Texas Football has long been the standard of the Nation.  Every town finds children playing in fields throughout the year no matter what the temperature is outside.  Elementary schools have organized teams, communities have prestigious select organizations, middle schools have crosstown rivalries, and city businesses revolve their hours around Friday night football games.

Some of the best football movies have been staged in Texas like the Longest Yard with Burt Reynolds (and the Adam Sandler Remake), Junction Boys (Texas A&M’s famous Bear Bryant Training Camp), Friday Night Lights (The story of Odessa Permian’s Playoff Run), North Dallas Forty (Dallas, Texas Football), Varsity Blues (Texas High School Football), and Necessary Roughness (College Football filmed at University of North Texas in Denton, Texas).

The Heisman Trophy has been awarded to Texas High School and College prodigies like Johnny Manziel, Robert Griffin III, Ricky Williams, Ty Detmer, Andre Ware, Tim Brown, Billy Sims, Earl Campbell, John David Crow, Doak Walker, while four Heisman Trophy winners have dawned the famous Dallas Cowboys Star; Eddie George, Herschel Walker, Tony Dorsett, and Roger Staubach.
