723
00:31:56,457 --> 00:31:57,499
Horny goat?
724
00:31:57,625 --> 00:31:59,710
No, man. I never went organic.
725
00:31:59,835 --> 00:32:02,546
Then how are you doing this
at your age, man?
726
00:32:02,671 --> 00:32:04,840
At the moment, I got no idea.
727
00:32:05,924 --> 00:32:07,051
At least you're an old-timer
728
00:32:07,176 --> 00:32:08,677
that don't know all
the answers.
729
00:32:10,387 --> 00:32:12,640
Hey, uh, what's your name?
730
00:32:13,432 --> 00:32:14,892
- Jeremy.
- Jeremy what?
731
00:32:15,017 --> 00:32:15,976
Jeremy Cartwright.
732
00:32:16,101 --> 00:32:17,144
Mike Flynt.
733
00:32:17,269 --> 00:32:18,771
Flynt. Like the stone.
734
00:32:19,313 --> 00:32:20,522
I like that.
735
00:32:20,689 --> 00:32:22,149
Strike a flint,
you get a spark, right?
736
00:32:22,274 --> 00:32:24,234
- Something like that.
- [chuckles]
737
00:32:25,235 --> 00:32:27,154
Hey, what are you
studying here?
738
00:32:27,905 --> 00:32:28,781
Me?
739
00:32:28,906 --> 00:32:30,699
[laughs] Yeah, you.
740
00:32:30,824 --> 00:32:32,201
I'm getting my degree
in education.
741
00:32:32,326 --> 00:32:34,286
I want to teach third grade.
742
00:32:34,995 --> 00:32:35,954
Teach third grade?
743
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,791
Uh, not second, not fourth?
Third?
744
00:32:39,708 --> 00:32:40,751
Third.
745
00:32:40,876 --> 00:32:41,794
I like that.
746
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:43,128
Noble.
747
00:32:43,712 --> 00:32:45,589
We need more nobility
in football.
748
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:47,758
Yeah.
749
00:32:47,883 --> 00:32:49,134
[indistinct chatter]
750
00:32:49,259 --> 00:32:50,135
Where's the...
751
00:32:50,636 --> 00:32:51,470
Ah...
752
00:32:52,012 --> 00:32:53,013
Ah, there it is.
753
00:32:55,265 --> 00:32:57,643
Hi, sir. I was wondering
if I could discuss my schedule.
754
00:32:57,768 --> 00:32:59,186
Oh, I'm not a--
Uh, I'm a student.
755
00:32:59,770 --> 00:33:01,772
OMG. You're that grandpa
756
00:33:01,897 --> 00:33:03,982
who's on the football team,
aren't you?
757
00:33:04,108 --> 00:33:05,943
Well, I haven't made
the football team yet.
758
00:33:06,068 --> 00:33:07,945
- Are you Greek?
- Irish?
759
00:33:08,654 --> 00:33:09,988
I mean, like,
are you in a frat?
760
00:33:10,114 --> 00:33:11,740
- Excuse me.
- I'm Professor Gail Davis.
761
00:33:11,865 --> 00:33:14,660
And I hope you know
you're in Biochemistry 101.
762
00:33:14,785 --> 00:33:15,744
So let's get into it.
763
00:33:15,869 --> 00:33:16,704
Hey, Mike.
764
00:33:17,246 --> 00:33:18,997
It's one thing to take
our positions on the field,
765
00:33:19,123 --> 00:33:20,708
but don't go taking
our girls now.
766
00:33:20,833 --> 00:33:22,960
[Davis] ...carbohydrates,
the Acetyl-CoA.
767
00:33:23,085 --> 00:33:25,170
Now, brownie points for anybody
who can tell me
768
00:33:25,295 --> 00:33:27,631
what the CoA stands for.
Any smarties?
769
00:33:28,882 --> 00:33:30,259
[Weston] Get loose. Get loose.
770
00:33:30,884 --> 00:33:32,553
Going to individuals
right after this,
771
00:33:32,678 --> 00:33:34,054
so get your minds right.
772
00:33:34,179 --> 00:33:35,305
Ah, come on, old-timer.
773
00:33:35,431 --> 00:33:36,807
Weak little stretch right now.
774
00:33:36,932 --> 00:33:39,017
- Weak little stretch.
- Easy now. Easy now.
775
00:33:39,143 --> 00:33:40,352
I'm old. [groans]
776
00:33:40,477 --> 00:33:42,062
What's up, man? You ready
for me, Father Time?
777
00:33:42,730 --> 00:33:44,398
- [laughs]
- I'll tell you what.
778
00:33:44,523 --> 00:33:46,108
You're out of time, son.
779
00:33:46,233 --> 00:33:47,484
[laughs] We'll see.
780
00:33:48,402 --> 00:33:51,196
- [whistle blows]
- [both grunting]
781
00:33:51,321 --> 00:33:52,197
[growls] Got ya.
782
00:33:52,322 --> 00:33:54,324
[grunting]
783
00:33:58,537 --> 00:33:59,663
How about that?
784
00:33:59,788 --> 00:34:00,706
How about what?
785
00:34:02,875 --> 00:34:04,251
- How about that.
- [Mike grunting]
786
00:34:06,211 --> 00:34:07,796
[grunting continues]
787
00:34:08,422 --> 00:34:10,591
He's like a 59-year-old Rudy.
788
00:34:10,716 --> 00:34:12,634
[yells]
789
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,303
[grunting]
790
00:34:16,722 --> 00:34:18,098
- That's it. Last one.
- That's it.
791
00:34:18,223 --> 00:34:19,475
Wait, o-one more.
792
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:21,185
[grunts]
793
00:34:21,310 --> 00:34:22,770
- [yells]
- Come on, Mike.
794
00:34:22,853 --> 00:34:24,688
Making us look bad.
It ain't a contest.
795
00:34:24,813 --> 00:34:26,023
- Nice effort, Flynt.
- [exhales]
796
00:34:26,815 --> 00:34:28,859
Contest? Yeah. Contest.
797
00:34:28,984 --> 00:34:30,652
We're gonna do a contest.
798
00:34:30,778 --> 00:34:32,863
- Contest! Alright?
- [men clamor]
799
00:34:32,988 --> 00:34:34,740
Alright,
now I want three benches
800
00:34:34,865 --> 00:34:36,492
lined up right here.
801
00:34:36,617 --> 00:34:39,787
Three of you are gonna lift
these 45-pound plates
802
00:34:39,912 --> 00:34:41,538
- 'til the last man quits.
- Yeah.
803
00:34:41,663 --> 00:34:43,415
- Alright?
- Done and done.
804
00:34:43,540 --> 00:34:45,000
- Flynt?
- [inhales deeply]
805
00:34:45,125 --> 00:34:46,376
Of course.
806
00:34:46,502 --> 00:34:48,086
- What? What'd you say?
- [loud exhale]
807
00:34:48,587 --> 00:34:50,506
Haven't used it all up, Coach.
Let's go!
808
00:34:50,631 --> 00:34:52,800
- Alright, let's go.
- [men cheer]
809
00:34:52,925 --> 00:34:54,092
Hey, I'm rootin' for you, Mike.
810
00:34:54,218 --> 00:34:55,344
Somebody better.
811
00:34:55,469 --> 00:34:56,762
Alright, now, get set...
812
00:34:57,679 --> 00:35:00,265
and on Coach Clay's whistle...
813
00:35:00,390 --> 00:35:02,893
- [whistle blows]
- [men shouting, cheering]
814
00:35:03,018 --> 00:35:05,521
Yeah! Come on,
come on, come on!
815
00:35:05,646 --> 00:35:06,438
[huffing]
816
00:35:06,563 --> 00:35:07,689
Come on! Come on!
817
00:35:15,155 --> 00:35:16,907
[cheering continues]
818
00:35:19,660 --> 00:35:21,662
Come on, Mike! You got 'em!
Come on, come on, come on!
819
00:35:21,787 --> 00:35:23,121
Keep going! Keep going, Mike!
820
00:35:23,247 --> 00:35:24,623
Don't you stop! Mike, come on!
821
00:35:24,748 --> 00:35:25,749
You got it! You got it!
822
00:35:26,708 --> 00:35:28,460
Let's go. You got this.
Let's go!
823
00:35:28,585 --> 00:35:31,004
You got it! You got it!
He stopped. Mike, come on!
824
00:35:31,129 --> 00:35:32,297
- Only got one left.
- Let's go!
825
00:35:32,422 --> 00:35:34,466
- Let's go, Mike! Let's go!
- Mike!
826
00:35:34,591 --> 00:35:36,134
[men chanting "Mike!"]
827
00:35:36,260 --> 00:35:38,679
Mr. Flynt! Mr. Flynt!
828
00:35:38,804 --> 00:35:41,014
[men chanting "Mike!"]
829
00:35:41,139 --> 00:35:42,808
[grunting]
830
00:35:42,933 --> 00:35:45,811
- [men chanting "Mike!"]
- [music builds]
831
00:35:45,936 --> 00:35:47,813
[grunting]
832
00:35:50,107 --> 00:35:51,483
[loud exhale]
833
00:35:51,608 --> 00:35:54,027
[cheering]
834
00:35:58,949 --> 00:36:00,075
From now on,
835
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,619
this exercise
will be known as the...
836
00:36:02,744 --> 00:36:05,038
- Mike Flynt!
- [loud cheering]
837
00:36:05,163 --> 00:36:07,040
[men chanting "Mike!"]
838
00:36:10,294 --> 00:36:11,587
No, no, no, no, Mike.
839
00:36:11,712 --> 00:36:12,754
You-you good, man.
840
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:14,423
You made the team 40 years ago!
841
00:36:14,548 --> 00:36:15,757
- [crosstalk]
- Forty years ago?
842
00:36:15,883 --> 00:36:17,968
Whoa, hey. So I found
the 1970 yearbook
843
00:36:18,093 --> 00:36:19,219
in the library,
and you know what it said?
844
00:36:19,344 --> 00:36:21,930
Said Mr. Flynt made 24 tackles
in one game.
845
00:36:22,055 --> 00:36:23,390
How many times
do I have to tell ya,
846
00:36:23,515 --> 00:36:24,975
don't call me Mr. Flynt.
847
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:26,101
- Uh--
- Call me Mike.
848
00:36:26,226 --> 00:36:27,686
Wait. Hang on. Are you serious?
849
00:36:27,811 --> 00:36:30,147
It's true. And I thought
I was balling with 12 tackles.
850
00:36:30,272 --> 00:36:32,107
Yeah, you could make
24 tackles.
851
00:36:32,232 --> 00:36:33,525
Pfft. In my dreams, maybe.
852
00:36:33,650 --> 00:36:34,776
Well, it starts with dreaming.
853
00:36:34,902 --> 00:36:36,153
Like every week
I would daydream
854
00:36:36,278 --> 00:36:37,821
about the next game
and play this movie
855
00:36:37,946 --> 00:36:39,239
over and over again in my head.
856
00:36:39,364 --> 00:36:41,366
I'd like, just sack
the quarterback
857
00:36:41,491 --> 00:36:43,076
and stuff him for a loss.
You know?
858
00:36:43,201 --> 00:36:44,995
- Yeah.
- Time we got to the real game,
859
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,371
I'd already won a dozen games
860
00:36:46,496 --> 00:36:47,915
in my mind's eye. You get me?
861
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,374
That's like Phil Jackson's
Sacred Hoops.
862
00:36:49,499 --> 00:36:50,959
- That's right, exactly.
- Bruce Lee.
863
00:36:51,501 --> 00:36:53,921
- Ooh, Enter the Linebacker.
- Exactly.
864
00:36:54,046 --> 00:36:56,048
Zen and the Art of Ass-kicking,
865
00:36:56,173 --> 00:36:58,258
starring my man, Mike Flynt.
You know what I'm saying?
866
00:36:58,383 --> 00:36:59,843
- Killing me, man.
- [laughter]
867
00:36:59,968 --> 00:37:01,178
You know what?
868
00:37:01,303 --> 00:37:02,554
Maybe I can make 24.
869
00:37:02,679 --> 00:37:04,389
- Hey.
- [Mike] Hey.
870
00:37:04,514 --> 00:37:06,058
Since you're daydreaming,
871
00:37:06,183 --> 00:37:07,809
you might as well make it 25.
872
00:37:08,602 --> 00:37:11,146
[sentimental music playing]
873
00:37:18,403 --> 00:37:20,447
- [music fades]
- [breathing heavily]
874
00:37:20,572 --> 00:37:22,282
Hey, son. Hey, listen.
875
00:37:22,407 --> 00:37:24,368
This is the bad part of my job
and I hate doing it,
876
00:37:24,493 --> 00:37:26,161
but I'm gonna have to wind up
cutting you.
877
00:37:26,286 --> 00:37:28,246
Okay? It's not gonna work out
this year.
878
00:37:28,372 --> 00:37:29,957
Go back, work
on the fundamentals.
879
00:37:30,082 --> 00:37:32,876
I'll see you next year, okay?
See you next year.
880
00:37:33,001 --> 00:37:34,544
Alright? We're gonna gather up.
Alright?
881
00:37:34,670 --> 00:37:36,171
- [whistle blows]
- Gather up!
882
00:37:36,296 --> 00:37:37,714
[player] Alright?
Come on, come on.
883
00:37:39,007 --> 00:37:40,717
Circle up. Circle up. Okay?
884
00:37:40,842 --> 00:37:44,221
Alright then. Coach Clay,
how many we got left?
885
00:37:44,346 --> 00:37:46,098
[Clay] Fifty-four, Coach.
886
00:37:46,223 --> 00:37:49,601
That's it, boys. You made it.
This is your team.
887
00:37:49,726 --> 00:37:51,269
- Yeah!
- Congratulations.
888
00:37:51,395 --> 00:37:52,562
- Alright.
- Yeah.
889
00:37:52,688 --> 00:37:53,689
Does this mean I made it?
890
00:37:53,814 --> 00:37:55,107
Yeah, it means you made it,
Mike.
891
00:37:55,232 --> 00:37:57,359
- You did it, Mike.
- Yeah. You got this, man!
892
00:37:57,484 --> 00:37:59,194
- Congratulations!
- Hey, Coach.
893
00:37:59,319 --> 00:38:00,821
Does this mean I made the team?
894
00:38:01,446 --> 00:38:03,782
See, this is why you never
graduated in the first place.
895
00:38:03,907 --> 00:38:04,825
You don't listen.
