hollywood version not the true story. We did have a true Rudy story at UGA. Check out this one. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/georgia-football/itmightmeantoomuch-one-former-uga-walk-on-benchwarmer-make-team-2019/amp/
UGA has several such stories like this such as Le Sack and others.
Real life Rudy got a sack on the last play against Yech. You have to love the ending at least.
I worked with a bond trader that played on the ND team that year. He told me 20 years ago the movie was total bs fiction. He said most guys on the team couldn't stand Rudy because was an entitled a**hole. (I had to edit that myself...what's with the system, is a**hole ok now?)
It was complete Hollywood fiction.
Ever notice how he resembles Joe Burrow with his helmet on?
Invincible was on recently. Talk about a fraud of a movie. They made it sound like this bartender tried out and made it, no mention that he had just played 2 years in the WFL which had several NFL players in it.
The biggest fraud of a line in that movie was when Coach Devine told his team captain who wanted to give up his place for Rudy (another completely fictitious act, btw) that 'GT was one of the top teams in America.'
Smh, good movie. Funny skit. From what Im hearing, Rudy was completely Hollywooded up and there was no “handing in my jersey” scene at all.
Aw man. Now y'all are gonna tell me Snoopy ain't a real dawg. Sniffle ...
I think that the movie "Rudy" IS the explanation of the Notre Dame mentality of how they view themselves. I wonder if someone behind the actual funding of making the movie about Rudy was a Notre Dame graduate? The entire movie is somewhat entertaining. I also must admit that when looking up their program in the ancient history books, then perhaps a case can be made that way back in the day of Knute Rockne (and before) they were a pretty darn good football team, but (like the movie) I have always felt the South Bend Indiana school is just a bit overrated myself. No disrespect, because college football needs the Notre Dame's, and the Michigan's, and the Syracuse's to keep those regional fan bases engaged in college football. Notre Dame just has that intangible something. Maybe it is the "mistique?" of the Notre Dame Fight Irish?? BTW, that whole SNL skit was freaking hilarious!!!! Made me even a bigger fan of JJ Watt!!! I think that the whole covid-19 thing has me rambling on. LOL
