I was just wondering what everyone's favorite sports movies are. Mine are these 

Football- Remember The Titans

Basketball - Hoosiers

Hockey- Miracle

Baseball- Major League

Racing- Days Of Thunder

 

Hooisers  is my favorite of all time. Nobody else in my age group  really knew about it, lucky I had a dad who introduced me to so much classic media growing up, I basically have the same knowledge of it as someone twice my age lol

I agree. Hoosiers is my favorite of all the ones I mentioned. I watch it everytime it comes on.

If you like Hoosiers, you need to see "The Final Season" With Sean Astin and Powers Boothe. The story line is similar...it's also based on a true story about a small school and the community who supports it while pursuing a state championship. I'll take basketball over baseball every time, but the tradition along with timeless issues in this one blows "Hoosiers" to the back seat. Can't believe that more people don't have it on their instant classic list.

I'll have to look it up, powers Booth was on red dawn (1983) wasn't he as the dude who helped train the wolverines?

Yes, that was him. He was in many military movies early in his career (my favorite was Southern Comfort), but was not ex military. Great performance in The Final Season too.

    • Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.
    • I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.
    • Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
    • Yeah, I read about their spring blue/gray scrimmage after I typed that.   Sounds like a real mess over there.  I just hate that for 'em.  Haw
    • Maybe OR will be, but Farragut, nah, I don’t think anybody realizes how much of a bad situation that program is in currently. I’m sure they will build out of it, but the next 3 to 4 years are going to be a long climb up.
