That's not all you were raised to believe, now was it?
ANNOUNCER: As play resumes here at the Cotton Bowl,
Sorry, my dear, we got things to do, people to meet.
Ernie, if you get the ball, go all the way.
He's wearing a Brooklyn Dodgers uniform.
grace of God I am what I am.
/ can't tell you the exact moment I knew what it was I wanted to be
that I wasn't running from, I was running to.
Pain is how you learn.
(GRUNTS)
MAN: We are still not yet...
I'm sorry I lost my temper.
BROWN: I want you to go out. Keep going. Back. Back. All right.
Ernie?
Down 15 to nothing, the Longhorns are
Yeah, I...
/ know when I first heard it myself,
JACK: We call that, The white girl speech,
But you know what, so are they.
MAN: Yes, it is.
(ALL BOOING)
ALL: Texas.
And then Jimmy Brown shows up,
I know this wasn't the most welcoming place for you, but that's not my fault.
No, no, no. Not that, that's the gas. Better step on the brake.
To Syracuse University department of athletics.
Next question.
But no sense in getting hurt worse, right?
Ernie!
Here in the second quarter, Kansas on top of Syracuse, 7-0.
But that sweep where you cut back to the middle?
These are the goddamn Texas Longhorns!
MALE NARRATOR 2: I believe in this world to come.
Coach, I can still get back out there and play.
So, things are good.
Let's take advantage.
He crosses the goal line to put Syracuse on the board.
Thank you, sir.
Coach, I'm...
You don't stop this quick, it's gonna get out of hand.
Brokaw, come here! Yes, Coach.
Ernie, what are you doing?
Strong load right, 42 shovel pass.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
Class of '31.
It's a new trend.
QUARTERBACK: Tight right, 34 wide dig. Ready?
Must be nice having the number one draft pick, huh, George?
I know today is a proud day for you. You've really accomplished something here.
You had a terrific year here at Syracuse, Jim.
Same holds true off the field.
with a last chance shot at the end zone.
or how I wanted to make my mark.
You're a goddamn running back. You're my goddamn running back,
ALL: Break!
This is quite a ruckus.
how much he'd like to see you come play for us.
To a very nice man.
(MARTY BLOWS WHISTLE)
Will, we won.
There are some lines that some people don't care to see crossed,
The day you're not up to it, I'll take it away as quick as a hiccup.
Those days are done.
And for the Syracuse faithful, there's a sense of disbelief,
yet not I,
and see your name, your face.
And a nigger, how sad is that?
Okay, put that away now, please.
here at the very, very quiet Archbold Stadium.
I'm Jewish.
We don't want to integrate!
Gentlemen, congratulations.
You're not gonna play. Not now.
Heisman Trophy all the way.
Come on, son. Let's go. For me?
All right. You sure? Yeah.
Ernie Davis has not joined the rest of the Orangemen
Well, he's a Negro boy, Ben.
But this is not just a game anymore.
I don't want to hurt you anymore.
Mumps. What?
You don't even be eating no deviled egg.
Ernie, get up!
Regulations!
I'm sorry.
You're not there. You don't know him.
What we up to? Three miles?
Set! Hut one.
I want to know something.
(ALL LAUGHING)
Run a lap.
POPS: You can do it.
Davis, hamstring.
Who told you this, your coach?
Let's go! Now make no mistake, gentlemen.
Now what? You gonna stare at it all night?
PLAYER: Hey, Coach!
Yes. Jack, Art and me, we're all a part of your team.
How do you do?
Were you the first in your family to go to college?
This is what pain is for.
/ was...
Ernie Davis goes through the paces
