"Is that his?" "Of all people." "How's that make any sense?" "Maybe it doesn't." "[uptempo fiddle music playing]" "Excuse me, Mr. Burlsworth." "Hey, Marty." "Oh, uh, wanna help set up Brandon's picture?" "Mary-Alice, you go on ahead." "Bless your heart." "Excuse me, Marty, I..." "Not now." "[crowd cheering] [players chattering] [man] Watch the play!" "Watch the play!" "'[Players grunting] [applause] [whistle blows] [man] Hey, Mike 27, Mike 27!" "[chattering continues] [man] He's on it, he's on it." "[Man #2] Push, move it." "[man] Set!" "[drums playing, crowd cheering]" "[man whistling tune]" "Marty." "I never got a chance to thank you for allowing us to create Brandon's monument." "It's an honor." "I'm sure you'll do a great job." "Anything for Brandon." " Oh, look at that." " [sighs]" "Have... have you decided on an epithet, yet?" "Most people like to use a line from a poem, or a bible verse." "Do you think I can at least get my brother buried in the ground before we start talking about poetry?" "Well, I'm sorry, Marty, I..." "I just... [sighs] I can imagine how you feel." "I'm pushing 60 years old, and I've seen everything under the sun, but, I..." "I've never met a better man than your brother." "It's just not fair." "Not, it's not." "[distant singing]" "He sure played that game though, didn't he?" "[chuckles]" "Played it like it meant something."

" No, you're not fat." "You're just a big old boy." "God made you just the way you are for a reason." "Made a whole lot of you too, so there must be a big reason." "[(laughs] Son." "You are on your pilgrimage road now, Bran." "Keep God first, and only worry about what he thinks." "Not anybody else." "And he will always show you the right way." "Congratulations on your son's baptism." "[giggles]" "Hell, I'm getting tired of this." "We're only 17 years apart, it is obvious that we are brothers." "[laughing]" "[Barbara] I'm sorry, Marty." "[Marty] All right, let's do this." " You got everything?" " Yep." "I'll see you at the game." "I'll go get the sunblock." "All right, thank you." "Oh, no." "[scoffs] How much we got in our checking account?" "Another red letter month for the Burlsworths." "Well... you know she wouldn't let us." " Even if we can afford it." "I know." "Oh, look at this yard." "If that boy is on that couch, eating chips and cheesecake again, I'll explode." "[sportscaster] There goes Foster across the 44, 43." "What, no sweets today?" "Is this your idea of a diet?" " Oh, hi, Marty." " Mama." "Oh, come on, really?" "You think it's such a good idea for a 12-year-old boy to sit on the couch all day, eating chips and cheesecake?" " Marty." " Would it kill him to do some chores?" "He needs to go outside and get exercise." "He's a ten-pound hen with a five a pound sack." "[sportscaster] Freddie Childress." "How'd you like to face him?" "[man] Oh, he is alone, and he plays on that right side right now with..." "That's gonna be me one day." "[Marty] Oh, is that right, cheesecake?" " It looks like you're well on your way." "[gasps]" "I'm serious." "I'm gonna play for the Arkansas Razorbacks." "I believe you, honey." "Hmm." "But if you want to be a Razorback, you've got a lot of work to do." "We still got those old gloves around here?" "[chuckles]" " [whistle blows] - [coach] All right, listen up, girls." "On this field, I am your mother, and I am your father." "I am your mother and father combined." "Now, who wants to play for the Hawks?" " [boy] Me, coach." " [boy #2] I want to." "All right." "All right!" "Who wants to play in the NFL?" "[boy] I do." "All right." "So, get out there, and play like you mean it." "Get out there!" " [whistle blowing]" " Get out there, get out there." "50 million kids in America, and they all think they're going pro." " Boy, they're stupid." " Ls that Brandon?" " Yeah." " What you been feeding that boy?" " Chips and cheesecake, mostly." " [laughing]" "Better hope nobody puts an apple in his mouth." "Somebody might try to roast him." "[snorting like a pig] Eh?" "[laughing] [man] Here we go." "You'll be fine." "[groaning] Burlsworth, get over here." "Get over here!" "Just get in there and defend." "Don't screw it up." "Hey, fat boy, your helmet." " Hold on, he's going in." "He's going in." "[gasps]" " Go Brandon!" " Brandon!" "Yeah, yeah, now you see what's cooking." "A little Burlsworth action coming." "Come on, Brandon!" "Here we go, big boy!" "[announcer] It's 4th and goal on the Ram's 3-yard line." " [crowd cheering] - [whistle blows] [man] Grenade, grenade." "Thirty, gopher, gophers." "Ready, set, go, go!" "Go, go!" "Go Brandon!" "[cheering continues]" "Right away, Burls." "I knew it." "That a way!" "That a way!" "Get in there." "Yes!" "That's my brother!" "That's my brother." "[laughing] [coach] Take him down." "What are you doing?" "Take him down!" "[announcer mumbles] ...touchdown." " Score% team 13..." " Woo-wee!" "He is ferocious. [laughs]" "Burlsworth, you are never playing defense again, ever!" "Ever!" "Do you hear me?" "Get over here." "Get over here." "Get your fat ass off this field." "Get your..." "What are you laughing at?" "Get your fat ass off this field, before I kick it off!" "What is wrong with you?" "Burlsworth, are you deaf?" "You are never playing defense ever again." "Do you hear me?" " I'm gonna kick you off this..." " It's all right, Brandon, good try." " [light applause] - [woman] That's right." "[man] What's your name, boy?" "Brandon Burlsworth, sir." "It's nice to meet you, Brandon." "I'm the head coach up at the high school." "I know." "That's Coach Tice." "Tough day today, son." "You should be thankful." "No, I mean it." "Seems bad now, but days like today keep a man riled up for a long time, if he responds right." " You wanna play for me someday?" " Yes, sir." "The way I see it, if you're ever gonna play it down, you're gonna be the first one here, and the last one to leave." "And that's how you respond to today." " You got me?" " Yes, sir." "All right." "Now, I'm serious." "The first one here." "I'll see you in a few years, maybe." "See you then." "You did a great job." "I'm proud of you, too." "Thank you." "[man] Hey, family, how you doing?" "Barb, you're still the prettiest thing in captivity." " [Barbara] Good evening, Leo." " Good evening." "Well, superstar, you ready for a boys' night out?" " Yeah." " Come on." "Did you try out for the team?" "Let me get that for you, Daddy." "There's kids around." "Yeah, my kids." "Including you." "Not one drop, you understand me?" "You screw up, I don't care what Brandon says, you'll never see him again." "You know, it's been a few years since you've seen me, but I'm still strong." " I can whip you to a frazzle." " A few years?" "Other than two weeks ago, I haven't seen you in ten years." "The only thing about you that I remember was strong was the smell of booze." "I have no idea how you got Mom to agree to this." "Marty." "Marty, your father is well-aware of the ground rules." "Eh..." "We've been over them, many times this week." "Yeah, some "ground rules" is Barb-talk for riding on my butt." "Now, I was off the road for awhile, but I'm..." "I'm back on now, I'm back on." "And I do believe Brandon has the right to know who his daddy is." "Like he doesn't have enough against him already." "[Brandon] Marty?" "Are we gonna go now?" "Why, you two could drive Saint Francis to drink." "Pardon me." "You came back." "Yes." " [Leo sniffles] - [woman] Why?" "[Man] I don't know, exactly." "[woman] Why did you go away without saying anything?" "I don't know that exactly, either." "I think it was because of that fright." " I know that sounds strange..." " Whoa." "You're looking at something I lost, boy." " What's that?" " My friend." "But I ain't complaining." "Yeah, there was a lot of boys who didn't have any prime." "Well, Why'd you stop playing?" "[sighs]" "Well, your mama used to say, God made me for two reasons." "One was to love her, and the other was to play good music for good people." "She called it, "My Pilgrimage Road."" "She's a good woman, your mama." "Pure, bright light." "Yeah, she is one great flower, your mama." "But... she had horrible taste in men."

