Hoosiers

I am watching Hoosiers while I write this. Darewood made me watch this film possibly 5,000 times in our youth. We had to hide our VHS copy in the basement along with the Lion King just to avoid another viewing. I will never tell him how it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. Because you know, and it’s Hoosiers

Look, mister, there’s… two kinds of dumb, uh… guy that gets naked and runs out in the snow and barks at the moon, and, uh,  guy who does the same thing in my living room. First one don’t matter, the second one you’re kinda forced to deal with. – George
