i miss those days =)

Told beautifully brotha those were the roughest and best days!

Well same, but for soccer. Yes, it’s a different sport entirely, don’t judge me lol

how bout the smell of the cut grass

@chad maybe you were being too much of a chad.

I thought is was Wagner or Beethoven, I was shocked.

Lord of the Rings too

And the fact that it was not even nominated for an academy award is nothing short of criminal.

@@Avendale Really? My God I thought it was some old Beethoven or Wagner tune. Wow, I wonder what beat it out the soundtrack of Howard the Duck?

@@Avendale I didn’t know that! I agree with you

I concur with your sentiment! Jerry's music enhanced this movie tremendously! The real Rudy committed securities fraud later in life, according to Wikipedia!

Beautifully said

Love jason Miller in this. Excorsizing any mediocre or placid spirit from the players. See what I did there?

sounds like Hoosiers

I concur but that's it go Irish beat literally everyone else ever go Irish

The best USC friend Notre Dame ever had.

I'd never even heard of this until I saw this movie. I don't love or hate Notre Dame, but you have to respect the fucking hell out of the tradition. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMeWdceEupylaWQ.html

This and Hoosiers I think have the best movie score along with the natural

It makes the entire movie.

@@danielcallahan4825 The score for Hoosiers is more impressive than the actual movie if you use common sense while watching it. Waaaay underrated sports movie score imo that doesn't have enough vids anywhere: Unnecessary Roughness.

Yes. In the lowest odds things will come and I will succeed one day and play for the mls. One day at a time

Or Maury

I feel like he was the voice of the US Government during that speech. "Our job is kick the shit out of you and then maybe we'll keep you"

I think it depends on a lot of factors…. Personally, I’m of a pretty good size being 6’3 / 220lbs. I’ve trained hard in all the sports I’ve competed in and I’m not by any means a super star athlete but I’m likely more athletic than a guy like Rudy. However, I don’t think I could ever be motivated to take hits like Rudy Day In and Day Out like that. Especially if there’d be almost no chance that I’d make the team or be rewarded for all that pain and embarrassment. I think it’s actually far more possible for a person of average intelligence to be accepted into a University with a low admission rate. Studying hard, acquiring a good tutor, applying multiple times and making connections with the right people goes very, very far. But to each their own. It all depends on how motivated you are to get what you want.

It's a solid discussion. ND's current acceptance rate is 15% (top-tier schools hovered around 20% in the '70s). Rudy allegedly did not have the grades for Joliet Community College, so Father Cavanaugh's influence ultimately allowed him admission to HC. Fortunately, he was able to identify a learning disability, which - who knows what treatments existed - provided at least a reason for his academic troubles and hopefully a focused plan. However, he's a "dreamer" in tryouts. One of the two selected - out of the 15 - who will "run the opposition's plays." He had approximately a 13.3% chance to earn a spot.

I think Rudy getting admitted to Notre Dame was a far greater accomplishment. A lot of late bloomers can relate to that.

@@dchang11 I loved how the administration at Notre Dame reacted to the _über-elite_ students that took over the university during the Vietnam War. They claimed they wanted to 'negotiate' the return of the school as long as all charges were dropped and their stance on the war was recognized. Notre Dame said "nope, you don't run this school... we do". And those students were all expelled. Their daddy's wealthy didn't matter at all. I hate that war and our reasons for being there... pretty much everything about it. But that gives no one the right to take and/or destroy other people's property.

@@DrakeBrunette You simply lack the championship mindset to achieve anything great, while guys like Spud Webb, Mugsy Bogues, Wes Welker, Steve Largent, Manny Pacquiao, etc., all have what it takes to overcome great odds. It's ok, nothing is wrong with that. More than 99.99% of the human population, including myself, don't have that championship mindset. That's why only such a small number of people truly attain greatness. Greatness is reserved for the very few who are willing to DIE to accomplish something.

I’m really glad to read this bro

Jerry Goldsmith was a genius. RIP

Then become Rudy

@@randomstuff508 facts

Benchwarmers?

