@Jose083192 - Boobie was changed to #45 for the movie, as the director decided to use footage from the 2003 Permian team instead of trying to film each and every football scene (which would've been very costly). On the 2003 team, the fullback wore #45. In reality, Boobie wore #35, Comer did indeed wear #45.
@MrSTFU80 agree, i mean, they say that the kids are small in the movie (even though their actors are big) but that they were gonna be this small, i didn't thought that.
But u gotta keep in mind that they didn't use anabolic in that time like the most of they do now (i mean who really think Tebow is completely clean?)
Texasboi27 - I was at that game. The worst officiated game I've ever seen (no joke) ... except for the next year when the officiating was just as bad toward Permian. If I had been a Marshall fan I would have been embarrassed just as I was the next year as a Permian fan. (and I've never been one to blame the officials)... this was just plain and simple bad (probably crooked) officiating (both games)
@TheTexasboi27 Believe it or not, in real life, Marshall DID beat Permian. The game was played in Marshall on a Saturday afternoon, not a Friday in Odessa. Permian flew to East Texas to play the game. Marshall won 13-12. They had a RB named Odell Beckham who was REALLY good. They ended up losing to Carter 22-18 in the playoffs. Anyway. I went to Longview. That's how I know this haha. I know all about East Texas football and the history.
Chris comer ran tha ball like he was scary!He was still good tho! Jus think he needed to stop worrying about gettin hit. Seem like everytime he ran tha ball. He wanted to fall.
Anyone who plays football or watches it knows that it is much more exciting and dramatic than how Hollywood tries to picture it. The movie had the potential to be the greatest sports movie of all time, but instead went for the Hollywood dramatics. Such a shame. Maybe someday someone will make a real football movie.
hey i don't know if this is true or not but i heard that after cris comer graduated he became a drug addict in the streets,can someone please tell me if this is true???
i played that year number 66 and woooow that was the best team and i remember boobie hurt his leg man he was in some pain but he diddnt stop just couldnt stop
@hottiecne37 I know! That disappointed me! I wanted to see all of the guys that were focused on in the book, but sadly he was mentioned but not pictured. He was a key player, too, and very smart.
FUN FACT! Boobie Miles quit the football team...and did NOT return like he did in the movie...In the movie he goes with them to the state game...In actuality he listened to the game on the radio
@Deathsreunion2580 FACT.. they didnt go to the state championship.. this was the semi finals. also, the MAIN character in the book is not even mentioned at all in the movie, Jerrod McDougal offensive lineman
@sedro32 If there was one main character, it was McDougall, although he followed about 6... And this game was actually a district ballgame. The Carter game (also on youtube, as you've commented on), was the semis.
@sedro32 ik the book was reely good the movie was pretty good for a movie but as comparison too the book the movie mixed up facts and left out alot of important parts ,just to name a few boobie number was 35 he hurt is leg in a scrimmage not a game he played fullback not tail back billingley played tail back billingsley was the tailback(he was also much better then they portrayed him in the book) they only made it to the semi finals and boobie played much more then one game after he got hurt.
@goten1214 stfu with you saying, "don't believe what Hollywood tells you." It's a movie you dipshit so shut the fuck up and be happy they even made Friday Night Lights a movie.
@nipa2011 Look you fucking moron. He asked if Boobie was #45 and I told him he wasn't. Kill yourself you sorry piece of shit. You're blocked from commenting on my videos. Nice work!
@cracknutz23 It wasn't the state game. It was the semifinals. Do some research and don't believe everything Hollywood tells you. And yes, I do have that game. I put highlights up.
@goten1214 hey man im not saying that wasn't a stupid question but you didn't have to be so mean in the comment back. i mean common he didn't know obviously
@marty34156 I remember they used some actual footage of Comer in the movie, but acted as if it was Boobie Miles running. I wonder if that played a part in why they had Boobie wearing 45.
you might be right cuz in the beginning they show coach gaines (billy bob thorton) watching film from the year before and this is right before camp and is pre boobie knee explosion
"The book is not entirely true about many things, and the movie further distorts things. This game DID force a 3-way tie in district which required a coin toss to determine playoff contenders."
That's what Bissinger reported in the book. What in the book was "entirely true?" And... thanks for the video.
@MultiKeepitreal - In real life, Boobie was 35 and Comer was 45. In the movie, Peter Berg mixed in real footage of the 2003 team in order not to have to film each and every football scene... on the '03 team, #45 was the starting tailback, therefore Berg changed Boobie's number to 45 for the flick.
This just show that when a team knows how to play football it doesnt matter your size. When I saw everyones stats at the beginning of the video I was astonished. Then when I watched the clips I was stunned at how well they ran plays for a high school team. So smooth and almost everyone was picking up their assingment . Every play run soundly.
