30th anniversary of the film Rudy. I grew up just outside of Joliet, IL. Went to the same HS as Rudy. Played w his nephew. No wonder I wound up at ND. Looking forward to watching it over the holidays.

Rudy is the reason my ND fandom started. Being able to watch them every week was another big reason. Moved around a lot but ND was constant.

That guy was my friend on myspace (yeah, remember that?), then I heard he got into some legal trouble, went to jail or whatever, and then he dropped off the face of the earth. Saw him on FB later, sent him an invite, he refused. Ah well! 🤣

Going to introduce my 6 yo son to Rudy tomorrow night before he goes to his first ND game against Wake! ☘️☘️

If I recall correctly the theatrical release was the week before or week of the “Game of the Century.”
Seeing Rudy at the movies, followed by Notre Dame beating No. 1 FSU, was magical.

It’s literally the reason I’m an ND fan. I watched Hoosiers and Rudy at 8 years old (2000 or so). I started playing basketball and became a huge Notre Dame football fan. I met Rudy at Castleton square mall a couple years later.

Was he an icon at HS? How large was his character? I’ve heard Montana’s take on him when interviewed.

I just picked up the 30th Anniversary 4k Blu-ray. Can't wait to watch it this weekend. One of the best sports movies ever made.
