Express The
|
| 00:00:26 |
21 straight lines, |
| 00:00:30 |
that's a football field. |
| 00:00:31 |
But there are other lines, |
| 00:00:34 |
that run deeper and wider, |
| 00:00:38 |
and aren't part of any game. |
| 00:00:47 |
Strong load right, |
| 00:00:49 |
Ready? |
| 00:00:56 |
Whiskey, whiskey, 33! |
| 00:00:59 |
Been waiting for this, spook. |
| 00:01:05 |
I'm gonna kick your black |
| 00:01:51 |
I found another Pepsi. |
| 00:01:56 |
Pepsi Cola hits the spot |
| 00:01:59 |
12 full ounces, that's a lot |
| 00:02:02 |
Twice as much for a nickel, too |
| 00:02:05 |
Pepsi Cola is the drink for you |
| 00:02:11 |
America has been riding the crest |
| 00:02:17 |
I believe in |
| 00:02:20 |
I think it's going to |
| 00:02:40 |
"When you say 'Budweiser,' |
| 00:02:42 |
"you've said it all." |
| 00:02:54 |
What are you boys doing |
| 00:03:00 |
One of you better answer. |
| 00:03:02 |
Just collecting bottles. |
| 00:03:04 |
These are our bottles up here. |
| 00:03:08 |
Hey, guys! |
| 00:03:20 |
Ain't but one |
| 00:03:24 |
Ernie, you listening to me? |
| 00:03:27 |
Ernie, now! |
| 00:03:32 |
Ernie! |
| 00:03:35 |
Ernie! Ernie! |
| 00:03:39 |
This one must be stupid. |
| 00:03:44 |
I'll tell you what, |
| 00:03:47 |
and we won't |
| 00:03:57 |
Got something to say? |
| 00:04:00 |
No! |
| 00:04:02 |
What? |
| 00:04:03 |
Not only stupid, |
| 00:04:06 |
And a nigger, |
| 00:04:09 |
Look, you've got three |
| 00:04:15 |
One, |
| 00:04:20 |
two, |
| 00:04:24 |
three! |
| 00:04:27 |
Get him. |
| 00:04:45 |
Dear Mr. Martin, it feels |
| 00:04:49 |
I can't tell you the exact moment |
| 00:04:53 |
or how I wanted |
| 00:04:56 |
Maybe it just felt |
| 00:04:59 |
or maybe one day, |
| 00:05:01 |
I saw tacklers reaching out |
| 00:05:06 |
Back in 1949, at the age of |
| 00:05:12 |
I sure didn't want to be |
| 00:05:20 |
People in town would always |
| 00:05:24 |
Hey, Will! |
| 00:05:25 |
I didn't know |
| 00:05:27 |
that I wasn't running from, |
| 00:05:32 |
After dinner we gonna |
| 00:05:35 |
What do you say about that? |
| 00:05:36 |
Yeah, I like it. |
| 00:05:39 |
Okay. |
| 00:05:41 |
First Corinthians 15:10. |
| 00:05:45 |
Ernie. |
| 00:05:47 |
Yes, Grandpa. |
| 00:05:48 |
Why don't you read tonight? |
| 00:05:55 |
You can do it. |
| 00:05:58 |
"But |
| 00:06:02 |
"by the..." |
| 00:06:07 |
Ernie, take a deep breath. |
| 00:06:13 |
Okay, now try it again. |
| 00:06:19 |
"But by the |
| 00:06:24 |
"grace of God I am what I am. |
| 00:06:29 |
"And his grace... |
| 00:06:30 |
"His grace... |
| 00:06:31 |
"... which was bestowed..." |
| 00:06:32 |
"... which was bestowed upon me |
| 00:06:34 |
"was not in vain." |
| 00:06:41 |
"But I labored more |
| 00:06:44 |
"yet not I, |
| 00:06:47 |
"but the grace of |

The words, I know |
| 00:06:54 |
but they don't come out |
| 00:07:05 |
That'll bring |
| 00:07:07 |
He's wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform. |
| 00:07:10 |
He's Negro and he's playing |
| 00:07:13 |
That's right, boys. That |
| 00:07:18 |
The windup |
| 00:07:21 |
And the drive deep into left |
| 00:07:30 |
Jackie Robinson with a home |
| 00:07:35 |
and the crowd |
| 00:07:44 |
Now what? You gonna |
| 00:07:48 |
This here is a man |
| 00:07:51 |
without saying nothing. |
| 00:07:59 |
Hey! |
| 00:08:03 |
Ernie! |
| 00:08:07 |
Mama? |
| 00:08:11 |
Mama! |
| 00:08:17 |
It's great |
| 00:08:18 |
So you still got that |
| 00:08:20 |
It's a '39, |
| 00:08:21 |
A '39 Chevy. |
| 00:08:25 |
So, Marie, you have |
| 00:08:30 |
Yes, sir. Mama, Daddy, |
| 00:08:36 |
Ernie, I got married again. |
| 00:08:41 |
To a very nice man. |
| 00:08:44 |
The main thing is I can |
| 00:08:56 |
I want you to come back |
| 00:09:03 |
How far away is Elmira? |
| 00:09:09 |
It's not far at all, baby. |
| 00:09:16 |
I think you'll like it. |
| 00:09:20 |
You gonna love it, baby. |
| 00:09:28 |
Bye, Will. |
| 00:09:29 |
Bye, Ernie. |
| 00:09:33 |
So, I'll see you soon. |
| 00:10:45 |
Come on, boys. Line up! Line up! |
| 00:10:51 |
Wait till you see these. |
| 00:10:55 |
Here you go, |
| 00:10:59 |
Patrick, there's |
| 00:11:01 |
You been waiting for these, I know |
| 00:11:06 |
Uh... |
| 00:11:10 |
I'm sorry, boys. |
| 00:11:13 |
Don't worry. The other team won't |
| 00:11:20 |
Come on! Huddle! |
| 00:11:21 |
Reggie! |
| 00:11:26 |
Davis. |
| 00:11:29 |
Just give him the ball. |
| 00:11:32 |
Ready? |
| 00:11:34 |
Break! |
| 00:11:37 |
Ready! |
| 00:11:43 |
Hike! |
| 00:12:15 |
That your son? |
| 00:12:17 |
Yes. Yes, it is. |
| 00:12:20 |
Al Malette, Elmira Star-Gazette. |
| 00:12:23 |
What's his name? |
| 00:12:25 |
Ernie. His name is Ernie Davis. |
| 00:12:28 |
Ernie Davis. |
| 00:12:32 |
Break! |
| 00:12:45 |
So you're the man |
| 00:12:47 |
I own the team. |
| 00:12:49 |
I think you've |
| 00:12:51 |
Mr. Modell, |
| 00:12:52 |
This is the last time he's |
| 00:12:54 |
You've got plenty, Rex. |
| 00:12:57 |
That's good, we got it. |
| 00:13:00 |
All right, fellas. |
| 00:13:03 |
Nice big smile, Jim. |
| 00:13:05 |
Hey, Jim, you |
| 00:13:06 |
Right here, Jim, look |
| 00:13:07 |
So Jim Brown's gonna be wearing |
| 00:13:10 |
How's it feel? |
| 00:13:11 |
It feels right. |
| 00:13:12 |
Jim? Right here, Jim. |
| 00:13:14 |
Dan Boyle, Chicago Sun. |
| 00:13:15 |
You had a terrific year |
| 00:13:18 |
Seven yards a carry, broke records, |
| 00:13:21 |
number one draft choice, |
| 00:13:24 |
I'm guessing you're pretty happy |
| 00:13:28 |
I could be happier. |
| 00:13:31 |
You talking about |
| 00:13:34 |
I didn't win that. Actually, |
| 00:13:38 |
And you're saying |
| 00:13:45 |
Now, if I say that |
| 00:13:47 |
the papers tomorrow will tell |
| 00:13:49 |
who doesn't know his place. |
| 00:13:52 |
I know my place, gentlemen. |
| 00:13:54 |
It just may not be |
| 00:13:57 |
Next question. |
| 00:14:05 |
Hey, Coach. Coach, let |
| 00:14:08 |
How do you ever expect |
| 00:14:20 |
Glen Boyd, Cedar Rapids |
| 00:14:25 |
He has a C average |
| 00:14:28 |
That means he's lazy. |
| 00:14:30 |
Ben, the kid has |
| 00:14:32 |
I don't care. |
| 00:14:34 |
Next! |
| 00:14:36 |
Bridgeport Academy, |
| 00:14:39 |
He's healing from |
| 00:14:41 |
But bullshit! |
| 00:14:43 |
Anybody else? Maybe someone |
| 00:14:48 |
Isn't there |
| 00:14:51 |
Yeah, Ernie Davis. |
| 00:14:55 |
Running back, 1,300 |
| 00:14:58 |
Led his team to a state championship. |
| 00:15:02 |
Well, he's a Negro boy, Ben. |
| 00:15:06 |
Is this a new trend, |
| 00:15:09 |
It's a new trend. |
| 00:15:11 |
He might remind you |
| 00:15:15 |
Too old to butt heads |
| 00:15:19 |
Roll it. |
| 00:15:25 |
There he is |
| 00:15:30 |
Right now, he's... |
| 00:15:32 |
He breaks through both tackles and |
| 00:15:37 |
There he goes, |
| 00:15:40 |
40-yard line, 50, |
| 00:15:43 |
40, 30, 20, 10. |
| 00:15:51 |
Touchdown. Wow! |
| 00:15:57 |
He have any offers yet? |
| 00:15:59 |
About 50. |
| 00:16:03 |
Shit. |
| 00:16:06 |
It's all chrome inside there. |
| 00:16:09 |
No, no, no. Not that, that's the |
| 00:16:11 |
Oh! |
| 00:16:12 |
There you go. You got tiny legs. |
| 00:16:16 |
Mighty nice |
| 00:16:22 |
Do me a favor, |
| 00:16:23 |
Okay then. |
| 00:16:31 |
What's on your mind, Coach? |
| 00:16:36 |
All right, look, there's this kid, |
| 00:16:41 |
You want me to help you? |
| 00:16:44 |
You're leaving us a |
| 00:16:45 |
And we are up against the big |