896
00:38:04,950 --> 00:38:06,284
Oh, thank you, Coach!
897
00:38:06,410 --> 00:38:08,203
I promise you,
I will not let you down.
898
00:38:08,328 --> 00:38:10,747
- Okay. Alright.
- [hopeful music playing]
899
00:38:10,872 --> 00:38:12,749
Hey, look at that, huh?
900
00:38:12,874 --> 00:38:15,168
Ahora tú eres mi carnal,
Mr. Flynt!
901
00:38:15,293 --> 00:38:16,712
Well, thank you very much,
I think.
902
00:38:18,005 --> 00:38:18,880
You got heart, Flynt.
903
00:38:19,381 --> 00:38:20,424
- Thanks, Captain.
- You bet.
904
00:38:20,549 --> 00:38:21,508
I appreciate you.
905
00:38:22,009 --> 00:38:23,552
- Hey!
- Hey, Jeremy, man.
906
00:38:23,677 --> 00:38:24,886
- Hey, man.
- Ah!
907
00:38:25,012 --> 00:38:29,182
- [men chattering happily]
- [music swells]
908
00:38:30,976 --> 00:38:32,185
I'm sorry, man.
909
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:38,817
- Congratulations.
- Thanks.
910
00:38:38,942 --> 00:38:40,152
You're a great story.
911
00:38:40,277 --> 00:38:42,696
[soft dramatic music playing]
912
00:38:47,617 --> 00:38:49,703
Ta-da! [chuckles]
913
00:38:51,121 --> 00:38:51,997
[laughs]
914
00:38:52,497 --> 00:38:53,665
Well, congratulations.
915
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:55,584
- Oh, you made it!
- [both laughing]
916
00:39:00,172 --> 00:39:01,381
What's going on?
917
00:39:01,506 --> 00:39:03,633
Well, allow me the privilege
918
00:39:03,759 --> 00:39:07,471
of worrying about a husband
who's gonna fight semi-trucks
919
00:39:07,596 --> 00:39:09,014
- every Saturday.
- Come on.
920
00:39:09,139 --> 00:39:10,390
Can I just have
this one moment?
921
00:39:10,515 --> 00:39:11,767
Just this one moment.
922
00:39:11,892 --> 00:39:14,061
Like I said, congratulations.
923
00:39:15,062 --> 00:39:16,980
Well, DeLanie and Lily called.
924
00:39:17,105 --> 00:39:18,857
Uh, our grandson asked
925
00:39:18,982 --> 00:39:20,650
if I could knock
someone's head off.
926
00:39:20,776 --> 00:39:23,153
Uh-huh. What about Micah?
927
00:39:23,278 --> 00:39:24,821
Ah, Micah, I don't get.
928
00:39:25,447 --> 00:39:26,865
Well, he's worried about you.
929
00:39:26,990 --> 00:39:29,367
So he expresses that
by not communicating?
930
00:39:29,493 --> 00:39:31,620
- I don't buy that.
- Maybe he thinks silence
931
00:39:31,745 --> 00:39:33,789
is the only way
to reach you now.
932
00:39:35,624 --> 00:39:36,458
Hey.
933
00:39:37,334 --> 00:39:39,669
It's good. Good. [exhales]
934
00:39:41,588 --> 00:39:44,007
Football is a contact sport.
935
00:39:44,132 --> 00:39:47,135
No, ma'am.
Football is a collision sport.
936
00:39:47,636 --> 00:39:49,846
- That makes me feel better.
- Dance. Dance...
937
00:39:49,971 --> 00:39:51,681
- is a contact sport.
- Ah.
938
00:39:51,807 --> 00:39:53,642
What do you think you're doing?
939
00:39:53,767 --> 00:39:55,644
I'm just making my move, woman.
940
00:39:55,769 --> 00:39:56,603
[chuckles]
941
00:39:57,187 --> 00:39:59,356
- I swear, you're so beautiful.
- [news intro playing]
942
00:39:59,481 --> 00:40:02,067
We've all heard stories about
retirees going back to school
943
00:40:02,192 --> 00:40:04,152
and getting their diplomas,
but have you ever heard
944
00:40:04,277 --> 00:40:06,822
of a 59-year-old guy
going back to college
945
00:40:06,947 --> 00:40:08,490
and signing up
for the football team?
946
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:09,950
{\an8}[reporter 2]
For Mike Flynt, number 49,
947
00:40:10,075 --> 00:40:11,326
{\an8}age is just a number.
948
00:40:11,451 --> 00:40:13,245
...a Texas grandfather
who's tearing up
949
00:40:13,370 --> 00:40:15,497
the competition,
and it's no pickup game.
950
00:40:15,622 --> 00:40:16,957
It's in NCAA football.
951
00:40:17,082 --> 00:40:18,542
Mike Flynt asked himself
that question
952
00:40:18,667 --> 00:40:19,501
for 36 years,
953
00:40:19,626 --> 00:40:21,169
and now he has finally decided
954
00:40:21,294 --> 00:40:22,838
- to do something about it.
- Go, Mike.
955
00:40:22,963 --> 00:40:25,382
For 59-year-old grandfather
Mike Flynt,
956
00:40:25,507 --> 00:40:27,092
it's a dream that never died.
957
00:40:27,217 --> 00:40:28,718
- He's 59?
- 59?
958
00:40:28,844 --> 00:40:30,971
Jeez, man.
He's older than my dad.
959
00:40:31,096 --> 00:40:33,140
One more rep.
The only way we get beat
960
00:40:33,265 --> 00:40:34,349
out on that field
961
00:40:34,474 --> 00:40:36,393
is if you beat yourself
in here.
962
00:40:37,144 --> 00:40:38,728
You get out what you put in.
963
00:40:38,854 --> 00:40:40,021
One more rep.
964
00:40:40,147 --> 00:40:41,231
Don't quit.
965
00:40:41,815 --> 00:40:43,150
That's what I'm talking about,
Flynt.
966
00:40:43,275 --> 00:40:44,943
Come on, Fern-man,
you got this!
967
00:40:45,068 --> 00:40:46,236
- [whistle blows]
- Let's go!
968
00:40:46,361 --> 00:40:48,989
- [grunting]
- [cheering]
969
00:40:49,114 --> 00:40:51,032
Next two, next two. Let's go!
970
00:40:52,409 --> 00:40:53,577
Hey, Fernie.
971
00:40:53,702 --> 00:40:55,162
You're as strong
as a bull, man,
972
00:40:55,287 --> 00:40:56,705
but you're hitting too high.
973
00:40:56,830 --> 00:40:58,165
Eyes through the thighs,
974
00:40:58,290 --> 00:41:00,292
wrap and squeeze,
drive for five.
975
00:41:00,417 --> 00:41:02,252
You can tackle a T-Rex
like that, man.
976
00:41:02,377 --> 00:41:04,504
Technique. Technique
instead of strength.
977
00:41:04,629 --> 00:41:07,048
Technique and strength. Got it?
978
00:41:07,716 --> 00:41:09,467
Let me see if I can take
my own advice.
979
00:41:09,593 --> 00:41:10,802
Thanks, Mr. Flynt.
980
00:41:10,927 --> 00:41:12,596
- Mike!
- Let's go. Mike, let's go!
981
00:41:12,721 --> 00:41:14,222
Let's go. Let's go. Alright!
982
00:41:14,347 --> 00:41:16,683
- Get in there!
- Here we go. Here we go.
983
00:41:16,808 --> 00:41:19,394
- Here we go. Here we go.
- [shouting continues]

- [loud thud]
- [cheering]
986
00:41:22,355 --> 00:41:24,274
Yeah, baby!
That's what I'm talking about!
987
00:41:24,399 --> 00:41:25,859
That's what I'm talking about.
988
00:41:27,861 --> 00:41:29,571
Let's go. Next two. Next two.
989
00:41:30,197 --> 00:41:31,698
- [grunting]
- [clamoring]
990
00:41:31,823 --> 00:41:33,950
Nice hit! That's how to do it.
991
00:41:34,075 --> 00:41:35,577
- Let's go. Next group!
- Whoo!
992
00:41:35,702 --> 00:41:38,038
Ah, that's me. That's me.
That's me. Let's go.
993
00:41:38,747 --> 00:41:41,374
[clamoring]
994
00:41:41,499 --> 00:41:43,293
[tense music playing]
995
00:41:43,418 --> 00:41:45,378
- He's mine.
- Take him out, Stanton!
996
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,050
- Oh, it's on now!
- [breathing heavily]
997
00:41:50,967 --> 00:41:51,885
Come on!
998
00:41:53,887 --> 00:41:55,096
- Go!

That's what I'm talkin' about!
1002
00:42:00,727 --> 00:42:02,938
Don't bring it up in here,
old man!
1003
00:42:03,063 --> 00:42:06,358
- Let's go, guys! Go!
- [whistle blowing]
1004
00:42:07,359 --> 00:42:09,152
Alright, listen up.
O-line's gonna see
1005
00:42:09,277 --> 00:42:11,655
a lot of pressure on Saturday
so we're going blitz pickup.
1006
00:42:11,780 --> 00:42:12,739
Let's get on the line.
1007
00:42:13,531 --> 00:42:15,909
Watch 33. Punch the gap on two.
1008
00:42:16,034 --> 00:42:18,078
[chuckles] Gramps is mine.
1009
00:42:18,203 --> 00:42:20,330
- Ready! Blue 32!
- Coming for you, old man.
1010
00:42:20,455 --> 00:42:22,374
- Set, go!
- [grunting]
1011

- [yells, grunts]
- [whistle blows]
1012
00:42:25,627 --> 00:42:27,254
- [grunts]
- Sorry about that, Cap.
1013
00:42:27,379 --> 00:42:28,588
- You're good.
- Alright, nice.
1014
00:42:28,713 --> 00:42:30,423
- Good job, Flynt.
- Next time, Stanton.
1015
00:42:30,548 --> 00:42:33,176
- You better shut up right now.
- Hey, focus. Listen to me.
1016
00:42:33,301 --> 00:42:34,886
You're gonna get Kyle killed
playing like that.
1017
00:42:35,011 --> 00:42:36,721
Keep your head on a swivel.
Get in there.
1018
00:42:38,431 --> 00:42:40,767
Field, rip, smack.
Field, rip, smack. Ready?
1019
00:42:42,102 --> 00:42:43,019
Break!
1020
00:42:43,144 --> 00:42:44,354
- Ready.
- [hands clap]
1021
00:42:44,479 --> 00:42:46,106
Flynt. Switch side with Jones.
1022
00:42:46,231 --> 00:42:47,857
- Go to the Will. Let's go.
- Yes, Coach.
1023
00:42:47,983 --> 00:42:48,984
- Go, Flynt.
- [grunts]

[tense music builds]

Ready?
1026
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:56,574
Red 88. Red 88.
1027
00:42:56,700 --> 00:42:57,784
Set, go!

- [groans]
- That was next time, huh?!
1032
00:43:05,917 --> 00:43:07,043
- [groans]
- Yo, Money Mike.
1033
00:43:07,168 --> 00:43:09,296
- You alright, Mike?
- Flynt, you okay?
1034
00:43:09,421 --> 00:43:11,381
- Mike, come on, man.
- Is he okay?
1035
00:43:11,965 --> 00:43:13,133
There you go, Mike. Come on.
1036
00:43:13,258 --> 00:43:15,135
- Come on, man up.
- [groaning]
1037
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:17,429
- Flynt?
- Yeah, I'm fine, Coach.
1038
00:43:17,554 --> 00:43:19,597
Don't look like it. Go see Doc.
1039
00:43:19,723 --> 00:43:21,099
That was a cheap shot, Stanton.
1040
00:43:21,224 --> 00:43:23,518
- You bush league punk--
- Now, Mike. Go!
1041
00:43:23,643 --> 00:43:24,978
[Stanton] You're not
so tough now.
1042
00:43:25,103 --> 00:43:25,937
[sighs, groans]
1043
00:43:26,062 --> 00:43:27,522
[Coach] And you hit
the showers!
1044
00:43:27,647 --> 00:43:29,774
- [breathing heavily]
- Out of my face!
1045
00:43:29,899 --> 00:43:31,026
[whistle blows]
1046
00:43:31,151 --> 00:43:32,277
No, no.
1047

1048

[machine whirring]
1050
00:43:43,288 --> 00:43:44,581
Ah, I got one question.
1051
00:43:44,706 --> 00:43:45,749
Uh...
1052
00:43:46,833 --> 00:43:49,753
how am I gonna hold my...
my wife's hand if I'm in there?
1053
00:43:51,713 --> 00:43:52,964
{\an8}- Here we go.
- You'll be alright.
1054
00:43:54,341 --> 00:43:56,051
- Love you.
- [whirring]
1055
00:44:04,059 --> 00:44:06,061
[clicking, whirring]
1056
00:44:07,354 --> 00:44:09,064
[Dr. Mehta] You've got
severely bulging discs.
1057
00:44:09,189 --> 00:44:11,107
The C6 and C7.
1058
00:44:11,232 --> 00:44:13,234
Rupture those,
and you might suffer
1059
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:14,819
permanent spinal cord injury.
1060
00:44:14,944 --> 00:44:17,405
I'm not clearing you to play
until you've got full strength
1061
00:44:17,530 --> 00:44:19,074
and range of motion
in your neck,
1062
00:44:19,199 --> 00:44:21,284
shoulder, arms, and chest.
1063
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:25,121
[Micah] Dad, this is exactly
what I was talking about.
1064
00:44:25,246 --> 00:44:27,457
Come on, Micah.
Stop being such a worrywart.
1065
00:44:27,582 --> 00:44:29,167
I'm-I'm following
the doctor's orders--
1066
00:44:29,292 --> 00:44:31,961
Really? Since when do you
follow anyone's orders?
1067
00:44:32,087 --> 00:44:34,214
Dad, it's-it's time
to let it go.
1068
00:44:34,339 --> 00:44:36,424
Just stop it already, please.
1069
00:44:37,258 --> 00:44:38,551
- I can't.
- So what?
1070
00:44:38,676 --> 00:44:40,762
Me, Lily, Lanie, Mom,
1071
00:44:40,887 --> 00:44:42,305
we just-- we don't matter?
1072
00:44:42,806 --> 00:44:44,307
I hope you enjoy
playing your game, Dad.
