On December 16, 2011 The Securities and Exchange Commission charged Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger and 12 others in a scheme to deceive investors into buying stock in his sports drink company. According to the SEC Ruettiger founded Rudy Nutrition to compete with Gatorade. Rudy Nutrition produced and sold modest amounts of a sports drink called “Rudy”. However, the company primarily served as a pump-and-dump scheme that occurred in 2008 and generated more than $11 million in illicit profits.
cwood wow the jersey scene was a lie but most of the film did happen including him getting carried off the field so I guess he wasn't just another player for those guys you tool
I thought I was the best athlete in the world when I was playing tackle football in my back yard with the neighborhood kids, no one could tackle me, I ran over everyone. I just knew I would be the next Walter Payton! This domination on the gridiron lasted until I got into Jr. High. lmao I quickly realized that I wasn't a great football player, but the kids I grew up with were just really bad!
I'm a grounds keeper for the football stadium at NotreDame. I grew up just four blocks from the stadium. Every day i go to work I thank GOD for letting me part of such a Great place. I feel like RUDY all the time. GOD IS GOOD.LOVE THY NOTREDAME.
@greymoose1000 I think this video is evidence enough that it's not fiction retard lol, I mean it's pretty obvious that it really happened. You need to slap yourself three times.
@cdubmeyer It didn't happen as showed in the movie dip shit.The players who actually played with him one of them was Joe Montana exposed the movie as bull shit.The scene when the players turned their uniforms in so Rudy could play was a lie.Never happened, they let Rudy play because its Notre Damn traditions is to let one player play the last game of the season.Rudy isnt different than the other player/ The only reason why he know of his is because he sold the story to a director. slap yourself
@cwood4ever #1 I never said that everything from the movie was true. Owned. #2 No movie ever makes it 100% true, they have to make scenes to keep peope tuned in. Owned. #3 I could care less for this guy, he has been indicted on scamming people recently and don't care for you to explain this whole detailed explanation when I didn't say that the whole movie was true, but it's defienetly not fiction which is what I told him. Owned and learn how to read. Now slap yourself 4 times.
@greymoose1000: It's possible LSU may win. But I think Rammer Jammer has as much chance at being song at the end of that game. Whoever wins will win the national championship. SEC!!! Need I say more.
We still want be playing little USC in the SUN BOWL this year. BCS bound. Look for Bama and OK in Title Game.....Roll Tide!!!
@Greymoose1000: What??? Listen kid, this was a grown up conversation, you need to go sit on daddy's knee and get him to tell you about the Big Boys in College football. USC is a blast from the past. Any slang toward Alabama means nothing. The Tide does it's talk on the field. Ask Ark. and Fl. Keep up with them this year, if LSU don't stop them they may add another National Championship. But you son shouldn't be on your dads comp. So run alone so you don't hear things little boys shouldn't......
@Tide12NC UAT plays out of conference cupcakes every year. LSWHO will spank UAT at Tuscaloser. AUTURD more than likely will beat UAT this year. Nick SATAN is DONE!
I graduated from Notre Dame. I have never figured out what Joe Montana's problem is about this issue. Anyone can take an old, archived issue of "The Observer" (our weekly ND newspaper) and see this story is true. Yes, it's Hollywood so had to be embellished, but.....SOOOOOO??? Just take the movie for what it's worth and go with it.
Being an Alabama fan and knowing the Irish are in the group of top historic teams, to walk on there and do what he did, WOW. Never give up on your dream. One of my favorite movies.
@Tide12NC This type of response should be expected from a follower of a truly delusional school (UAT in Tuscaloser) about a truly delusional and fictional piece of crap (RUDY)! You have been addressed by the great and wise GREYMOOSE of USC!
As a die hard Michigan fan, I absolutely love this story. This is the American dream and Rudy is just the greatest example of what we can do if we put our minds to it. Nothing, absolutely nothing is beyond our reach if we want it badly enough and if we work hard for our dreams. Great, great story.
wooow im scared. he said in highschool he was 5 "7 and 165 pounds. Thats exactly what i am and im a defensive end. holy shit, but im a greshman so i got an excuse.
I have been a Notre Dame fan all my life. And I love this movie. My Dad and Grandpa would also clean the field after. My Grandma has recently died. She had pictures of my Dad from his childhood. He came across some from a Notre Dame game. It was a polaroid, there was a date on the back. 11-8-1975. My Dad and Grandpa had been at the actual Rudy game! Ever since I found this out, I've always wanted to meet Rudy. So please thumb this comment so he can see this and maybe I will be able to meet him..
@gabby554466 He owns a gym in Joliet Illinois about an hour south from Chicago, I live near there and alot of people I know go to work out there. If you wanted and could, im sure you could go there and ask for him and he would be glad to meet you.
@gabby554466 I doubt you want to meet him now, he has been accused of being a scammer, and he already has returned hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines
@gabby554466 It's a question of his moral. If I go scam you and your family but yet I was really persistent on getting on the best baseball team in America and had a great story would you feel that you wanted to meet me. It's hard to let go something that gives you good spirit and something you have thought for so long
The world is a better place with this story being told. I've seen the movie over 20 times and it still brings me to tears every time. Thank God for people like this in the world.
I'am so glad my teachers showed me this movie really insires me to listen to yourself and you can do whatever you can BEST MOVIE!!! thumbs up if you think the same
The one goal I've always had in life was just to succeed in anything I did. But, I know I would never make it to the college I've always wanted to go and that was Penn State.