Tom Brady is definitely a Rudy story. You have to watch one of his documentaries called Mr.199 or the other one that is called the Brady 6 .

@@antonio706ga Lol no he's not. Tom Brady is the GOAT

As my parents always say. People remember those who make ripples in the pond. For good or bad if you stand out you’ll be remembered

@@bradyteets3426 The Japanese have a saying" the nail that stands above the rest, gets the hammer"

@@SuperChuckRaney That's pretty much the opposite sentiment of what the others were saying. The Japanese saying is for comformity while the others are for individuality. Funny how that works, eh?

Incorrect, just using rudys name so the viewers know they’re talking about him. Nice thought though.

@@ThePwnasouras 👎

And that 7th grade team was better for your participation !!

@@rds990 Ha! Marginally, but thanks : )

Immediately reminded me of high-school.

@@kevinbond8966 In an instant, right? I remember stretching first thing, before we did any activity at all, and no stretching from there on out. And freaking gatorade! And oranges. Occasionally water. Heh.

@@bradthompson5383 I have my chance to do it right now, should I do it? What if I fail?

The GOAT!

🥶

I read somewhere that each player was given two breakfastes

His name was Rudy

@@ss_whole its a reference to lord of the rings

@@ss_whole Oh really, is that true?! What's the name of the movie are you talking about again? 🙄 (...and his name was actually Daniel, if you wanna be Mr. Serious King Of Corrections. Rudy was his nickname based on his last name of Ruettiger. How is it you see yourself as the person to correct everyone around you when youve never even read any Tolkien for Christ's sake?)

Really? I thought it was Bob who after college at Notre Dame later moved to Hawkins and worked at RadioShack.

Yeah. Astin was great. Nobody other than him could play this part

Rudy may have “done it” but the RB still ran him over and would have gained 3-4 yards.

did u copy/paste that?

1 hour later, im watching world record for punch out and see your exact comment there from some1 else lol

Tony Soprano would have been out there with Rudy and co, but he never had the makings of a varsity athlere

Oof

@@jamesbowers5946 small hands. Tony suffered from small hands.

🤩

I agree. The coaches speech at beginning to the walk-Ons is very blunt and factual. I don’t think people realize the disparity between top tier scholarship athletes and everyone else. In 1988 my cousin was a blue chip HS Volleyball player, All CIF. In 1990 she was a NCAA D1 National Champion in volleyball. 1991, she tried out for the 1992 USA Olympic team. Didn’t even come close. She said she was slower and shorter than all the women who tried out. Humbling

Yeah just keeping it Real no Bull shit go hard or go home 😢 i miss playing Football 🏈

I came looking for the Sam reference. Knew I wouldn't be disappointed

@@donarthiazi2443 Did you ever play the game?

@@HitstikFit Yeah in high school. A bunch of us had to go both ways. I played defensive end and tight end. I was the gunner on punt returns

@@donarthiazi2443 Well if you remember there may have been a kid on the team that was not a good athlete but worked his tail off. Anytime he did a drill, he at the very least gave his best effort. This type of attitude is contagious, and usually gets praise from coaches and players alike.. it makes the other players work harder in practice than they otherwise would have. Therefore they will perform better on gameday. Thats all i was saying

@@HitstikFit Yeah. You're right

@@donarthiazi2443 Thank you. 😋 have a good one

If you don't have the score, the film is meh

The song in my head when I tryout for the proffesional league so I can remember Rudy and how he never gave up.

MovieMakinMonster what does color have to do with anything? He is a warrior! Represents us little guys!

Actual results like playing more than one game?

+Dennis Coffman I’ve met Rudy since his brother was the dean of my high school and my wrestling coach. Honestly he kind of thinks he’s a god or something and it was kind of annoying. Still a real good movie though

Tyler Gordon Disappointed to hear that but it doesn’t really surprise me. Sean Astin, who played Rudy, once said on a talk show that he had heard the Real Rudy was really milking his celebrity for all it was worth. Especially after this film came out.