1073
00:44:44,432 --> 00:44:45,683
[line disconnects]
1074
00:44:46,851 --> 00:44:47,811
[sighs]
1075
00:44:47,936 --> 00:44:49,604
[indistinct chatter]
1076
00:44:50,522 --> 00:44:52,440
Hey, nice sweatpants, Flynt.
1077
00:44:52,565 --> 00:44:54,275
Hides your diaper nicely.
1078
00:44:54,943 --> 00:44:56,986
Oh, I am so sick of this dude.
1079
00:44:57,112 --> 00:44:59,864
Hey, what's your problem
with me, Stanton?
1080
00:44:59,989 --> 00:45:01,783
You better get outta my face,
old man.
1081
00:45:01,908 --> 00:45:04,077
- You get outta my face.
- How's that busted shoulder?
1082
00:45:04,202 --> 00:45:07,372
- [all shouting]
- Break it up!
1083
00:45:07,497 --> 00:45:09,124
- [yells]
- [shouting]
1084
00:45:09,249 --> 00:45:10,792
Hey! That's enough!
1085
00:45:10,917 --> 00:45:12,961
Get off of me! He's wasting
everybody's time, Coach!
1086
00:45:13,086 --> 00:45:14,796
You hit the showers.
1087
00:45:14,921 --> 00:45:16,047
- Come on.
- Hey!
1088
00:45:16,172 --> 00:45:18,216
[overlapping shouting]
1089
00:45:18,341 --> 00:45:19,592
What are you doing, Mike?
1090
00:45:19,717 --> 00:45:21,302
Every man has their limits,
Coach.
1091
00:45:21,428 --> 00:45:23,471
And you shouldn't be
anywhere near yours.
1092
00:45:32,188 --> 00:45:34,107
Yeah, I told you.
They're still here.
1093
00:45:34,232 --> 00:45:35,442
- Yeah.
- [engine stops]
1094
00:45:37,485 --> 00:45:38,319
[chuckles softly]
1095
00:45:39,863 --> 00:45:41,114
You remember?
1096
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:42,615
I do.
1097
00:45:43,950 --> 00:45:46,703
- The first game, boys.
- Hey! What's up, Mike?
1098
00:45:47,704 --> 00:45:49,706
[Mike] I came
to wish you boys luck.
1099
00:45:49,831 --> 00:45:51,332
- Oh, yeah!
- [grunting]
1100
00:45:51,458 --> 00:45:54,043
I know you don't need any luck.
I know. I know.
1101
00:45:54,169 --> 00:45:55,587
Get on the bus. Get on the bus.
1102
00:45:55,712 --> 00:45:57,630
Come on. Even you guys.
Yeah. Come on.
1103
00:45:57,755 --> 00:45:58,840
Hey, Coach.
1104
00:45:58,965 --> 00:46:00,175
- Hey, Mike.
- Hey, uh...
1105
00:46:00,300 --> 00:46:01,342
Decent of you to come by.
1106
00:46:01,468 --> 00:46:02,510
Thanks. Can I have a word?
1107
00:46:02,635 --> 00:46:04,387
- Sure.
- Hey, listen. Uh, uh...
1108
00:46:04,512 --> 00:46:07,056
I was wondering if I could go
on the bus for a few minutes
1109
00:46:07,182 --> 00:46:09,017
and say a few words
to the boys.
1110
00:46:10,602 --> 00:46:11,436
Why?
1111
00:46:12,103 --> 00:46:14,105
Why? Uh, well,
'cause I, you know,
1112
00:46:14,230 --> 00:46:16,524
I've been around a lot
of football in my day and...
1113
00:46:16,649 --> 00:46:18,985
you know, I feel like if I say
a few words to the boys,
1114
00:46:19,110 --> 00:46:20,278
I could-- I could get 'em--
1115
00:46:20,403 --> 00:46:22,447
Yeah. Let's not confuse
the boys, Mike, huh?
1116
00:46:23,656 --> 00:46:25,283
But I do appreciate
you coming by, Mike.
1117
00:46:25,408 --> 00:46:26,534
See you on Monday.
1118
00:46:27,118 --> 00:46:29,787
First game, let's go!
Time to...
1119
00:46:29,913 --> 00:46:31,289
[announcer]
A packed crowd here
1120
00:46:31,414 --> 00:46:33,791
at East Texas Stadium
for the season opener.
1121
00:46:33,917 --> 00:46:35,668
And with much
of the preseason hype
1122
00:46:35,793 --> 00:46:37,962
centered around
the 59-year-old linebacker
1123
00:46:38,087 --> 00:46:41,216
Mike Flynt,
today, the Sul Ross Lobos
1124
00:46:41,341 --> 00:46:42,800
will have to go without Flynt,
1125
00:46:42,926 --> 00:46:44,719
forced to stay home
with a neck injury.
1126
00:46:44,844 --> 00:46:47,013
- [groans]
- Let's get ready to rumble.
1127
00:46:47,639 --> 00:46:49,390
Lobo football!
1128
00:46:51,351 --> 00:46:53,102
Oh...
1129
00:46:53,228 --> 00:46:54,395
Let me help you.
1130
00:46:54,521 --> 00:46:57,524
- I have it, honey. Here...
- Alright.
1131
00:46:57,649 --> 00:47:00,652
[dramatic music playing]
1132
00:47:00,777 --> 00:47:01,986
Alright. Would you get it?
1133
00:47:03,321 --> 00:47:04,572
[sighs deeply]
1134
00:47:05,114 --> 00:47:07,534
[breathing heavily]
1135
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,379
[announcer] And you gotta
wonder if Coach Sam Weston
1136
00:47:19,504 --> 00:47:20,797
is feeling the pressure,
1137
00:47:20,922 --> 00:47:23,550
as the Lobos lose
another heartbreaker,
1138
00:47:24,217 --> 00:47:26,010
23 to 21.
1139
00:47:26,135 --> 00:47:27,512
Honey, can I help you?
1140
00:47:28,012 --> 00:47:30,098
Yeah, yeah.
Just lift it a little bit.
1141
00:47:30,223 --> 00:47:31,683
- Just a little.
- From underneath?
1142
00:47:31,808 --> 00:47:33,101
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Okay. Just like that?
1143
00:47:33,226 --> 00:47:34,561
- Yeah.
- That's good.
1144
00:47:34,686 --> 00:47:36,062
- Keep going.
- Yeah? That's it.
1145
00:47:36,187 --> 00:47:37,188
Look at that.
1146
00:47:38,231 --> 00:47:40,733
[groans in pain] No! No!
1147
00:47:41,526 --> 00:47:43,069
- No!
- [sighs]
1148
00:47:43,194 --> 00:47:44,320
- Ah!
- [huffs]
1149
00:47:47,657 --> 00:47:48,491
Oh!
1150
00:47:57,166 --> 00:47:58,793
Doctor says it's real simple.
1151
00:47:59,794 --> 00:48:01,838
If I can't lift a football
over my head,
1152
00:48:02,505 --> 00:48:03,631
I can't play.
1153
00:48:04,215 --> 00:48:05,258
Yeah. So...
1154
00:48:06,259 --> 00:48:08,678
- what if you can't play?
- Well, then all this...
1155
00:48:09,554 --> 00:48:10,888
All this is for nothing.
1156
00:48:11,514 --> 00:48:13,933
Nothing matters if I can't be
out there with my team.
1157
00:48:17,186 --> 00:48:19,689
Honey, you don't have
to do this, you know?
1158
00:48:20,273 --> 00:48:23,443
You don't have to prove
anything, to me.
1159
00:48:23,568 --> 00:48:24,402
[Eileen sighs]
1160
00:48:26,112 --> 00:48:29,616
- We're your team too. Remember?
- Of course, I know that.
1161
00:48:29,741 --> 00:48:31,951
And besides, you're supposed
to be thinking about retiring.
1162
00:48:32,076 --> 00:48:33,786
I don't think you wanna do that
1163
00:48:33,911 --> 00:48:35,121
paralyzed and in a wheelchair.
1164
00:48:35,246 --> 00:48:36,331
I'm not gonna get paralyzed.
1165
00:48:36,456 --> 00:48:37,957
Mike, you're a linebacker.
1166
00:48:38,082 --> 00:48:39,542
You can't promise me that.
1167
00:48:42,295 --> 00:48:43,254
Honey.
1168
00:48:44,964 --> 00:48:47,300
- It's just a game.
- It's more than that!
1169
00:48:49,177 --> 00:48:51,429
[dramatic music playing]
1170
00:48:51,554 --> 00:48:53,306
It's a whole lot more
than that.
1171
00:48:53,431 --> 00:48:55,141
[dramatic music playing]
1172
00:49:03,733 --> 00:49:04,859
[groans]
1173
00:49:04,984 --> 00:49:07,445
- [Doc] Pull. There you go.
- [groans] Gah.
1174
00:49:07,570 --> 00:49:08,780
[Doc] Slow and steady.
1175
00:49:09,405 --> 00:49:10,365
- Yes, sir.
- Alright.
1176
00:49:10,490 --> 00:49:12,408
[shouting, cheering]
1177
00:49:16,537 --> 00:49:18,998
[crowd groans]
1178
00:49:23,961 --> 00:49:25,713
[indistinct chatter]
1179
00:49:27,340 --> 00:49:31,010
- [car door opens, closes]
- [indistinct chatter, laughter]
1180
00:49:31,135 --> 00:49:32,720
- You alright with this?
- Yeah, I got it.
1181
00:49:32,845 --> 00:49:34,764
Look, I think I can drive
myself tomorrow, man.
1182
00:49:34,889 --> 00:49:36,599
Are you sure? You know
doctor with the arm, man.
1183
00:49:36,724 --> 00:49:38,810
Nah, thanks. See you tomorrow.
1184
00:49:38,935 --> 00:49:40,186
- Sure?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1185
00:49:41,938 --> 00:49:43,189
- [Jeremy laughs]
- Hey, Micah!
1186
00:49:43,314 --> 00:49:45,149
- Hey, Dad.
- [Eileen] How you feelin'?
1187
00:49:45,733 --> 00:49:46,818
Uh, better.
1188
00:49:46,943 --> 00:49:48,361
- [car engine starts]
- Yeah?
1189
00:49:50,154 --> 00:49:51,572
- Glad you're here.
- Yeah.
1190
00:49:51,698 --> 00:49:54,575
Uh, hey, you know what?
I could use your help.
1191
00:49:54,701 --> 00:49:56,327
Okay. Hey, let me get that.
1192
00:49:56,452 --> 00:49:58,079
- Yeah. I got it. Yeah.
- Thanks.
1193
00:50:00,415 --> 00:50:02,917
[Micah] Alright. Look,
the cycle harnesses
1194
00:50:03,042 --> 00:50:07,004
the available chemical energy
of acetyl coenzyme A
1195
00:50:07,130 --> 00:50:09,549
into the reducing power
1196
00:50:09,674 --> 00:50:11,676
of nicotinamide adenine
dinucleotide.
1197
00:50:11,801 --> 00:50:13,386
In the end, it's that simple.
1198
00:50:13,886 --> 00:50:16,431
- [laughs]
- Basically, it's metabolism.
1199
00:50:16,556 --> 00:50:18,891
- Amazing.
- It's exciting stuff.
1200
00:50:19,016 --> 00:50:20,226
- Yeah, I know.
- [laughs]
1201
00:50:20,351 --> 00:50:22,395
No, it's amazing
that you're my son.
1202
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,107
Where you get the talent
for this is not from me.
1203
00:50:26,232 --> 00:50:27,150
[chuckles]
1204
00:50:27,900 --> 00:50:28,818
Alright. Uh...
1205
00:50:30,153 --> 00:50:31,446
Let's take a break. Yeah?
1206
00:50:32,572 --> 00:50:35,283
Uh-oh... [clears throat]
Let me guess,
1207
00:50:35,408 --> 00:50:37,827
the girls have pulled out
the heavy artillery.
1208
00:50:37,952 --> 00:50:39,328
Look, Micah, I'm...
1209
00:50:39,454 --> 00:50:41,998
I'm being careful.
I'm going slow.
1210
00:50:42,123 --> 00:50:46,085
You shouldn't be going at all
after a neck injury.
1211
00:50:46,836 --> 00:50:48,254
Come on, at your age?
1212
00:50:48,379 --> 00:50:51,215
Seriously. What, what happens,
God forbid you go out there
1213
00:50:51,340 --> 00:50:52,550
and you end up in a wheelchair?
1214
00:50:52,675 --> 00:50:54,343
Son, you gotta trust me.
1215
00:50:54,469 --> 00:50:56,387
What, like, you're on
some kind of quest?
1216
00:50:57,263 --> 00:50:58,723
Like you're some kind of hero?
1217
00:50:59,515 --> 00:51:01,058
Look, I-I...
1218
00:51:01,684 --> 00:51:04,270
I-I just,
I feel like I could...
1219
00:51:05,146 --> 00:51:07,356
make an impact with these boys,
1220
00:51:07,482 --> 00:51:09,692
these-these kids,
that I could ne--
1221
00:51:09,817 --> 00:51:12,820
[soft, solemn music playing]
1222
00:51:16,908 --> 00:51:17,742
Yeah.
1223
00:51:18,493 --> 00:51:19,327
Okay.
1224
00:51:21,829 --> 00:51:22,663
I get it.
1225
00:51:25,750 --> 00:51:26,584
Look...
1226
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:31,088
you've always been really good
at giving advice,
1227
00:51:32,507 --> 00:51:35,551
not so good at getting it,
and I think that is a virtue
1228
00:51:37,261 --> 00:51:38,971
you need to pick up on
real fast.
1229
00:51:48,231 --> 00:51:49,482
[sighs]
1230
00:51:54,195 --> 00:51:56,823
- [dog barking distantly]
- [birds chirping]
1231
00:52:16,843 --> 00:52:17,885
[sighs]
1232
00:52:20,346 --> 00:52:22,473
Keep your hands up. Pop!
1233
00:52:22,598 --> 00:52:24,517
I don't wanna see you cry.
Don't flinch.
1234
00:52:32,775 --> 00:52:34,735
[sentimental music playing]
1235
00:53:05,766 --> 00:53:06,934
[woman] Hey, honey.
1236
00:53:08,311 --> 00:53:09,395
Hey, Mom.
1237
00:53:11,022 --> 00:53:12,565
Hey, lookie there.
1238
00:53:12,690 --> 00:53:14,650
[chuckles]
1239
00:53:18,946 --> 00:53:19,989
Oh.
1240
00:53:22,491 --> 00:53:24,785
He loved that scrapbook.
