They got cheated by the ref on that catch that wasn't a catch

[@bbryant9455]

That hit me hard in the theaters. I didn't even play football but I did play sports. It's all about the team in that moment. Not you.

[@TheRedsox040711]

If this game played out as it was portrayed the refs in this game were absolutely brutal towards Permian. Tons of missed calls against Carter for unsportsmanlike conduct amongst other things but in the end they hit Permian for a weak holding call? Carter would’ve needed to be checked for paying those refs off.

[@cheezysheen2984]

The refs always go easy on these “hood teams” d-ville and North Crowley get away with it no matter how dirty they play.

[@DubBeats]

Real life they really play in the Texas longhorns stadium they didn’t play in the astrodome they say carter didn’t play like that….

[@Izzyd323]

According to the documentary "What Carter Lost" Dallas Carter did not play dirty and the score was low until the final minutes. It could have gone either way.

[@Datharrybare]

It's actually pretty accurate to the real game

[@christophermillsap5064]

It was a sloppy game in real life. It was cold and a downpour throughout the game. The most accurate thing in the movie that really happened was the blown call of an incompletion that was ruled a catch.

[@nopeteys2424]

You had to love Boobie passing on his knowledge to Billingsly. He knew his time was done but the best he could do was give his replacement the only think he could. Knowledge and confidence.

[@Laonda13x]

Idc what u say . Winchil had heart. He was a beast. Ride or die gun slinger with average arm. Luckily back then they wud run it 50 times a game. Carter cowboys DID cheat. It was a scandel 2 or 3 yrs later. Permian won the title the very next year. It ended good. Billingsley was a warrior. The crying scene with boobie was 😢😢my god. I love this movie.

I love how at the end of the game, Billingsley’s father gives his son his old State Championship ring… beautiful moment in the film where Don finally earns his father’s respect as a football player. A lot of kids stop playing the sport they love because they’re not as good as their fathers expect them to be. Best football movie alongside Gridiron Gang

[@debaser_666]

Read the book and watch the actual games on youtube. This aint it. Permian was up 9-7 in the 4th in the rain and a pass bounced off the turf, made a splash and a Carter player fell on it. Ref called it a completion. The ref went into permians locker room after the game to apologize and was thrown out. Winchell was 4 of 27 passing in the game.

[@CRXPhil]

This whole Dallas team got scholarships

[@samhansen6320]

The ones that weren't arrested a few months later did indeed. Jesse armsted went to the U and then pro The qb played at at Texas Tech Two of their top 3 however, Evans and I cannot recall the other, one committed to Tennesee and the other was another big name D1 school, were among those arrested Kids came from very good families and seem to be good men today, unfortunately they made a lot of very very bad decisions in a short period of time and they missed some great opportunities. The mistakes they made were not they type that could or should be brushed aside or handled with kid gloves as there were firearms involved and the threat of violence was made to one or two dozen innocent people.

@@brysonhardy9082 you said they were undefeated until they lost to Dallas Carter in the state championship.

Loved the film but I’m a little lost on why everyone was happy with that 1st down that billingsly picked up before the flag was thrown. They were out of timeouts and there wouldn’t have been enough time on the clock to get on the ball.

Yes earlier in the game Dallas carter qb threw a pass that hit the turf and bounced into the receivers arms and the black referee called it a catch

@@jonblankenship5908 yes, but the actual gameplay was different from the movie. Carter didn’t play dirty, have a big lead, nor never placekicked/punted.
