- You boys all right?

- Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

- Gonna win state?

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

- Undefeated?

- Yes, sir.

- Get it done.

Take this opportunity

to support the Permian Panthers...

The Southern California lifestyle

is but one of the bonus features...

of playing for...

- What's that word?

- Uh, distinguished.

- Who's that one from, UCLA?

- No, this is USC. That's UCLA right there.

Hey, Mike. You gonna come visit

my distinguished ass in California?

See if I can put the damn smile

on your face.

You know I'm fittin'

to be rich, right?

I'm thinkin' about hiring, uh, Eddie Murphy

to lay some of his sh*t on you...

till you crack a damn smile.

No? Well, what about

Richard Pryor?

Bill Cosby?

I know you like Bill Cosby.

Mike Winchell, you got

a natural ability...

for throwing Boobie Miles the ball.

Any every once in a while

you throw a pretty good pass,

so you're going to eat

your Jell-O Pudding Pops.

Wah!

Yo, Mike Winchell. You gonna move

out of Odessa, Texas one day, baby,

and you gonna come visit

Boobie Miles in California,

and you gonna smile,

or I'm gonna stick about four

pudding pops up your white ass.

Now, now... Oh, my God.

I got Mike Winchell to smile.

Look at this! Wah!

Did y'all see it? Wah.

That's probably the only smile

y'all gonna see from Mike all season.

Yeah. Yeah.

- I'm distinguished now.

- Hey, Boobie.

- What?

- You didn't lift.

Come on, man.

This is God-given.

Only thing I gotta do

is just show up.

Now, people call this monument out here,

the Ratliff Stadium,

the monument to football of Odessa.

They say some of that money

should have gone to the school.

What's your feelings on that, D.U.?

You played ball.

Ain't that stadium

part of the school?

So I say that money did go to the school.

What's everybody whinin' about?

This is football country, folks.

Come on. Get your heads out.

- Hi, Don.

- Hey, Karen.

- It's you. Do you like it? Do you like it?

- Think so. What is it?

- Rice Krispy. You like it, right?

- Yeah, I love it.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Hey, Gary?

- Hey, John. How you doin'?

Good. Um, you real busy?

I got a minute or two.

What you got up?

- Well, I got some characters out here.

- Well, who you got with you?

- Wilkins.

- Well, hey. Hey, Jim. How you doin'?

- How's that pretty wife of yours?

- She's good.

- Ready for Friday night?

- Sure hope so. Seems pretty good.

- I feel pretty good about it. I really do.

- We're just, uh...

Wanted to come by and visit,

maybe talk about defense

a little bit, if you got a second.

You got a second?

We got a dog named Mojo.

We got a cat named Panther.

- You got season tickets?

- You kiddin'? We don't miss anything.

Instead of the cover 2 zone.

Get the D-line in as many gaps

and stack gaps as possible.

Double dent, type of technique.

- Hey, Boobie.

- Hey.

- How you doin'?

- All right.

Strong Bslide force.

Hell, we can look at...

- He'll still be a robber...

- Get Ivory out of the board...

- And go!

- Go, go, go, go.

Go by the speed and make up

for the size differential...

What do you think, Coach?

Now, obviously we're not Division 1,

but we got a good program.

You play well enough,

we'll find you a spot at Kansas Wesleyan.

- How far is the drive?

- What drive?

To your school. How far is it

from Odessa to your school?

- I don't know. 10 or 12 hours.

- Are you offering?

- Ma'am?

- Right now. Are you offering?

- If you are, we're in.

- Mom.

He'll sign his intent right now.

Well, obviously we're interested,

Miss Winchell,

otherwise we wouldn't be here, Mike.

- But right now, that's all we are, is...

- Interested.

Now, you go get at 'em,

you throw some touchdowns,

you win some football games,

maybe a state championship, huh?

We'll see if we can't find you a home

at Kansas Wesleyan.

Yes, sir.

- Do you like playin' football, Mike?

- Yes, sir.

Is it fun for you?

- Lots of fun, sir.

- He loves the game.

That's good. It's important.

It's... legitimate love of the game.

Supposed to be fun,

you know?

Greatest game in the world.

I'm not that good at toastin;

but, uh, I'll give it a try.

Um, fact is I don't know if I've

ever done a toast myself before.

Been involved in a few, but uh...

Uh, well, here's to Boobie Miles, who...

Well, everything... everything you get

this year, you deserve it,

because you... you work hard,

and you... I'm real proud of you.

And, um, L.V., to you I... I can't

even tell you how proud of you I am,

the way you've raised this kid

and what you do for him, and uh...

Here's to a great season,

and uh, God bless us.

- God bless us.

- God bless.

We been thinkin' about this

for four months now.

You seniors have been

thinkin' about it for 17 years.

Well, it's here now.

It's time.

If any of you have any doubt

in your mind,

I don't want you to walk

through that door over there.

You shouldn't have any doubt in your mind

about what you're supposed to do tonight,

and about how

you're supposed to do it.

So let's take care of it!

Don't know we can do this

'Cause we always knew this

Ha, ha

Yeah, boy

Bass

How low can you go

- Death row what a brother know

- Way to go.

- Do you understand?

- Hut!

Boobie Miles.

You can't turn it back

to Boobie Miles!

All Boobie, all the time here.

A Mojo first down.

Boobie around one more.

- Yeah! That's my boy!

- Boobie Miles for 45 yards...

Score for Mojo. Touchdown.

Billingsley takes it right.

Boobie. Here we go again.

Into the end zone.

Touchdown, Mojo.

Boobie Miles has it all,

all in one great package...

the speed, the size, the athleticism.

Let me tell you, folks, Boobie Miles

is worth the price of admission.

- Yeah!

- Yeah, all right!

- Boobie Miles breakin' loose one more time.

- Yes, sir!

- Broke the line.

- Chavez.

Chavez is playin' like a man possessed.

Whoo!

- God damn, I'm so proud of ya!

- Calm down, son.

- Chavez will eat you...

- Billingsley. Hey, Billingsley.

- Whoo!

- Go sit... Go get on the bench.

- Get on the bench.

- Boy, crazy.

I like enthusiasm, but my goodness.

He's gonna throw it.

What an arm. Did you see...

Boobie Miles, from 35 yards out,

scores a Mojo touchdown.

You're doin' a great job.

- Thank you, Coach.

- Give me a smile. Give me a smile.

Boobie Miles is about as solid

as you can ask for.

- He ain't gonna smile. He's more internal.

- Why not? Why didn't he ever smile?

- Mojo. Mojo.

- Keep watchin' out.

- Let me kick that extra point.

- Not this time. You did enough.

- Come on.

- Chris Comer! Come in.

Comer! You're in the game.

Come on.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, son. Come here!

Come here! Where you goin'?

- You don't want me to go in, Coach?

- You don't want a helmet?

- Where's your helmet? Go get it!

- Yes, sir!

- You see my helmet, man?

- Find your helmet, son.

What you lookin' for, Water Bug?

Let me get this real quick.

Let me get your helmet, man.

- Come on, come on.
