Better times...

Bonus points for the year it was first in theaters and the city it was filmed in (big surprise).

    1. Bingo.

      The story is set in Minneapolis. The team is given scholarships at an elite prep school with the expectation that they will beef up their W/L record.

      The members of the team founder at the academic expectations.

      The values and sentiments of the current political leaders of Minneapolis and Minnesota are not in harmony with the classical messaging from the history teacher (ostensibly from Minneapolis) circa 1996. The dissonance is jarring.

  7. Interesting 'depiction' of history... well played, and I didn't remember the WWWW...
