How can you not include "The Program"? Let's take anything and everything that has ever been wrong that has happened inside a college football program and put into one movie. That being said I actually enjoyed the movie. Not even close to my top 5 but I didn't see it mentioned by anyone. All my other favorites have been mentioned.

I am not sure which program it was based on. It had a heisman candidate, a pre season national champion contender, steroids, rape, cheeating on a final, money to players and drug rehab all on one team in the same season.

So, it could have been pretty much any BCS team.

Before one game everybody was really quiet when Hawkins screamed out "Let's welcome 'em to Hell!" I started laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes and my sides hurt.

I remember him always saying the famous line " Let's put the women and children to bed and go looking for dinner" Oh man. Interesting guys.

LOL. We had a kid on our team that never played, and he always painted his face like that movie as well. He gave himself the nickname of "Ox".

We were standing in the locker room before one game and yelled out: "You ready to go to war with me?, You ready!"

Everyone started laughing and told him to sit down.