| 00:16:50 |
You mean he's colored. |
| 00:16:52 |
He's a Negro, yes. |
| 00:16:54 |
You can't talk to Negroes? |
| 00:16:57 |
I can't... |
| 00:16:59 |
I'm not good at that salesman stuff. |
| 00:17:05 |
I know this wasn't the most welcoming |
| 00:17:10 |
I can only control what happens |
| 00:17:13 |
But I do know Cleveland never |
| 00:17:15 |
if you hadn't come |
| 00:17:21 |
What I did here was on |
| 00:17:26 |
What good would |
| 00:17:28 |
if you're not willing to help |
| 00:17:33 |
A kid like you. |
| 00:17:40 |
He's got talent, Jim. |
| 00:17:43 |
Maybe even your kind of talent. |
| 00:17:47 |
Didn't mention anything in your |
| 00:17:50 |
I hope you don't mind signing |
| 00:17:53 |
Ha! Jim loves to sign |
| 00:17:55 |
You know, Jim, |
| 00:17:57 |
Class of '31. |
| 00:17:59 |
You don't say. |
| 00:18:02 |
Is that Bill Clark |
| 00:18:05 |
Yeah, |
| 00:18:08 |
Yeah, not enough he steals Ramsey |
| 00:18:11 |
That's your man |
| 00:18:14 |
11 varsity letters. |
| 00:18:18 |
In fact, there's not |
| 00:18:22 |
Try it one more time. |
| 00:18:42 |
Let's see what he does. |
| 00:18:55 |
He's too fast |
| 00:18:57 |
He's too fast |
| 00:19:14 |
Ben Schwartzwalder. Head coach, |
| 00:19:18 |
Pleasure to meet you, sir. |
| 00:19:19 |
Pleasure to meet you, son. |
| 00:19:22 |
Do you know why I'm here? |
| 00:19:25 |
Same reason as Notre Dame, sir? |
| 00:19:27 |
Yeah, same reason. |
| 00:19:30 |
But don't just take my |
| 00:19:34 |
I'll be right back. |
| 00:19:36 |
There's another fan |
| 00:19:37 |
how much he'd like to |
| 00:19:41 |
Jim... |
| 00:19:42 |
2,091 rushing yards, |
| 00:19:45 |
132 yards and three |
| 00:19:49 |
We lost the Cotton Bowl. |
| 00:19:51 |
But that sweep where you |
| 00:19:54 |
My mama and me watched that game on |
| 00:19:57 |
She's a big fan |
| 00:20:00 |
Oh! |
| 00:20:01 |
Is she? |
| 00:20:04 |
Mr. Brown? |
| 00:20:07 |
I do, thank you. |
| 00:20:08 |
Here you go. |
| 00:20:11 |
I understand you're from |
| 00:20:16 |
What brings you up |
| 00:20:17 |
I asked him to come. |
| 00:20:19 |
To help me make up my mind. |
| 00:20:22 |
That's good to have family like that. |
| 00:20:26 |
You close to your family, |
| 00:20:28 |
I have a wife |
| 00:20:30 |
And they never ask my |
| 00:20:35 |
Seems to work. |
| 00:20:39 |
Mr. Brown? |
| 00:20:41 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:20:42 |
Were you the first in your |
| 00:20:45 |
Yes, sir, I was. |
| 00:20:48 |
And what's it like at |
| 00:20:58 |
It's great. |
| 00:21:07 |
I suppose I'd say it's not that |
| 00:21:14 |
This cake is delicious. |
| 00:21:20 |
I want you to go out. |
| 00:21:26 |
Mr. Brown, I'm not real big on lacrosse. |
| 00:21:29 |
Jim. |
| 00:21:31 |
Okay, let's see |
| 00:21:35 |
It's not as easy |
| 00:21:38 |
I'm all right. |
| 00:21:41 |
You see, lacrosse |
| 00:21:43 |
The Indians used it to settle |
| 00:21:47 |
They also played it as |
| 00:21:52 |
Make no mistake, there's |
| 00:21:55 |
but for men like us, it's |
| 00:21:58 |
So if all you nice folks |
| 00:22:02 |
what makes you different? |
| 00:22:04 |
Well, Syracuse... |
| 00:22:05 |
Not Syracuse. You. |
| 00:22:07 |
I'm not sure I follow |
| 00:22:09 |
My grandson might be spending the |
| 00:22:15 |
learning from you. |
| 00:22:18 |
So, I suppose what I'm |
| 00:22:21 |
is what kind of man are you? |
| 00:22:27 |
I just want to be the best |
| 00:22:30 |
I want to be like you, |
| 00:22:32 |
first-team All-American |
| 00:22:35 |
and I need you to tell me exactly |
| 00:22:40 |
Look, if you go to Syracuse, |
| 00:22:45 |
But Schwartzwalder, he's one of |
| 00:22:49 |
Now you're fast, |
| 00:22:53 |
You run hard, he'll show |
| 00:22:58 |
And you're good, |
| 00:23:03 |
And if you ever |
| 00:23:04 |
I'll jump on the first plane from |
| 00:23:11 |
Now let's get out of here. |
| 00:23:13 |
Let me tell you something about Jim |
| 00:23:18 |
So whatever he told you about me, |
| 00:23:25 |
Even if he said you |
| 00:23:30 |
Well, in that case, son, I would tell |
| 00:24:02 |
Ernie? Ernie Davis? |
| 00:24:05 |
How'd you guess? |
| 00:24:07 |
Welcome. |
| 00:24:08 |
I'm Lew Andreas, the |
| 00:24:11 |
I'll give you a tour of the |
| 00:24:13 |
All right. |
| 00:24:15 |
academic tradition, Ernie. |
| 00:24:17 |
Steven Crane attended |
| 00:24:20 |
and wrote The Red Badge |
| 00:24:22 |
Harry! Sorry, I'll be |
| 00:24:26 |
Harry. |
| 00:26:14 |
No one from here has ever won, |
| 00:26:20 |
No harm in dreaming, |
| 00:26:23 |
It's not about winning trophies, |
| 00:26:27 |
I'll see you at practice. |
| 00:26:32 |
Get up! Get up! |
| 00:26:33 |
That was plum awful! |
| 00:26:36 |
Let's go! |
| 00:26:39 |
Run a lap. |
| 00:26:40 |
five, six... |
| 00:26:42 |
Youmans, you move |
| 00:26:45 |
Come on! Like a big, |
| 00:26:48 |
Gerhard, goose-step. |
| 00:26:51 |
Ease up, Davis. |
| 00:26:53 |
What are you smiling at? |
| 00:26:55 |
This fine institution is |
| 00:26:57 |
I do not intend to let |
| 00:27:00 |
Get them up, come on. |
| 00:27:01 |
Right about now, |
| 00:27:02 |
what happened to that nice |
| 00:27:04 |
and begged you |
| 00:27:06 |
Let's go! Now make |
| 00:27:09 |
No matter what anyone else tells you, |
| 00:27:14 |
You are offside. |
| 00:27:16 |
You are here at |
| 00:27:18 |
And you can't win games if you |
| 00:27:23 |
Don't you step on |
| 00:27:24 |
If you step on my All-Americans, |
| 00:27:27 |
grab your donuts and |
| 00:27:30 |
Good hit! |
| 00:27:31 |
Take him down! |
| 00:27:32 |
So, you're the |
| 00:27:34 |
Yeah, I can see |
| 00:27:36 |
Yeah, except Brown was |
| 00:27:39 |
Don't be fooled by the smile. |
| 00:27:41 |
Well, he's funnier than Jimmy. |
| 00:27:42 |
Yeah. |
| 00:27:43 |
Well, maybe he can entertain |
| 00:27:47 |
Not as good as me, Lundy. |
| 00:27:48 |
Come on! Get up! |
| 00:27:51 |
You should know, |
| 00:27:54 |
He was a captain, jumped out of |
| 00:27:57 |
Killed people, |
| 00:27:59 |
By the way, I'm Gerhard |
| 00:28:02 |
Roger, everybody calls |
| 00:28:05 |
Maury Youmans, center. |
| 00:28:07 |
I'll be keeping your |
| 00:28:10 |
He embarrassed you! |
| 00:28:13 |
I want you to move Davis |
| 00:28:16 |
But he won't be eligible |
| 00:28:19 |
Why don't we just let him catch |
| 00:28:22 |
First, when he does |
| 00:28:24 |
I want him to hit |
| 00:28:26 |
Second, he's gonna |
| 00:28:29 |
He'll probably be the best |
| 00:28:31 |
I got you. |
| 00:28:32 |
Third, that's just |
| 00:28:37 |
Jack Buckley, right tackle, |
| 00:28:41 |
I was a defensive end |
| 00:28:44 |
But I think they're |
| 00:28:47 |
What we up to? |
| 00:28:49 |
Don't know. |
| 00:28:51 |
You hear a train? |
| 00:28:52 |
Why? Is it making you nervous? |
| 00:28:54 |
No, I'm not nervous. |
| 00:28:57 |
Can we get off |
| 00:28:58 |
Yeah, I'm sorry. |
| 00:29:00 |
And when you use your meal |
| 00:29:02 |
Right.... stay away from the meatloaf. |
| 00:29:04 |
What else? |
| 00:29:06 |
You'll find a Negro polar bear |
| 00:29:11 |
Good morning, sir. |
| 00:29:16 |
I swear, sometimes you feel |
| 00:29:22 |
Yes, yes, |
| 00:29:25 |
Sarette, what did Petey |
| 00:29:27 |
Yeah, it's her |
| 00:29:29 |
I don't know about our team yet, |
| 00:29:33 |
At least her sister is. |
| 00:29:52 |
Coach |
| 00:29:54 |
He's in his office. |
| 00:29:57 |
Knock. |
| 00:30:10 |
You wanted to |
| 00:30:13 |
Mmm-hmm. |
