I may have missed the boat on this one, but I thought this was interesting.

Blind Side II?...And a splash of cold water at the same time. A few years back – maybe ten – a kid graduated from OSU and lived for the summer at the home of one of the Bucknuts’ staffers. The kid’s name was Don Handfield. He decided to write a screenplay about Coldwater football. He swore he was going to get it made into a film and – by gosh – he did! Check out the photo of Kirk Russell in a Coldwater football jersey. The new film is "Touchback" starring Kirk Russell and Brian Presley. Kurt plays a high school football coach for a team in Coldwater, Ohio, circa 1991.

At the brink of financial disaster, a former football star turned farmer and family man attempts suicide to save his family. However, when he wakes up he finds himself back in the past, reliving the events that led up to his career-ending, life-altering injury. He is forced to choose between his simple life and the path to fame and fortune.

That's not what Coldwater's uniforms look like.

Hope this helps.

Also not what Ohio State's uniforms looked like circa 1992.

It should also be mentioned that they filmed most of the movie in Michigan and Coshocton County.....fail

Why is a football movie based in Ohio and starring a major actor not cool? Smfh.

I guess that makes them the Coldwater Michigan Cardinals. Movie looks to be as bad.

Because it looks like it sucks?

I'm shocked this is even getting a theatrical release. This looks like some straight up direct-to-video shit.

This movie is to The Blind Side what a video of me smelling my own farts* is to Citizen Kane.

*I actually have a few copies of this left on DVD if anybody wants to order it.

Why are you so personally offended that someone said a movie looks like it sucks? (It does look like it sucks)

By the way, judging from your 5th grade level retort, I doubt you're a very good judge of what's funny and what's not.

Hell, judging from your taste in movies, I doubt you are a very good judge of anything.

Anyone else find it funny that the team playing against Coldwater in this movie has jersey's that look more similar to the actual team's? Granted, they're red and black (CW is black and orange), but the scheme is the same.

Just awful

I just watched the trailer. This isn't a straight to DVD movie because?
