After leading his football team to 15 winning seasons, coach Bill Yoast is demoted and replaced by Herman Boone – tough, opinionated and as different from the beloved Yoast as he could be. The two men learn to overcome their differences and turn a group of hostile young men into champions.

Another movie that I’ve been pushing off to watch. This time my roommates finally convinced me to watch it since they had such big reactions when I told them I’ve never seen it 😂
Why do I keep pushing off these great movies??