| 00:30:15 |
Davis, my system |
| 00:30:18 |
Conditioning, |
| 00:30:19 |
And on my team, I expect every |
| 00:30:23 |
Know his place on the field. |
| 00:30:24 |
Quarterback, running back, lineman. |
| 00:30:28 |
That way, nobody |
| 00:30:32 |
Same holds true |
| 00:30:35 |
I'm not sure how |
| 00:30:37 |
Well... |
| 00:30:39 |
There are some lines that some |
| 00:30:43 |
just like there are some toes |
| 00:30:46 |
And I expect my players |
| 00:30:53 |
Now, you must have a |
| 00:30:58 |
Good-looking |
| 00:31:00 |
You might want to |
| 00:31:06 |
You're a smart kid, Davis. I don't |
| 00:31:13 |
Anything else, Coach? |
| 00:31:16 |
No. |
| 00:31:17 |
May I go now? |
| 00:31:21 |
Yes. |
| 00:31:29 |
We call that, |
| 00:31:32 |
and don't worry, |
| 00:31:33 |
That's funny. I don't remember seeing |
| 00:31:37 |
Avatus Stone. |
| 00:31:39 |
Avatus what? |
| 00:31:40 |
Avatus Stone. |
| 00:31:43 |
First one Schwartzwalder |
| 00:31:45 |
What happened to him? |
| 00:31:46 |
He got run off. |
| 00:31:47 |
What do you mean, |
| 00:31:49 |
One night, just |
| 00:31:51 |
And then Jimmy |
| 00:31:53 |
and all Jim hears is," |
| 00:31:55 |
"Whatever you do, don't |
| 00:31:57 |
Wait. But what did he do? |
| 00:32:00 |
Worse. He dated |
| 00:32:03 |
Majorette, blonde. |
| 00:32:05 |
Schwartzwalder wouldn't even give Jim |
| 00:32:09 |
Made him prove himself. |
| 00:32:10 |
Yeah. |
| 00:32:12 |
Just goes to show, Coach likes |
| 00:32:16 |
A little. |
| 00:32:17 |
See you at the room. |
| 00:32:40 |
Hey. |
| 00:32:49 |
Excuse me, |
| 00:33:06 |
Would you look |
| 00:33:08 |
If it isn't enough they let a |
| 00:33:12 |
now they went and anointed him |
| 00:33:15 |
What's your |
| 00:33:17 |
My problem is I was raised to believe |
| 00:33:20 |
That's not all you were |
| 00:33:24 |
You got a big mouth, JB. |
| 00:33:26 |
Yeah, I do. |
| 00:33:30 |
How about |
| 00:33:32 |
This'll be strong load |
| 00:33:36 |
We can use this third short. |
| 00:33:39 |
Strong load right. |
| 00:33:41 |
What you got there, Davis? |
| 00:33:46 |
It's this jersey, Coach. |
| 00:33:48 |
What, something wrong with it? |
| 00:33:50 |
Yeah, I... |
| 00:33:51 |
What is it? Too big? |
| 00:33:53 |
Oh, no. Not at all. It's just... |
| 00:33:54 |
Then what is it? |
| 00:33:57 |
Somebody made a mistake. |
| 00:34:00 |
They gave me the wrong number. |
| 00:34:03 |
Mr. Davis, I put that |
| 00:34:06 |
Are you accusing me |
| 00:34:08 |
No, sir. |
| 00:34:13 |
Coach, I'm... |
| 00:34:17 |
I'm not Jim Brown. |
| 00:34:20 |
God, I hope not! |
| 00:34:24 |
And, God, I hope so. |
| 00:34:26 |
That is your number. |
| 00:34:29 |
The day you're not up to it, I'll |
| 00:34:34 |
Now, get out of here. |
| 00:34:40 |
Tight right, 34 right dig. |
| 00:34:42 |
Break! |
| 00:34:44 |
Offense, I want to see |
| 00:34:47 |
Fire off the ball. |
| 00:34:49 |
Red? |
| 00:34:50 |
Are you in or out there? |
| 00:34:54 |
Strong left, |
| 00:34:56 |
Strong left. Why don't you |
| 00:34:58 |
Sir! |
| 00:35:00 |
On one. |
| 00:35:11 |
God damn it! |
| 00:35:17 |
Lundy, you got |
| 00:35:19 |
Get off your heels and get |
| 00:35:26 |
Davis looks good. |
| 00:35:27 |
Looks good, Ben. |
| 00:35:31 |
Five, three, |
| 00:35:32 |
Break! |
| 00:35:34 |
Double tight, double tight. Watch |
| 00:36:01 |
That was a cheap shot. |
| 00:36:03 |
Oh, he's gonna get a lot worse |
| 00:36:06 |
You've got something to say, 44? |
| 00:36:15 |
You all right? |
| 00:36:17 |
You can't let him treat you |
| 00:36:20 |
That's all right. I do |
| 00:37:14 |
Hey, hey! Come on! |
| 00:37:15 |
Hey, come on! |
| 00:37:19 |
All right, all right, all |
| 00:37:26 |
Don't ever make me |
| 00:37:28 |
Back to the huddle, Lundy. |
| 00:37:30 |
You got away with a lot back in high school |
| 00:37:34 |
Those days are done. |
| 00:37:36 |
You got it? |
| 00:37:40 |
Good block. |
| 00:37:42 |
Now listen up. |
| 00:37:44 |
If you practice half-assed, |
| 00:37:48 |
Now, we have Boston |
| 00:37:50 |
and I would like not to get |
| 00:37:56 |
Now play football. |
| 00:37:58 |
Let's go. Good work. |
| 00:38:18 |
Surprise, surprise. |
| 00:38:21 |
They're saying Pete Dawkins |
| 00:38:23 |
Well, he rushed for over 1,000 yards, and |
| 00:38:27 |
He's gotta be real good. |
| 00:38:29 |
Yeah, well, he's |
| 00:38:34 |
This thing's |
| 00:38:40 |
JB, look. |
| 00:38:41 |
What? |
| 00:38:44 |
Hey! |
| 00:38:45 |
Negro polar bears. |
| 00:38:48 |
Who knew they |
| 00:38:53 |
Ready? |
| 00:38:54 |
You're not ready. Come on, |
| 00:38:58 |
Which one do you like? |
| 00:38:59 |
The one on the right. |
| 00:39:00 |
Good evening, ladies. |
| 00:39:02 |
Good evening. |
| 00:39:03 |
I'd like a Pepsi. |
| 00:39:04 |
And could you bring us |
| 00:39:06 |
You don't even be |
| 00:39:11 |
I'm so sorry. |
| 00:39:13 |
I didn't know. |
| 00:39:15 |
Yes, we go to Syracuse, |
| 00:39:17 |
we can jump in the kitchen, whip |
| 00:39:20 |
Get them, Ernie. |
| 00:39:22 |
I'm Gloria. |
| 00:39:24 |
Sarah. |
| 00:39:25 |
She's visiting |
| 00:39:27 |
Gloria and Sarah. Okay. I'm |
| 00:39:31 |
JB. |
| 00:39:32 |
And this is my |
| 00:39:34 |
How do you do? |
| 00:39:36 |
Very well. |
| 00:39:39 |
So, what are you |
| 00:39:42 |
Well, a little bit |
| 00:39:45 |
Math, basic literature... |
| 00:39:47 |
We're on the football team. |
| 00:39:48 |
And that. |
| 00:39:51 |
Oh! |
| 00:39:53 |
I don't really know |
| 00:39:55 |
Neither does he. |
| 00:39:59 |
All kidding aside, Gloria, |
| 00:40:04 |
All right. |
| 00:40:24 |
So, Sarah, what |
| 00:40:26 |
I'm majoring in education, |
| 00:40:30 |
Oh! |
| 00:40:31 |
And you? |
| 00:40:34 |
Just some basic courses |
| 00:40:38 |
some English. |
| 00:40:40 |
Look, I know what |
| 00:40:42 |
That since I'm not here |
| 00:40:45 |
or my money, |
| 00:40:47 |
that I'm not |
| 00:40:50 |
You're wrong. |
| 00:40:51 |
So, you know what |
| 00:40:55 |
Fine, Mr. Serious. |
| 00:40:58 |
What am I thinking right now? |
| 00:41:45 |
Rain still coming down |
| 00:41:49 |
The last chance |
| 00:41:59 |
The Orangemen can really use |
| 00:42:03 |
Let's hope their recruiting is |
| 00:42:06 |
Hike! |
| 00:42:12 |
And for the Syracuse faithful, |
| 00:42:16 |
as Holy Cross has knocked |
| 00:42:20 |
Let's go, ladies. |
| 00:42:21 |
Let's go. Knees up. Knees up. |
| 00:42:23 |
Pain is how you learn. |
| 00:42:24 |
Come on! |
| 00:42:25 |
Gentlemen, it is not okay |
| 00:42:29 |
especially on our home turf! |
| 00:42:31 |
Now, we gave no effort out on that |
| 00:42:35 |
Don't you puke on my gym floor! |
| 00:42:39 |
Varsity practice only, Ernie. |
| 00:42:41 |
I know. |
| 00:42:43 |
I just heard you called |
| 00:42:45 |
I'm sorry I'm late. |
| 00:42:48 |
Well, go ahead. |
| 00:42:49 |
Yes, sir. |
| 00:42:57 |
Gentlemen, do you think you |
| 00:43:02 |
Think again. |
| 00:43:04 |
You think you're here just |
| 00:43:07 |
and impress the ladies? |
| 00:43:10 |
Think again. |
| 00:43:13 |
If you think you know |
| 00:43:28 |
This is what pain is for. |
| 00:43:32 |
Now, does anyone |
| 00:43:35 |
that Syracuse won a |
| 00:43:39 |
Hmm? |
| 00:43:41 |
You're right. |
| 00:43:45 |
You are here to change all that. |
| 00:43:48 |
Ladies and gentlemen, |
| 00:43:51 |
your Syracuse |
| 00:43:54 |
Welcome to Archbold |
| 00:43:58 |
where the Orangemen |

The expectations for Ben Schwartzwalder |
