I really am,

but may be you got

a small taste

of what my girls

Hmm?

Welcome to my life, Yoast.

Shh, shh!

What's going on?

Coach.

Uh, we wanted

to let you know

we was going to warm up

a little different

tonight.

This is the first

true test of the season

for the undefeated

T. C. Williams Titans,

'cause tonight,

they're going up against

the undefeated

Groveton Lions.

Their all-state nose guard

Kip Tyler

is as mean as

a copper head snake.

Raah!

And here come

the Titans.

They're playing in front

of a capacity crowd

for the first time

this season.

linebacker.

Song's over, Sambo.

Ohh.

Yo, man.

Let's go, let's go.

What happened,

Lastik?

I--I audibled.

Rev, I swear to God

I audibled.

- All right, fellas, coming through.

- I didn't hear it.

Swear to God.

Let's

take a look at that, son.

Uhh.

Well, he broke a bone

in the wrist.

He won't be throwing

any more this season.

Ahh.

You got one minute,

Coach.

Take the other

time-out, Coach.

Ronnie Bass!

Coach, Rev's

going back in, right?

Not at quarterback, son.

I can't make

that pitch, Coach.

Yes, you can.

When I was 1 5 years old,

I lost my mother

and my father

in the same month, Ronnie--

the same month.

I was the youngest one,

but they were all

looking up to me.

Now, I wasn't ready yet,

either, but they needed me.

Your team

needs you tonight.

You're the colonel.

You're going to command

your troops tonight.

- Do you understand?

- Yes, sir.

Twins right,

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

What's the matter?

Haven't you ever seen

a football injury before,

you wimps?

Let's go.

Show some life in those legs.

I got it. It's going

to be all right.

Budds,

Louie, let him through,

all right?

-Just let him through.

- What?

Trust me.

You had 1 2 brothers

and sisters?

Yeah.

Ready!

Ref!.

Unnecessary roughness!

That's a penalty!

On the quarterback? Are

!!Na na na na!!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Did you see that, man?

That's a bad

white boy, man.

Hike!

!!Na na na na!!

Rev! Rev! Rev!

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Come on.

Coach?

Can I speak with you

in private?

Sure.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What's on

your mind, son?

I want Ray

off the team, Coach.

You know my policy,

Gerry.

Yes, I do,

and I respect it,

I know that Ray missed

that block on purpose.

Sometimes you just got

to cut a man loose.

Hmm.

Well,

you're the captain.

You make a decision,

but you support

your decision.

We're going to

remember this for a long time.

Hey, guys, wait up.

I want to catch

a ride with you.

Ray?

Oh, man,

not a word.

You're out.

What?

I'm not going to let you

play for this team anymore.

Oh, yeah, Jerry Lewis?

Going to go

and tell ''Coach Coon''

what to do

just like last time?

But, then, that's right.

He is your daddy now,

isn't he?

Boone don't cut anybody.

Remember, Gerry?

I had you cut, Ray.

You're willing

to just throw away

our friendship for them?

You can keep them.

Hi.

!!Now, I've been happy lately!!

!! Thinkin' about

the good things to come!!

!!And I believe

it could be!!

!!Something good

has begun!!

!! Oh, I've been

smilin' lately!!

O-Officer?

Heck of a game you boys

played last night.

Thanks.

Thank you, Officer.

Best defense I've seen

in 20 years.

!!Peace train!!

Tell that coach of yours

to keep up the good work.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

I'll--I'll do that.

!!Now, I've been

smilin' lately!!

!! Thinkin' about

the good things to come!!

!!And I believe

it could be!!

Yo, man,

your taxi had a siren.

Superman!

Hey, man,

Doing all right.

!!Ride on the peace train!!

!!Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoo-ah!!

!! Come on the peace train!!

!!Just come on

the peace train!!

!! Yes,

Ohh!

This song goes out

to the undefeated Titans.

This city is alive

with school spirit.

Go get 'em, Titans!

Whoo!

!!Saturday night

I was downtown!!

!! Workin' for the FBI !!

!!Sittin' in a nest

of bad men!!

!! Whiskey bottles

piling high!!

!!A pair of.45s

made me open my eyes!!

!!My temper just started

to rise!!

!!She was along cool woman

in a black dress!!

!!Just-a5'9 ',

beautiful, tall!!

!! With just one look

I was a bad mess!!

!! 'Cause that long cool woman

had it all!!

!! Whoo!!!

!!Had it all!!

!! Ooh!!

We are

here tonight to honor men

that are teaching

our young people

leadership on and off

the field

and high moral standards

as well.

Ladies and gentlemen,

let me introduce to you

the 1971 Hall of Fame nominees.

Come on, Daddy.

Whoo!

When we played Jefferson,

we were down by 4

with 1 0 seconds left.

So we blitzed the safety

from the weak side...

Wow.

Heck of a season

the Titans are having, Coach.

Too bad it's got to end.

Oh, we're still in it,

Lyle.

Taber's boys

are pretty good,

but I think we'll take

'em in the regional.

Well, not if we have anything

to say about it.

You just leave this

to us, Bill.

Boone's out, and you're

head coach again.

And all roads lead

to the Hall of Fame.

Coach Taber?

What do you think

of the Titans, Coach?

Think you have a chance

against that defense

they have over there

at T.C.?

Ton, Billy, Ray,

come on over here.

Boys. These are

my all-American tackles.

Prize bulls

who don't do nothin'

but knock the chocolate

out of folks.

Is it true

you're not gonna trade films

with Coach Boone?

I'm not gonna do anything
