practice with the rest of the guys and tries his

01:07

best to learn the plays He does all the exercises

01:10

that his teammates do in hopes of getting stronger but

01:13

still he seems less playing time than the team mascot

01:15

so i can't really blame the coach for that decision

01:18

Don't look at that cool dancing cow horse contemplates given

01:21

up after all he doesn't have to be here He

01:23

could fail and spend his time after school catching up

01:26

on doctor who and hanging out with this cat instead

01:28

of waiting for his chance to play But horse knows

01:31

that if he gives up now he'll never surpassed the

01:33

dancing cows Field time So let's be real should anyone

01:36

get more field time than the dancing cab He's got

01:39

some sweet anyway horses touchdown celebration might not be legendary

01:44

khao level but it's still pretty good so he decides

01:46

to stick it out so he can one day bogey

01:48

in the end zone where hangs in there He trains

01:51

It gets better faster stronger He may not be the

01:53

best player on the team but he impresses his coach

01:55

with his tenacity and drive And because this is a

01:58

feel good story ah la the blind side but with

02:00

less sandra bullock horses lock is about to change His

02:04

team is down forty seven nothing in the fourth quarter

02:07

Even the cow is utterly depressed so coach decides to

02:10

put horse in the game because well why the heck

02:12

Not really can't get much work So horace dons his

02:15

helmet finally rock that helmet hair jogs out on the

02:17

field and takes his place The ball is snapped and

02:20

horace runs He remembers the plays he remembers coach's advice

02:23

He remembers how hard he worked to get here He

02:26

remembers how cool his celebration dances And then he does

02:29

something that surprises everyone he runs right into the cow

02:33
