2022 New Era of Daytime Football Drama Continues

[Bundy]

With premium cable and digital television in decline as more and more of the market share of millennials look to cut costs, like their counterpart Hallmark, Lifetime looks to capitalize on a new rare niche market: sports romance for your grandmother.

 

Lifetime, of course, has been feeling the heat of the looming recession, and instead of reaching out to H-tier celebrities, they’ve been able to make financial decision that could payoff greatly.

 

With their introductory movie aimed at enticing boomers and Gen Zs alike, they’ve moved forward in an effort to beat Hallmark off the ball, and have contracted Kansas commit fullbacks Alex Takahasi and Austin Girodo, who will star as themselves in Spring Ahead, Fullback.

 

Loosely based on the real life bromance between the two Jayhawks, the movie, quietly filmed early this summer before summer camp kicked off, revolves around the struggles of two early-enrollee college freshmen looking to make it in the big rugged world of college football.

{RAIN DOWNPOURS OVER A PACKED HIGH SCHOOL STANDS}

 

PA ANNOUNCER: It is the Fox Valley Association Championship Game, between the Neenah Rockets and the PassiggameUndefeateds. It’s the 4th Quarter, and the score is 5-0, Undefeateds winning but Neenah has the ball. There’s only time for one more play. Fans, please remember, this game is also very historic because of recent NIL ramifications. Kansas football coach @Bundy is here, along with Kansas recruit Austin Girodo.
