Did you know
- TriviaWith the movie being filmed in Australia, virtually all of the young men playing prospective Aggie football players were Australian. Therefore, all of the Texas accents - as convincing as they might've been - were indeed fake.
- GoofsA sign reads "Texas A&M University". Texas A&M did not become a "university" until 1962. In the 1950s, it was called "Texas A&M College."
- Quotes
- Claude Gearheart: Skeet, it ain't worth it. How can you play football? You can't even stand up straight.
- Skeet Keeler: Coach will cut me for sure if I'm not out there tomorrow.
- Claude Gearheart: Aw, hell! This ain't the Korean front!
- [Skeet hands Johnny and Gearhart his clippings]
- Skeet Keeler: "Carries the flag of Lufkin." That's what my high school coach said. Mom said I'm the lucky star in the paper; they all warned me so I wouldn't be embarrassed. Without football, I'm nothin' but a shiftless wildcatter's kid. Nobody from nowhere.
- Claude Gearheart: Ain't nobody counted on a crazy coach.
- Skeet Keeler: He ain't all wrong. I ain't had to work for nothin' my whole life. If I bomb out here, I hate to think how the folks in Lufkin will treat me... or my mama. I might as well die in Junction.
- Johnny Haynes: Nobody's gonna die. We're gonna win. Coach is the real thing.