@tremone21 I dont know what the hell the agruement between you two rooted from, but racism is always VERY out of line, dont listen to him, assholes like him are the bane of america,
The H.S. classroom scenes were filmed at John Adams High School in So. Bend, IN. That was during my Junior year and the extras (other students) were actual JAHS students. It was a fun time in the area.
@mattythemole My best to you. I know you will always remember the path you've taken, never easy, frought with self doubt, and yet you persevered. Excellent. Now, in retirement, I try to encourage the next generation to never settle for something but strive for what they feel can be achieved. And this is my wish for you; to share your experience with others, and offer encouragement through example. Well done.
Here in So. Cal Kevin and Bean in the morning from Kroq 106.7fm totally squashed Rudy's story. They felt that his story was not worth being told because the truth is on top of only being played once he barely kept a decent grade point average and was on academic probabation in and out of his time at Notre Dame. Know wonder our country is failing when people like Kevin and Bean from Kroq are sending a message to people to give up......FUCKING MEDIA! Rudy is a true display of courage!
im a buckeyes and irish fan, i i have alot of respect for rudy ruettiger, he is an inspiration,rudy will allways be remembered as a notre dame football legend, my favorite fighting irish players are # 45 rudy ruettiger,and # 6 jerome bettis.
@Obelisk2290 I know kids who have 15 or 16 brothers and sisters! Having 14 kids is nothing compared to other people! Having 14 kids just made it harder for the family to make money with all those mouths to feed, and even more incredible he achieved his dream!
@Obelisk2290@Obelisk2290 Selfish according to the new environmental thought, but back then people thought differently. Its funny how intolerant you libs are.
@Cenamark2 has nothing to do with liberal or conservative if so back then people though slavery was acceptable and a 32 year old impregnating a 15 year old was acceptable and others before the "new environmental thought". Its called progress
@wargod2009 Most parents cant and saddle their children with a big disadvantage, have to live with government assistance and their kids cant go to college and the cycle continues. As far as the movie, Montana said that the movie was overblown
Im a texas longhorns fan, and ive never liked notre dame and i never understood why anybody did. Then i watched rudy. Now everytime I watch a notre dame game, i probably will look upon them with more respect and think of all those kids who want to go there, much like i want to be a longhorn.
He's an inspiration! My dream school has always been UCLA since I graduated high school. I got admitted 6 years later; I'm attending in the Fall of 2010 :)
@valrk247 Thats sweet. My dream school is Arkansas since I was little...I used to live in Arkansas growing up. I live in San Diego now. I've talked to my parents about it and they support of the opportunity. I am leaving at the beginning of December.
I had a similar school experience, having dyslexia placed me in the eyes of my high school guidance counselor as not college material. Based on that judgement, I went to a trade school to learn radio and TV repair. Then I began to wonder why I couldn't go to college when I seemed to excel in science and math. I eventually graduated with a PhD in geophysics from Rice U.
@targabob A good lesson out of your experience is to not listen to (or i should say, take to heart) what a highschool guidance counselor tells you. Their opinion is just an opinion, where they have no way of knowing your true potential. The often think they do, and that's a huge mistake they make. The best one's are the one's who believe in the dream, the unknown. Congrads on defying the odds mate.
@targabob Same here! Growing up I never knew anything about college nor did my parents for I was raised in a typical American blue collar household just like rudy. I had dreams of my own but my parents never took me seriously because I wasnt the best student in grade or high school. After high school I became a carpenter apprentice till one fusterating day after six years I had enough and quit. I am now 30 years old and finishing the final year of my undergrad at Cal. Poly San Louis Obispo.
@MattyTheMole good for you Matty, you have achieved what most people will never accomplish in their entire lives. Congratulations on being a success story
