heart in some of my players bodies." - Coach Ara Pareseghian to the undersized Rudy
Why watch this? This

just won't quit.

Dad's Preview:
Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger has a dream to play football for Notre
Dame. Forget that he is too little for big time college ball. Against all odds, he "walks on" to the team
and barely makes the practice squad. His
dream appears crushed. If you need to find some inspiration. If
you are afraid to take on the big guys. Look no
further - Rudy is your man, and this story will help you get
your butt into gear. |
