To win each contest by an 80% voting clip each matchup is quite impressive.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Remember the Titans  Gettysburg\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uiqdA1B3_Nc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <strong>The Waterboy<\/strong>\u00a0is a bit of a Cinderella\u00a0to make it the Final 4 as a #12 seed. They were able to take down a prohibitive favorite in the Sweet 16 in defeating\u00a0<strong>Friday Night Lights<\/strong>. Can the reign of dominance continue for the Titans or will we see a &#8220;Bourbon Bowl&#8221; victory of sorts?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Waterboy - Water Sucks scene\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7I2-14y6-jM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Some of our movies have become lost in time based on some of the voting trends. Remember the Titans has the advantage from a dramatic message vs the overall silliness of The Waterboy. While the 80% victory streak comes to an end, the Titans still win comfortably and make it to the National Championship game. Titans win 75% to 25%.<\/p>\n<h4>Winner: Remember the Titans<\/h4>\n<h3>(7) The Blind Side vs (9) Varsity Blues<\/h3>\n<p>This tournament had the look of an inevitable\u00a0Remember the Titans vs <strong>Rudy<\/strong> championship game. But, <strong>The Blind Side<\/strong> had something to say about that. In the biggest upset of the tournament, Rudy was defeated and sent The Blind Side into the Final 4.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Blind Side - Football Practice Scene\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/76nhIfp9gr0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On the other side, <strong>Varsity Blues<\/strong> may have had one of the more difficult routes. They had to navigate through The Longest Yard, Radio, and Little Giants just to make it here. Their ride has given a whole new name to the &#8220;puke and rally&#8221; quote.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Varsity Blues (3\/7) Best Movie Quote - Lance&#039;s Speech (1999)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZHWH1el8oCg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>While this movie still lived up to its prediction of the closer of the two national semi-final games. However, the margin was surprisingly comfortable. Varsity Blues moves on by a count of 58% to 42%.<\/p>\n<h4>Winner: Varsity Blues<\/h4>\n<h2>National Championship Matchup<\/h2>\n<h3>(1) Remember the Titans vs (9) Varsity Blues<\/h3>\n<p>This is the moment that we have all been waiting for. Championship games bring out the best in everyone. The lights shine a little brighter. Pressure gets just a little bit tighter. Every shot, play, or in this instance vote is that much more important.<\/p>\n<p>Remember the Titans has run roughshod over the rest of the competition in having at least a 50% margin of victory in each contest. To win a championship, you must be solid in all parts of the game. The Titans deliver in every way possible. There is a dominating and inspiring on-screen performance by Denzel Washington. Then, there is the message that this film delivers that regardless of the era in which the movies is\u00a0viewed always seems to hit home.<\/p>\n<p>Conversely, Varsity Blues has continued to relish that underdog role through the entire tournament. Hoping to carry that underdog momentum all the way to a National Championship, Varsity Blues is a story that&#8217;s often been told. Jon Voight delivers as the head coach that is focused on winning no matter the cost. With an inspiring tale of a team rising up and playing for each other despite the coach this film gets the juices flowing.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, it&#8217;s time for all the whooping and hollering to end and for us to crown a champion. Remember the Titans keep up with the consistency of the entire tournament and puts together another solid performance. The Titans are victorious and our Football Movie Tournament National Champion!