i was an 8 year old little boy with my stepdad and classmate bud at this game, wearing my lee rebel sweater and lee sweat pants...and i remember going crazy when lee upset permian that west texas desert night. we were a 21 point underdog in this game. late in the 4th permian was screaming MOJO! and us lee rebels were screaming back from our side REBELS!!! amazing game and amazing times, love it and go rebs!
oh. well than then a bunch of the movie is made up? also that happened 2 my brothers this year in Indiana. lost to Bishop Luers and then they won state
he was much better than Comer. He hurt his knee which made him worse. Boobie had offers from USC. Bama and Miami. before he hurt his knee. Comer went where?? Abilene Christian? lol yea Comer's better
@madvillain6184 He didn't have offers from any of those schools; he had heard interest from them. He didn't receive any full rides at all. His grades held him back (as they did Comer). Boobie, even after recovering from injury, went to Ranger and still was terrible (not to mention unable to maintain grades and had to drop out).
@goten1214 Boobie miles.. he can spin left he can spin right it dont make no difference. he can block, tackle, score the touchdowns AND he can pass. What does comer do? he runs out of bounds cuz he doesnt have blockers!
Basically, in the Wing T, the QB was numbered a low 20 number to help keep the backs organized or something to help with naming/calling plays. And then it became a tradition.
thats crazy how small teams wer then. my hs team is like tackle 6'2 270 guard 6' 220 center 5'10 260 guard 6'3 245 tackle 6'5 250 TE 6'2 235 so much different
yeah mine is too. LT is 6'0 290 G 5'11 270 C 6'1 275 G 6'3 290 RT 6'1 320. our line is bigger than navys. crazy small these guys. winchells 160? oh man. our 5'2 kick returner is 165 and hes the smallest on the team
Because back then people played football for their school and because they loved it and would remeber it for the rest of their life, now people play it without enjoying it and grind it day in day out to try and get to the pro's to make millions.
I am from Odessa, so you have to understand Mojo football. It was ALWAYS this way, being smaller and underweight. The thing you must understand is that Mojo plays 4 QUARTERS, and they were ALWAYS in better shape than the other team and they NEVER stopped and NEVER gave up.They were superbly coached, and most did not go on to play in college. This was the pinnacle of most guys careers. Thats Permian football in the nutshell.
4.8 in 7th grade damn thats impressive. Our 155 lb. center is a junior he runs a 4.68 you would think he's a waste being on the line but he's one of the best blockers I've seen. Keep it up though dude you sure have the speed to be good and keep lifting thats what helped me with my sub-par speed.
wow these guys really were small. in the movie it said they were small but wow. i live in colorado and play on basically the worst team in 5A and i still think the smallest lineman on our team is pushing 215, and the average is i guess around 245. i guess it was different times back then and they probably didn't focus on the weight room as much as just playing some football.
Everybody knows Comer was better than Boobie after the injury but are you saying he was better than pre-injury Boobie? No way. Gary Gaines would tell you himself.
So Gary Gaines opinion is an end-all correct word on talent? The injury wasn't anything serious and Miles recovered completely. Comer was still better; it's just that nobody knew because he hadn't had a chance to show it.
He played some in 1987 but was nothing absolutely spectacular. He got hurt in a scrimmage, so there was no film of him in 1988 other than maybe against Abilene where he ran like 12 times for 16 yards. He IS on the sidelines in this game and they show his face a few times during the full-length game. But he quit after this game.
Stormy was Stoney's little brother. Stoney didn't start over Winchell because he was younger and Winchell got the job done. He always threw some great blocks which is the QBs main job in the Wing T, not passing.
wow, they really were small haha. i know players were smaller back then but not that small. and i also know that they were a small team, but under 200 pound linemen? damn
i gues in tex hs football is everything. where i live in calif i have 7 or 8 high school's near where i live.all spread out within 10 miles of each other.
I keep hearing people defend Odessa saying that the book totally got it wrong, but as someone who went to high school in a very heated Texas 5A football-centric district, nothing I've read in it seems terribly far-fetched (especially since our next door neighbor city I had experience with in the HS years is one of the more recent Texas powerhouses). I've always wondered what is supposedly *not* so accurate in the book - specifics, please?
Bissinger's publisher actually rejected it the first time around because it wasn't interesting and controversial enough. I doubt everyone was as racist as he makes them sound. I'm sure there were some people; every town has them. But he made it sound like it was the norm there. And he made it sound like all the money went to football, but it was money that the athletic program raised via ticket sales, merchandise, etc. They weren't taking money from teachers; it was money they had earned.
Man, Odessa had a small team