1241
00:53:25,912 --> 00:53:28,581
I... I had no idea he had...
1242
00:53:31,709 --> 00:53:33,628
- I found this.
- Mmm.
1243
00:53:34,170 --> 00:53:35,212
That was his.
1244
00:53:36,756 --> 00:53:37,840
Dad had a Bible?
1245
00:53:37,965 --> 00:53:39,800
- Mm-hmm. He did.
- [scoffs]
1246
00:53:40,426 --> 00:53:42,011
Finally got to him, huh?
1247
00:53:43,137 --> 00:53:45,139
Found a lot to help him
in here.
1248
00:53:45,973 --> 00:53:47,934
[pages rustle]
1249
00:53:48,059 --> 00:53:51,395
It was tough watching you two,
those last few years.
1250
00:53:52,521 --> 00:53:55,399
He wanted to talk to you,
you know, wanted it...
1251
00:53:55,524 --> 00:53:57,944
more than practically anything.
1252
00:53:58,069 --> 00:53:59,028
Yeah, well...
1253
00:53:59,737 --> 00:54:01,656
he sure had a funny way
of showing it.
1254
00:54:06,202 --> 00:54:08,204
I don't want for Eileen
to be standing
1255
00:54:08,329 --> 00:54:09,622
where I am one day,
1256
00:54:10,790 --> 00:54:13,209
hearing all that silence
and regret
1257
00:54:14,794 --> 00:54:16,212
when there should be love.
1258
00:54:21,968 --> 00:54:23,302
I'll see you inside.
1259
00:54:40,903 --> 00:54:42,780
[Mike's dad] Let me see that
left hook. Come on, Mike!
1260
00:54:42,905 --> 00:54:45,032
- [loud thudding]
- [grunting]
1261
00:54:45,157 --> 00:54:47,702
- [grunts]
- [yells, grunts]
1262
00:54:47,827 --> 00:54:49,745
- [yelling]
- You're a runt, Mike.
1263
00:54:49,870 --> 00:54:51,038
- A little runt.
- [grunts]
1264
00:54:51,163 --> 00:54:52,748
[Mike] Come on, son. Man up.
1265
00:54:52,873 --> 00:54:54,500
- Take a few shots.
- I want you to hit me, Mike.
1266
00:54:54,625 --> 00:54:57,378
[grunting]
1267
00:54:57,503 --> 00:54:58,838
[Mike's dad] Let me see that
left hook. Come on, Mike!
1268
00:54:58,963 --> 00:55:00,506
Turns out,
you're still just a runt.
1269
00:55:00,631 --> 00:55:02,341
You wanna play football
like your daddy, right?
1270
00:55:02,466 --> 00:55:03,718
- Yes, Dad.
- Come on, Micah!
1271
00:55:03,843 --> 00:55:04,927
You can do better than that.
1272
00:55:05,052 --> 00:55:06,012
- I can't.
- Don't quit on me!
1273
00:55:06,804 --> 00:55:08,014
- Come on.
- Hit me.
1274
00:55:08,139 --> 00:55:09,515
- Hit me. Tougher.
- I can't.
1275
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,058
Come on, you got it.
Hit me harder.
1276
00:55:11,183 --> 00:55:12,601
Keep going. Come on.
1277
00:55:13,811 --> 00:55:15,855
Get mean, Micah.
Don't quit on me.
1278
00:55:22,778 --> 00:55:25,698
[Micah] Something happened
to my dad on that day.
1279
00:55:27,992 --> 00:55:29,285
[line rings]
1280
00:55:29,869 --> 00:55:32,038
Hey there.
This is Micah Flynt.
1281
00:55:32,163 --> 00:55:34,040
I'm not around.
Please leave a word.
1282
00:55:34,165 --> 00:55:35,708
- [beeps]
- [Mike] Hey, hoss man.
1283
00:55:35,833 --> 00:55:37,293
Uh, it's Dad, uh...
1284
00:55:37,418 --> 00:55:40,087
I was just thinking about you
and I wanted to say hi.
1285
00:55:40,212 --> 00:55:41,464
Hope to hear from you.
1286
00:55:42,590 --> 00:55:44,133
[Micah] Maybe it was seeing
1287
00:55:44,258 --> 00:55:46,427
his father's prayer
for forgiveness.
1288
00:55:49,555 --> 00:55:51,182
- Or maybe...
- [grunts]
1289
00:55:51,307 --> 00:55:53,392
...it was realizing
that he had become his father.
1290
00:55:53,517 --> 00:55:55,102
[coach] Whip right, X42, drive.
1291
00:55:55,227 --> 00:55:56,937
- Got it? Alright, go.
- Got it.
1292
00:55:57,021 --> 00:55:58,064
[Micah] Either way...
1293
00:55:58,773 --> 00:56:00,858
- Let's go!
- ...at 59 years old,
1294
00:56:01,859 --> 00:56:03,152
it's not every day
that you get
1295
00:56:03,277 --> 00:56:04,653
a second chance at life.
1296
00:56:05,154 --> 00:56:07,198
- [Mike] That's it, Jeremy!
- [both yell]
1297
00:56:07,323 --> 00:56:09,909
- [indistinct shouting]
- Whoo-hoo!
1298
00:56:10,034 --> 00:56:11,535
Gotta let the kids score
every now and then
1299
00:56:11,660 --> 00:56:12,995
'cause it's good
for their self-esteem.
1300
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:14,914
- Man, shut up.
- That's real generous. Right?
1301
00:56:15,039 --> 00:56:16,415
- You know what you doing.
- [laughter]
1302
00:56:16,540 --> 00:56:18,042
[Micah] And Mike Flynt,
1303
00:56:18,793 --> 00:56:20,503
well, he wasn't about
to waste it.
1304
00:56:21,587 --> 00:56:24,840
- [hopeful music playing]
- [panting]
1305
00:56:24,965 --> 00:56:26,509
- Dig, dig, dig, dig.
- Look at that, huh?
1306
00:56:26,634 --> 00:56:28,010
- Yup.
- I'm gettin' it.
1307
00:56:28,135 --> 00:56:29,345
They ain't ready
for this comeback.
1308
00:56:30,096 --> 00:56:31,430
[Mike grunting]
1309
00:56:32,807 --> 00:56:34,809
[music swells]
1310
00:56:34,934 --> 00:56:38,145
Yeah! [grunting]
1311
00:56:38,270 --> 00:56:41,357
[huffing]
1312
00:56:51,033 --> 00:56:52,118
[sighs] Yeah.
1313
00:56:59,834 --> 00:57:01,043
Yeah!
1314
00:57:01,168 --> 00:57:02,211
Yeah!
1315
00:57:02,336 --> 00:57:06,215
[tense music playing]
1316
00:57:06,340 --> 00:57:08,425
[players]
One, two, three, four!
1317
00:57:08,551 --> 00:57:09,510
[grunts]
1318
00:57:10,052 --> 00:57:12,471
You remember what
the doctor said. No contact.
1319
00:57:12,596 --> 00:57:14,682
We're gonna put you through
a few drills to evaluate you.
1320
00:57:14,807 --> 00:57:16,267
- Yes, sir.
- Go get 'em, hoss.
1321
00:57:18,644 --> 00:57:20,604
- Hey! What's up, old-timer?
- Hey.
1322
00:57:20,729 --> 00:57:22,523
[chuckles]
Hey, look, Mike's back!
1323
00:57:22,648 --> 00:57:24,525
[all cheer]
1324
00:57:24,650 --> 00:57:26,152
You the man, Mike!
1325
00:57:26,277 --> 00:57:27,486
Set. Go.
1326
00:57:27,611 --> 00:57:29,780
- [whistle tweets]
- [grunts]
1327
00:57:29,905 --> 00:57:31,574
Ball. Nice.
1328
00:57:31,699 --> 00:57:32,950
Dig, Mike. Dig, dig, dig.
1329
00:57:33,075 --> 00:57:34,493
Come on, come on, come on!
Yeah!
1330
00:57:35,119 --> 00:57:37,079
[grunting]
1331
00:57:37,913 --> 00:57:39,707
- Heavy hands.
- [grunts]
1332
00:57:39,832 --> 00:57:41,041
- Yeah.
- [grunts]
1333
00:57:48,507 --> 00:57:51,343
[hopeful music continues]
1334
00:57:59,185 --> 00:58:00,186
You okay?
1335
00:58:00,311 --> 00:58:01,729
Sure. [chuckles]
1336
00:58:01,854 --> 00:58:03,397
I can't tell which is better,
1337
00:58:03,522 --> 00:58:05,274
the pain or the numbness.
1338
00:58:05,441 --> 00:58:08,110
You know, uh, nobody here
will think any less of you
1339
00:58:08,235 --> 00:58:09,403
if you take it a bit easy.
1340
00:58:09,528 --> 00:58:11,238
Don't you start with me,
Jeremy.
1341
00:58:12,156 --> 00:58:13,657
Hey, I'm just giving you
some love.
1342
00:58:16,785 --> 00:58:18,454
Aw, you poor baby.
1343
00:58:19,330 --> 00:58:20,623
Washed-up has-been.
1344
00:58:20,748 --> 00:58:21,874
[Jeremy] Hey!
1345
00:58:21,999 --> 00:58:23,167
Disrespect Mike again,
1346
00:58:23,751 --> 00:58:26,337
I'll rip your arm off
and I'll beat your ass with it.
1347
00:58:26,462 --> 00:58:27,630
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
1348
00:58:27,755 --> 00:58:29,340
- Yeah?
- That's right.
1349
00:58:31,050 --> 00:58:33,385
[Weston] That's it for the day.
Hit the showers!
1350
00:58:33,510 --> 00:58:35,554
- Be seeing you.
- It's alright, Mike.
1351
00:58:38,474 --> 00:58:39,308
Flynt.
1352
00:58:44,188 --> 00:58:45,189
Yes, Coach?
1353
00:58:47,024 --> 00:58:50,402
What-what is this beef between
you and Stanton, anyway?
1354
00:58:50,527 --> 00:58:51,612
It's nothing, Coach.
1355
00:58:52,446 --> 00:58:53,864
It's for us to resolve.
1356
00:58:55,908 --> 00:58:57,243
Okay. Well, how you feelin'?
1357
00:58:57,368 --> 00:58:59,161
- I'm great.
- Yeah. Hey.
1358
00:59:00,412 --> 00:59:01,997
I'm giving you
the green light, Flynt.
1359
00:59:03,749 --> 00:59:04,917
Not to play,
1360
00:59:05,542 --> 00:59:07,586
but to travel with us
in full uniform.
1361
00:59:08,295 --> 00:59:09,129
Thank you, Coach.
1362
00:59:09,255 --> 00:59:10,381
Yeah. Alright.
1363
00:59:10,881 --> 00:59:11,924
Alright. Get outta here.
1364
00:59:13,634 --> 00:59:14,927
- [thunder rumbles]
- [whistle blows]
1365
00:59:15,052 --> 00:59:16,929
I thought about what
you asked me the other day,
1366
00:59:17,429 --> 00:59:19,265
and you know, I think...
1367
00:59:20,057 --> 00:59:22,017
the greatest
football movie ever?
1368
00:59:22,142 --> 00:59:23,227
It's The Longest Yard.
1369
00:59:23,727 --> 00:59:25,020
- Good one. Great one.
- Yeah.
1370
00:59:25,145 --> 00:59:26,772
But you gotta check out
1371
00:59:27,439 --> 00:59:28,732
North Dallas Forty.
1372
00:59:29,275 --> 00:59:30,734
- North Dallas Forty?
- Yeah.
1373
00:59:31,527 --> 00:59:34,238
I'll give it a try, bro.
I don't know, man.
1374
00:59:34,363 --> 00:59:36,115
The Longest Yard... [chuckles]
1375
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:37,616
- ...that cracks me up, man.
- Yeah.
1376
00:59:38,993 --> 00:59:40,286
Adam Sandler, man. He the man.
1377
00:59:40,411 --> 00:59:42,204
Adam Sandler?
He wasn't even born
1378
00:59:42,329 --> 00:59:43,372
when that movie was made.
1379
00:59:43,497 --> 00:59:44,873
Burt Reynolds starred
in that movie.
1380
00:59:44,999 --> 00:59:46,667
- He's the man.
- We need a trainer!
1381
00:59:46,792 --> 00:59:49,044
- Doc! Get over here!
- It's Jamal!
1382
00:59:49,169 --> 00:59:50,337
- Jamal!
- Trainer!
1383
00:59:50,963 --> 00:59:53,299
{\an8}- Jamal!
- [panicked crying]
1384
00:59:53,424 --> 00:59:55,843
- Hey, hey, hey. Listen.
- Everybody, real slow.
1385
00:59:55,968 --> 00:59:57,094
- You good?
- Real slow.
1386
00:59:57,219 --> 00:59:58,721
- Answer Doc's question.
- [crying]
1387
00:59:58,846 --> 01:00:00,514
[thunder crashing]
1388
01:00:01,849 --> 01:00:02,850
[Jeremy speaks indistinctly]
1389
01:00:03,350 --> 01:00:05,477
Ain't that crazy?
But with you out the game,
1390
01:00:06,020 --> 01:00:08,439
- guess who's gotta be the hero.
- [Mike laughs]
1391
01:00:09,857 --> 01:00:12,026
- Hey, Mike.
- Hey. Hey, champ.
1392
01:00:13,152 --> 01:00:15,154
Let's see if you can make
this man smile.
1393
01:00:15,279 --> 01:00:16,113
[Mike] Uh-oh.
1394
01:00:18,699 --> 01:00:19,700
What's up?
1395
01:00:21,660 --> 01:00:23,329
I'm sorry y'all came
all the way out here.
1396
01:00:23,954 --> 01:00:24,955
Aw.
1397
01:00:26,332 --> 01:00:28,000
Mike, you know
what they told me, man?
1398
01:00:28,125 --> 01:00:30,544
They said I might never play
football again.
1399
01:00:30,669 --> 01:00:32,296
[somber music playing]
1400
01:00:34,923 --> 01:00:36,925
I'm the first in my family
to go to college.
1401
01:00:39,428 --> 01:00:40,471
I'm supposed to go pro.
1402
01:00:40,596 --> 01:00:42,556
[exhales]
Well, you better go pro
1403
01:00:42,681 --> 01:00:44,266
'cause you ain't making it
as a rapper.
1404
01:00:44,391 --> 01:00:46,393
Yeah, I'll be taking over
that too.