" I'll get back to you all on that." " Have a good day, coach." " Get out of here, big fella." "Morning, coach." "Sleep well?" "[groans]" "You really got to get some new material, boy." "I get here plenty early." "Uh, you took what I said about being the first one here and the last one to leave literally, didn't you?" "I didn't know you was part rooster." "I'd never said it." "You think I'm wasting my time, coach?" "It doesn't matter what other people think, it only matters what you think." "But, coach... it's natural for some guys." "It's like they were made for it, and I wasn't." "I have to suffer for everything I get." "You know, maybe it's not what God wants." "So, one guy gets $10,000 handed to him, and another guy has to work for it." "Now, they both got $10,000, but the second guy gained a whole lot more along the way than just the money." "Now who do you think is better off?" "Still wanna be a Razorback?" " Yes, sir." "Real bad." " Good news." "I got you a visit." " Coach, are you serious?" " Now, hold your horses." "You're meetin' Coach Bender, the O-Line coach." "I told him you were a diamond in the rough." "It's not an offer." "It's just an unofficial visit." "Thanks, Coach." "What's that mean, unofficial?" "Well, in your case, it means it's a long shot, so, you just go and have fun, okay?" "Yes, sir." "Brandon." " Yeah?" " Where are you going?" "Oh." " Sorry, Coach." " Good Lord, son." "[Marty] You just had to be the first one here, didn't you?" "[chuckles]" "That's pretty awesome, isn't it?" "Bran." "Don't get too attached, all right?" "I mailed these tapes out to every school on your list, and we got nothin'." "I didn't want to go to those schools, anyway." "What?" "I'll handle the stuff on the field." "You just handle the stuff off the field, and we'll be just fine." "Bran, don't you think if they really wanted you, they would have made this visit official?" "Have faith, Marty." "This is my road." "Okay." "We'll keep trying." "Who knows?" "Hand out enough of these tapes, maybe we'll get lucky." "Excuse me, coach." "Coach." "Marty Burlsworth." "That's for you." " I'm a janitor." " You..." "Oh, well, doesn't mean you can't appreciate some good football." "And if you like what you see, his name's Burlsworth, talk him up." "Excuse me." "Sorry." "[marching band playing]" "Hey." "Watch where you're going, turd." "Sorry, man." "Sorry." "You're not called turd." "Excuse me." "Coming right through here, thank you." "[man] Good afternoon, gentlemen." "It's Coach Bender, It's Coach Bender." "[overlapping chatter]" " Shake his hand, shake his hand." " And you're Chris, right?" " Yes, sir." " Well, thanks for coming out today." " Brandon Burlsworth..." " Hey, how you doing, coach?" "I know who you are, big fella." "Look at you, I can tell you've been working." "Look at this, I got myself a line next year, don't I?" " It's good to see you all here, gentlemen." " This is Brandon." "Listen, enjoy the game, fellas." "I appreciate you coming out." "We'll see you all later." "[announcer] Please welcome Timothy Gunter, your Arkansas Razorback marching band." "[Woman] Woo!" " [excitedly] Marty, Marty!" " Yeah?" "That's Coach Bender right there." "Go talk to him." " Say something, please." " What am I supposed to say?" "Hey, coach." "We'll call ya." "Uh, coach, listen..." "All right, I'm gonna cut right to the chase." "This is D1." "This is the S.E.C." "It's not some rinky-dink league." "How big are you?" "6'2". 245, I think." "But it ain't the size of the dog in the fight, coach." "Says the poodle to the pitbull." "You're high school-sized, son." "You've got to be 300 to play liner at this level." "That's all there is to it." "So, you tell your coach it was a good try." "I appreciate you coming out." "But we're just wasting our time here." "I'm sorry." "You're just not big enough." "Thank you, coach." "Come on, let's go." " Bran." " I can get bigger." "You wanna walk-on, have your own way, we certainly won't stop you." "We can always use a warm body on the scout team to hold blocking dummies." "And if it will make you feel any better, I'll even make you an invited walk-on." "But I wanna make one thing absolutely clear, there ain't no way you're ever gonna play, not here, not at this school." "God bless." "Thank you, coach." "Thank you very much." "Well, I guess that does it." "The good Lord just didn't make you the right size." " Hey, hey, hold on." " What are you doing?" "Coach said I gotta get bigger." " Really?" " Yeah." " You want change?" " Uh..." "You've gotta be kidding me." "Have I told y'all lately that I love ya?" "[team] No, coach, you haven't." "Well, I'll have to get back to you on that." "You know, football's a rough game." " [whistle blows]" " It's unpredictable." "Life itself, squeezed into 60 minutes in 100 yards." "Now, you can't control who your mom and daddy is, but you can control how hard you work." "[Clapping]" " Sow with thought, you reap in action." "Sow with action, you reap a habit." "You sow a habit, you reap a character," "You sow a character, you reap a destiny." "Every place starts with a cadence, and ends with a whistle." "What you do in between, determines your legacy, so make sure you give it everything you've got until you hear that whistle." "Is that understood?" "[all] Yes, sir!" "Hey, coach." "Where's your mama, Brandon?" "You got a scholarship offer." "[chuckles]" "Arkansas Tech." "Full-ride." "Coach Oliver's asked me to hand-deliver it to you." "Yeah!" "My little brother's gonna be a college boy!" " Congratulations, son." " [Barbara] I love it, Brandon." " It certainly is closer." " Closer?" "Well, we got a call from Army the other day." "We thought it was perfect, because he's so strict about schedules but I don't think his grades were good enough to get into West Point, anyway." "I'm not going there, or anywhere else." " I'm a Razorback." " Whoa, whoa, whoa, we're talking about a college degree here, Brandon." "Your grades weren't good enough to get an academic scholarship, son." "If I was in your financial position, I'd take this." "But aren't you the one who told me, it doesn't matter what other people think?" "It only matters what I think?" "[audience clapping]" "This next graduate has accepted a scholarship to play football at Arkansas Tech University." "Brandon Burlsworth." "[applause continues]" " Woo!" "'[cheering]" "All right, now." "Everybody say, "Arkansas Tech."" "[both] Arkansas Tech." "Eyes." "Mama, stop squeezing him so much." "Come on, one more time." " You ready?" " Come on, Mom." " I'm not going to Arkansas Tech." " What did you just say?" "I'm gonna walk-on at Arkansas." "Arkansas?" "And how you gonna afford that there, cheesecake?" "This family cant afford a stick of gum at this time without a co-sign." " It's what I'm supposed to do!" " Oh, really?" "If that were true, you think it would be a little bit easier?" "You think God would give you D1 dreams with D3 body?" "You got one shot at this." "And you got a full-ride." "Do you know what I would have done to have gone to college?" "Oh, look at you." "Yeah, it's easy to be all pious when you're 18 years old." "What happens when you're 40?" "How are you gonna pay for your rent, with what?" "Faith?" "Huh, how are you gonna pay your gas, and food?" "I'm going to Arkansas." "Oh, really?" "[laughing sarcastically] "Going to Arkansas."" "[laughing continues] [car revs and stalls]" "[Marty chuckles]" "Looks like you're not going anywhere, there, cheesecake." "Woo pig sooie." "Mama." "Let's go." "Whoo." "[Barbara] Can you help me do that?" "That way, this