| 00:44:06 |
This is a football team |
| 00:45:06 |
Hut one! |
| 00:45:09 |
On first down, Ernie |
| 00:45:12 |
as a member of |
| 00:45:17 |
Welcome to |
| 00:45:21 |
Will... Will, he said |
| 00:45:24 |
Sure did. I heard it. |
| 00:45:26 |
Ernie Davis certainly has |
| 00:45:31 |
And after an unsuccessful |
| 00:45:34 |
Kansas takes over on |
| 00:45:37 |
Hut! |
| 00:45:39 |
Let's get after it! |
| 00:45:49 |
The receiver is leveled by |
| 00:45:53 |
I'm doing your job, 44. |
| 00:45:55 |
Huddle up! |
| 00:45:57 |
Ball at the Syracuse |
| 00:46:00 |
First down and goal |
| 00:46:06 |
Yes. |
| 00:46:07 |
Did he cross the goal line? |
| 00:46:09 |
Here's the official signal. |
| 00:46:14 |
Touchdown, Kansas. |
| 00:46:15 |
What kind of |
| 00:46:17 |
We haven't gotten |
| 00:46:19 |
Jayhawks jump |
| 00:46:22 |
here at the very, |
| 00:46:25 |
Here in the second quarter, |
| 00:46:29 |
Six regular! |
| 00:46:30 |
The Orange faithful still waiting |
| 00:46:33 |
Hut one! |
| 00:46:37 |
Sarette back to pass. |
| 00:46:40 |
Throwing downfield. |
| 00:46:43 |
It's complete |
| 00:46:45 |
down near the |
| 00:46:47 |
Way to pick up |
| 00:46:49 |
A superb block on the play, |
| 00:46:53 |
Second down, eight yards |
| 00:46:56 |
Hut! |
| 00:46:57 |
Toss play once |
| 00:47:02 |
Get him out there! |
| 00:47:05 |
Davis to the |
| 00:47:08 |
Go, Davis, go! |
| 00:47:12 |
Look at that young man go! |
| 00:47:16 |
The Elmira Express virtually |
| 00:47:21 |
The Syracuse Orangemen, |
| 00:47:25 |
Go for one. |
| 00:47:27 |
And what an impression Ernie Davis has |
| 00:47:32 |
The Orangemen just may have |
| 00:47:47 |
Hey, Ernie. |
| 00:47:48 |
Hey, fellas, |
| 00:47:50 |
You guys coming or going? |
| 00:47:53 |
Hey. Welcome home, Ernie. |
| 00:47:55 |
Pops! |
| 00:47:56 |
They give you some time off? |
| 00:47:57 |
Yeah, yeah, long weekend. |
| 00:47:59 |
Look at you, all college boy. |
| 00:48:01 |
You're just gonna dirty |
| 00:48:03 |
Come on, come on, let's go |
| 00:48:05 |
Look at this! |
| 00:48:06 |
Let me carry that. |
| 00:48:07 |
If they'd run you more |
| 00:48:10 |
you would have blown |
| 00:48:12 |
Will, we won. |
| 00:48:13 |
Seems like that coach of |
| 00:48:15 |
I'll get my carries. |
| 00:48:17 |
Yeah? He promise you that? |
| 00:48:20 |
No. Thank you, ma'am. |
| 00:48:22 |
How are your grades, Ernie? |
| 00:48:25 |
Ernie? |
| 00:48:27 |
They're good, Pops, thanks. |
| 00:48:29 |
I like history, and I'm |
| 00:48:32 |
That's good. |
| 00:48:33 |
'Cause football is just a game. |
| 00:48:36 |
It's that degree that's |
| 00:48:39 |
Gonna get you a good job. |
| 00:48:41 |
Where you gonna get a good |
| 00:48:43 |
AT&T? GM? |
| 00:48:46 |
It's football that's |
| 00:48:49 |
Otherwise, he gonna be |
| 00:48:52 |
cutting coal, |
| 00:48:53 |
I wanna apologize for him. |
| 00:48:54 |
You ain't got to |
| 00:48:56 |
Don't you start |
| 00:48:57 |
Pops... Guys! Don't start it tonight. |
| 00:48:59 |
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! |
| 00:49:01 |
Relax. |
| 00:49:03 |
You're both right. |
| 00:49:05 |
Now, my plan A is the Cleveland |
| 00:49:08 |
plan B is the |
| 00:49:13 |
Come on, Ernie. |
| 00:49:16 |
Sorry, my dear, we got |
| 00:49:22 |
I'll meet you |
| 00:49:27 |
Jim Crow is alive and |
| 00:49:32 |
Yes, it is. |
| 00:49:33 |
But we can no longer |
| 00:49:35 |
and pretend that we cannot see |
| 00:49:40 |
Yes! |
| 00:49:42 |
And we can no longer stay silent |
| 00:49:46 |
Yes! |
| 00:49:48 |
Abraham Lincoln stood |
| 00:49:51 |
and spoke of a new nation. |
| 00:49:53 |
Uniontown is 100 miles away |
| 00:49:59 |
We are still |
| 00:50:01 |
That is why the NAACP is calling for |
| 00:50:08 |
That's right! |
| 00:50:09 |
All right. |
| 00:50:12 |
Come on. |
| 00:50:15 |
Boycott! Boycott! Boycott! |
| 00:50:21 |
Come to Washington with us. |
| 00:50:22 |
There's a bus going |
| 00:50:24 |
We gonna organize |
| 00:50:26 |
and let the people know this |
| 00:50:30 |
I don't think I can be a part of |
| 00:50:32 |
right now, Will. |
| 00:50:34 |
What you saying? |
| 00:50:36 |
I got a scholarship. |
| 00:50:37 |
I can't risk losing it, and |
| 00:50:41 |
I see. Did Emmett Till invite |
| 00:50:44 |
Who told you this, |
| 00:50:45 |
You don't understand. |
| 00:50:46 |
It's a different world up there. |
| 00:50:48 |
Is it? |
| 00:50:50 |
You know, your coach |
| 00:50:51 |
No understanding whatsoever with |
| 00:50:55 |
"You boys got no business north |
| 00:50:58 |
Now, leave Pops |
| 00:50:59 |
Now you got a white man telling |
| 00:51:01 |
Wait a minute. Hold on. |
| 00:51:02 |
That man don't care |
| 00:51:04 |
You're not there. |
| 00:51:05 |
You just his educated nigger. |
| 00:51:06 |
You don't know what you're |
| 00:51:08 |
and carry the ball, but that man |
| 00:51:14 |
You don't think I'm reminded |
| 00:51:18 |
Everybody there is watching me, and |
| 00:51:23 |
You Ernie Davis. |
| 00:51:25 |
You got your |
| 00:51:28 |
Now that's something for colored folk |
| 00:51:31 |
and see your name, |
| 00:51:36 |
And say,"I know him. |
| 00:51:40 |
They gonna be |
| 00:51:43 |
I think you owe them more |
| 00:52:01 |
The play action |
| 00:52:03 |
It won't be |
| 00:52:05 |
Why not? |
| 00:52:06 |
'Cause Boston College is watching |
| 00:52:37 |
All right, we start out double |
| 00:52:42 |
Just a normal double tight. |
| 00:52:43 |
Just like from the |
| 00:52:45 |
Now, we're gonna take Schwedes |
| 00:52:49 |
and we're gonna move him |
| 00:52:51 |
Only shift it over like this. |
| 00:52:54 |
All right, defense. What |
| 00:52:57 |
Now the defense, |
| 00:52:59 |
We move to the right. |
| 00:53:00 |
That's right. Even if it's shading |
| 00:53:04 |
Our right tackle? |
| 00:53:07 |
I'm gonna leave the huddle, |
| 00:53:09 |
and you're gonna start out |
| 00:53:15 |
Go left, go left! |
| 00:53:16 |
Except before we're set, |
| 00:53:18 |
He runs left, |
| 00:53:19 |
and you're gonna line |
| 00:53:21 |
And he sets up |
| 00:53:25 |
And it's evident that |
| 00:53:28 |
by the offense |
| 00:53:30 |
You lost me, Ben. The right |
| 00:53:33 |
he covers the tight end. |
| 00:53:34 |
But if he's on the left side, we cover |
| 00:53:37 |
The Holy Cross defenders are |
| 00:53:41 |
to best play against |
| 00:53:42 |
Petey, am I talking French here? |
| 00:53:44 |
Tackle lines up inside |
| 00:53:48 |
It's unbalanced, right? |
| 00:53:50 |
Yes, they shift. |
| 00:53:52 |
They have to shift. |
| 00:53:54 |
Shift, shift, shift. |
| 00:53:56 |
All right, so you've got |
| 00:53:59 |
shifted over to the left. |
| 00:54:01 |
We are going to run it... |
| 00:54:03 |
...to the right. |
| 00:54:04 |
...to the right. |
| 00:54:06 |
But that's away |
| 00:54:07 |
The weak side of the field. |
| 00:54:09 |
So, we're going to |
| 00:54:11 |
I like the way that |
| 00:54:13 |
Gentlemen, when you have a thoroughbred, |
| 00:54:18 |
Hut! |
| 00:54:23 |
I will take one-on-one |
| 00:54:46 |
That just might |
| 00:54:49 |
Damn right. |
| 00:54:52 |
"Ernie Davis is a bull-necked, |
| 00:54:56 |
"from Syracuse University, who |
| 00:55:00 |
"in 10 seconds flat." |
| 00:55:02 |
Okay, put that |
| 00:55:03 |
Don't you be modest. |
| 00:55:04 |
Thank you. |
| 00:55:06 |
You're in the same |
| 00:55:08 |
that's something. |
| 00:55:09 |
That is something, but Sarah, it looks |
| 00:55:13 |
