This is the movie I love and hate the most at the same time ever.
It absolutely captures a perfect romanticized feeling of college football in the midwest. Heck, I'm not a fan of the region but after seeing it I want to go suit up for the Domers or some Big 10 school. And the music is just fantastic.
But once I learned the true story it's hard to stomach as a movie. Why they just threw Dan Devine under the bus the way they did I don't know, but it was criminal. And since Ruttiger is a prick in real life I'm sure he had something to do with it.

If I remember correctly, when the movie came out, one of the film reviewers pretty much scored it this way: "It's a feel-good movie about a guy that proved if you kissed enough ass in your day, you too can have a movie made about your one faded accomplishment in life." Shoot, I remember when he was pleading to the public for donations to get this movie off the ground.
Funny thing is, I still like this movie. The groundskeeper (Charles S. Dutton) made this film for me, especially when Rudy's there whining about not getting to play an actual game ("I wanted to run out of that tunnel. For my dad! For everyone back home, to prove..."), and he told him, "PROVE WHAT?! You ain't got to prove nothin' to no one except yourself!"
Amen, brother. Amen right there.

I am also disappointed by the lack of Cosby.

Can't you see? Sometimes your tackles hypnotize me.