notice will be paid." "Yeah." "How much could you... hold on." "Give me that number." "Times 12, right?" "[knocking]" " Hey." " Hey, Mom." "Leo's agreed to help you with the car to get you back and forth to school." "Well, it won't be much, but, it'll be the best we can afford." "And, also, I just found out I can get a second mortgage." " Wh..." "Mom!" " You will be the first Burlsworth to get a degree." "You're gonna make something of yourself, you hear me?" "But I can only do it for one year." "Mama, that's... that's all I need." "I mean... [gasping]" "I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna earn a scholarship, and... and I'll pay you back every penny, whatever it takes." "I know you will 'cause I'm gonna need it." "[laughing] Oh, honey, guess what?" "You're gonna be a Razorback." "A Razorback." "That's right, Mom." "I'm gonna be a Razorback." "[laughing]" " I love you." " I'm so... woo!" "[engine starts]" "Remember, you can't just trust." "You have to obey, too." " You can do this." " Yes, ma'am." "Just, you be careful." "Mama, he's not going to Alaska." "It's a 90-minute drive." "When it's your baby driving over those mountain roads," " it feels like a million miles, Marty." " Yes, ma'am." "Hey, you watch out for old big trucks." " [g roans]" " And pray." "When Brandon was a little baby boy, we used to call him 18-wheelers." ""Big Old truck."" "Look, look, it's an easy drive, okay?" "Once you get to Marble, you're halfway." "Oh, Vickie?" "Yeah." "Vickie and I got this for you." "We'll put you on our plan." " Marty, I can't." "Marty." " It's already done." "All right?" "You can call me anytime you want." "I mean that." "Be careful on the road, okay?" "I'd tell you play by the rules, but I'm as unsure if they are any." "I miss you guys already." "This will always be my home." " Make us proud, son." " Stay away from those fast women." "[chuckling]" "Stop that." "Come on." " Get out of here, cheesecake." " Good luck, honey." "Don't forget your sundae, son." "All right?" "[laughing]" " All right, 'cause he's watching it." " Get out of here." " Keep working on that footwork, now." " Good luck, honey, we love you." " Drive safe, son." " We love you." "Phone's always on the hook!" " There he goes." " Call me when you get there!" " There's your baby." " There he goes." "There he goes." "[Barbara] I think Marty's going with him." " [laugher]" " Marty." " [Marty] Yeah." " Come on back now, Marty." "[man whistling]" "[sighs]" "Pleased to meet you, Mr. Burlsworth." "My condolences for a grave injustice." "I love working on these." "You ever do any whittling?" "There's nothing so satisfying when you finally finish one." "I just had to get out of there for a while." "Well, I don't blame you." "Today ought to be about you." "Your brother, your family." "You've got a bunch of busy-bodies up there, trying to make it about something else." "Holding their hands in prayer when they ought to be shaking their firsts in anger." "And who are they worshipping up there, anyway?" "A god who was unable to prevent this tragedy?" "Or the one who was just unwilling to?" "It's just what they know." " Traditional stuff." " [chuckling] Oh, well." "Used to use leeches to bleed out a fever, too, but we got over that, didn't we?" "That was your brother." "Right there." "Right there on that field." "That's real." "What happens out there either is, or it isn't." "There's no maybes." "That's Brandon." "So, I'm with you, would it really honor his memory, to crawl into that gym, face that casket, and give a thanks that you don't feel." "Hey, Marty." "I'm so sorry." "Thanks, Mikey." "Well, I know they say "Trust in the Lord."" "I'm trying." "Me too." "Yeah." "The Lord gives, the Lord takes away." "Only trouble is, he only gives for just a little while, then he takes away forever." "Coach Tice said we could put flowers out on the field for the service." "The seven of us have been all over the last couple of days, picking up donations." "That must have been some doing." "If something's worthwhile, you've got to be hard-headed enough to stick with it, even when it hurts." "Brandon taught us that." "Yeah, that's gonna be a real nice gesture, Mikey." "It might just turn things right around." "He's gonna be all right, Barbara." "Hard day." "Life isn't easy." "Nothing worth having ever is." "Praise God." "[people chatter]" "Wow, fellas, look at this guy." "Whew." "And I thought I was fat." " God, you are fat." " He's way fatter than me." "He's fatter than you." " [man] Just by a little, though." " More than a little." "All linemen, you're coming with me." "Say good-bye to Mommy and Daddy." "You belong to me now." "Have a good morning, welcome to university." "Yeah." "Thanks for turning down all of those scholarships." "Good luck, boys." "[man chattering]" "[man] 272, coach." "[grunts] You can't hit that." "Next." "Burlsworth." " The walk-on." " Yes, sir." "[man] Woo." "How many Twinkies did it take to do that?" " [chuckling]" " They'll let anyone walk on." "I'm telling you." "[man] 330, Coach." "6'3 1/2", 330." "I had you at 6'2", 245." "You are Brandon Burlsworth, right?" "Yes, sir." "You said I wasn't big enough last fall." "You telling me you put on 85 pounds in one year?" "[chuckles] That's gotta be some kind of record." "I got a bit taller, too." "But that's God's doin', not mine." "Mm-hmm." "Well, I don't know whether to congratulate you, or put you on life support." "50% body fat ain't exactly what I had in mind." " [laughing]" " Go get your gear, lunchbox." "Oh, hoo hoo." "[man] Stay right where you are here." "Uh, Coach Ford's got a new policy, he's gonna put a walk-on in every suite." "If scholarship players need anything," " you're gonna get it, okay?" " [laughing]" "And, uh, you two are rooming together." " [laughter]" " Go pick out your lockers." "Burlsworth, those are the scholarship lockers." "Walk-on's over that way." "Yo, coach, just tell him there's cupcakes in there." " Large." "Extra, extra large." " With icing." "Ooh, that boy's big." "Extra large." "Extra large." "Come on, stretch it out, boys!" "Stretch it now and carry off the field later." " Up!" " [man] Coach?" "I want you to figure out which one of these linemen are the oreo-nibbling, ningy-tendo playing ones, and which one of them just getting the gravy off mom's cooking." " All right?" " Yeah, I got you." " Come on." " Fast feet, fast feet, fast feet!" "Come on, fast feet." "That's half speed, gentlemen." "I need fast feet." "Pick it up, boys, pick it up!" " This is not good enough." " [laughter]" "Turd." "Come on, Burlsworth." "You're up." "Ready to go to school, son?" "Woo!" " Get set!" " [whistle blows] [laughter]" "Come on, fatty, let's go!" "Come on!" "You can walk, can't you?" "You obviously can't hit a sled." " Bring it up, bring it up, bring it up." " [whistle blows]" " [whistle blows]" " Go!" "[heaving] [vomits]" "Well, he wants it more than any of them." "Yeah, he's trying, all right." "He just might make it." "Make it?" "I just hope he lives." " [loud thud]" " Oh!" "When are you gonna learn, it is not about strength and size, it is about footwork." "Skills." "You know, everybody thinks that the backs and the receivers are the skilled players." "Uh-uh." "What they got is God-given talent." "You can't teach that." "A skill is something that you learn." "And that's why linemen are the real skilled players, because everything that you do, is something that you learned." "Burlsworth, barn, bam, barn!" "And your hands inside." "Hit 'em on the steering wheel, drive that mat." "Coach?" "[man] Bring it