Quotes and Lines
LeMarcus James: This shit is capitalism at its finest. Greed at its worst. Everybody around us got private jets and private chefs and we can’t even accept a f*ckin free meal as a gift.
Coach James Lazor: I know right now you think life is always gonna be like this. You’re at the center of everything. Alive. And greatness is right there… within reach. But that’s not true. This may very well be your only fleeting moment at the top of the mountain.
Mark Titus: College football is more important than you, me, Emmett, or whatever really is on that form. The American people will let the state of Missouri fall into the sea rather than give up Saturday afternoons drunk and roaring for their alma mater. We’re inevitable as the rain.