Hey I got to meet Rudy Ruettiger and did a speech very inspirational was awesome, being born and raised in Indiana big ND fan and being Catholic, my dream was to go to ND too, Ironic thing to was my first ND game was Nov 8,03, Rudy's last and only game he played in Nov 8th 1975 28yrs to the day, I showed him the ticket stub and told him about it, He's like oh wow guy thats great we were destine to meet. Gave him a ND Shirt and ND hat and said you were born to wear this hat.
I am a Penn State fan, and Notre Dame used to be one of our archrivals, but this is probably the most inspirational story I have ever seen for a kid like Rudy, doing what he wanted to do. So I put my feelings against Notre Dame aside and really took a look at his incredible story.
What a loser. Pathetic story and crapo movie. He had a dream? Who cares? He couldn't cut it, so he handed out towels to the real players for 4 years so he could suit up and pretend he was a football player? LOL! is that inspirational? It sucks.
Wow, what a sad little man you must be. Rudy didn't get love and support from his family either but he turned that into a drive and desire to accomplish great things and he did. He continues to do great things through the Rudy Ruettiger Foundation. Check it out. It just might help you find some peace and purpose in your life. GO IRISH!
I know all to well about being a dreamer. I've got the exact same problem, its sucks when you have to face the real world but it can help get you through some hard times.
rudys a good guy he worked hard to achieve this i mean i know i have learning disibilitys as well i had my diploma modfied in highschool i always want to make the baseball team an basketball team an have never had a mentor or much of a father in life so i felt like rudy i always had to try an fail my only goal in life was to be aBLE TO GRAB THE RIM ON A 10FT RIM I HOPE ITS NOT TO LATE IM 28YLD BUT BELIEVE ITS STILL ACHIEVEABLE
my uncle played during the time period that this took place (he was the long snapper) and he confided to me that it didnt happen anything like it did in the movie hahaha. he said that nobody chanted or even really cared that much lol.
yeah i can see that being the case.. the fans don't know anything about the prep teams or anything. i guess most movies based on true stories have to be fictionalized a bit to make it worth watching
my name is Rudy and I actually met this guy and when I did I told him my name was Rudy and he immediately gave me an autograph which he was makin everyone pay for except me and talked to me for alittle while... real cool guy!
he got in on a notre dame varsity game. and made a tackle. what have u done with your life. prolly get a bunch of worthless degrees. thats really acheiving a dream lol. i would like to see anyone do what he did. he did it and he did it all by him self. he did the work. id be show boating too. id rub it in every ones face who ever doubted me
Only in this country do people look down on the educated . . .. Getting a degree, not to mention multiple degrees is not worthless. It is an accomplishment as well, that requires a lot of hard work. But Rudy's story is different. It appeals to the American spirit, the American dream, and the value of hard work. He is allowed to be arrogant, he got a degree from one of the best schools in the country while battling a learning disability! On top of ALL that, he was a hero on the field. Amazing =)
He s just flat out snobbish. Not a people person at all. He thinks hes big time cuz he has assistants and he just has that arrogant glow about him. I talked to him and hes just very condescending. A buddy of mine also does a podcast and Rudy was supposed to appear and apparently he stood up him up 3 times despite promises from his "assistants" He never gave him the courtesy of letting him know why either. He just happens to be a glorified bench warmer and he thinks hes god
LOL he charges for autographs but my name is Rudy also so he gave me one for free and talked to me a bit... he seems cool he seems like a guy I could get drunk with!
It doesnt matter whether only one guy held him on his shoulders or all of them, or whether the whole stadium cared, what matters is he played for notre dame, which for many seemed impossible!
I don't think Rudy married his girlfriend, I just watched the movie this past weekend, and from what I understood was his brother hooked up with her while he was away.
The Rudy movie was great, but as is common with movies "based on true stories" it is juked up with bullshit. Ex; in the movie, at the end, nearly the whole team is focused on Rudy with him being hauled off a hero. In real life, it was just a couple of players half-assed holding him up briefly with no one else paying any attention. The players never threatened to quit either. Oh well, Hollywood.
The dream is most the powerful thing ever to achieve anything you want in life. Period.