back, bring it back." "Y'all keep working." "Why are you wasting your time working with that kid?" "This ain't a fantasy camp." "He's a walk-on." "Stick a blocking dummy in his hand." "We got two weeks before the season starts," "Everybody on my line is gonna get a chance, coach." "We just might find a diamond in the rough." "[chuckling]" "You looking for diamonds, go to Murfreesboro, okay?" "Work with the ones who can help us, Mike, please." " Come on, man." " [man] Come here." " Let's go five steps..." " Sixty-four, 69, and 42." "I want you to report to coach Ford, right now." "The rest of you, you're gonna be redshirtin'." "That means no ball this year." "You're gonna be on the scout team." "But, coach, I mean... what about us?" "Well, all the walk-ons that are left are gonna be redshirtin', too." "But coach." "Redshirt?" "You saying that, we don't even get a chance to get a scholarship this year?" "Scholarship?" "Um, [chuckles] oh, boy." "Not easy getting a scholarship." "But what you are doing is helping the team get ready every week." "And in that regard you are invaluable, so I want you to hold your heads high." "All right, now let's call it up." "[blows whistle]" "Let's go, baby." "Bring it up, bring it up." "[overlapping chatter] [man] Way to work today, way to work." "[man #2] "Ours" on three." "One, two, three." " [all] Ours!" " [man] Hey, freshman, put that up for me." "[Brandon] Coach?" "Coach Bender." "I really need to earn a scholarship before the end of this year." "Are you telling me you're not gonna even give me a real shot?" "Listen... you stick with it, we're gonna let you dress out for the last game." "But, after that, my final cuts for spring go on next year." "We don't got a lot of room, so if you don't make it, we're gonna need that uniform back." " Okay." " Listen, Brandon." "You should be real proud of yourself for what you've been able to accomplish so far." "I am." "[rock music playing]" " Man, we sucked." " Man, stop depressing yourself." "We got a party to go to tonight, you should be happy." "You coming, Shamu?" "Oh, wait, that's right." "You don't drink." " I got something to do." " Yeah, I bet you do." "[loudly clears throat]" " Please don't do that." " [man laughs]" "That's your man." "Really?" "Oh." "That's cold." "Woo." "[laughter]" "Don't fall over going back to the bed, fatty." "You're pathetic, man." " [laughing]" " Unbelievable." "[man] Yo, man, I swear that dude is a trip." "He's like an OCD poster child." "[man #2] Hey, you've gotta kind of admire it, though." "You know he recopies his notes in class every night?" "Man, come on, Ward." "Get out of his stuff." "[indistinct chatter]" "I mean, if he found so much of a nickel on a paper, he'll buy his Wal-Mart stock with it." "You should be buying SlimFast with it." "That's what I'm saying." "Fellas." "Has he gone even a single week without running back home to his mama?" "No, of course not." "Because he's got to go tell her all the naughty things we say." "Man, I swear, I think that kid's a robot." "You know he follows the exact same schedule every single day?" " Yeah, but..." " No, but I'm saying, Garrett." "He's like if Rain Man and C-3PO had a love child." "[Ward chuckles] No, no, no." "Rain Man and C-3PO are much cooler than that fat geek." " [laughing]" " Come on, man, cut him some slack." " Slack what?" "Yeah." " [Ward] What is with you?" "[Barbara] You wanna take these cookies back to your friends?" "We got plenty at home." "I thought you said I wasn't fat, Mama." "You're not fat." "You're just a big old boy." "I'm not getting a scholarship." "They already redshirted me." "I know." "Marty told me." "He's been sneakin' away to some of your practices." "Said you might get to dress, though, for the last game." "If you do, We'll get some great pictures so you can show your grandkids you were a Razorback for a day. [chuckles]" "Now, don't forget your laundry." " You called for it." " Thanks, Mama." "And watch out for old big trucks." " I will." " And pray." " Love you, Mama." " I love you too, son." "[engine starts]" "I..." "love... you." "Bye, honey." "[grunting]" "[Coach Bender] That's it, move those feet." "[whistle blows]" " Whoa!" "Whoa!" " [whistle blows]" "Jackass, what the hell you trying to do, make scout team All-American?" "I was just going to the whistle, like coach said." "Hey." "You hurt a scholarship player, and you are out of here." "You understand me?" "I don't know why I keep letting your fat, awkward ass stay here anyway, but I'm about done, Burlsworth." "Some people were made to play football and some weren't." "Why don't you just go home?" "And quit wasting everybody's time." "[sniffling]" "What are you all staring at?" "Not one of you have proven to be smarter than he is." "I can't believe this." "You know, what, gentlemen?" "Hit the showers." "Just wasting time here today, anyway." "Brandon, hold up." "Hey, I was just trying to do it right, coach." " I..." "I didn't wanna let you down." " Uh-huh." "Look, um, you realize I'm just doing my job, right?" "Yes, sir." "Look, I'm gonna..." "gonna tell you a story." "There's these two brothers they're walking along, and they come upon this big pile of shit, and the first brother, he dives right in." "He starts digging with everything he's got." "And the second brother, well, he don't want nothing to do with it." "You with me?" "Yes, sir." "Two brothers." "One pile, of, uh, manure, and one brother doesn't want to dig." "Right." "Manure. [chuckles]" "And the, uh, second brother says to the first one," ""What are you doing?" "Why are you digging so hard?"" "And the first brother says, "With a pile of manure like this," "I figure there's gotta be a horse under here somewhere."" "[laughs]" "Now, I don't know if you belong here, or not, and I won't know until you lose some weight, and I mean a whole lot of weight." "Who knows, maybe underneath all this manure there just might be a horse in there, somewhere." "I'll do whatever you say, coach." "You tell me to do it, and I'll do it." "Good." "So, after that gut's gone, we gotta put all that weight back on, except this time, it's gonna be muscle." "A whole lot of muscle, that means a whole lot of work." " You up for it?" " Yes, sir." "All the way." "[alarm ringing]" "Come on, let's see where we're at." "Atta boy, son." "No more biscuits and gravy." "Hey!" "Hey!" "There you go." "You almost had it." "Hey!" "Listen." "If I could teach my son how to walk, I can teach you these steps." "You can do it." "[groaning]" " [man] To the line." "To the line." " [man #2] Let's go." "Pick it up." " [panting] - [Coach Bender] Come on, Burlsworth." "[alarm ringing]" "[Marty] Come on, Brandon!" " Come on!" " [Brandon panting]" "Come on, come on, come on." "Hey, if you wanna be a Razorback, you gotta earn it." "You can do this, come on, keep flying." "Come on!" " [panting]" " Come on, Brandon." "How bad do you want it?" "Move them feet." "[groans]" "That's pretty good." "[man] Come on, come on, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go." "Finish, finish, finish!" "Atta boy." "Hey, watch it, big boy. [laughs]" "You're gonna hurt me now." "[overlapping chatter]" " He's looking pretty good, right?" " He is." "[indistinct chatter] [man] Dude, just walk on the grass." "[rain pouring]" "[chuckles] [grunting]" "[whistle blows]" "Hit it, hit it!" "You're a big boss, move that sled!" "Way to move it, Brandon!" " Atta way, Burlsworth." " He's good." "There is no tomorrow!" "You let the turd beat you." "See what the scale says." "Hop on up." "Yoo-hoo!" " We did