My son, now 25, played football from the age of 9 until he graduated from high school. I never missed a game! Even now, years later, when I hear the band playing at the local high school staduim near my home and hear bits and pieces of the play by play, I get a lump in my throat and misty-eyed remembering those Friday nights at the stadium, watching my son run out onto the field and look up into the stands, I would wave, so he could see me, and he replied with a “thumbs up”!
I have 3 grandsons, who, I hope will play. I miss it!!!

Made it through my son’s senior year of football with plenty of tears and listened to this song many times. On Senior night they played this song while they called out the Senior boys and their parents……not many dry eyes. Can’t say enough about this song and video……everything is true in it!!!!

Love this song. Is there anyway to get the speech the coach is telling the boys. Greatest I ever heard. Brings tears to my eyes everytime. Even though my son plays baseball, still applies the same.

Ever since I was a little ‘boy’ I have disliked all sports, especially football! All three of ‘my’ bullies in high school were on the football team of my school year and one of them was the captain. Our house overlooked the athletic field of my high school and it was always so exciting to get all dressed and made up as a girl while real boys my age were playing rough and tumble football! Also, I’m so glad I avoided doing anything that could build upper body muscles because now even my arms are slender and weak and I look so much like a girls that I pass as one everywhere I go.

When I first heard this song this year I knew Kenny was singing about football, but I never really truly knew what the words meant until last night when my 14 year son who plays football, this is his first year said to me “football is different than any other sport, we are like a band of brothers out there, clapping our hands, etc”. This almost made me cry because I knew what the words of this song truly meant!

Who is the player at the end with the #27 on his jersey? If I knew what school he represented, I would know whether or not if it was a relative of mine.

The Boys of Fall is so appropriate for a video I want to put together for my dad on Father Day! He was the home town hero and then he got my mom pregnant and was made to play different positions on the football team back in 1950. At age 16, married and with one disabled daughter and another child on the way…playing the home town rivals for the little brown jug… his interception running the ball down the field with 4-3guys riding his back trying to bring him down he manages to cross the goal line to win the game.

God Bless this song…I am going to put his High schoo photos newspaper clipping, my mom and my sister & brother as babies in the small video I am going to make just for him.

Thanks, Kenny Hope you’ll be ok with my plan.

This is an amazing video. The coaches words at the beginning are so true and bring so much emotion looking back at my own life. Thanks for yet another great moment to make us remember and inspire us at the same time.