1405
01:00:46,518 --> 01:00:47,853
[laughter]
1406
01:00:47,978 --> 01:00:48,812
Hey, Jamal.
1407
01:00:49,355 --> 01:00:51,607
Listen, going pro is
a long shot for anyone,
1408
01:00:51,732 --> 01:00:53,984
but no one knows
whether you're gonna get out
1409
01:00:54,109 --> 01:00:55,402
on that field again but you.
1410
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:57,571
You work hard,
1411
01:00:57,696 --> 01:00:59,239
you'll get out there again.
1412
01:00:59,365 --> 01:01:00,824
But how do you know that?
1413
01:01:00,949 --> 01:01:02,659
Ever met a linebacker my age?
1414
01:01:02,785 --> 01:01:04,411
I'm back on the field.
1415
01:01:05,079 --> 01:01:06,705
And when you get out of here,
1416
01:01:06,830 --> 01:01:09,249
I expect you to be out there
rooting for me, right?
1417
01:01:09,375 --> 01:01:11,585
That first tackle,
it's gonna be for you.
1418
01:01:13,212 --> 01:01:15,672
I pity the fool
that go against you, Mike.
1419
01:01:17,758 --> 01:01:19,885
- [intense music playing]
- [players yelling]
1420
01:01:20,010 --> 01:01:21,595
[announcer]
And here come the Lobos,
1421
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:25,599
and with them is 59-year-old
linebacker Mike Flynt,
1422
01:01:25,724 --> 01:01:27,893
who has yet to make
an appearance this year,
1423
01:01:28,018 --> 01:01:30,687
but is dressed
and finally cleared to play,
1424
01:01:30,813 --> 01:01:33,565
which is likely why
this sold-out crowd
1425
01:01:33,690 --> 01:01:34,983
is on their feet,
1426
01:01:35,109 --> 01:01:37,194
hoping that today
will be the day.
1427
01:01:37,319 --> 01:01:39,488
Let's go, boys!
Hey, Kyle. You got this, man.
1428
01:01:39,613 --> 01:01:41,698
[announcer] Braddick.
Shotgun snap. Drops back.
1429
01:01:41,824 --> 01:01:43,117
- [grunts]
- Hey!
1430
01:01:43,242 --> 01:01:44,243
- Oof.
- Incomplete.
1431
01:01:44,368 --> 01:01:45,327
That's pass interference.
1432
01:01:45,452 --> 01:01:46,787
It's way early.
1433
01:01:46,912 --> 01:01:48,414
What the-- [yells]
1434
01:01:48,539 --> 01:01:50,040
Hey! Jeremy.
1435
01:01:50,165 --> 01:01:51,834
[announcer] Jeremy Cartwright
is not happy.
1436
01:01:51,959 --> 01:01:53,210
- That's enough.
- No flag on the play.
1437
01:01:53,335 --> 01:01:54,878
He's looking
for an interference call.
1438
01:01:55,003 --> 01:01:55,963
Hey. Come on, Jeremy.
1439
01:01:56,088 --> 01:01:58,006
- Mike! Mike!
- Come on now. I know.
1440
01:01:58,132 --> 01:01:59,716
What is wrong with these guys?
1441
01:01:59,842 --> 01:02:01,927
[announcer] ...looking for
anything on offense.
1442
01:02:02,052 --> 01:02:03,804
Braddick under center.
He drops back.
1443
01:02:04,930 --> 01:02:07,182
Gets flushed to his left,
sets his feet.
1444
01:02:07,307 --> 01:02:08,517
Yeah, that's it! Good--
1445
01:02:08,642 --> 01:02:11,186
Oh! Ref, come on!
Throw the flag!
1446
01:02:11,311 --> 01:02:13,814
- That looked late to me.
- Come on, Ref!
1447
01:02:13,939 --> 01:02:16,400
- You didn't see that?
- Refs, open your eyes!
1448
01:02:16,525 --> 01:02:18,068
Stevie Wonder
could've seen that!
1449
01:02:18,193 --> 01:02:19,820
[announcer] The Lobos sideline
not happy.
1450
01:02:19,945 --> 01:02:21,780
- No flag on the play.
- The play was dead!
1451
01:02:21,905 --> 01:02:23,407
Hut! Go!
1452
01:02:23,532 --> 01:02:24,908
Go, Jeremy. Go, Jeremy.
1453
01:02:25,033 --> 01:02:26,326
[announcer] He hurdles
a player.
1454
01:02:26,452 --> 01:02:28,036
Makes room to the side. Oh!
1455
01:02:28,162 --> 01:02:29,329
- Oh my!
- [groans]
1456
01:02:29,455 --> 01:02:32,040
That has got be
a personal foul.
1457
01:02:32,166 --> 01:02:33,417
What is going on?
1458
01:02:33,542 --> 01:02:34,793
You're not calling that?
1459
01:02:34,918 --> 01:02:36,128
Are you kidding me right now?
1460
01:02:36,253 --> 01:02:38,005
Come on now! He's three yards
out of bounds--
1461
01:02:38,130 --> 01:02:40,424
[announcer] Mike Flynt
has gone on the field
1462
01:02:40,549 --> 01:02:42,759
- arguing for his teammate.
- [crowd chanting] We want Mike!
1463
01:02:42,885 --> 01:02:44,386
We want Mike!
1464
01:02:44,511 --> 01:02:46,054
We want Mike!
1465
01:02:46,180 --> 01:02:47,639
We want Mike!
1466
01:02:47,764 --> 01:02:50,058
[announcer] We're starting
to hear from the stands...
1467
01:02:50,184 --> 01:02:52,102
- We want Mike!
- ...calling for Mike Flynt
1468
01:02:52,227 --> 01:02:53,479
to get into the game.
1469
01:02:53,604 --> 01:02:56,607
[crowd] We want Mike!
We want Mike!
1470
01:02:56,773 --> 01:02:59,401
[Weston] That was embarrassing!
I'll see y'all tomorrow,
1471
01:02:59,526 --> 01:03:01,445
Sunday, 6:00 a.m. for doubles.
1472
01:03:01,570 --> 01:03:02,863
And bring your running shoes
1473
01:03:02,988 --> 01:03:04,615
'cause they are getting
a workout.
1474
01:03:11,497 --> 01:03:12,372
Hey, Coach.
1475
01:03:13,916 --> 01:03:14,833
Mrs. Flynt.
1476
01:03:16,043 --> 01:03:17,544
The name's Eileen.
1477
01:03:18,337 --> 01:03:19,463
Eileen.
1478
01:03:21,590 --> 01:03:22,633
Tough game.
1479
01:03:23,759 --> 01:03:24,676
Yeah.
1480
01:03:25,844 --> 01:03:27,971
You should've played him today.
1481
01:03:28,555 --> 01:03:29,640
You know what?
1482
01:03:29,765 --> 01:03:32,017
When I go in
to have my patience tested,
1483
01:03:32,142 --> 01:03:34,520
the results
are always negative.
1484
01:03:35,646 --> 01:03:36,647
That's funny.
1485
01:03:36,772 --> 01:03:38,398
Yeah. I'll be here all week.
1486
01:03:40,108 --> 01:03:41,443
Have a good night, Mrs. Flynt.
1487
01:03:41,568 --> 01:03:43,403
- [car door slams]
- [engine starts]
1488
01:03:52,746 --> 01:03:54,164
What was that all about?
1489
01:03:54,289 --> 01:03:56,041
I'm fine, thank you.
How are you?
1490
01:03:56,166 --> 01:03:57,834
Just get in the car, Eileen.
1491
01:03:57,960 --> 01:03:58,877
Pardon me?
1492
01:03:59,795 --> 01:04:01,046
I said get in the car.
1493
01:04:01,171 --> 01:04:02,089
Let's go.
1494
01:04:02,756 --> 01:04:03,966
Oh, no.
1495
01:04:04,091 --> 01:04:06,343
You can talk to the refs
that way. Not me.
1496
01:04:06,468 --> 01:04:08,220
Come on, Eileen.
I'm just not in the mood.
1497
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:09,555
Oh, really?
1498
01:04:10,556 --> 01:04:12,015
Well, I'm not getting
in the car with you
1499
01:04:12,140 --> 01:04:13,517
when you're like that.
1500
01:04:13,642 --> 01:04:16,061
Fine, then you drive
yourself home.
1501
01:04:18,021 --> 01:04:20,232
[dramatic music playing]
1502
01:04:23,610 --> 01:04:24,486
Really?
1503
01:04:28,282 --> 01:04:29,491
[engine starts]
1504
01:04:30,033 --> 01:04:31,159
You're just gonna go?
1505
01:04:32,077 --> 01:04:33,829
- [annoyed grunt]
- [tires screech]
1506
01:04:33,954 --> 01:04:35,038
Eileen!
1507
01:04:39,084 --> 01:04:40,002
[sighs]
1508
01:04:43,630 --> 01:04:44,590
Mike...
1509
01:04:47,175 --> 01:04:48,635
Stupid hothead.
1510
01:04:53,348 --> 01:04:54,266
- Hey.
- Hey.
1511
01:04:55,684 --> 01:04:56,518
Hey.
1512
01:04:58,562 --> 01:05:00,105
They should have played you
tonight, Mike.
1513
01:05:01,189 --> 01:05:02,107
Yeah.
1514
01:05:04,276 --> 01:05:06,361
[dramatic music playing]
1515
01:05:06,486 --> 01:05:09,114
Thanks for the ride, Jeremy.
1516
01:05:09,239 --> 01:05:11,241
I was proud of you today.
1517
01:05:11,366 --> 01:05:13,785
- Thanks. Have a good night.
- Yeah.
1518
01:05:22,461 --> 01:05:23,295
[door handle jangles]
1519
01:05:27,758 --> 01:05:28,925
Eileen?
1520
01:05:38,518 --> 01:05:39,811
[sighs]
1521
01:05:41,855 --> 01:05:44,358
[vehicle approaching]
1522
01:05:53,867 --> 01:05:55,327
[Mike exhales]
1523
01:05:58,747 --> 01:06:01,583
[keys unlocking door]
1524
01:06:01,708 --> 01:06:03,126
[door creaks open]
1525
01:06:03,251 --> 01:06:04,836
[Eileen scoffs]
1526
01:06:07,255 --> 01:06:08,965
Yeah, they finally came.
1527
01:06:10,217 --> 01:06:11,635
For the game.
1528
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,053
Wanted to surprise you.
1529
01:06:17,974 --> 01:06:19,851
I'm sorry I yelled at you.
1530
01:06:20,769 --> 01:06:22,145
Thank you.
1531
01:06:22,270 --> 01:06:24,147
Honestly, Eileen--
1532
01:06:24,272 --> 01:06:27,901
You never once asked me
if this lunatic mission
1533
01:06:28,026 --> 01:06:29,361
you're on was okay with me.
1534
01:06:29,486 --> 01:06:32,030
- Of course, I did.
- No, that is a load of bull!
1535
01:06:32,906 --> 01:06:34,950
You made a decision.
You're good at that.
1536
01:06:35,075 --> 01:06:36,993
You made a decision
and we all have to follow you
1537
01:06:37,119 --> 01:06:39,246
no matter
what the ramifications.
1538
01:06:39,371 --> 01:06:41,164
- And they can be pretty severe.
- [sighs]
1539
01:06:41,289 --> 01:06:43,375
- I'm sorry, babe.
- No, listen.
1540
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,253
Listen to me.
1541
01:06:50,173 --> 01:06:54,469
Because, believe it or not,
tonight, I almost left you.
1542
01:06:54,594 --> 01:06:58,390
I got in that truck
and I just drove.
1543
01:06:58,515 --> 01:07:01,685
Then I thought about it,
and I'm a West Texas girl.
1544
01:07:01,810 --> 01:07:04,646
I don't turn tail,
so I came back. [chuckles]
1545
01:07:05,564 --> 01:07:07,399
Because I made a decision
of my own.
1546
01:07:10,652 --> 01:07:13,739
I'm with you on this.
1547
01:07:15,157 --> 01:07:18,076
I know why you have to do this
1548
01:07:18,201 --> 01:07:19,995
and if Coach puts you
in that game,
1549
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,957
and we both know that's
a big if, I'm with you
1550
01:07:25,542 --> 01:07:28,336
with all my heart
and sincerity.
1551
01:07:30,630 --> 01:07:32,591
On three conditions.
1552
01:07:33,759 --> 01:07:35,719
[sighs] First:
1553
01:07:37,429 --> 01:07:39,306
you don't ever make a decision
1554
01:07:39,431 --> 01:07:42,517
that affects all of us
without asking me,
1555
01:07:42,642 --> 01:07:44,895
not telling, asking me first.
1556
01:07:46,605 --> 01:07:49,232
And two: you continue
to suit up
1557
01:07:49,357 --> 01:07:52,861
and pray to God
that you finish this season
1558
01:07:52,986 --> 01:07:55,363
because if you don't,
you are not gonna be able
1559
01:07:55,489 --> 01:07:57,741
to live with yourself
and then none of us can.
1560
01:07:59,868 --> 01:08:01,244
And the third?
1561
01:08:03,789 --> 01:08:05,040
Promise me...
1562
01:08:06,917 --> 01:08:09,211
you promise me... [sighs]
1563
01:08:09,336 --> 01:08:11,963
...that you're not gonna do
anything out on that field
1564
01:08:12,088 --> 01:08:13,715
that you are not certain
that you can do.
1565
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,134
What? I can do it all.
1566
01:08:16,259 --> 01:08:19,012
- No, you cannot do it all.
- I swear I can.
1567
01:08:19,137 --> 01:08:22,641
You cannot,
you stubborn old man.
1568
01:08:22,766 --> 01:08:24,142
Now promise me.
1569
01:08:25,977 --> 01:08:27,604
Because that...
1570
01:08:28,814 --> 01:08:30,232
I believe in.
1571
01:08:31,191 --> 01:08:32,859
Your promises.
1572
01:08:32,984 --> 01:08:34,402
[solemn music playing]
1573
01:08:38,490 --> 01:08:40,200
I promise.
1574
01:08:46,081 --> 01:08:48,500
Oh, good, Mike.
You're still here. Thank you.
1575
01:08:48,625 --> 01:08:50,168
Sorry I'm late. No, no. Sit.
1576
01:08:50,293 --> 01:08:51,545
I was
at the chancellor's office.
1577
01:08:51,670 --> 01:08:56,299
It seems that Fernie
is, uh, failing philosophy.