it, coach." " Yes." " You're amazing." " Yes, sir." " Pull your pants up, Brandon." " [laughs] Oh, sorry." "[laughs]" "They broke the mold after you, Burlsworth, that's for sure." "Burlsworth!" "Burlsworth, you're up." "Come on, son." "Man, if this dude ever played in a real game," "I'm gonna be All-American." "[all shouting]" "Listen, you're not gonna beat 'em, he's best we got, and you just lost all that weight." "But, if you remember your steps, he won't embarrass you." " [Brandon] Yes, sir." " [growling]" "All right then, let's line it up." "[grunting]" "Set." "[whistle blows] [silence]" "Okay, let's try that again." "[players cheer]" "[man] Hey, Ward!" "Hey Ward, you suck." "Come on, do it again, Brandon." "Do it again." " Shut up!" " [man] Ward got beat by a walk-on." "Come on, Brandon." "Let's go." "Let's go, Brandon." "Set." "[growling]" "Ward, let's go." "Kill him, kill him." "[screams] [whistles blows]" "[grunting]" " Man, get off me." " Whoo, let's go." "Get off me, man." " Get off!" " Atta boy, Brandon!" "[cheering]" "What is wrong with you?" "You just got your butt kicked by a walk-on." "Coach, I've played against walk-ons." "That is no walk-on." "[cheering continues]" "Hey, coach." "It's too bad we're passed our limit." "Limit for what?" "Scholarships." "[man] You suck, Ward." "[groans]" "Hey, bro, you wanna grab a bite?" " Uh, with you?" " Yeah with me, turd." "Come on, go get dressed." "It's on me." "Yeah, okay." "[man] Big." " Wow." " What's up, Brandon?" " What's up, man?" " Hey, Brandon." " [girl] Hey, B." " Um, this is Jan." "She's a Kappa." "Grant, can... can I speak to you please?" "Me?" "Yes, you." "Okay." " What's up?" " You didn't tell me this was a date." "It's not a date, okay?" "We're just going to hang out." "What's the matter with you, anyway?" "Don't you think she looks good?" "Yeah." "She looks real good." "That's what I thought." "All right, let's get rolling, hoss." "[Grant] Okay, keep it semi-real, Lucas." "[Lucas] What do you mean, semi-real." "Are you kidding me?" "Anyway, boys, The 1994 season is almost in the books." "So, what do you guys think?" "Oh, just another banner year for the Hogs, huh?" "Why don't we toss a couple high school teams in the schedule next year," " build a conference?" " We'll beat them." "I don't know." "Y'all... y'all guys would just lose against them too so... [chuckles] [all laugh]" "That's not..." "You gave him that." "He gave him that line." " Okay..." " [Brandon] Keep trying- [chattering] [clears throat] Guys, have you heard about these new strawberry shakes here?" " Heard they are killer." " The best thing in the state." "I can't believe you didn't bring that up." "Brandon, you gotta try one." "I'm gonna pay for it." "Everyone's good?" " Oh wait, hold on, hold on, Ward." " No, I'm good." " What's up?" " Uh, Jan, would you like one?" "Oh, no thanks." "How could you not want one?" "I'm gonna get it for you, okay?" "I'll be right back." "I need two strawberry daiquiris... and double the alcohol, okay?" " Okay, cutie." " All right." "Damn." " [woman] Yes." "My God, I wanna see that." " [Woman #2] I'll see that." "[Grant] We can go see that, we're gonna go see Dumb and..." "Next time we go to the theaters, it's Dumb and Dumber." "All right." "We'll all go, the group of us will go." "[woman] All right." "Great!" "Please, be awesome." "Are you guys seriously want to be professional football players?" " [both] Yes." " [Grant] If we knew how to catch." "I can catch fine." "I heard the average life span of a football player is like 45." " No way." " Ls that true?" "Really, babe?" "[Grant] Relax, you ain't going anywhere." "I mean, when it's your time to go, it's your time to go." "But there's a difference between falling off a mountain and jumping off it on purpose." " Jan's a philosophy major." " [Lucas] I see." "Holly, what was your major?" "Oh, Holly's just here for her "MRS degree."" " You know?" " [all] Oh!" " I'm just saying." " "MRS."" " That's not true." "It's not." " Keep her in line." "No, no, no." "Where was that mountain you were talking about?" "'Cause I'm diving off." " I'm only kidding. [mouths] No." " I'm sad." " [woman] I'm just saying." " [Lucas] Hey, speaking of that." "Bran, I never did ask you, man." "What's your major?" " [Grant] He's studying business." " Really?" " Yep." " [Brandon] Well, but..." "Another one for my friend, please." "I probably won't..." "I probably won't be able to finish that degree." "Or any other degree." "I had one year to make it work here." "I failed." "Well, you won't have to worry about football doing me in." "You'll be all right, man." " [Holly] You'll be fine." " [Jan] Yeah, you don't need football." "It's okay though." "I've had a wonderful time here." "I'm gonna remember all of you." "And how nice y'all been to me." "It's been wonderful." "[woman] I'm sorry, honey." "We're not serving any more alcohol tonight." " I think you have the wrong... table..." " What is she talking about?" "Um, okay." "You sorry dogs." "[shudders]" "Take me outta here." " Brandon, I..." " Take me outta here." "I'm sorry, Jan." "All right, let's go." "You wanna go, we'll go." "Let's go." "[panting]" "[thunder rumbles]" "He won't talk to me." "I think he's trying to run off the alcohol or something." "So let him run." "He's in college, you guys, not kindergarten." "Okay, he's gotta learn to take a joke." "Grant, let the crybaby run." "Okay, he knows his way back to the dorms." "Get in the car." "Because he took a little drink." "Just 'cause this guy think he's better than us, doesn't mean we need to agree with him." "You're..." "This is so stupid." "Man..." "I'll leave you here, man, I swear to... [grunts] [sighs]" "[marching band plays] [crowd roaring]" "[cheering]" "That's fantastic." "Darn it." "I should've got a press pass." "Yeah!" "[announcer] All right, Razorback fans." "Are you ready for Razorback football?" "Wait till you hear this." "Oh, I've heard "The Hogs Call" before." "Yeah, but not from down here you haven't." "[announcer] And call those Hogs." "[crowd] Woo!" "Pig soole!" "Woo!" "Pig soole!" "Woo!" "Pig soole!" "Razorbacks!" "[cheering]" "There he is." "Brandon!" "Brandon!" "Smile, honey!" "Do you believe a Burlsworth is playing for the Hogs?" "Well, not exactly playing." "Eh..." "Mama, do you think this one game is worth 20 years of debt to you?" "My son knows I have faith." "Huh." " [camera shutter clicks]" " Go get 'em, Bran." "[marching band plays]" "Hey, Burls." "Coach wants you to clean out your locker." "Clean it?" "Yeah, he said take everything and meet him up in his office." "Uniform too." "Be right there." "[knocking]" " Hey." "How you doing?" " Good." " All right." " [cell phone rings]" "Mama, that's my phone." "You wanna grab that, please?" " [ringing continues]" " Honey, got money for a tip?" "[Barbara] Marty!" "Marty, come here!" "[laughs]" " Mama!" " Marty please, come here." "Oh, Marty, Marty." "It's Brandon." " Talk to Brandon." " What's going on?" " I got a scholarship!" " You what?" "I'm the newest scholarship player in Arkansas." " Are you there?" " Brandon got a full-ride." " A full-ride!" " To Arkansas?" "'Yes!" "[laughs]" "He says I'm a three-year-starter." "I did it, Marty." "I'm a Razorback." "I'm gonna give the phone to Vickie before I pass out." " [laughing]" " Oh Vickie, take the phone." "[laughing]" " It's such a relief." " Oh, my gosh!" "He did it." "[Barbara] Brandon, we just can't talk now." "We're too excited." "We love you." "Hello?" "A new helmet for a scholarship player." " Yeah!" " [cheering]" " Hey, Luke you know what time it is?"

