Rudy is a wholly unlikeable character; self-absorbed and self-centered. He doesn't care about anyone, or anything, except Notre Dame and Notre Dame football, and it's actually really sad to watch everyone else enable him throughout the movie. He didn't care about studying in HS, until he's told he can't go on a ND campus tour just to gawk over the football team. Someone does him a favor to get him into junior college - but he doesn't care about the education he receives there, because all he cares about is transferring to Notre Dame. He even says it in the movie, that since Notre Dame doesn't accept senior transfers, it's all been for nothing if he doesn't get in as a junior. Someone offers to tutor him to help him keep his grades up - and when this so-called friend is moving across the country, on his last day there, does he focus on the friend? No, he's too busy pouting in his room because Notre Dame has a new football coach and what about the promise the old coach made to him? He gets a job he's not qualified for to help him pay for it, and his boss lets him sleep there for free (which he doesn't have to do). And after all that, after everything everyone has done to help him get into the University of Notre Dame - because unlike Rudy, they know it is actually a University, not just a football team - this is his way of saying thanks. "I didn't get to play football, so who cares about the rest of it?" Wholly delusional is more like it.
What sucks is this is totally made up and this guy never existed. Would have been cool if he did. And he should have gotten an Oscar nominating for this. What a great actor.
In 1993 I had already entered the professional workforce. But I couldn't take the fact of what could of been. And like he said not a week passed by I didn't think of it. So I tried out for a low minor league baseball team single A. While going to work....lloll...9 to 5....lloll... Becuase I couldn't live with myself at that point to be honest of what might of been.... . Finally after a tough try out and spring I made the minor league team. I Sat the bench had a few at bats, few double plays , one home run almost....a few strike outs not goin to lie,...some nice plays. I was well on the road to displacing the starting second baseman ...or ?..forcing him to split time ......... When or then. I realized the company I was in till then my fearlessness had paved the way, till one day I looked and said to myself I can't do some of those things..that they are doing....and. then I saw the road ahead....would be life altering...it would require me leaving my job, and a very transient life, with no guarantees of elevating passed the low minors... I felt I had proven what I needed to prove to myself.....and ....it was settled ... and I returned the uniform washed to him said... thank you...and didn't return...the next day. And...lloll... returned to my professional... career, ...truth is I had fallen in love with engineering, and i loved my job...dearly...and loved making things...and it had replaced my love for the game...oddly enough... And after that or since then when it was settled. I could sleep at night the rest of my life....lloll....without any problems.
My dad William R. (Rudy) Evans Jr. was a Bench Warmer on his Highschool Football Team, known as the Wrens Cardinals in Jefferson County, Georgia. Sadly his Highschool and the Wrens Cardinals, no longer exist. Dad's Highschool was eventually Re-Named JCHS, which is short for Jefferson County High School Warriors.