"In his spare time, the bull-necked |
| 00:55:17 |
"baking lasagna, and writing |
| 00:55:20 |
Ernie, you never invite me to |
| 00:55:22 |
I'm hurt. What is that? |
| 00:55:25 |
Can I have a word |
| 00:55:28 |
Make me some lasagna. |
| 00:55:32 |
He can take it. |
| 00:55:34 |
Good to see you. |
| 00:55:36 |
Just turn left there. |
| 00:55:49 |
"He maketh me to |

"He leadeth me |

"Thy rod and thy staff..." |
| 00:56:10 |
40 years, Pops worked underground. |
| 00:56:14 |
Seems wrong to put him |
| 00:57:08 |
And the drive deep into |

"And his grace which was bestowed |
| 00:57:35 |
"His grace |
| 00:57:38 |
"... upon me |
| 00:57:58 |
Pops. |
| 00:58:00 |
Now, we barely got by West Virginia |
| 00:58:05 |
and they've been licking their |
| 00:58:08 |
They play by a |
| 00:58:12 |
It will be hostile. |
| 00:58:14 |
Their fans are unruly, |
| 00:58:17 |
especially when they're |
| 00:58:20 |
looks a little |
| 00:58:24 |
Now, load up. |
| 00:58:40 |
God damn it! |
| 00:58:42 |
Hey, Squirrel! |
| 00:58:44 |
Didn't I tell you to |
| 00:58:47 |
I forgot. I'll do it now. |
| 00:58:49 |
His name is Donald. |
| 00:58:51 |
What? |
| 00:58:52 |
His name is Donald. |
| 00:58:59 |
Hell, Squirrel, I don't |
| 00:59:02 |
But you see, Davis, around here, |
| 00:59:08 |
If it makes you happy, |
| 00:59:12 |
Hey, come on! |
| 00:59:18 |
Get him off! |
| 00:59:21 |
Hey! Knock it off! |
| 00:59:24 |
Hey! |
| 00:59:26 |
What the hell's |
| 00:59:31 |
Where are you going, |
| 00:59:34 |
I'm talking to you! |
| 00:59:35 |
Hey, you guys all saw it. |
| 00:59:44 |
All right, |
| 00:59:46 |
Everyone is to keep their |
| 00:59:48 |
whether you're in |
| 00:59:50 |
I don't want anyone |
| 00:59:53 |
Davis, Buckley, Baker, you |
| 00:59:56 |
Keep your heads down. |
| 00:59:57 |
It must be Halloween, |
| 01:00:01 |
We'll be safer |
| 01:00:03 |
All right, let's go! |
| 01:00:04 |
Come on, boys! |
| 01:00:06 |
The unbeaten |
| 01:00:08 |
have made the journey |
| 01:00:11 |
They'll face a rugged |
| 01:00:36 |
And there's the boot. Baker |
| 01:00:40 |
the 30, the 40 and he's finally |
| 01:00:45 |
Offense, let's go. |
| 01:00:48 |
A full house. 495 dive |
| 01:00:51 |
Thirty-five, |
| 01:00:54 |
Okie. Okie. |
| 01:00:58 |
Thirty-five, |
| 01:00:59 |
The Orangemen break the |
| 01:01:02 |
Out of the full-house backfield. |
| 01:01:06 |
The give is to Ernie Davis. Davis |
| 01:01:10 |
where he's met by a host |
| 01:01:17 |
Get him off him! |
| 01:01:23 |
Huddle up, 70. |
| 01:01:24 |
We will get no justice |
| 01:01:27 |
All right, guys. We're gonna |
| 01:01:29 |
Right, full house. 495 |
| 01:01:32 |
Break! |
| 01:01:34 |
Same play! Same play! Same hole. |
| 01:01:40 |
Run it. |
| 01:01:41 |
Thanks. |
| 01:01:44 |
Second down at |
| 01:01:46 |
Hut one! |
| 01:01:47 |
The Orangemen go back to Ernie Davis. |
| 01:01:53 |
And Davis reverses field |
| 01:01:57 |
What's he doing? |
| 01:02:08 |
Davis picks up a big block |
| 01:02:10 |
and with a stiff arm, gets free |
| 01:02:18 |
Shit, he's going in. |
| 01:02:21 |
He's at the 20, |
| 01:02:30 |
No! Knee down, right here. |
| 01:02:32 |
It certainly appeared |
| 01:02:34 |
that Ernie Davis has |
| 01:02:37 |
I got you down at the 1. |
| 01:02:38 |
You were down! |
| 01:02:39 |
No, I got in, |
| 01:02:41 |
Sir, I got in. |
| 01:02:42 |
You want a penalty, boy? |
| 01:02:43 |
Get back in |
| 01:02:47 |
Brokaw, come here! |
| 01:02:48 |
Come on, son. |
| 01:02:50 |
Davis, come in! |
| 01:02:53 |
Come on, son. Let's go. |
| 01:02:55 |
You're holding up the |
| 01:02:56 |
First down Syracuse. |
| 01:03:07 |
Why'd you pull me, Coach? I |
| 01:03:10 |
If I let you carry that |
| 01:03:13 |
all of us, we might not get |
| 01:03:17 |
That's the way they |
| 01:03:21 |
Sarette hands off to Brokaw, |
| 01:03:23 |
who punches the ball home, |
| 01:03:25 |
and the Orangemen |
| 01:03:28 |
against the Mountaineers |
| 01:03:33 |
Go home, blackie! |
| 01:03:34 |
First down for the Orangemen. Ball |
| 01:03:41 |
Sarette with the fake. |
| 01:03:43 |
Ernie Davis across the left side breaks |
| 01:03:55 |
Good run! Good run! |
| 01:03:57 |
Brokaw, come here. |
| 01:03:59 |
Strong right, fullback wedge eight. Go! |
| 01:04:02 |
Ernie, Ernie! |
| 01:04:07 |
Brokaw, get in there! |
| 01:04:10 |
Right full house, 40 broom. |
| 01:04:12 |
Break! |
| 01:04:13 |
Davis, |
| 01:04:15 |
Now, you got a white man telling |
| 01:04:18 |
...one hundred years |
| 01:04:21 |
Ref, time out. Time out. |
| 01:04:22 |
You don't have any more. |
| 01:04:23 |
We are still not yet... |
| 01:04:25 |
You're just his |
| 01:04:29 |
They gonna be |
| 01:04:32 |
I think you owe them more |
| 01:05:06 |
What the hell do you |
| 01:05:07 |
What did I tell you |
| 01:05:10 |
What are you... |
| 01:05:12 |
You scored! We're a team. I'm the coach. |
| 01:05:15 |
You're a goddamn running back. |
| 01:05:18 |
and you will do what I tell |
| 01:05:21 |
Now, you plant your ass |
| 01:05:42 |
Am I invisible? |
| 01:05:44 |
What? |
| 01:05:46 |
Am I an X, an O in your goddamn playbook, |
| 01:05:51 |
Am I Avatus Stone? |
| 01:05:54 |
Just a running back? |
| 01:05:55 |
You're about |
| 01:05:57 |
Come on, let's go. |
| 01:05:58 |
You know, maybe, |
| 01:06:00 |
the rules down here |
| 01:06:03 |
That's enough. |
| 01:06:39 |
What? |
| 01:06:42 |
You all right? |
| 01:06:47 |
Yeah. |
| 01:06:52 |
Good game. |
| 01:06:58 |
Good game, Ben. |
| 01:07:00 |
I tried not to |
| 01:07:01 |
I know. You just had |
| 01:07:04 |
Say, Ben, how many coloreds |
| 01:07:07 |
Three, why? |
| 01:07:09 |
You just be careful, Ben. |
| 01:07:11 |
Too many of them and they'll |
| 01:07:15 |
Now, you give my |
| 01:07:17 |
Coon-lover! |
| 01:07:51 |
Can I sit down? |
| 01:08:06 |
I'm sorry I lost my temper. |
| 01:08:10 |
But I'm not sorry I stayed in the |
| 01:08:14 |
Now, what kind of |
| 01:08:16 |
I've never walked off |
| 01:08:20 |
These people down |
| 01:08:23 |
They're set in their |
| 01:08:24 |
Coach, that... |
| 01:08:25 |
You're just hiding |
| 01:08:27 |
I have a responsibility |
| 01:08:28 |
That's not how it has to be. |
| 01:08:30 |
Yes. Jack, Art and me, |
| 01:08:34 |
But we can't run across that |
| 01:08:40 |
It doesn't mean a damn |
| 01:08:47 |
Is that it? |
| 01:09:11 |
And in college football, |
| 01:09:13 |
continue their dominance of the |
| 01:09:17 |
Fans, I wish |
| 01:09:19 |
to see what these eyes |
| 01:09:22 |
...brilliant displays of athletic |
| 01:09:26 |
Come on, guys! |
| 01:09:28 |
...led by Ernie Davis, |
| 01:09:31 |
Another jaw-dropping performance |
| 01:09:34 |
I tell you one thing, |
| 01:09:38 |
The unbeaten |
| 01:09:41 |
Davis, who has been |
| 01:09:43 |
nothing short of brilliant |
| 01:09:47 |
for coach Ben Schwartzwalder |
| 01:09:51 |
...nothing |
| 01:09:52 |
You know it! |
| 01:09:53 |
Crying all the time |
| 01:09:57 |
Well, you ain't never |
| 01:10:01 |
And you ain't no |
| 01:10:06 |
Settle down. |
| 01:10:08 |
All right, listen up. |
| 01:10:10 |
Coach! |
| 01:10:15 |
Gentlemen, congratulations. |
| 01:10:18 |
Undefeated with a number one |
| 01:10:22 |
Yeah! |
| 01:10:23 |
But... |
| 01:10:25 |
But... |
| 01:10:27 |
Mr. Andreas has informed me |
| 01:10:30 |
that we have been offered |
| 01:10:33 |
the Orange Bowl in Miami |
| 01:10:35 |
and the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. |