"[indistinct chatter]" "They're good kids." "Yes, they are." "Good kids indeed." "But it makes me wonder, what does that really mean," ""Good"?" "Some day the stars are gonna burn out and there ain't gonna be anything or anybody left." "And nobody's gonna remember anything that we did, cruel or kind." "In the great scheme of things... if you shake my hand or spit in my eye..." "what difference does it really make?" "See in our world, Pol Pot gets 72 years." "Brandon Burlsworth gets 22." "Why?" "Just random." "Meaningless." "Just like those flowers they're dumping out there couldn't be any more random if they just sprouted up on their own." "Like this whole silly universe." "Huh." "You know, people make..." "God feel random." "They praise him when they get what they want." "They say he works in mysterious ways when they don't." "That's right, Marty." "And those people aren't like you and me." "They wanna see order and meaning." "Don't have the courage to face the universe for what it really is." "Pitiless indifference." "[blows splinters]" "Is that supposed to be me?" "Why yes it is." "Not quite there yet." "But I believe I'll get you before it's all said and done." "I hope you do." "[chuckles] [man] Marty." "[sighs]" "Hey coach." "You know, I'm sure that I'll get over his death, but I'm not sure I'll ever get over his life." "I mean, it's like I was telling the team." "I mean, we're lucky." "Now, we get to tell folks that once upon a time we actually knew somebody like that." "Well, if there were any justice in the world, you still would." "You see what the boys are doing out there?" "I mean, you really seen it?" "[man whistling]" "Hey, Gabe." "You guys are doing a great job, but you better hurry." "People are showing up already." "This early?" "Yeah, looks like "Field of Dreams" out there." "Guys, we gotta go." "Let's move it." "[chattering]" "A lot of folks out there." "Think we should start letting in early?" "You think they'd mind waiting a bit?" "Not quite ready in there." "Hey, Mom." " Oh, honey. [chuckling]" " Grandma." " Hi, sweetheart." " Hey, get over here, you troublemaker." "Pastor Rick." "Mary-Alice just told me what happened with Marty." "Try again?" "No, no, honey." "Leave him alone for now." "He just... needs to see." "I'll show you where we're sitting." "[crowd cheering]" " [cheering continues] - [players shouting]" "Get set." "Get set." "159, 159." "[shouting continues]" "[Brandon panting]" "Hut." "[crowd gasps]" "He never misses that kind of block." "I'm a dead man as soon as I get the ball." " Don't let 96 in again, you got it, Burls?" " Yeah." "All right, 5-35." "Split arrow, on two, on two." " Ready?" " Hut hut." "[players yelling]" "Get Will, get Will." "Ben 32." "Ten hut." "[crowd gasps]" "Burls!" "I said 96, not 56." "You got me?" "[man] Looks like the Hogs are on course for another losing season." "And your offense hasn't cracked 20 points in five straight games." "Why can't you guys move the ball?" "I'm on my back every other down." "Well, you might want to ask some of the other guys that question." "Excuse me." "Today was my fault." "I couldn't get my man, so Clint couldn't do his job." "I'm gonna get it corrected, and you can see what he can do." "He's the best quarterback Arkansas has had in 20 years." "What do you think your chances are...?" "Did you forget how to play football today, Burlsworth?" "No, coach." "Something's wrong with my eyes." " Your eyes?" " Yeah." "Follow me, son." "[players chatter] [laughing] [player] Ooh, it's Clark Kent." "Look at him." "[chatter continues]" "Burls, man, we play football." "Man, we don't scuba dive." " [laughing continues]" " You going swimming?" "I gotta see what I'm hitting." "Brandon, what are you doing?" "Huh?" "Did you order the "no sex specs"?" "It's the cheapest pair the trainer showed me." "Well, fire the trainer." "Brandon, what am I gonna do with you?" "Look at these things." "[laughing]" "Damn, Burlsworth." "Those things are so thick, you look at map, you can see the people waving." "I don't have to look good to play good." "God." "I knew it." "These plays aren't working." "Can you believe what these idiots are calling..." "Hey, shut it down." "We can only see what's in front of us." "Coach has got eyes in the press box." "He can see the whole field." "Brandon." "I just got a..." "What are you doing?" "Nothing, coach." "What's up?" "I just got a call from Marty." "Um..." "Your father collapsed." "He's in the hospital right now." "Apparently, he's got lung cancer." "It's going to the brain, and..." "He's lost his sight." "I'm not missing the practice, coach." "I'll go afterwards." "Son, football is just a few years of your life." "A soul lasts forever." "So come on now, let's get you home." "He's in room five, just down the hall." " [Brandon] Hey, Daddy." " Brandon?" "Aah." "I thought you that tall, bright angel coming to take me home." "Glad you're here, boy." " Daddy, I wanted to..." " I'm glad you call me Daddy." "Makes me feel good, but you know I..." "I never earned it." "So, you don't have to call me..." "I wish I could've lived a life like you, Brandon." "We all know what's right." "Well, we wanna do things right." "But... difference is you just do it." "You just do it." "I think you're lucky not knowing me." "And your brother's a good man in spite of me." "Seeing how I was, it taught him not to trust." "And that's the one thing you gotta have." "You gotta have trust." "[clears throat]" "What... what's this?" "It's the title to your car." "He paid it off." "I sold my guitar last month, trying to help your mom out." "You know, she's struggling, trying to keep the house." "Working three jobs." "You might be a big help to her, Brandon." "I hear you got a job at the NFL." "[Marty] That's a long shot, Daddy." "Not something you base a financial plan on." "Well, them long shots, they pay off the biggest, you know?" "I'd like to see Barb finally get her a man that gives instead of takes." "Now, I didn't do my part." "It's up to you boys to take care of her." "You understand?" "We understand." "You'll have plenty of time to do your part, Dad." "You're gonna be just fine." "God can heal you if he wants to and he does." "'Cause you're a good man, you deserve a second chance." "I'd give it to you." "And I can't be more merciful than God, now can I?" "So, you're gonna be fine, everything's gonna be just fine." "Let's just Pray" "Lord... make Dad better." "We ask you, Lord Jesus Christ to make him better." "So, please give us some kind of sign that we can see." "Marty, it's those who haven't seen... and have believed that are blessed." "Why?" "Why is that?" "If we ask in His name, we should get exactly what we want, right?" "It says in the book, the prayer of a righteous man is power and effective." "And if you're not a righteous man, Brandon, I don't know who is, so pray." "Right now." "Pray." "[Leo] Marty." "Let's pray." " Marty..." " No." "Lord..." "Nobody's promised tomorrow, son." "Lord, he's a good man." "He deserves a second chance here." "We're just praying for... for you, Lord, to help us out a little bit." "Just to let him have a little bit more time with us." "That's all I'm asking." "You have eternity." "What's a couple more years to you." "It's everything to us." "I want him to get to know my children, and I want him to get to know Brandon." "Lord, please, let him be better." "Please, Lord." " We ask in the name of the Lord..." " Oh, God." " Jesus Christ." " Marty." "We're praying to you Lord, please watch over Daddy." ""He maketh me to lie down in green pastures." "He leadeth me besides the still waters." "He restoreth my soul." "He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake." "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death," "I will fear no evil." "For thou art with me." "Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me."" "[crowd booing]" " Go home, Razor-hacks!" " You guys are terrible!" "[booing continues] [fan] You suck!" "[announcer] Not how the Hogs wanted to end their season." "It was a safe bet heads are gonna roll." " [crowd] Boo!" " [fan] Go back to South Carolina, fool." "What a great honor and privilege it is to present our new head football coach, who is a native Arkansan, Houston Nutt." "Thank you, coach." "Glad to be here." "Thank you." "Thank you, thank you." "[reporter] Are you gonna keep any of your coaches?" "Well, we don't know, we'll just have to wait and see." "[Coach Bender] I know how you feel about change, Burls." "But this is nature of college football." "Heck, this is nature of life." "Coach." "Is there any way you think I could make it to the NFL?" "Sure." "Easy." "Just make All-American next year and you're a lock. [chuckles]" "Well, how do I do that?" "Dad's kidding, Brandon." " Oh." " Jeez..." " [laughs]" " Sorry, coach." "Listen, Brandon." "We got a new coach coming in." "His job is to rebuild the losing team." "And you're a senior next year." "All-American?" "There's a chance you might not even get to play this year." "But you have been one heck of a player for us." "And Lord knows that you've worked harder than anybody else, on and off the field." "You're getting a master's degree while playing football." "You're the only person in this school's history that's ever done that." "Did you know that?" "But the fact is in division one, less than 2% of scholarship players ever go pro." "And those are the guys that came in with a whole lot more natural goods than you." "You know?" "Guess I'll just keep trying my best." "See if someone notices." "It's still a team sport, Burls." "And if you're hoping to catch somebody's eye, well, those people tend to pay a lot more attention to teams that win." "[clapping on television] [faint pounding]" "Hello?" "Who is that?" "Hey." "This is university property." "[lights booms]" "Brandon?" "What are you doing here at this hour?" "Working on my steps, coach." "Hold on one second." "Spring practice is over, son." "You don't have anything to prove." "I'm not trying to prove anything." "I've been doing this since I got here." "And your coaches were okay with it?" "I never told them." "Well, you know what they say, character is what you do when nobody's looking." "There's always someone looking, coach." "[sighs, chuckles]" "Just don't stay too late." "Coach." "We can win now." "This year." "You don't have to rebuild." "Is that so?" "I know how this works." "You bench the seniors, play the freshmen." "And four years from now, everybody says you rebuilt the program."