1578
01:08:57,425 --> 01:09:00,011
Yeah, a class that I think
even Plato would agree
1579
01:09:00,136 --> 01:09:03,390
he, uh, does not need
and should not have taken.
1580
01:09:03,515 --> 01:09:07,936
Uh... But you,
how are you feelin'?
1581
01:09:08,061 --> 01:09:10,021
- Great.
- Mm-hmm.
1582
01:09:10,146 --> 01:09:11,815
You'd say that
even if you weren't.
1583
01:09:11,940 --> 01:09:13,191
[laughs]
1584
01:09:13,358 --> 01:09:17,445
Now, Mike, you know
Kevin Everett, right?
1585
01:09:17,571 --> 01:09:18,655
Tight end for the Bills.
1586
01:09:18,780 --> 01:09:20,782
That's right.
For the Bills. Yeah.
1587
01:09:20,907 --> 01:09:22,158
And did you see that game?
1588
01:09:23,660 --> 01:09:24,828
I did, sir.
1589
01:09:24,953 --> 01:09:26,997
He fractured his spine
right on that field.
1590
01:09:28,957 --> 01:09:33,461
Laying there, only thing
he could move was his eyeballs.
1591
01:09:35,547 --> 01:09:36,590
Mike...
1592
01:09:38,174 --> 01:09:40,093
if something were to happen
to you, if you got hurt,
1593
01:09:41,678 --> 01:09:44,848
it would destroy every soul
on this team forever.
1594
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,102
You know that.
They'd never be the same.
1595
01:09:49,227 --> 01:09:52,856
[clears throat] And it would
destroy mine as well.
1596
01:09:52,981 --> 01:09:56,026
[dramatic music playing]
1597
01:09:58,111 --> 01:09:59,279
Yes, sir.
1598
01:09:59,404 --> 01:10:01,531
There's one game left
in the season, Mike.
1599
01:10:01,656 --> 01:10:05,952
So, tell me, what can you do?
1600
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:11,291
Uh...
1601
01:10:13,084 --> 01:10:15,712
I can be your blocking back
for your field goal team.
1602
01:10:15,837 --> 01:10:17,797
Last game you had two
field goals blocked.
1603
01:10:17,923 --> 01:10:21,176
No one's gonna run over me.
I guarantee you that.
1604
01:10:24,304 --> 01:10:25,513
Hmm.
1605
01:10:28,141 --> 01:10:29,059
Okay.
1606
01:10:31,478 --> 01:10:32,479
Okay?
1607
01:10:37,192 --> 01:10:39,277
[Eileen]
Brought your water bottle.
1608
01:10:39,402 --> 01:10:41,821
[exhales] Thanks, darlin'.
1609
01:10:41,947 --> 01:10:43,239
What's this?
1610
01:10:48,286 --> 01:10:50,705
I didn't know your daddy
had a Bible.
1611
01:10:51,665 --> 01:10:54,501
Mama gave it to me
the last time I was there.
1612
01:10:54,626 --> 01:10:57,087
Who would've thought, huh?
1613
01:11:00,006 --> 01:11:00,924
[Mike grunts]
1614
01:11:04,594 --> 01:11:07,222
[lawnmower rumbles]
1615
01:11:09,724 --> 01:11:10,642
Micah?
1616
01:11:12,060 --> 01:11:12,894
Micah!
1617
01:11:14,521 --> 01:11:16,314
Mom, what... what happened?
1618
01:11:16,481 --> 01:11:18,274
No, nothing. Nothing happened.
1619
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,652
I just wanted to come ask you
for a favor.
1620
01:11:20,777 --> 01:11:25,740
I know that you and your father
haven't spoken in some time
1621
01:11:25,865 --> 01:11:28,868
and the trainers have cleared
him to play tomorrow
1622
01:11:28,994 --> 01:11:32,706
and I think you should be
at the game and watch.
1623
01:11:32,831 --> 01:11:34,874
I don't wanna watch him
break his neck.
1624
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:36,501
He won't. [chuckles]
1625
01:11:36,626 --> 01:11:38,461
- He made me a promise.
- A promise?
1626
01:11:38,586 --> 01:11:40,005
Mm-hmm.
1627
01:11:40,130 --> 01:11:42,924
The Mike Flynt Reunion Tour,
it's...
1628
01:11:44,009 --> 01:11:45,468
might be the most selfish
thing I've ever seen.
1629
01:11:45,593 --> 01:11:49,389
No, it isn't about him
being selfish, honey, it's...
1630
01:11:51,099 --> 01:11:51,933
It's about regret.
1631
01:11:52,058 --> 01:11:53,309
Regret for what?
1632
01:11:53,435 --> 01:11:55,145
About all sorts of things,
Micah.
1633
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:58,106
Him and his dad.
1634
01:11:58,231 --> 01:11:59,941
- Him and football.
- Mm.
1635
01:12:00,692 --> 01:12:02,569
Him and you.
1636
01:12:02,694 --> 01:12:06,531
He has a chance
to redo his senior year
1637
01:12:06,656 --> 01:12:09,951
and it's a chance to let go
of that regret,
1638
01:12:10,076 --> 01:12:11,745
and maybe if he
lets go of that regret,
1639
01:12:11,870 --> 01:12:14,372
he'll start to be able
to let go of the other ones.
1640
01:12:14,497 --> 01:12:16,458
He wants to be a better man.
1641
01:12:17,625 --> 01:12:19,419
Better father most of all.
1642
01:12:20,211 --> 01:12:21,921
I'm 27 years old.
1643
01:12:23,089 --> 01:12:24,591
It's a little late. [scoffs]
1644
01:12:24,716 --> 01:12:26,342
And he wants me to forgive him
1645
01:12:26,468 --> 01:12:28,553
for being the father
he's always been now?
1646
01:12:28,678 --> 01:12:30,138
I know, I get that.
1647
01:12:30,847 --> 01:12:33,475
And I do not blame you
for being frustrated.
1648
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:35,310
He's never said sorry to me,
1649
01:12:36,394 --> 01:12:39,397
not once, about anything.
1650
01:12:39,522 --> 01:12:41,483
- He wasn't brought up that way.
- Yeah, neither--
1651
01:12:44,027 --> 01:12:45,487
Neither was I.
1652
01:12:45,612 --> 01:12:47,322
[somber music playing]
1653
01:12:47,447 --> 01:12:49,491
This game tomorrow,
1654
01:12:50,992 --> 01:12:53,828
it's a second chance, Micah.
1655
01:12:56,790 --> 01:12:59,375
I just think it would mean
a lot to him.
1656
01:13:00,502 --> 01:13:01,878
He's my father.
1657
01:13:04,339 --> 01:13:08,051
It's not my job
to heal him of his sins.
1658
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,226
Fifty-nine-year-old Mike Flynt
made national headlines
1659
01:13:16,351 --> 01:13:19,521
walking on the team at Sul Ross
State in Alpine, Texas.
1660
01:13:19,646 --> 01:13:22,357
A quest that began
some 35 years ago ends
1661
01:13:22,482 --> 01:13:24,526
in the season finale
on Senior Day.
1662
01:13:25,443 --> 01:13:27,362
Mike, how does it feel to be
back on the gridiron?
1663
01:13:27,487 --> 01:13:30,907
It's a dream, a dream
I've had for a long time.
1664
01:13:31,032 --> 01:13:34,369
Now, almost four decades later,
the Division III college
1665
01:13:34,494 --> 01:13:36,621
and the current head coach
are giving him another chance.
1666
01:13:36,746 --> 01:13:38,289
[reporter] The question
the entire nation
1667
01:13:38,414 --> 01:13:39,624
is asking themselves,
1668
01:13:39,749 --> 01:13:41,501
is tonight the night
1669
01:13:41,626 --> 01:13:43,503
that Mike Flynt will finally
get a chance
1670
01:13:43,628 --> 01:13:46,589
to secure his name
in the history books?
1671
01:13:46,714 --> 01:13:48,550
[announcer] It's a beautiful
night here at Jackson Field,
1672
01:13:48,675 --> 01:13:51,886
the final game of the season
where the Sul Ross Lobos,
1673
01:13:52,011 --> 01:13:54,389
5-5, take on their rivals,
1674
01:13:54,514 --> 01:13:56,683
the 10-0
Texas Lutheran Bulldogs.
1675
01:13:56,808 --> 01:13:57,976
It's a sold-out crowd
1676
01:13:58,101 --> 01:14:00,478
where everyone has come
to see Mike Flynt,
1677
01:14:00,603 --> 01:14:02,021
the 59-year-old linebacker
1678
01:14:02,147 --> 01:14:04,232
who has been plagued
with injuries all season.
1679
01:14:04,357 --> 01:14:08,403
[game announcer] And now
the 2007 Sul Ross Lobos.
1680
01:14:08,528 --> 01:14:10,071
[announcer] And if
Mike Flynt plays tonight,
1681
01:14:10,196 --> 01:14:12,240
he will be the oldest
college football player
1682
01:14:12,365 --> 01:14:13,908
to ever step on the gridiron.
1683
01:14:14,033 --> 01:14:17,912
Buckle your seat belts.
This should be a good one.
1684
01:14:18,037 --> 01:14:19,164
[whistle blows]
1685
01:14:19,289 --> 01:14:21,207
5:43 left
in the first quarter.
1686
01:14:21,332 --> 01:14:23,168
Tight left. [indistinct] Ready!
1687
01:14:23,293 --> 01:14:25,253
[announcer] Still 0-0.
1688
01:14:26,296 --> 01:14:28,089
The Lobos offense
backed up again,
1689
01:14:28,214 --> 01:14:29,465
deep in their own territory.
1690
01:14:29,591 --> 01:14:31,676
Watch that tight.
Watch that tight.
1691
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,221
Come on now, Cap!
Here you go, Kyle!
1692
01:14:35,346 --> 01:14:36,431
[announcer]
Kyle Braddick under center.
1693
01:14:36,556 --> 01:14:38,099
Green 18.
1694
01:14:38,224 --> 01:14:39,976
[announcer] That Bulldogs
defense shifting.
1695
01:14:42,270 --> 01:14:45,315
Ooh! Big hit!
And Willie Simmons...
1696
01:14:45,440 --> 01:14:46,608
It's alright, Kyle!
1697
01:14:46,733 --> 01:14:48,276
[announcer] ...with a huge hit
on Braddick,
1698
01:14:48,401 --> 01:14:50,445
his third sack of the night.
1699
01:14:50,570 --> 01:14:52,906
The Bulldogs'
All-American linebacker.
1700
01:14:53,031 --> 01:14:54,115
Let's go!
1701
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:55,742
It's alright! It's alright!
1702
01:14:55,867 --> 01:14:58,536
[announcer] That will
bring up a big third down
1703
01:14:58,661 --> 01:14:59,996
and long.
1704
01:15:01,539 --> 01:15:03,124
Braddick, back under center.
1705
01:15:03,249 --> 01:15:05,001
Gonna send a man
over in motion.
1706
01:15:05,126 --> 01:15:06,920
Left side, drops back.
1707
01:15:07,045 --> 01:15:08,588
From the center...
1708
01:15:08,713 --> 01:15:12,634
Picked off. That's Reefer,
free safety for the Bulldogs.
1709
01:15:13,676 --> 01:15:16,221
Down near the sideline,
cuts back at the 10,
1710
01:15:16,346 --> 01:15:17,931
into the end zone.
1711
01:15:18,056 --> 01:15:19,807
Touchdown, Texas Lutheran.
1712
01:15:21,726 --> 01:15:23,394
Just like that, the Bulldogs
1713
01:15:23,519 --> 01:15:25,313
get on the board first
with a pick six.
1714
01:15:25,438 --> 01:15:27,774
Braddick was looking
for Jeremy Cartwright
1715
01:15:27,899 --> 01:15:29,317
who is five catches away
1716
01:15:29,442 --> 01:15:31,402
from the school record
of 80 receptions.
1717
01:15:31,527 --> 01:15:35,990
Easier said than done going
against this Bulldog defense.
1718
01:15:36,115 --> 01:15:39,535
[suspenseful music playing]
1719
01:15:39,661 --> 01:15:41,913
1:45 left to go
in the first half.
1720
01:15:42,038 --> 01:15:44,415
{\an8}Bulldogs still up 7-0.
1721
01:15:44,540 --> 01:15:46,209
{\an8}And if this Lobo offense
1722
01:15:46,334 --> 01:15:49,254
{\an8}can't find a way to score or
get into field goal territory,
1723
01:15:49,379 --> 01:15:53,216
this sold-out crowd
may not get to see Mike Flynt
1724
01:15:53,341 --> 01:15:54,968
get into the final game
of the season.
1725
01:15:55,093 --> 01:15:56,511
You got this, men. Let's go.
1726
01:15:57,553 --> 01:15:58,721
[announcer] Here's the snap.
1727
01:16:00,223 --> 01:16:02,850
Jeremy Cartwright,
he makes a move inside.
1728
01:16:02,976 --> 01:16:04,269
Ball! Ball! Ball! Ball!
1729
01:16:04,394 --> 01:16:06,104
[announcer] It's loose!
Scramble for the ball.
1730
01:16:06,229 --> 01:16:08,982
[clamoring]
1731
01:16:09,107 --> 01:16:10,566
That's Lobos'! That's Lobos'!
1732
01:16:10,692 --> 01:16:13,736
That's Lobos' ball!
That's Lobos' ball! Lobos!
1733
01:16:14,404 --> 01:16:16,406
[announcer]
The Bulldogs have it!
1734
01:16:16,531 --> 01:16:17,824
[disappointed groans]
1735
01:16:17,949 --> 01:16:20,076
[announcer] With 1:25
left in the first half,
1736
01:16:20,201 --> 01:16:21,995
you've gotta wonder,
is time running out
1737
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,414
for Mike Flynt
and this Lobo team?
1738
01:16:24,539 --> 01:16:27,458
Is that ball broken?
You don't like it? Forget it.
1739
01:16:27,583 --> 01:16:29,460
Get out of my sight.
Get out of my sight.
1740
01:16:29,585 --> 01:16:32,338
Hey, we're still in this!
We're still in this!
1741
01:16:32,463 --> 01:16:34,716
[announcer] 1:25 to go
in the first half.
1742
01:16:34,841 --> 01:16:36,259
You get the feeling
that Hot Rod Harrison
1743
01:16:36,384 --> 01:16:37,719
won't waste this opportunity.
1744
01:16:37,844 --> 01:16:40,638
Shotgun snap. Harrison looking
down the middle.