| 01:10:38 |
Now, in Miami, we would play |
| 01:10:42 |
And in Dallas, we would play Texas, |
| 01:10:49 |
If we win either game, we |
| 01:10:56 |
Texas is the tougher |
| 01:11:00 |
But to be the best, I believe |
| 01:11:07 |
So, I guess you know how I would |
| 01:11:12 |
This is your team. |
| 01:11:21 |
Texas. |
| 01:11:26 |
Texas. |
| 01:11:28 |
Texas. |
| 01:11:29 |
Texas. |
| 01:11:31 |
Texas. |
| 01:11:33 |
Texas. |
| 01:11:37 |
Texas. |
| 01:11:39 |
Looking forward to it! |
| 01:11:41 |
Texas. |
| 01:11:42 |
Texas. |
| 01:11:43 |
Texas. |
| 01:11:51 |
A lot of people think |
| 01:11:53 |
are the best team in the nation. |
| 01:11:55 |
One big reason is Clay Taylor. |
| 01:11:57 |
All-American, best Division |
| 01:12:00 |
three years in a row. |
| 01:12:05 |
Now, some folks even think that the |
| 01:12:09 |
is because we have not met |
| 01:12:14 |
I want everyone to take a good long |
| 01:12:18 |
because in Texas, |
| 01:12:29 |
You think we been south? |
| 01:12:31 |
We ain't been south |
| 01:12:55 |
Schwedes, |
| 01:13:14 |
We are now faced |
| 01:13:18 |
The forcible integration of the |
| 01:13:23 |
against the overwhelming sentiment |
| 01:13:38 |
Two, four, six, eight! |
| 01:13:40 |
We don't want to integrate! |
| 01:13:42 |
Two, four, six, eight! |
| 01:13:43 |
We don't want to integrate! |
| 01:14:01 |
We still have |
| 01:14:03 |
we still have the method |
| 01:14:08 |
and we are still |
| 01:14:11 |
that violence is |
| 01:14:14 |
That he who lives by the |
| 01:14:43 |
This is quite a ruckus. |
| 01:14:44 |
Hey, Ernie, |
| 01:14:46 |
They're calling this game |
| 01:14:48 |
In light of what's |
| 01:14:50 |
do you feel added pressure |
| 01:14:53 |
We don't concern |
| 01:14:56 |
We're just here to |
| 01:14:59 |
and take home the championship. |
| 01:15:00 |
To be honest, Mr. Page, |
| 01:15:02 |
I only think about |
| 01:15:05 |
But that doesn't mean I don't |
| 01:15:12 |
Let's check in. |
| 01:15:18 |
We've got a problem, Ben. |
| 01:15:20 |
What? |
| 01:15:22 |
The Aristocrat Hotel does not |
| 01:15:27 |
I need my team together, Lew. |
| 01:15:29 |
Now, you do whatever it takes |
| 01:15:33 |
What's the problem? |
| 01:15:41 |
Right this way, gentlemen. |
| 01:15:51 |
Fellas, looks like we once |
| 01:16:02 |
State seven! |
| 01:16:05 |
Set! |
| 01:16:07 |
Wing left, |
| 01:16:19 |
Stop! |
| 01:16:22 |
Do you think it is |
| 01:16:25 |
that's going to be running |
| 01:16:28 |
These are the goddamn |
| 01:16:30 |
If you cannot fight off |
| 01:16:32 |
let's just get on the bus and go home. |
| 01:16:35 |
Run the play again! |
| 01:16:52 |
Shit! |
| 01:16:55 |
My hamstring! |
| 01:16:58 |
This may be |
| 01:17:01 |
Look at these. |
| 01:17:11 |
Where did you get these? |
| 01:17:12 |
Where did I get them? |
| 01:17:13 |
They were sent to the |
| 01:17:17 |
Scare tactics. |
| 01:17:19 |
Doesn't have a goddamn |
| 01:17:21 |
We shouldn't play him. |
| 01:17:23 |
Maybe not even Art or Jack |
| 01:17:26 |
The NCAA is on my back. |
| 01:17:27 |
Even the Mayor of Dallas is |
| 01:17:33 |
Lew, you hired me to win. |
| 01:17:36 |
Well, I'm here at |
| 01:17:38 |
and this time |
| 01:17:41 |
So why don't you tell that |
| 01:17:43 |
I'm playing. You hear me? |
| 01:17:47 |
You're goddamn right you are. |
| 01:17:55 |
There's an electricity |
| 01:17:59 |
And, as you can see from |
| 01:18:01 |
it's not a local thunderstorm. |
| 01:18:03 |
All eyes are on the field |
| 01:18:07 |
the Beast from the East, |
| 01:18:08 |
takes on Texas, the power |
| 01:18:18 |
Do I need to say anything? |
| 01:18:21 |
Come on, it's on! |
| 01:18:23 |
Come on, it's on, |
| 01:18:25 |
Come on. Come on. Come on. |
| 01:18:27 |
All right, all right. |
| 01:18:28 |
Get two ice teas, |
| 01:18:30 |
And the Cotton Bowl. |
| 01:18:34 |
Drop your heads. |
| 01:18:37 |
Our Father, |
| 01:18:40 |
hallowed be thy name. |
| 01:18:42 |
Thy kingdom come, |
| 01:18:49 |
George, |
| 01:18:52 |
You taking a look at Davis? |
| 01:18:54 |
I've seen him. |
| 01:18:55 |
Really? |
| 01:18:57 |
In a Redskins uniform? |
| 01:18:59 |
I think he'd look better |
| 01:19:04 |
Now, wouldn't that |
| 01:19:06 |
Ladies and gentlemen, |
| 01:19:09 |
to the Syracuse |
| 01:19:13 |
With a phenomenal record of 10-0, |
| 01:19:15 |
Ben Schwartzwalder and his |
| 01:19:19 |
ranked number 1 in the nation, |
| 01:19:20 |
take the field here at the |
| 01:19:24 |
to face Darrell Royal |
| 01:19:25 |
and the second-ranked |
| 01:19:32 |
You ready for this? |
| 01:19:33 |
I'm ready. |
| 01:19:35 |
Get off the field! |
| 01:19:47 |
If the Orangemen are going to |
| 01:19:50 |
they're going to have to go |
| 01:19:53 |
two very dominant |
| 01:19:55 |
and the defensive leaders |
| 01:19:59 |
Davis, hamstring. |
| 01:20:08 |
Tails. |
| 01:20:11 |
Syracuse receives! |
| 01:20:12 |
That's what we wanted. |
| 01:20:13 |
Go, boy. |
| 01:20:14 |
Ernie, if you get the ball, |
| 01:20:21 |
Let's go! Let's go! |
| 01:20:41 |
And the 1960 |
| 01:20:54 |
Offense! Let's go! |
| 01:20:55 |
An incredibly |
| 01:20:58 |
as Syracuse lines up |
| 01:21:02 |
I've been waiting |
| 01:21:03 |
Okie. Okie. Set! |
| 01:21:05 |
I'm about to kick your black |
| 01:21:07 |
Oh, yeah? |
| 01:21:11 |
The give is to Ernie Davis. |
| 01:21:12 |
He gains two yards and is brought |
| 01:21:16 |
We're in the Cotton |
| 01:21:18 |
Personal foul, ref! |
| 01:21:20 |
84, ref. |
| 01:21:21 |
The handkerchief on the field. |
| 01:21:23 |
There appears to be some late |
| 01:21:27 |
Holding, offense! |
| 01:21:30 |
That's bullshit. |
| 01:21:32 |
But there, did you see that? |
| 01:21:34 |
You don't stop this quick, |
| 01:21:36 |
That's one. |
| 01:21:38 |
"I've been warned. "What are |
| 01:21:41 |
Sophomore Davis is |
| 01:21:45 |
as he moves back to |
| 01:21:47 |
Okay, on one, |
| 01:21:50 |
The Orangemen |
| 01:21:54 |
It's to Davis. |
| 01:21:55 |
Runs to his left. |
| 01:21:58 |
Now cuts back to the right |
| 01:21:59 |
with a dazzling spin move, |
| 01:22:09 |
He turns the corner. He's |
| 01:22:13 |
Quick. Go! Go! Go! Go! |
| 01:22:18 |
Go! |
| 01:22:27 |
He's drilled out of |
| 01:22:31 |
And now Davis, who's lying |
| 01:22:35 |
appears to be |
| 01:22:41 |
I can't believe |
| 01:22:43 |
Ernie, get up! |
| 01:22:46 |
Ernie! Ernie! |
| 01:22:49 |
Ernie, you all right? |
| 01:22:51 |
Davis is finally |
| 01:22:54 |
by All-American |
| 01:22:57 |
One has to wonder |
| 01:22:59 |
just what kind of shape |
| 01:23:04 |
Syracuse, first down |
| 01:23:07 |
The give is to the right |
| 01:23:11 |
Outstanding block by Davis. |
| 01:23:13 |
He crosses the goal line |
| 01:23:18 |
Here in the second quarter |
| 01:23:19 |
Coach Ben Schwartzwalder and his |
| 01:23:23 |
on top of the Texas Longhorns, 7-0. |
| 01:23:26 |
Ready? |
| 01:23:27 |
The Orangemen are knocking |
| 01:23:29 |
State seven! |
| 01:23:31 |
Set! Hut one. |
| 01:23:35 |
The give is to Ernie Davis and |
| 01:23:39 |
as the Orangemen increase |
| 01:23:44 |
So precisely when is it |
| 01:23:45 |
start kicking my |
| 01:23:50 |
Hey, Buckley! |
| 01:23:51 |
Hey, come on, stay cool. |
| 01:23:52 |
They're baiting us. |
| 01:23:54 |
Hey, Logan, Taylor, |
| 01:23:58 |
And after a successful |
| 01:24:01 |
the Orangemen of Syracuse |
| 01:24:05 |
by a score of 15-0. |
| 01:24:08 |
