Then his friend, Freddie Wiseman, encourages him to re-enter this field, and he does so by re-locating to Plainfolk in Texas and joins the Heartland State University. It is here he will meet some of the most pathetic players, and quite disillusioned he goes about to find new-comers.

Hey coach. Name is Vince. I'm just a bartender from Philly whose only dream is to play ball. It's all I got left after I lost my job teaching, and my wife left me. Like my alcoholic father used to say before he passed on, "A man can only take so much failure!" I'll give you everything I got. What do you say coach?
Lambeau "Coach" Fields:

I cannot say that this is a well constructed film. The plot isn't even that impressive, at all. But what can't be denied is that this film is funny. I don't know about hilarious, but i certainly laughed a lot in it. And I was not the only one in the whole theater doing so. So, while some people are writing massive articles slamming this film, remember, it is not meant to be an epic masterpiece or spectacular film. It is meant to be stupid and funny, and it certainly was that. It certainly suffered from lazy script writing, but no one was trying for an Oscar here. This is a pretty funny film, and the laughs in it cannot be denied. To close this argument we only need the name of one character. Ipod.
N.B. this film should not be compared to Dodgeball, they are not in the same league