"Chokeslam, baby." "I know you like that. [grunts]" " Yo, Brandon, what are you doing?" " Burls?" " Whoa, I'm trying to get a high score." " Hey, hey, hey." "Get packed." "I found a townhouse for us this summer." "It's our senior season and we're gonna win this year." "Okay, 3-CPO just blew a circuit." "B, we're going Wi..." "Woo-hoo, look who we have here." "A couple of Razor-hacks." "You boys gonna make this neighborhood suck too?" " You guys are terrible." " I'll be right back." "Hey!" "Never mind them." "We start working tomorrow." "[Grant snoring]" "[approaching footsteps]" "'Hell, get up, 'Hmm?" " I made up some steps, I wanna show you." " What?" "What time is it?" "Steps?" "Don't worry about it, come on, let's go." "Come on." "Let's go." " Can I put on some clothes?" " Ward, you're defense." "[Ward] Say what?" "[Brandon] How bad do you want it?" "Hut." "Come on, come on, come on." "We gotta hurry." "Dig, dig." "Just dig deep." "Okay, yeah." "Right there, right there." " Come on." " [whistles]" "Seriously, guys?" "What's gotten into you two?" "Hey Lucas, get down here." "What?" "No." "Absolutely not." "Do you know what time it is?" "It's 3:23 in the morning." " It's senior year, dude." " Dude, I understand it's senior year." " But I'm tired." " [approaching footsteps]" " You're waking up people."

" We're starting Second Timothy tonight?" " Yeah." "That's the plan." " Whoa!" " Whoa!" " Garrett, how are you?" " What's up, coach?" " Good to..." "Anthony." " Hey, coach." "It's good to see you guys." "[whistle blows] [players shouting, grunting]" "You believe how hard they're working?" "Seems like a whole new team this year." "Wish I could say it's all 'cause of me." "You know that's not true." "You know, coach?" "I believe we're gonna have a winning season this year." "And Brandon Burlsworth is gonna take us there." " [whistle blows] - [man chattering]" "[][labored breathing]" "[Coach Nutt] Fifty-seven walk-ons?" "Is that normal, coach?" "That's the Burlsworth factor." "[man] Move, move!" "[announcer] And we are underway now with the Hogs' 1998 conference opener against tin-ranked, Alabama." "Okay, boys, they've rolled into our town looking for an easy win." "Let's show 'em otherwise." "Go, go!" " How bad do you want it?" " [players] Real bad." " How bad?" " Real bad." "[cheering]" "Yeah, let's roll." "Let's roll." "Let's get it." "Let's roll." " Hi, Marty." " Go get 'em, Bran!" "[loud cheering]" " [man] Yeah, move it, move it!" " Hey." "[whistle blows]" "[chuckles] [blows whistle]" " What happened?" " It was a touchdown." "Didn't you see it?" "That was amazing." "[loud cheering]" "Bye, Marty!" "Hey, you might wanna put that lens on the camera before you miss the whole game." "Oh." "Thank you." "[cheering continues] [announcer] A stunning day for this fired-up Razorback team." "They just delivered Alabama their worst defeat in 41 years." "[man shouting happily] [indistinct chatter]" "All right, boys, get together now, come on." "Marty, make sure you get the scoreboard in the background, win or lose." "Yeah." "We're doing this every game." "Trust me." "This ain't a shot I'm gonna miss." "Sir?" "Your son sure is a heck of a player." "Thank you." "All right, son, smile."

"Well, those guys are tough." "We'll have to put our heads down, work as hard as we can." "We'll see what happens." "[woman] Brandon?" "Brandon, most people think..." "Thanks, man." " Marty."

"[theme music plays]" "A sports legend is being written this season, with the amazing lives of the tenth-ranked Arkansas Razorbacks." "And their star offensive guard, Brandon Burlsworth." "Who has become quite possibly the greatest walk-on story" "In the history of college football." "This week, Burlsworth and the 8-0 Hogs face off against number one Tennessee in a game that could determine the national championship." "You heard me right." "The Arkansas Razorbacks have a chance to win it all." "[distant cheering] [announcer] Arkansas has roared out of the gate, taking control of this game from Tennessee." "[announcer #2] Number one team in the nation in serious trouble on its homefield." "Martin throws." "And open pop." "[overlapping chatter]" "Touchdown, Tennessee." "That's a go." "Finds Lucas in the end zone." "[chatter continues]" "refusing to be denied." "[announcer] Tennessee is making it clear they're not going down without a fight." "[crowd cheers] [muffled chatter]" "He's in the 50, He's in the 45, He's..." "He's absolutely shredding that Tennessee secondary." "[announcer #2] This field goal would extend the Razorback lead to five." "One, 27!" "Move it, move it, move it!" " Set." " Set!" "[men] Get the ball!" "Get the ball!" "[chatter continues] [announcer] This will be..." "This will be AI Wilson." "He has the ball out there to the 25." "To the 30, to the 35, to the 40." "To the 45, to the 50." "To the 45, to the 40." "AI Wilson at the 20." "Burlsworth got him." " Burlsworth got him." " Yeah!" "The big guard from Arkansas ran him down, and saved a certain touchdown." "A spectacular play." "Oh, my." "[announcer #2] Burlsworth's had an amazing season." "Only one penalty called on him all year and a team-high in knock down blocks." "[announcer] So, Tennessee will get marked on third down, ten into the shotgun." "Here comes the pressure, past outfield is clawed behind this landing Wilson." "And so, with 1:59 to go, Tennessee is faced with fourth down and ten." "It's Arkansas 24, Tennessee 22." "Tennessee, last chance probably in the football game." "Trailing by two." "Come on now, defense." "Hold 'em and we got this!" "[announcer] This will be marked again going into the shotgun." "Hold 'em, Ward." "Hold 'em." "This is huge, fourth down and nine." "Perhaps the season hanging in the balance." "The stadium is shaking." "Martin zips it over the middle, incomplete." "Broken up by David Barrett, tangled up with Peerless Price." "[marching band plays]" " Yeah!" " [cheering] [announcer #2] Arkansas stops Tennessee, leading by two." "On the fourth down try, Tennessee failed and with 1:54 to go, Tennessee has to..." "You see how hard work pays off?" "Now, let's run out the clock, and beg to God, and get ready for that national championship." "[announcer] And so, Arkansas begins to think that this will be a major upset win, undefeated at 8-0, about to head back to Fayetteville 9-0." "[announcer #2] And now, all Arkansas has to do is run out the clock." "Another huge victory for this Cinderella team." "Nobody can deny that the Arkansas Razorbacks earned this win today." "[announcer] I think Sports Illustrated has its next cover." "[announcer #2] Down to the 11 for Arkansas. 