He looked like a young Drew Carey is what the TV people said at the time.

I've heard some people say he looked like Kurt Rambis as well due to the glasses.

Is it any good?
I'm sure it will be great. The movie is being well received, and the story is tremendous.

I'm glad to see people will get to hear Brandon's story. As a Razorback fan since birth I've heard so many great things about Brandon's faith, work ethic, and love for people. Such a shame his life ended so young.

Hell yeah. It's hard to even imagine the amount of work Brandon had to put in to get as far as he did. A walk on who ends up drafted in the third round.

It may be second rate acting, but it's a first rate story. His story doesn't just represent any kid in Arkansas dreaming of playing for the Hogs, it represents every southern kid and their dream school.

a bit random.... Arkansas Lady Soccer... which finished second to last in the SEC last year, just upset #2 Duke.

Just returned from the movie, very powerful and moving.

Took my daughter to see this today, she cried most of the movie. I had some serious eye problems at the end. Great movie, great message. WPS!

It's going to be in theaters in at least Arkansas. I'm going to see it Friday.
Saw a commercial yesterday for it here in the ATL.

UT themed but jump to the 2:20 mark to see Burlsworth knock Al Wilson into the cheap seats.

I took my wife and daughter tonight. I was PLEASANTLY surprised with the quality of the movie. I knew the story but overall it was very good. There won't be any academy awards given for it (acting) but it was way better than anticipated.
Two thumbs up from me.

If you're a football fan AND a Christian, you pretty much have to see this movie. Very strong "why do bad things happen to good people" theme throughout.
It was stranger and darker than I thought it would be, but then again, it was a tragedy how his life ended.
I got very emotional watching it, but held it in. Just so damned sad. Learning more about the kid made it even more sad. Brought back a lot of memories.

When it started showing the Tennessee game, I muttered "damn fumble", my daughter asked me what I was talking about and then it happened. I remember vividly watching that game on TV, and the heartbreak that followed.

I recall thinking when Burlsworth was killed - that is the guy that knocked Al Wilson out of bounds in the '98 game.
Very sad story. Glad they did the movie.