McKinley on |
| 01:24:12 |
Bobby Lundy steps up and |
| 01:24:16 |
And the ball is loose, |
| 01:24:19 |
and Syracuse takes over. |
| 01:24:21 |
Yeah. |
| 01:24:26 |
My, that's a cheap shot. |
| 01:24:28 |
A late hit by Talbert |
| 01:24:31 |
after the play |
| 01:24:33 |
Back! Everybody, |
| 01:24:37 |
You all right, son? |
| 01:24:39 |
I'm all right, Coach. |
| 01:24:40 |
All right. You sure? |
| 01:24:42 |
Offense on the field. |
| 01:24:47 |
Told you this would get out |
| 01:24:50 |
Syracuse will run |
| 01:24:54 |
Pack your bags, spook. |
| 01:24:55 |
Scoreboard, eight-four. |
| 01:24:57 |
Come on, |
| 01:24:58 |
You defending this nigger? |
| 01:25:00 |
How you gonna call yourself |
| 01:25:02 |
I'm Jewish. |
| 01:25:04 |
Hut one! |
| 01:25:16 |
That's another late hit. |
| 01:25:18 |
And once again, |
| 01:25:22 |
Break it up, ref! |
| 01:25:29 |
Come on, ref, |
| 01:25:38 |
And both teams |
| 01:25:40 |
and heading to |
| 01:25:42 |
Ref, I told you to |
| 01:25:44 |
This has become a fiasco. |
| 01:25:52 |
My God, no. |
| 01:25:53 |
This is no longer a football |
| 01:26:00 |
Is somebody |
| 01:26:02 |
...ugly display... |
| 01:26:04 |
Get off! Get off the field! |
| 01:26:07 |
Hey, Coach! |
| 01:26:10 |
Get off of him! |
| 01:26:11 |
Petey, you all right? |
| 01:26:39 |
You guys see what happened? |
| 01:26:40 |
Come on, |
| 01:26:41 |
You see what happened, |
| 01:26:43 |
You can't let people |
| 01:26:45 |
be pounding on your leg |
| 01:26:47 |
I know, but you'll get ejected. |
| 01:26:52 |
You're done for the day. |
| 01:26:53 |
We're up by 15. |
| 01:26:55 |
Coach, I can still get |
| 01:26:57 |
No, I want you to |
| 01:27:08 |
I had a halftime speech |
| 01:27:13 |
It seemed pretty good |
| 01:27:17 |
It was all about victory |
| 01:27:24 |
But this is not |
| 01:27:29 |
We're fighting something else |
| 01:27:33 |
And I can see it |
| 01:27:39 |
And that's why |
| 01:27:41 |
means nothing |
| 01:27:47 |
Don't give this one away. |
| 01:27:49 |
Keep it. Hold on to it |
| 01:27:52 |
and for everyone |
| 01:27:55 |
It's here. It's right here. |
| 01:27:58 |
And no one can |
| 01:28:01 |
Not the officials, |
| 01:28:03 |
and certainly not the other team. |
| 01:28:08 |
It belongs to you, gentlemen. |
| 01:28:15 |
Don't you let anyone |
| 01:28:25 |
Glory! |
| 01:28:26 |
As play resumes |
| 01:28:28 |
Ernie Davis has not joined |
| 01:28:31 |
for the second half. |
| 01:28:33 |
Down 15 to nothing, |
| 01:28:35 |
desperate to get |
| 01:28:39 |
Bobby Lackey |
| 01:28:43 |
And it's complete |
| 01:28:45 |
for a 69-yard |
| 01:28:49 |
What a throw by the Heisman-hopeful |
| 01:28:54 |
A 69-yard touchdown pass |
| 01:28:59 |
Goal line, |
| 01:29:01 |
Darrell Royal and Texas |
| 01:29:07 |
Another walloping tackle |
| 01:29:11 |
That'll mean something later on. |
| 01:29:13 |
Midway |
| 01:29:15 |
Syracuse protecting a 15-6 |
| 01:29:20 |
Three. |
| 01:29:21 |
Sarette with a fake to Baker. |
| 01:29:23 |
Options to Schwedes. |
| 01:29:26 |
Schwedes is hammered by |
| 01:29:30 |
All right! Let's go! |
| 01:29:31 |
Protect the ball! |
| 01:29:37 |
And watch out! The Longhorns |
| 01:29:48 |
Texas, knocking on the door |
| 01:29:54 |
Bobby Lackey calls his own |
| 01:29:59 |
The Longhorns have suddenly given |
| 01:30:06 |
Lackey drops back to pass, |
| 01:30:09 |
and it's complete to Paul. |
| 01:30:11 |
Syracuse 15, Texas 14. |
| 01:30:15 |
The Longhorns have made it |
| 01:30:28 |
Tough break. |
| 01:30:32 |
I mean, they probably |
| 01:30:35 |
Baker, Schwedes, |
| 01:30:41 |
But no sense in |
| 01:30:47 |
Entering the fourth |
| 01:30:50 |
the tension level here at |
| 01:30:54 |
We let them right back in the game. |
| 01:30:59 |
Coach, Davis. |
| 01:31:03 |
All right, boys, keep your heads |
| 01:31:05 |
Ernie, what are you doing? |
| 01:31:06 |
I need to talk to you, Coach. |
| 01:31:08 |
I already have. I need |
| 01:31:10 |
No, no, you are not playing. |
| 01:31:11 |
You can watch, |
| 01:31:12 |
Just hear me out, Coach. |
| 01:31:16 |
Coach, on the trip down here I saw |
| 01:31:20 |
Now, we get to Dallas, |
| 01:31:23 |
in a tiny room with cots. |
| 01:31:25 |
We can't use the elevator 'cause |
| 01:31:27 |
Can't even walk in |
| 01:31:32 |
Now, all those people |
| 01:31:35 |
who believe that's right, |
| 01:31:42 |
But you know what, |
| 01:31:55 |
Can you even run? |
| 01:31:56 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:31:58 |
I don't want to |
| 01:31:59 |
I'm ready. |
| 01:32:03 |
All right. |
| 01:32:05 |
Strong load right, |
| 01:32:08 |
Go. |
| 01:32:10 |
And now the 76,000 fans at |
| 01:32:15 |
Ernie Davis has |
| 01:32:22 |
Let's go. |
| 01:32:23 |
Man, that's Ernie Davis! |
| 01:32:28 |
Strong left. |
| 01:32:29 |
Six regular! |
| 01:32:32 |
The Orangemen, |
| 01:32:35 |
are desperate |
| 01:32:37 |
to keep the ball |
| 01:32:39 |
of Longhorn quarterback |
| 01:32:44 |
And the ball comes loose. |
| 01:32:47 |
Texas has recovered. |
| 01:32:49 |
His knee was down, ref. |
| 01:32:50 |
First down, Texas! |
| 01:32:51 |
Bad call, ref. |
| 01:32:52 |
My knee was down, sir. |
| 01:32:54 |
They're trying to steal |
| 01:32:57 |
Franklin, Franklin, |
| 01:33:00 |
No. Get back. I'm staying |
| 01:33:03 |
Regulations! |
| 01:33:07 |
Texas on the 40-yard line with |
| 01:33:13 |
Bobby Lackey drops back to pass. |
| 01:33:16 |
Throws downfield, |
| 01:33:26 |
Go! Go! |
| 01:33:27 |
All the way! |
| 01:33:32 |
That's the way. Offense, |
| 01:33:35 |
Let's take advantage. |
| 01:33:37 |
Get out there. Let's go! |
| 01:33:42 |
First down, |
| 01:33:46 |
Syracuse has to move the chains |
| 01:33:48 |
and keep the clock |
| 01:33:50 |
or put this game away |
| 01:33:53 |
Hut one. |
| 01:34:07 |
Yeah! Yeah, go, go, go! |
| 01:34:08 |
He's behind you. Go! |
| 01:34:10 |
That's it! That's it. |
| 01:34:21 |
He got this. Go! |
| 01:34:40 |
An unbelievable play! |
| 01:34:43 |
Ernie Davis scoring |
| 01:34:45 |
on an amazing |
| 01:35:03 |
With the final seconds |
| 01:35:05 |
Stay in the game. |
| 01:35:07 |
Stay in the game. |
| 01:35:08 |
...the Longhorns are looking |
| 01:35:11 |
with a last chance |
| 01:36:14 |
All right, ladies, settle down. Settle |
| 01:36:19 |
It's just been announced, |
| 01:36:22 |
the 1960 Cotton Bowl MVP. |
| 01:36:29 |
Ernie! |
| 01:36:32 |
Come here. |
| 01:36:34 |
Congratulations, brother. |
| 01:36:36 |
All right, everybody, listen up. |
| 01:36:38 |
This gentleman |
| 01:36:42 |
Go ahead. |
| 01:36:46 |
What the man is trying to say is |
| 01:36:51 |
will be held at Oak Hill |
| 01:36:54 |
Great. |
| 01:36:56 |
Unfortunately, the Oak Hill |
| 01:37:01 |
Which means |
| 01:37:02 |
including the player who was awarded |
| 01:37:09 |
Seriously? |
| 01:37:10 |
Ridiculous. |
| 01:37:15 |
Now, how do we |
| 01:37:18 |
I don't know about you, |

but I hear they have some |

Thank you, Mr. President. |

Fourth down, 9 yards. |
| 01:43:19 |
Must be nice having the number |
| 01:43:23 |
I'm sure Ernie Davis |
| 01:43:26 |
but I'll start signing Negroes when the |
| 01:43:32 |
Mr. Modell, George Marshall from the |
| 01:43:35 |
Of course he is. |
| 01:43:38 |
George, what a surprise |
| 01:43:42 |
You do? |
| 01:43:46 |
It's all over the wire. |
| 01:43:47 |
The Redskins just traded their |
| 01:43:50 |
You're a commodity now. |
| 01:43:52 |
