12 Things You Didn’t Notice at the End of Hoosiers
I just recently watched HOOSIERS with my kids for the first time and still find it amazing the amount of emotion this movie brings out of me. Say the word “Picket fence” or “I’ll make it.” to me and I melt like a blowtorched snowman. So inspired was I that it was time to get off my ass and contribute to this site that I helped create. Let’s watch the scene in question first.
The end of this film is what makes it my favorite sports movie of all time. That final game is as epic as any championship game ever filmed and it has everything to do with Jimmy Chitwood putting his big boys pants on and lighting South Bend up like a fireworks display. The dude misses one shot all game. From Coach Dale’s pre-game speech to the moment he realizes he called the wrong play at the end solidify him as the greatest movie coach of all time. Simply put, this movie is the everything of all time for me. Everything. Enough talk – lets play.
