I think this probably goes in the "Duh" category. Purdue blogger picks up on Joe Montana's comments about Rudy.

"Sit down, everybody. This is kind of a bombshell.

It turns out that Rudy, everbody's* favorite underdog, was a bit of an exaggeration. I know, I was shocked, too. What is there to believe in anymore?

Joe Montana went on the Dan Patrick Show yesterday and, in between sounding like he was completely baked, Joe sighed through a grudging explanation that, yes, he was there when Rudy was there and yes, Rudy got to play in their last game... but no, nobody turned in their jerseys and threatened to quit and no, they were not playing anything but a cupcake and no, despite having carried him off the field, it wasn't done seriously. It was done as kind of a joke. You know, the kind of dick thing they do at Notre Dame that makes opponents and fans hate them.

Can you believe it? I know I can't.

To think.... a story involving Notre Dame football three-plus decades ago has been stretched and distorted beyond reality. I mean, what's next? IU basketball fans wanting to have Bobby Knight back for a night to honor him?

Oh.

Everybody is defined as really sad, clueless people who think movies like Rudy and The Blind Side are actually true-to-life. "

The also used the Mount Carmel football team at Old St Rita stadium in the opening scene posing as Joliet Catholic Players.

I'll bet if they ever make a movie about Brian Cardinal it will be embellished as well.

I just watched The St. Valentine's Day Massacre and not only did Jason Robards look nothing like Al Capone, but I'm pretty sure Bugs Moran never referred to him as a "spaghetti snapper" in real life. I"M SO DISILLUSIONED!!!!!

I still think Rudy is one of the crappiest movies I have ever seen.

Hilarious.

Then again, most of the "tradition" of Notre Dame is embellished.

Maybe when Purdue gets some tradition they can embellish it too.

They should have one national title.

In 1943, Notre Dame actually won the national title at 9-1. Purdue finished second at 9-0 including a win over Great Lakes Navy, who was the only team to beat Notre Dame that year. Damn biased media!

I didn't know this before, but the actor who played Ara Parseghian in Rudy is the same guy who played Father Karras in The Exorcist.

If you ask most people associated with ND football, they are not fans of "Rudy" (the person, not the movie). He's a notorious jerk and tends to be a pretty bad guy when he has the firewater in him. Which just happens to be all of the time.

Allegedly.....

Yeah, this really isn't breaking news...I've heard multiple people say similar things before today...

yeah... it's just funny hearing it out of the Poster Boy of ND Football... and hearing it on a show hosted by another Poster Boy of ND Football.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong...I love it...just wasn't surprised...

I haven't read it, but I'm SURE there is no embelishment in here either:

This video of Michigan is not embellished.

Fuck... I'd take a few of those Walmart Wildcats at Ryan Field over the idiots who sit behind me who ask me to sit down when it's 3rd and inches.

Can't wait to see how U.S.C. will be portrayed in the O.J. Simpson flick!!!!
