Saw Midnight Showing Of "Glory Road"!!!

[ILS1]

Wow!!! Even though I'm not a huge basketball fan,this is a GREAT movie!! It showed all the struggles this team had to endure in the mid 60's. Especially, with all the racial tensions and political struggles this part of the country and the South was going thru. And how they came together as a team. They only lost 1 game,a regular season ending loss due to an incident the night before that really affected them. Great group of guys on this team. I believe this movie will be ranked right up there with the likes of 'Hoosiers'. I highly recommend this movie even if your not a basketball fan!!!

BTW,I was surprised at who played Kentucky HC Adolph Rupp. I don't believe he was even credited as being in the movie in all the trailers I saw. Great choice though!!! He did a great job!!!

The result was a 72-65 victory for Texas Western in the NCAA basketball tournament championship game which destroyed Rupp's hopes for an unprecedented fifth National Collegiate Athletic Association title....