1745
01:16:42,015 --> 01:16:43,766
Caught at the 25.
1746
01:16:43,891 --> 01:16:47,937
Inside the 20. Down
to the Lobos' 18-yard line.
1747
01:16:48,062 --> 01:16:50,023
Harrison's gonna hurry up
to the line of scrimmage,
1748
01:16:50,148 --> 01:16:51,649
working with three
wide receivers.
1749
01:16:51,774 --> 01:16:54,027
24. Watch 33! Watch 33!
1750
01:16:54,152 --> 01:16:56,154
- Cover two, cover two.
- Fernie Acosta trying
1751
01:16:56,279 --> 01:16:58,573
desperately to get
his Lobo defense lined up.
1752
01:16:58,698 --> 01:17:00,658
Harrison has been
all over the field tonight.
1753
01:17:00,783 --> 01:17:02,118
Quarterback draw.
Up the middle.
1754
01:17:02,243 --> 01:17:03,703
Gets one block.
Spinning at the ten.
1755
01:17:03,828 --> 01:17:05,246
Leaping at the five.
1756
01:17:05,371 --> 01:17:06,622
Into the end zone.
1757
01:17:06,748 --> 01:17:09,000
Touchdown, Bulldogs.
1758
01:17:09,125 --> 01:17:11,044
- Hot Rod Harrison.
- Oh man!
1759
01:17:12,420 --> 01:17:14,255
[announcer] And that
will end the first half.
1760
01:17:14,380 --> 01:17:19,010
The Texas Lutheran Bulldogs
dominating, up 14-0.
1761
01:17:19,135 --> 01:17:22,138
And after a journey that has
taken nearly 30 years,
1762
01:17:22,263 --> 01:17:24,432
the senior, Mike Flynt,
finds himself
1763
01:17:24,557 --> 01:17:26,768
with only one half
a football left
1764
01:17:26,893 --> 01:17:28,603
before the clock
strikes midnight.
1765
01:17:28,728 --> 01:17:29,812
Hey, Flynt.
1766
01:17:30,688 --> 01:17:32,690
Listen, uh, I'm gonna need
your help.
1767
01:17:32,815 --> 01:17:34,484
Alright? Just follow my lead.
1768
01:17:34,609 --> 01:17:36,611
- Yes, sir.
- Alright.
1769
01:17:36,736 --> 01:17:37,987
[sighs]
1770
01:17:51,751 --> 01:17:54,295
Y'all just quit on me!
1771
01:17:56,714 --> 01:18:00,676
In front of the entire country,
you quit!
1772
01:18:01,761 --> 01:18:04,097
It is the final game
of the season,
1773
01:18:04,222 --> 01:18:07,392
the last game some
of you will ever play!
1774
01:18:08,518 --> 01:18:12,522
Are you gonna play this game or
are you gonna lay down and die?
1775
01:18:12,647 --> 01:18:13,731
Hm?
1776
01:18:15,358 --> 01:18:17,402
Let me know what you decide
1777
01:18:17,527 --> 01:18:20,196
'cause I am leaving here
until you figure it out.
1778
01:18:20,321 --> 01:18:22,073
Coaches, let's go.
1779
01:18:23,533 --> 01:18:24,492
[locker door opens]
1780
01:18:24,617 --> 01:18:26,661
[indistinct chatter]
1781
01:18:28,621 --> 01:18:30,164
[coach] Leave these boys to it.
1782
01:18:38,172 --> 01:18:39,006
[door slams]
1783
01:18:43,719 --> 01:18:45,012
You know...
1784
01:18:47,140 --> 01:18:49,142
Damn it, guys, I feel beat up.
1785
01:18:50,184 --> 01:18:52,061
I've spent the last few months
1786
01:18:52,186 --> 01:18:55,022
just getting the crap
kicked out of me.
1787
01:18:55,148 --> 01:18:58,401
Sometimes-- No, not sometimes,
pretty much all the time,
1788
01:18:58,526 --> 01:18:59,777
I just wanna say I'm done.
1789
01:18:59,902 --> 01:19:02,155
I'm done with the pain.
1790
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:04,115
I'm done with the achin' bones.
1791
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,409
I'm done with the torn muscles.
1792
01:19:09,287 --> 01:19:11,456
But you know,
1793
01:19:11,581 --> 01:19:14,625
every day, there's
this five-minute span of time
1794
01:19:16,002 --> 01:19:19,255
where I tell myself
it's worth it.
1795
01:19:22,550 --> 01:19:23,885
It's worth it.
1796
01:19:26,387 --> 01:19:29,891
And it's in that five minutes I
remember why I came back here.
1797
01:19:30,016 --> 01:19:32,310
It has nothing to do with ego,
boys.
1798
01:19:32,435 --> 01:19:34,437
It has nothing to do
with how badly I botched
1799
01:19:34,562 --> 01:19:37,315
my senior season back in 1971,
1800
01:19:37,440 --> 01:19:39,233
which, by the way,
was so long ago,
1801
01:19:39,358 --> 01:19:42,945
your parents were young enough
to be watching Big Bird on PBS.
1802
01:19:43,070 --> 01:19:44,489
[laughter]
1803
01:19:46,199 --> 01:19:51,871
That five minutes
is about this right here.
1804
01:19:52,705 --> 01:19:55,791
Us, a team.
1805
01:19:56,876 --> 01:19:59,462
I came back here
to be on a team
1806
01:19:59,587 --> 01:20:02,006
because there ain't nothing
better than being on a team.
1807
01:20:02,131 --> 01:20:03,007
[group murmurs]
1808
01:20:03,132 --> 01:20:04,967
[Mike] I came back here
1809
01:20:05,092 --> 01:20:07,970
to be with you all before
I even knew who you all were.
1810
01:20:10,014 --> 01:20:11,891
I came back
to cheer for you, Jeremy,
1811
01:20:12,016 --> 01:20:15,061
when you make your 80th catch
of the season for a TD
1812
01:20:15,186 --> 01:20:16,938
which you have yet to do
but you will do
1813
01:20:17,063 --> 01:20:18,731
when you get back
out there tonight.
1814
01:20:18,856 --> 01:20:21,067
[gentle, hopeful music playing]
1815
01:20:21,192 --> 01:20:24,487
I came here to see you make
those 25 tackles, Fern-man.
1816
01:20:24,612 --> 01:20:26,239
- Huh?
- Yes, sir.
1817
01:20:28,824 --> 01:20:31,160
I came to look you
in the face, Kyle,
1818
01:20:31,285 --> 01:20:34,330
and wonder how a man
who gets sacked so often
1819
01:20:34,455 --> 01:20:35,748
can still look so pretty.
1820
01:20:35,873 --> 01:20:37,792
[laughter]
1821
01:20:40,294 --> 01:20:42,630
I even came back for you,
Stanton.
1822
01:20:43,506 --> 01:20:46,467
Because five, ten,
20 years from now,
1823
01:20:46,592 --> 01:20:49,303
you're gonna forget any beef
you and I had between us
1824
01:20:49,428 --> 01:20:53,349
but what you will remember
is that we fought side by side.
1825
01:20:57,937 --> 01:21:00,648
There's one thing
that I've learned
1826
01:21:01,816 --> 01:21:06,654
in my sometimes glorious,
sometimes miserable life,
1827
01:21:07,572 --> 01:21:09,156
and that's... [chokes up]
1828
01:21:09,282 --> 01:21:10,575
[inspirational music building]
1829
01:21:10,700 --> 01:21:13,077
...we're not defined
by our successes.
1830
01:21:14,996 --> 01:21:16,831
We're defined by our regrets.
1831
01:21:17,790 --> 01:21:19,125
And I've had a ton of them.
1832
01:21:20,084 --> 01:21:21,252
As a teammate,
1833
01:21:23,337 --> 01:21:24,255
as a husband,
1834
01:21:25,631 --> 01:21:26,799
as a dad.
1835
01:21:29,260 --> 01:21:30,511
Hell, you boys,
1836
01:21:32,138 --> 01:21:34,432
you're too young
to have any regrets yet,
1837
01:21:34,557 --> 01:21:36,225
ones that really matter anyway.
1838
01:21:38,769 --> 01:21:41,397
So don't let tonight
be that first regret.
1839
01:21:42,315 --> 01:21:44,317
Don't let tonight be the night
that you regret
1840
01:21:44,442 --> 01:21:46,444
for not being there
for your brothers.
1841
01:21:46,569 --> 01:21:47,820
[teammates murmur in agreement]
1842
01:21:47,945 --> 01:21:50,031
When I come back
in this locker room,
1843
01:21:50,156 --> 01:21:53,117
after the game,
I will be an empty shell,
1844
01:21:53,242 --> 01:21:55,328
because my very soul,
my spirit,
1845
01:21:55,453 --> 01:21:57,204
will be left on that field.
1846
01:21:58,372 --> 01:22:00,499
Now, forget about making
this a game
1847
01:22:00,625 --> 01:22:02,460
that we'll always remember.
1848
01:22:02,585 --> 01:22:05,755
Let's make this a game
they'll always remember.
1849
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:07,423
[cheering and applause]
1850
01:22:07,548 --> 01:22:09,634
Let's make this game
their regret.
1851
01:22:09,759 --> 01:22:11,135
[cheering]
1852
01:22:11,260 --> 01:22:14,013
- Okay, let's go! Let's go!
- [cheering]
1853
01:22:16,098 --> 01:22:18,267
Hey yo!
1854
01:22:18,392 --> 01:22:21,395
They're gonna know our name.
They're gonna feel our pain.
1855
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:22,855
'Cause that's the name
of the game.
1856
01:22:22,980 --> 01:22:24,273
That's the price of fame.
1857
01:22:24,398 --> 01:22:26,484
We're here to make war,
not settle the score.
1858
01:22:26,651 --> 01:22:27,652
So we're gonna do it for Mike
1859
01:22:27,777 --> 01:22:28,944
and we're gonna do it tonight!
1860
01:22:29,070 --> 01:22:30,196
They're gonna know our name!
1861
01:22:30,321 --> 01:22:31,489
They're gonna feel our pain!
1862
01:22:31,614 --> 01:22:32,782
[all chanting] They're gonna
know our name!
1863
01:22:32,907 --> 01:22:34,158
They're gonna feel our pain!
1864
01:22:34,283 --> 01:22:35,451
They're gonna know our name!
1865
01:22:35,576 --> 01:22:36,661
They're gonna feel our pain!
1866
01:22:36,786 --> 01:22:37,745
We're doing it for the old man!
1867
01:22:37,870 --> 01:22:39,205
[cheering]
1868
01:22:42,750 --> 01:22:45,670
[crowd cheering]
1869
01:22:45,795 --> 01:22:47,797
[dramatic music playing]
1870
01:22:47,922 --> 01:22:49,674
[cheering]
1871
01:22:49,799 --> 01:22:51,926
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
1872
01:22:52,051 --> 01:22:53,678
- You ready for this, old man?
- I'm ready.
1873
01:22:53,803 --> 01:22:55,554
- Watch this.
- I'm watching you.
1874
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:57,640
- Let's go! Come on!
- Go, J!
1875
01:22:57,765 --> 01:22:59,767
You need an invitation? Go!
1876
01:22:59,892 --> 01:23:02,144
[announcer]
Bulldogs set to kick off.
1877
01:23:06,565 --> 01:23:08,734
Jeremy Cartwright
takes it at the goal line.
1878
01:23:08,859 --> 01:23:10,903
He's at the five.
Gets a block.
1879
01:23:11,028 --> 01:23:13,197
He's at the 10. To the 15!
1880
01:23:13,322 --> 01:23:14,281
To the 20!
1881
01:23:16,784 --> 01:23:17,910
Go, Jeremy, go!
1882
01:23:18,035 --> 01:23:18,911
[announcer] To the 30!
1883
01:23:19,829 --> 01:23:21,038
Jeremy Cartwright
1884
01:23:21,163 --> 01:23:23,916
returns the opening
second half kickoff!
1885
01:23:24,041 --> 01:23:25,668
A hundred yards!
1886
01:23:26,502 --> 01:23:27,753
Are you kidding me?
1887
01:23:27,878 --> 01:23:29,714
- Know my name!
- PAT! PAT!
1888
01:23:29,839 --> 01:23:31,465
[announcer] And looking
towards the sideline,
1889
01:23:31,590 --> 01:23:33,134
- this might be it.
- Hey!
1890
01:23:33,259 --> 01:23:34,969
That's you, Flynt.
1891
01:23:35,094 --> 01:23:36,637
Come on. This is your time.
Go, go, go!
1892
01:23:36,762 --> 01:23:38,639
[announcer] Yup.
Here he comes. Mike Flynt.
1893
01:23:39,098 --> 01:23:41,892
And everybody's
on their feet here tonight.
1894
01:23:42,017 --> 01:23:44,145
[chanting] Mike! Mike! Mike!
1895
01:23:44,270 --> 01:23:46,021
This is all for you, Mike!
1896
01:23:47,189 --> 01:23:49,024
[announcer]
The 59-year-old linebacker
1897
01:23:49,150 --> 01:23:51,193
who sacrificed so much
to get here.
1898
01:23:51,318 --> 01:23:53,446
Now my being here
finally means something.
1899
01:23:53,571 --> 01:23:55,239
It already has, brother.
It already has.
1900
01:23:55,364 --> 01:23:56,615
You go!
1901
01:23:56,741 --> 01:24:00,578
[uplifting music playing]
1902
01:24:03,831 --> 01:24:05,124
[Mike] Here we go!
1903
01:24:05,249 --> 01:24:06,083
[announcer] Mike Flynt,
1904
01:24:06,208 --> 01:24:08,544
who's battled injuries
all season,
1905
01:24:08,669 --> 01:24:10,838
is gonna be
the oldest football player
1906
01:24:10,963 --> 01:24:12,715
- to ever step on the gridiron.
- [whistle blows]
1907
01:24:14,049 --> 01:24:16,135
Nice of you to join us.
1908
01:24:16,260 --> 01:24:17,678
Thought maybe you'd
change your mind.
1909
01:24:17,803 --> 01:24:19,054
Not a chance.
1910
01:24:20,347 --> 01:24:21,432
[babbling]
1911
01:24:21,557 --> 01:24:22,975
Mike, do not let him inside.
1912
01:24:23,100 --> 01:24:25,144
I'm coming for you, old man.
You best dig in
1913
01:24:25,269 --> 01:24:26,937
or get out the way.
