sometimes suffering can give you strength
and hope. We all learned a lot under him.”
As the crow'd cheered on its feet for the
men, smiles flashed across their faces, and
energy seemed to pulse through their bod
ies. They were back home in the house they
helped build and make so famous.
Don Watson, a fonner running back for
the team, said the stadium and the game had
changed a lot since their playing days but
noted that one thing would never be absent
from Kyle Field.
“Games these days have a little more dog-
and-pony feel to them. Too much time is
wasted — let’s just line up and play,” Wat
son said. “But A&M will always have great
crowds, and the Spirit will always be there.
That will never change.”
The 2002 television movie was received
by audiences and critics with mixed feel
ings, earning above average reviews from
most. The true Junction Boys weren’t as
impressed as many others were with the
THE FOOTBALL SCOREBOARD
movie, however.
“There were some things that weren't
historically accurate,” Schroeder said. “But
1 do understand that when you’re trying to
condense an experience like Junction into a
short time, you can't do an extensive job and
have to juice some things up for the public.”
Watson echoed Schroeder’s feelings in a
stronger response.
“They blew some things way out of propor
tion that made some people, especially Coach
Bryant, look bad,” Watson said. “That movie
was sensational, all for the public.”
As the men walked off the field in unison
and headed back toward the exit, the crowd
gave them a last cheer. And as they disap
peared into the tunnel, their moment on Kyle
Field was officially over, along with their
reunion. But their story isn’t over and never
will be. It will be one that lives on in the
echoes of Kyle Field, in the hearts of Aggie
faithfuls and in the whispers of the winds in
Junction, Texas.
