Chances are "The Fifth Quarter" is now showing at a theater near you (check for local listings here). It's the heartwarming story of former Wake Forest linebacker Jon Abbate, and his struggle to find reasons to live and play football after his younger brother was killed in a car accident. The critics say if you liked "The Blindside" you'll be moved by "The Fifth Quarter." But be forewarned. The film includes actual Wake Forest game footage -- including, as we understand, the Noles' painful 30-0 loss to the Deacons in 2006. (Yep, the game that was so humiliating, it convinced Jeff Bowden to quit just three days after the fact.) So go see this gridiron drama at your own risk. We thought you oughta be prepared so you don't risk gagging on your Milk Duds.