Yeah, you should listen to your lawyer, |
| 01:43:55 |
Have you been sick recently? |
| 01:43:57 |
No, I feel great. |
| 01:44:00 |
I may be a commodity, but this |
| 01:44:03 |
Me and Jim Brown in |
| 01:44:06 |
You're gonna steal |
| 01:44:22 |
Oh! Oh! |
| 01:44:24 |
Stop it. |
| 01:44:31 |
I don't want to leave. |
| 01:44:32 |
You don't have to leave. |
| 01:44:33 |
I do. |
| 01:44:36 |
I should bring you with me. |
| 01:44:38 |
Just jump in my suitcase. |
| 01:44:43 |
Oh! |
| 01:44:45 |
Oh, no. |
| 01:44:47 |
I'm sorry. |
| 01:44:53 |
That was a mistake, too. |
| 01:44:55 |
I have to get you a new blouse. |
| 01:45:00 |
Look at you. |
| 01:45:04 |
What are you doing? |
| 01:45:06 |
He's at the 10. |
| 01:45:08 |
The 20, the 30... |
| 01:45:13 |
The 40... |
| 01:45:20 |
Is that another nose bleed? |
| 01:45:32 |
You know, Hound Dog |
| 01:45:33 |
he wakes up with blood on his pillow. |
| 01:45:37 |
But you haven't been hit. |
| 01:45:42 |
Ernie, you haven't |
| 01:45:46 |
Bus leaves for practice |
| 01:45:51 |
Be here when I get back? |
| 01:45:53 |
I'll be here. |
| 01:46:07 |
Right two to Maury, |
| 01:46:08 |
Set? Go! |
| 01:46:16 |
Stop. Change your block, |
| 01:46:18 |
Behind me, the East team led by |
| 01:46:23 |
Ernie Davis goes |
| 01:46:25 |
in preparation for Saturday |
| 01:46:31 |
Davis look a little sluggish to you? |
| 01:46:33 |
He'll be fine. |
| 01:46:35 |
Tight right, |
| 01:46:37 |
Come on! |
| 01:46:40 |
Okie. Okie. |

All right, let's run |
| 01:47:11 |
It's all right. You'll get |
| 01:47:34 |
Ernie? |
| 01:47:37 |
Ernie? You okay? |
| 01:48:09 |
He's got to have another transfusion. |
| 01:48:12 |
How'd he do that? |
| 01:48:14 |
He's gonna need |
| 01:48:16 |
So test. |
| 01:48:23 |
Now what am I supposed |
| 01:48:27 |
Mumps. |
| 01:48:30 |
He's got a bad case of the mumps. |
| 01:48:33 |
That's good. |
| 01:48:37 |
Double tight! |
| 01:48:44 |
Set! |
| 01:48:47 |
Blue 3-21! |
| 01:48:51 |
Hut! Hut! |
| 01:49:14 |
Hey, Ernie! |
| 01:49:17 |
The man wants to see you. |
| 01:49:22 |
All right, get back. |
| 01:49:27 |
Hey. |
| 01:49:28 |
Hey, Mr. Modell. |
| 01:49:29 |
Hey. |
| 01:49:30 |
I'm good. |
| 01:49:32 |
I'm still trying to |
| 01:49:33 |
You know, new system and |
| 01:49:35 |
All I need is some rest. |
| 01:49:36 |
Once I get used to it... |
| 01:49:37 |
All right. |
| 01:49:39 |
I spoke with |
| 01:49:42 |
Look, he doesn't know what it is, but |
| 01:49:47 |
I should have told you earlier, kid. |
| 01:49:52 |
If I can't practice, |
| 01:49:55 |
You're not gonna |
| 01:49:59 |
And maybe not |
| 01:50:10 |
Well, when? |
| 01:50:14 |
I don't know. |
| 01:50:17 |
I don't know, kid. |
| 01:50:19 |
Get better, okay? |
| 01:50:22 |
Mr. Modell, |
| 01:50:26 |
Everything I got is |
| 01:50:32 |
I need to play. |
| 01:50:34 |
Yeah. |
| 01:50:35 |
Mr. Modell, please, sir. |
| 01:50:40 |
Next year, kid. We're counting |
| 01:51:34 |
Thank you. |
| 01:51:37 |
Thank you, sir. |
| 01:51:40 |
Did you hear back from |
| 01:51:44 |
Well? |
| 01:51:46 |
They offered it to me. |
| 01:51:48 |
That's great. |
| 01:51:50 |
I told them I had |
| 01:51:51 |
What's to think about? |
| 01:51:53 |
The distance between |
| 01:51:58 |
Take it. |
| 01:52:01 |
What? |
| 01:52:03 |
Take the job, Sarah. |
| 01:52:05 |
You've always said you want |
| 01:52:08 |
You didn't just come to |
| 01:52:10 |
You're beautiful, smart. |
| 01:52:15 |
Stick to that dream. |
| 01:52:19 |
How sick are you, Ernie? |
| 01:52:24 |
Look at me. |
| 01:52:34 |
Sarah... |
| 01:52:37 |
Ernie Davis? |
| 01:52:39 |
I hate to disturb you, but would |
| 01:52:44 |
He's 12, and you're |
| 01:52:48 |
Gonna be great to see |
| 01:52:56 |
Thank you. |
| 01:52:57 |
You're welcome. |
| 01:53:09 |
Leukemia. |
| 01:53:13 |
It's a word that |
| 01:53:19 |
I know when I first heard it myself, |
| 01:53:23 |
I was... |
| 01:53:24 |
I was scared. |
| 01:53:27 |
But I got a lot of |
| 01:53:31 |
good people, |
| 01:53:35 |
standing beside me. |
| 01:53:38 |
My doctors are confident. |
| 01:53:41 |
They tell me I'm responding |
| 01:53:45 |
So, things are good. |
| 01:53:51 |
And you know me. I'm an |
| 01:53:57 |
I hope to get on that field and see |
| 01:54:03 |
Real soon. |
| 01:54:13 |
Mr. Davis, Tom Martin, |
| 01:54:16 |
I saw you play in the |
| 01:54:18 |
Okay. |
| 01:54:19 |
I'm wondering if you'd like |
| 01:54:22 |
You want me to |
| 01:54:23 |
I don't know whether |
| 01:54:25 |
but you're an inspiration |
| 01:54:35 |
There he is, number 77. |
| 01:54:38 |
He's as good as me? |
| 01:54:41 |
Maybe better. |
| 01:54:57 |
Hey, Ernie. |
| 01:55:00 |
Ernie, this is Floyd Little. |
| 01:55:02 |
Ernie Davis. |
| 01:55:04 |
2,386 yards, |
| 01:55:07 |
6.6 yards a carry. |
| 01:55:09 |
You good at math, huh? |
| 01:55:19 |
You see, my plan |
| 01:55:24 |
best Negro running |
| 01:55:26 |
Heisman Trophy |
| 01:55:29 |
Then the NFL, |
| 01:55:33 |
You got it all figured out, don't you? |
| 01:55:48 |
What kind of bottle |
| 01:55:51 |
Don't know. |
| 01:55:53 |
Right. |
| 01:55:55 |
It could be a soda bottle, |
| 01:55:58 |
it could be a beer bottle, |
| 01:56:00 |
No label. |
| 01:56:03 |
You see, I never set out to be |
| 01:56:06 |
I just wanted to be |
| 01:56:08 |
The best football player |
| 01:56:13 |
Look, now I'm... |
| 01:56:21 |
Floyd, I'm never gonna |
| 01:56:27 |
Or any other team. |
| 01:56:31 |
My playing days are over. |
| 01:56:37 |
So don't you look at that poster |
| 01:56:40 |
you want to be like me, |
| 01:56:43 |
You're gonna have to |
| 01:56:49 |
You think you can? |
| 01:56:52 |
Yes, sir. |
| 01:56:57 |
Good. |
| 01:57:00 |
But the thing is, I told Notre |
| 01:57:09 |
Floyd, you know how Notre |
| 01:57:13 |
My fear is a talented |
| 01:57:15 |
may get stuck polishing that |
| 01:57:18 |
You don't want that. |
| 01:58:01 |
I want to know something. |
| 01:58:03 |
Coach? |
| 01:58:04 |
What the hell did you |
| 01:58:07 |
Why? What happened? |
| 01:58:09 |
Well, I'll be damned, |
| 01:58:12 |
He's coming to Syracuse. |
| 01:58:15 |
Well, let's see. I told him |
| 01:58:19 |
and you like players |
| 01:58:21 |
Mmm-hmm. |
| 01:58:22 |
Anything else? |
| 01:58:27 |
I told him you |
| 01:58:34 |
I'm not gonna |
| 01:58:36 |
because I know how hard |
| 01:58:39 |
And I promise, |
| 01:58:42 |
he can run for that end zone whether |
| 01:58:49 |
And I won't tell him that |
| 01:58:54 |
because there won't |
| 01:59:13 |
Can you believe they suited me up |
| 01:59:20 |
I'll be right |
| 01:59:21 |
Please |
| 01:59:22 |
number 45, from Syracuse |
| 01:59:36 |
Mr. Martin, in the end |
| 01:59:40 |
when you asked me to |
| 01:59:46 |
You see, yesterday |
| 01:59:49 |
and compared to some, that doesn't seem |
| 01:59:59 |
Thing is, I don't know how |
| 02:00:04 |
And as you see from the number |
| 02:00:08 |
I did have a few things to say, |
| 02:00:12 |
or even if I want to. |
| 02:00:16 |
It's funny. Most people think my |
| 02:00:21 |
I've even thought |
| 02:00:24 |
But football is just a game. |
| 02:00:27 |
What matters is |
| 02:00:37 |
Sometimes, when the game is close |
| 02:00:42 |
that's when you forget |
| 02:00:46 |
That's when it's just you against |
| 02:00:52 |
That's what I like about the game. |
| 02:00:55 |
Because at that |
| 02:01:00 |
and you are enemies |
| 02:01:04 |
and you are brothers. |