Because back then people played football for their school and because they loved it and would remeber it for the rest of their life, now people play it without enjoying it and grind it day in day out to try and get to the pro's to make millions.

I am from Odessa, so you have to understand Mojo football. It was ALWAYS this way, being smaller and underweight. The thing you must understand is that Mojo plays 4 QUARTERS, and they were ALWAYS in better shape than the other team and they NEVER stopped and NEVER gave up.They were superbly coached, and most did not go on to play in college. This was the pinnacle of most guys careers. Thats Permian football in the nutshell.

On my team, which is one of the best in 3a (texas), I am the only lineman over 200 pounds. our center is 155, lg 180, rg 185, rt 250, lt 190
PITarpon75 2 years ago
holly shit ure center is 155 in high school im in 7 grade and im 160 but im not fat i run a 4.8 and i lift almost every day
Clemsonandcubsfan1 2 years ago
4.8 in 7th grade damn thats impressive. Our 155 lb. center is a junior he runs a 4.68 you would think he's a waste being on the line but he's one of the best blockers I've seen. Keep it up though dude you sure have the speed to be good and keep lifting thats what helped me with my sub-par speed.
PITarpon75 2 years ago
how much do u bench im 155 running back in jv football buh im a 9th grader
bagofsuck66566 2 years ago
i dont like to do very heavy lifting but the most ive tried recently was i think around 145 150 but i normaly just do around 80 with a lot of reps
Clemsonandcubsfan1 2 years ago
oh i see yeah in practice lifting with my team i only bench 115 and do 15, in 4 sets.
bagofsuck66566 2 years ago
I love the fact that the center/guard is 6'2" 203. I play guard and im 6'5" 310 haha. This is pretty cool though

maybe cause that was in 1988
mrtexmex20 2 years ago
wow these guys really were small. in the movie it said they were small but wow. i live in colorado and play on basically the worst team in 5A and i still think the smallest lineman on our team is pushing 215, and the average is i guess around 245. i guess it was different times back then and they probably didn't focus on the weight room as much as just playing some football.

Everybody knows Comer was better than Boobie after the injury but are you saying he was better than pre-injury Boobie? No way. Gary Gaines would tell you himself.
thecyborg 2 years ago
So Gary Gaines opinion is an end-all correct word on talent? The injury wasn't anything serious and Miles recovered completely. Comer was still better; it's just that nobody knew because he hadn't had a chance to show it.

is there any real videos of boobie?
Partyingforlife 2 years ago
He played some in 1987 but was nothing absolutely spectacular. He got hurt in a scrimmage, so there was no film of him in 1988 other than maybe against Abilene where he ran like 12 times for 16 yards. He IS on the sidelines in this game and they show his face a few times during the full-length game. But he quit after this game.
goten1214 2 years ago
was he really that good as in... as he as good as how the movie described him? was he really the TICKET of the team?
Partyingforlife 2 years ago
No. Comer was better. Boobie recovered in real life and came back to play, but he didn't do well at all and Comer kept going strong.
goten1214 2 years ago
Oh ok did u personally know any of the players? so im just fascinated. lol

Who was the better high school quarterback Mike Winchell or Stoney Case?
mttrgn007 2 years ago
Stormy Case LOL
goten1214 2 years ago
really? i know he made the NFL but why didn't he start over Winchell
mttrgn007 2 years ago
Stormy was Stoney's little brother. Stoney didn't start over Winchell because he was younger and Winchell got the job done. He always threw some great blocks which is the QBs main job in the Wing T, not passing.
goten1214 2 years ago
this is so nice, mike winchell in the movie looks just like this guy haha...
well was the whole movie true now? so they lost vs the dalls cowboys? omg so incredible that this is actually a true story, so fantastic experience!

Actually Boobie's real number was 35. I don't know why they gave him 45 in the movie... And Mike Winchell is small! Only 6'0 and 160lbs!!

Then maybe you should educate yourself by reading a book and not watching the movie.
goten1214 2 years ago
I keep hearing people defend Odessa saying that the book totally got it wrong, but as someone who went to high school in a very heated Texas 5A football-centric district, nothing I've read in it seems terribly far-fetched (especially since our next door neighbor city I had experience with in the HS years is one of the more recent Texas powerhouses). I've always wondered what is supposedly *not* so accurate in the book - specifics, please?

Bissinger's publisher actually rejected it the first time around because it wasn't interesting and controversial enough. I doubt everyone was as racist as he makes them sound. I'm sure there were some people; every town has them. But he made it sound like it was the norm there. And he made it sound like all the money went to football, but it was money that the athletic program raised via ticket sales, merchandise, etc. They weren't taking money from teachers; it was money they had earned.
