After I saw this last night, I had to watch it again.

I forgot how bad it really was. It hasn't gotten better with age.

Throughout high school and college ball I must have watched it like 50 times on bus rides. Believe me I feel you pain. It's about five awesome unintentional comedy quotes/scenes wrapped in an hour an a half of Limburger.

After searching Google I see that it's "the Program." Glad I never watched it.. Saw one clip, big dude wanting to rape some girl.. wtf.

Actually, that was an integral plot hook to the movie, where the steroid ridden DE was breaking down under roid rage.

It's really a movie about a top college program with a Heisman candidate at QB falling apart under the weight of the pressure of winning.

Unfortunately it uses every cheesy football movie hook that has ever been invented. Alcoholic QB wanting his father's approval. Incredibly hot female athlete who is a goodie two shoes that falls in love with said Alcoholic QB and "saves him" from himself. Special teamer who uses steroids to become an all-American DE. Future NFL star who can't read or write who's career comes to a sudden and unfortunate end due to a leg injury he will never recover from. Backup QB sleeping with the coaches daughter who gets kicked off the team, but brought back under dire circumstances when said Alcoholic QB checks into rehab.

It even has the incredibly cheesy school initials that make no sense... ESU. Eastern State University?? WTF.

Probably the only cool and original writing in the hole movie was a scene that was cut from the theatrical version because some dumb ass kids got killed trying to replicate it.

So in short Mitch, it is pretty much the ESPN front page on a typical Saturday/Sunday just combined all into one team.

Connor cook looks like a 1st rd draft pick. Maybe not top 10. But first rd.

Cheesy.....yes. Truthful......100%. It stereotyped athletes to a tee. Very controversial movie that a lot of people didn't want to come out. Bad acting that had a lot of nobodies and a sprinkle of somebodies with a living legend as HC ( Jimmy Caan). I enjoyed the movie
