So, in the professional bracket, our semi-final match-ups will see Brian's Song going up against Any Given Sunday and North Dallas Forty taking on Invincible.
In the college bracket, we're looking at The Program taking on Necessary Roughness. . .which I still sort of can't believe actually made it through. . .and We Are Marshall going up against The Waterboy.
Lastly, in our "other" bracket, we'll have The Blind Side battling it out with The Longest Yard and Varsity Blues, another upset winner, going head-to-head with Remember the Titans.
