My favorite sports movie is Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 about the epic 1968 game between the two Stanford wannabes.  Usually the games are much more interesting than what the players think about them.  Not here.

I hadn't even thought about that movie and you're absolutely right!  I was at that game with my brother and we thought that the world had forgotten about it until the movie came out.  Who needs fictionalized drama when a documentary covering the most exciting end to a football game in the history of the sport is available (well except for the Greatest Upset Ever, and actually, it's close)?

Brian Dowling was BD and Calvin Hill was a BEAST!  Nonetheless, Harvard rallied in the final 42 seconds to tie the game on a series of brilliant plays, blown calls by the refs, lucky bounces, stupid penalties, etc etc that a Hollywood screenwriter would be too embarrassed to present as viable.
