Mrs. Boone,

What you doin'

to my school, boy?

Man, this stuff

is messed up.

Yeah,

anything serious happen,

they shut the school down,

and our season

go down the drain.

This here's

real messed up.

But there are a lot

of pretty women here.

Hey.

Look at 'em, Gerry.

They hate us.

Nah. Just a bad day.

Things'll cool down.

No, Gerry. They're

always gonna hate us.

We don't need you here,

either, hippie boy.

You hear

what he said?

Hey, man.

Hey, Julius.

Man, it's crazy

out here, man.

Yeah, well,

what did you expect?

I don't know. I ain't quite

expect it to be like this.

Ah, sorry. Julius,

this is Emma.

!!Now the time has come!!

!! Time!!

Camp over now, huh?

Back to the real world,

Bertier.

This is what

they're integrating us for?

We'd have been better off

staying where we were.

!! Time!!

!! Time!!

Mmm.

Yeah, this is

my sanctuary right here.

All this hatred and turmoil

swirling around us,

but this...

this is always right.

Struggle.

Survival.

Victory and defeat.

It's just a game, Doc,

but...

I love it.

Coach, I'm afraid I've put you

into a no-win situation.

I just found out the board

didn't even think

you'd make it out of camp.

And now that you have,

I've learned that

at the first sign of trouble--

Trouble?

What kind of trouble?

Lose a game...

they'll fire you

and turn it back over

to Yoast.

One game,

just like that?

Mm-hmm.

What about my family?

We just got here.

They just expect me

to pick up and move?

What about my girls?

I--I don't know

what to say, I...

I'm sorry, Coach.

! Pump, pump,

pump it up! !

! Pump, pump,

pump it up! !

! Pump that Titan spirit up! !

Look at 'em.

They come here

to watch the game,

and they still don't

want no part of us.

! Give us more !

! Do your stuff,

let's go! !

All right,

everybody on their feet.

On your feet, on your feet.

Let's go, let's go.

Listen up.

I'm not gonna talk

to you tonight about...

winnin' and losin'.

You're already winners,

'cause you didn't

kill each other up at camp.

Tonight, we got Hayfield.

Like all the other schools

in this conference,

they're all white.

They don't have

to worry about race.

We do.

But we're better

for it, men.

Let me tell you something.

You don't let anything...

nothin'...

come between us.

Nothin' tears us apart.

Greekmythology,

the titans were greater

even than the gods.

They ruled their universe

with absolute power.

Well, that football field

out there tonight,

that's our universe.

Let's rule it like titans.

Got it!

So the Titans defense

takes the field

for the first time

against

the Hay field Hawks,

led by quarterback

Daniel Cullum

on the Hawks

Ohh!

We're moving like molasses

out there,