1:47 remaining." "One time out left." "Stoerner lost the football!" "Oh, my goodness, he stumbled and fumbled!" "And Billy Ratliff recovers!" "[announcer] Oh, Arkansas had the game won, and Clint Stoerner laid the football on the ground." "And Tennessee recovers dangerously close to scoring position." "What a devastating blow for this Arkansas team." "[marching band plays]" "Touchdown, Tennessee!" "And Tennessee remains undefeated as they snatch victory from an Arkansas team that seemed to have this game won." "This was a game for the ages." "[no audio]" "And here is the play that fans will be talking about for years to come." "Clint Stoerner stumbling..." "Coach, do you have any comment on the big play?" "One play doesn't win or lose a football game." "Uh, Clint Stoerner played an excellent football game, he threw three touchdown passes." "[male reporter] Don't you think he also fumbled away the victory when you guys had the game in the bag?" "I'm sorry, Clinton." "It wasn't your fault." "I tripped you." "I know." "You don't have to take the heat." "They'll crucify you, it'll be awful." "And it's just not fair." "You gotta tell them I did it." "But it wasn't your fault, Burls." "Falling down's a part of the game, it doesn't give me license to drop the ball." "You wouldn't have dropped anything, if it wasn't for my feet getting in the way." "I mean, after all we've worked this season," "I ruined our shot at the national championship." "Burls, five years from now, no one's gonna remember who won the national championship or not." "They're gonna have to look it up in a book." "There's nothing real about that." "You know, what I do over there in the next five minutes..." "Well, that's real." "I dropped the ball, Brandon." "Let me face the consequences." "[Coach Tice] Hey, Brandon?" "I told you lately that I love you?" "[crying] No, coach." "You haven't." "Well..." "I do." "I love you, Brandon." "Love you too, coach." "It's all right, big rascal." "Radio [announcer] Well, it was really a disappointing season for Alabama." "I mean, they're Alabama, they were..." "One last final, son." "Then you're a free man." "I've had a great time, Mama." "Thank you... for everything." "Oh." "Come on." "Here you go, man." "Now, I gotta start paying you back." "Let's not talk about that till after you win the Citrus Bowl." "[both chuckle]" "So, you been coming here all this time, Mama, and not telling me?" "Once a week since he's been at school." " Sometimes twice a week." " [mumbles]" " Y'all be careful now, okay?" "I love y'all." " [mockingly] I love you, too." " Shut up, man." " Love you, Cheesecake." " Love you." "Be safe." " All right, talk to you later?" "Bye, Mama." " [boy] Marty, don't go!" " [Barbara] What is going on?" "Hold on." "Don't leave!" "Marty, turn on your radio!" "Turn on your radio right now." "[man] Again, some very exciting news for Hog fans today." "We've just heard that right guard Brandon Burlsworth has been named first-team All-American... [screaming]" "Oh, Marty!" "Do you think he's heard?" "[brakes screech]" "Mama!" " Marty!" "Marty!" " [Marty] Go, go, go. go, go!" "Mama!" "My brother's an All-American!" "[cheering]" "Makes me nauseous!" "Thank God for you, Brandon." "There are rules, and you just proved it." "Oh, boy, here it goes." "Here we go." "[man] Marty?" "Marty, we're done." "Right, okay." "Thank you, Blake." "Thank you very much." "I wanted to return something." "This was Brandon's." "You remember when we used to play football on your street?" "[kids chattering]" "When I was nine years old, a bigger kid on the block threw my ball up a tree." "So, Brandon gave me his." "He was always kind." "Treated me like I was his age." "You were blessed to have a brother like that." "Some might argue that being blessed just makes it worse when things get taken away." "Please, that's enough." "The whole team looked up to Brandon, all those years." "We knew how hard he was working." "And he always kept faith in what he was doing, no matter how things looked." "You coming up, sir?" "Yeah, I'm coming." "You know, Mikey, you do have a point there." "Brandon did have faith." "He believed that if he worked hard and did everything he was supposed to," "God would make everything turn out for the best." "Didn't everything turn out for the best, Marty?" "[sighs]" " You wanna go up, now?" "[Marty] No, son, you go." "I'm just gonna stay right here a bit." "[sighs]" "Mam In the next pick in the draft," "Indianapolis selects offensive guard from the University of Arkansas..." " Brandon Burlsworth." " [applause] [man] Indianapolis takes Brandon Burlsworth the guard from Arkansas figures to have a long career in the NFL in an outstanding pure guard." "Was a walk-on originally..." "Everybody's gonna love this guy." "You better order a truckload of those ugly glasses." "I think they're pretty cool." " Whatchu think?" " Yeah, they look a lot better on him." " [man] Brandon Burlsworth..." " Look." "Right up there with the elite guards in this draft." "Nice pick, certainly." " [shouting] - [whistle blows]" " Break it down!" " Johnson, Burlsworth." "Remember, this is mini camp, not Monday night football." "I don't want anybody getting hurt." " Let's go." " [whistle blows]" "Hey, man, hey!" "Chill out." "He said take it easy." " What's wrong with you?" " [whistle blows]" " I didn't hear the whistle." " Okay, Johnson, get some water." " Matter fact, everybody, hydrate." " Let's go, guys." "Get some water." " Hey, Burlsworth." " Yes, sir?" "We're all adults here, Burls, call me Howard." "Are you prepared to run out of that tunnel next season when they introduce the starting lineup?" "Sir?" "Uh, I'm sorry." "I mean Howard." "You're gonna be a starter, Brandon." "[laughs]" "I'm serious." " That's funny?" " I'm sorry." "It's just..." "This is the first time in my life where something I wanted came so easy." "Easy?" "Brandon, it may have taken me a few seconds to say you're a starter, but it was years of your hard work that gave me a reason to say it." "You are living proof that when you do the right things, good stuff happens." "And you have done everything right." "Enjoy it." " [whistle blows]" " Hey, Burls..." "Life is good." "[Coach Bender] Well, looky here." "All this time I never knew I was coaching an All-American." "Didn't you always say there was a, uh, horse in there somewhere?" "[laughing]" "Hey, look at you." "You gotta go get prettied up." "You can't go to the ring ceremony looking like a hobo." " Yeah." " I mean, look at Burls." "He looks pretty sharp, right?" "I won't be there, coach." " What?" " Excuse me?" "You, missing a team event?" "That's a first." "Burls, you're a big part of why we're getting a division championship ring." "You really ought to be there." "I promised Ma that I'd take her to church tonight 'cause I gotta go back to Indianapolis tomorrow." "Oh, that's what it is." "He's about to sign a big contract, so he's already forgetting about us little people." "Right, he's gonna be all rich." "Next time we see him, he's gonna be on TV, huh?" "No." "I've always..." "I've always longed for home." "Ever since I got here." "And I'm sure I'm gonna long for it at Indianapolis, too." "When football's over, just come look for me in that old house, on Cherry Street, in Harrison, Arkansas," "'cause that's where I'll be." "Well, it's really come together for you, Burls." "And I don't think I ever met anybody who deserved it more." "Thanks, coach." "I'm gonna see you guys later." "It's time for me to go home."