While hearing these stories about the real Rudy all I can say is it doesent change my view of the story no one is perfect and if you were In his shoes you can’t even say how you would act because you’re not there to begin with so you have no idea therefore knowing that I don’t judge

"God damn it! Didn't I just tell you not to say that again, Uncle Junior!"

No he always get beat up. He only plays 12 seconds his whole career

@@caponekingpinking9917 Shut up you dork

Same . Father karras / Jason Miller will have a special place in heaven . Fun fact : he was offered the role of Travis bickle in taxi driver

Congratulations

Congrats 🎉

Did u play football?

Good luck brah, u can do it, 🔥✊🔥

You will run out of that tunnel!🏈 Play like a champion today!

Good luck man. Never, ever take no for an answer!

Once more into the fray Into the last good fight I'll ever know Live or die on this day Live or die on this day

Good luck, but don’t hang your self worth on that goal. The odds are heavily stacked against you. Unless youre winning state football player of the year, there’s a good chance you wont make it. There are plenty of 3* All-State players that dont get offered from schools like ND.

Cause all the chicks had bushes ?

@@daveyboy_ lol

Same here dude. Notre Dame was my favorite team once I watched this movie as a kid.

😢😢😢

Well played

Actually I met him he was real down-to-earth

Tell this to the Bulls man

Shook😱👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Eagle Eyes just like captain America!

You have to "want" to do it.

There is no gene for the human spirit! From another movie, but still.

Vincent VAughn is a half-back ...... old school half backs threw passes also, Frank Gifford the broadcaster holds the records for most touchdowns by a non quarterback. In the scene where Vince (O'Hare) gets sacked, Vince takes a pitch-out from the under-center QB and is then hit by Ruttiger. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZ6Tac1esbmRin0.html

Wow, was it really? no one knew that only u . In fact it wasnt in the credits either . Thanks so much. What about Rudy's fat friend D Bop, Was he a somebody also ?

@@daveyboy_ Jon Favreau.

@@ericdaniel323 Really , Wow i never knew. U mean they were both in s movie be4 swingers? awesome

Watch “Made” excellent film. Don’t for get swingers

Thai music will be in my head when I tryout for the proffesional league so I can remember Rudy and him never giving up

Sheer will and determination are huge factors to be considered in any life situation.

@@sidneyrodrigues728 I agree. I wasn’t good at all when I played. But more than half my teammates said I had the biggest heart on the team. To this day, that means a lot to me

Katie Williams a true modern masterpiece

Yeah it was a great speech. He was a great actor. Sad to see him go.

Thanks for your kind words ♥ 🎥

Skiing uphill WOULD be an Uphill battle. *Rimshot*. Thank you, thank you, and don't forget to tip your waiteress!

"For skiiing"! Lol!

It was actually " the men from the girls", but close.

Nowadays studios would never let a harmless line like that be said on film ...ridiculous

@@MixerMadness well, a lot.of girls can eat boys

Not in my defensive backfield. You want him you got him

Lol can't forget "coach if it was up to me I'd get rid of all of em" lmfao 😂😂😂

It's timeless

Rudy will always be my inspiration to never give up even when it seems low never give up and never let up. Bust your ass every day and the results will come.

Thank you for your kind words ♥

I love that scene too

We can all make it even in the face of impossible odds. You just have to have hope and faith. It will come. Just as I want to play for the MLS but this won’t be easy. I have to go through hard work, persistence and determination to get there. It will not be easy. Not even the slightest bit. But I will make it happen and I will somehow succeed and play at the stadium with hundreds of thousands of fans watching us. Watching me. But the day will soon come. Wish me the best of luck and don’t forget that hard work will pay one day. The efforts count and they will weigh upon success. Soon I will become. Proffesional and play soccer but the day will come pray for me and wish me all luck as I’m 15 and I want to become one of all. Thank you for reading this. Amen