1914
01:24:28,689 --> 01:24:30,524
[announcer] The Lobos
have struggled protecting
1915
01:24:30,649 --> 01:24:33,402
this year. They've had
two field goals blocked.
1916
01:24:33,527 --> 01:24:35,112
[grunting]
1917
01:24:36,155 --> 01:24:37,531
[announcer] Kick is up.
1918
01:24:37,656 --> 01:24:38,908
And good!
1919
01:24:39,033 --> 01:24:41,786
It's seven on the board
for the Lobos.
1920
01:24:41,911 --> 01:24:43,162
14-7 is the ballgame.
1921
01:24:43,287 --> 01:24:44,789
Nice hit, kid.
1922
01:24:46,081 --> 01:24:48,000
[announcer] Mike Flynt
going toe-to-toe
1923
01:24:48,125 --> 01:24:50,961
with Bulldogs' All-Conference
linebacker Willie Simmons.
1924
01:24:52,338 --> 01:24:55,800
Thirty years later and
this guy is still all fight.
1925
01:24:57,009 --> 01:25:00,429
And all of a sudden, folks,
we got ourselves a ballgame.
1926
01:25:01,305 --> 01:25:04,225
Out route on the play.
Big hit by the Lobos!
1927
01:25:05,851 --> 01:25:07,978
Here's Braddick, back in
the pocket, throwing right.
1928
01:25:08,103 --> 01:25:10,898
- [grunts]
- Sacked one more time!
1929
01:25:11,774 --> 01:25:13,359
I'm here all day!
1930
01:25:13,484 --> 01:25:15,778
[announcer] Big drop by
Braddick, into the end zone.
1931
01:25:15,903 --> 01:25:18,239
Incomplete! And nobody can put
points on the board.
1932
01:25:18,364 --> 01:25:20,699
Braddick in the red zone,
crossing route.
1933
01:25:20,825 --> 01:25:22,201
Caught. Run out of bounds.
1934
01:25:22,326 --> 01:25:23,619
- Beautiful!
- Yeah!
1935
01:25:23,744 --> 01:25:25,120
[announcer] Despite the Lobos
1936
01:25:25,246 --> 01:25:26,163
putting seven on the board,
1937
01:25:26,288 --> 01:25:28,123
it's a defensive struggle.
1938
01:25:28,249 --> 01:25:29,917
Nobody giving an inch.
1939
01:25:30,042 --> 01:25:31,293
[indistinct cheering]
1940
01:25:33,587 --> 01:25:35,089
[crowd cheering]
1941
01:25:39,844 --> 01:25:41,720
[announcer] Braddick again
in the pocket.
1942
01:25:41,846 --> 01:25:44,431
He's taken to the turf.
Oh! Did you see that?
1943
01:25:44,557 --> 01:25:46,851
How is Braddick getting up
from these hits tonight?
1944
01:25:48,894 --> 01:25:50,145
Keep going!
1945
01:25:50,271 --> 01:25:52,022
It's alright, Cappy!
You got it!
1946
01:25:52,147 --> 01:25:54,275
[announcer] Two heavyweights
going at it here tonight.
1947
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:56,360
Nobody giving an inch.
1948
01:25:56,485 --> 01:25:58,737
The Bulldogs back to work
on offense.
1949
01:25:58,863 --> 01:26:00,823
Trying a specialty play,
reverse near side--
1950
01:26:00,948 --> 01:26:02,867
Oh! Big hit by the Lobos!
1951
01:26:04,368 --> 01:26:05,703
- Alright! Now we're rolling!
- That's it!
1952
01:26:05,828 --> 01:26:07,079
Yeah! We're in this!
We're in this!
1953
01:26:07,204 --> 01:26:08,747
[announcer] Lobos put
seven on the board
1954
01:26:08,873 --> 01:26:11,292
but they still trail by seven.
1955
01:26:11,417 --> 01:26:14,628
It's 14-7 Bulldogs in
this physical football game.
1956
01:26:15,963 --> 01:26:16,922
Blown up on the play!
1957
01:26:17,047 --> 01:26:18,591
[whistle blows]
1958
01:26:18,716 --> 01:26:21,135
The Lobos hit them
in the backfield.
1959
01:26:22,511 --> 01:26:24,054
[Mike] Chains. Let's go.
1960
01:26:24,179 --> 01:26:26,223
[announcer] They're gonna
bring the chains out.
1961
01:26:29,768 --> 01:26:31,353
I don't think he's got it.
1962
01:26:31,478 --> 01:26:33,314
[announcer] Could be
a fourth down and...
1963
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:35,941
- Yeah, he's short.
- Bulldogs are just short.
1964
01:26:36,066 --> 01:26:38,652
They've got a big decision
to make here.
1965
01:26:39,570 --> 01:26:41,322
And look who's coming
on the field.
1966
01:26:41,447 --> 01:26:43,616
Quarterback Hot Rod Harrison.
1967
01:26:43,741 --> 01:26:45,951
Back on the field.
Bulldogs are gonna go for it.
1968
01:26:46,076 --> 01:26:48,579
Oh! You've got to be
kidding me.
1969
01:26:48,704 --> 01:26:50,039
Five-two stack.
1970
01:26:50,164 --> 01:26:51,665
Hey, hey. Fern-man. Fern-man.
1971
01:26:51,790 --> 01:26:53,542
Listen, this guy's hard
to bring down.
1972
01:26:53,667 --> 01:26:54,960
You gotta wrap him up
around the legs,
1973
01:26:55,085 --> 01:26:56,587
drive until he goes down.
Got it?
1974
01:26:56,712 --> 01:26:58,714
- Yes, sir.
- Hey, believe it.
1975
01:26:58,839 --> 01:27:00,215
Yes, sir.
1976
01:27:00,966 --> 01:27:03,177
[announcer] If the Bulldogs
pick up the first down here,
1977
01:27:03,302 --> 01:27:06,722
they will run out the clock
and take away any hope
1978
01:27:06,847 --> 01:27:08,098
of a Lobos winning season.
1979
01:27:08,223 --> 01:27:10,100
Everything we trained for
right here.
1980
01:27:10,225 --> 01:27:12,227
Five-two stack.
Five-two stack. Ready?
1981
01:27:12,353 --> 01:27:15,189
[announcer] Well, this is it.
Fourth down and inches.
1982
01:27:16,148 --> 01:27:17,399
Harrison breaks the huddle
1983
01:27:17,524 --> 01:27:18,943
and brings his offense
to the line.
1984
01:27:19,068 --> 01:27:20,986
You gotta believe
the Bulldogs will look
1985
01:27:21,111 --> 01:27:22,738
to their All-Conference
quarterback
1986
01:27:22,863 --> 01:27:24,198
to pick up this first down.
1987
01:27:25,282 --> 01:27:26,659
Let's go, Fern-man!
You got this!
1988
01:27:26,784 --> 01:27:27,868
[announcer]
If the Lobos defense
1989
01:27:27,993 --> 01:27:29,286
can hold the Bulldogs here,
1990
01:27:29,411 --> 01:27:31,538
the Sul Ross offense
will get the ball back...
1991
01:27:31,664 --> 01:27:34,291
[chanting] Defense! Defense!
Defense! Defense!
1992
01:27:34,416 --> 01:27:35,626
[announcer]
...with great field position
1993
01:27:35,751 --> 01:27:37,544
and time left on the clock.
1994
01:27:37,670 --> 01:27:39,338
[indistinct shouting]
1995
01:27:39,463 --> 01:27:40,798
[announcer] Shotgun
formation. Here's the snap.
1996
01:27:40,923 --> 01:27:42,967
Harrison on the fake.
He's gonna keep it.
1997
01:27:43,092 --> 01:27:44,343
Heads for the line.
1998
01:27:44,468 --> 01:27:46,637
Oh my gosh, what a hit!
1999
01:27:47,179 --> 01:27:50,057
Fernie Acosta with the biggest
stop of his life
2000
01:27:50,182 --> 01:27:53,852
has just given the Sul Ross
Lobos a second chance.
2001
01:27:53,978 --> 01:27:57,982
[inspirational music playing]
2002
01:28:03,195 --> 01:28:04,279
[Weston] Let's go!
2003
01:28:05,864 --> 01:28:07,449
Here we go, Lobos!
2004
01:28:07,574 --> 01:28:09,535
Let's go, offense! Let's go!
2005
01:28:09,660 --> 01:28:11,537
[announcer] Fifteen seconds
left on the clock.
2006
01:28:11,662 --> 01:28:14,873
Lobos with a second chance,
now in scoring position.
2007
01:28:14,999 --> 01:28:17,084
Hey, Jeremy, make sure
you get out of bounds.
2008
01:28:18,460 --> 01:28:20,004
[announcer] Time enough
for two,
2009
01:28:20,129 --> 01:28:21,630
maybe three plays
if they're lucky.
2010
01:28:21,755 --> 01:28:23,632
No room for mistakes here.
2011
01:28:23,757 --> 01:28:26,176
The Lobos with a chance
to tie it up
2012
01:28:26,301 --> 01:28:28,220
and to take this game
into overtime.
2013
01:28:28,345 --> 01:28:29,388
[Mike] This is it!
2014
01:28:29,513 --> 01:28:31,265
[announcer]
With 15 seconds left
2015
01:28:31,390 --> 01:28:32,683
and no timeouts.
2016
01:28:32,808 --> 01:28:34,351
Shotgun snap.
2017
01:28:35,894 --> 01:28:37,896
Cartwright, trying
to get out of bounds.
2018
01:28:38,814 --> 01:28:40,024
Doesn't make it!
2019
01:28:40,149 --> 01:28:42,109
Let it go! Back on the ball!
Back on the ball!
2020
01:28:42,234 --> 01:28:43,777
[announcer] And the clock
is still ticking.
2021
01:28:43,902 --> 01:28:45,821
Ten, nine, eight.
2022
01:28:45,946 --> 01:28:48,115
He's trying to get the guys
back to the line of scrimmage.
2023
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:49,533
- Come on, Flynt.
- Seven! Six!
2024
01:28:49,658 --> 01:28:51,201
They need to snap the ball.
2025
01:28:51,326 --> 01:28:53,037
Five! Four!
2026
01:28:53,162 --> 01:28:55,456
- Here comes the snap.
- Come on now! Come on!
2027
01:28:55,581 --> 01:28:57,458
[announcer] The Lobos,
shotgun snap.
2028
01:28:57,583 --> 01:28:59,626
Braddick in the pocket.
He's looking right side.
2029
01:28:59,752 --> 01:29:01,336
Cartwright,
back of the end zone.
2030
01:29:01,462 --> 01:29:02,463
[echoes]
2031
01:29:02,588 --> 01:29:06,133
[suspenseful music playing]
2032
01:29:06,258 --> 01:29:08,552
It's caught! It's caught!
Touchdown!
2033
01:29:08,677 --> 01:29:12,473
Touchdown, Lobos!
Touchdown, Jeremy Cartwright!
2034
01:29:13,057 --> 01:29:15,184
And with that touchdown,
Jeremy Cartwright
2035
01:29:15,309 --> 01:29:18,979
breaks the school record with
80 receptions on the season
2036
01:29:19,104 --> 01:29:23,942
and brings the Lobos one point
away from tying this game
2037
01:29:24,109 --> 01:29:26,320
and sending it into overtime.
2038
01:29:26,445 --> 01:29:28,197
You have got to be kidding me!
2039
01:29:28,322 --> 01:29:29,865
Field goal unit, let's go!
2040
01:29:29,990 --> 01:29:31,200
- Come on, son! Let's go!
- Tie this up!
2041
01:29:31,325 --> 01:29:32,534
[announcer] Mike Flynt,
2042
01:29:32,659 --> 01:29:34,078
the oldest man
to play the game.
2043
01:29:34,203 --> 01:29:35,287
Alright, boys, here we go.
2044
01:29:35,412 --> 01:29:36,413
[announcer] For what might be
2045
01:29:36,538 --> 01:29:37,498
the last play of his life.
2046
01:29:37,623 --> 01:29:38,707
Alright, all you.
2047
01:29:38,832 --> 01:29:40,584
Get one for me, buddy,
and then we're tied.
2048
01:29:40,709 --> 01:29:42,294
[announcer] The Lobos
one point away
2049
01:29:42,419 --> 01:29:45,756
from tying or losing their
final game of the season.
2050
01:29:45,881 --> 01:29:47,424
[player] Long night, ain't it?
2051
01:29:47,549 --> 01:29:49,802
[announcer] You can't
write it. It's just real life.
2052
01:29:49,927 --> 01:29:51,220
[player] Get set! Get set!
2053
01:29:51,345 --> 01:29:52,513
Hey, you wanna watch out, Mike!
2054
01:29:52,638 --> 01:29:54,890
Call 911!
Killin' an old man's a crime!
2055
01:29:55,015 --> 01:29:56,558
[announcer] Mike Flynt
and this Lobo team
2056
01:29:56,683 --> 01:29:59,853
with a chance to tie the game
and send it into overtime.
2057
01:29:59,978 --> 01:30:02,481
Let's tie this up.
Let's put a man on the moon.
2058
01:30:02,606 --> 01:30:04,858
- Come on!
- Boy, after all this,
2059
01:30:04,983 --> 01:30:06,401
all the hits tonight,
2060
01:30:06,527 --> 01:30:08,779
all the defense
and last-minute score,
2061
01:30:08,904 --> 01:30:11,532
it will not matter at all
for the Lobos
2062
01:30:11,657 --> 01:30:13,534
if they can't knock down
this extra point.
2063
01:30:13,659 --> 01:30:14,493
Set!
2064
01:30:15,828 --> 01:30:18,831
[announcer] It's a bad snap!
It's on the ground.
2065
01:30:18,956 --> 01:30:19,873
[indistinct shouting]
2066
01:30:20,916 --> 01:30:22,876
[announcer]
Braddick's got to pick it up.
2067
01:30:23,001 --> 01:30:24,419
He's looking for anybody.
2068
01:30:24,545 --> 01:30:26,338
Now being flushed out
right side.
2069
01:30:26,463 --> 01:30:27,756
[commentary mutes]
2070
01:30:27,881 --> 01:30:29,758
[tense music playing]
2071
01:30:29,883 --> 01:30:31,468
[announcer]
Willie Smith is chasing him.
2072
01:30:31,593 --> 01:30:32,678
And here comes Mike Flynt!
2073
01:30:32,803 --> 01:30:34,471
