I asked this on the CFB board but you guys probably know also:

How real was the movie 'Rudy'? I know there was really a guy named that who walked on at Notre Dame yadda yadda. But at the end, did the real Rudy actually get in the game and make a tackle?

Gotta admit that's pretty cool
People say a lot of the movie was completely false but I think that part was true. When you see pictures of the real guy he looks a lot bigger than Sean Aston was.

I know this board is populated by a bunch of illiterates so i wont suggest reading the book which is absolutely incredible- one of my favorites- but I would suggest watching this series. It starts the 27th. All the reviews have been spectacular. It is an amazing story based on some real life individuals. While it is DEFINITELY NOT a true story- a few of the main characters are loosely based on real individuals.