I heard this kid, Rudy, graduated at the age of 33. He went to ND for 14 years.
Was this true?
He now lives at home in South Bend with his parents plus his 300 pound wife plus 6 kids on welfare.

@mattythemole My best to you. I know you will always remember the path you've taken, never easy, frought with self doubt, and yet you persevered. Excellent. Now, in retirement, I try to encourage the next generation to never settle for something but strive for what they feel can be achieved. And this is my wish for you; to share your experience with others, and offer encouragement through example. Well done.

Here in So. Cal Kevin and Bean in the morning from Kroq 106.7fm totally squashed Rudy's story. They felt that his story was not worth being told because the truth is on top of only being played once he barely kept a decent grade point average and was on academic probabation in and out of his time at Notre Dame. Know wonder our country is failing when people like Kevin and Bean from Kroq are sending a message to people to give up......FUCKING MEDIA! Rudy is a true display of courage!

I had a similar school experience, having dyslexia placed me in the eyes of my high school guidance counselor as not college material. Based on that judgement, I went to a trade school to learn radio and TV repair. Then I began to wonder why I couldn't go to college when I seemed to excel in science and math. I eventually graduated with a PhD in geophysics from Rice U.

@targabob A good lesson out of your experience is to not listen to (or i should say, take to heart) what a highschool guidance counselor tells you. Their opinion is just an opinion, where they have no way of knowing your true potential. The often think they do, and that's a huge mistake they make. The best one's are the one's who believe in the dream, the unknown. Congrads on defying the odds mate.

@targabob Same here! Growing up I never knew anything about college nor did my parents for I was raised in a typical American blue collar household just like rudy. I had dreams of my own but my parents never took me seriously because I wasnt the best student in grade or high school. After high school I became a carpenter apprentice till one fusterating day after six years I had enough and quit. I am now 30 years old and finishing the final year of my undergrad at Cal.

Only in this country do people look down on the educated . . .. Getting a degree, not to mention multiple degrees is not worthless. It is an accomplishment as well, that requires a lot of hard work. But Rudy's story is different. It appeals to the American spirit, the American dream, and the value of hard work. He is allowed to be arrogant, he got a degree from one of the best schools in the country while battling a learning disability! On top of ALL that, he was a hero on the field. Amazing =)

The Rudy movie was great, but as is common with movies "based on true stories" it is juked up with bullshit. Ex; in the movie, at the end, nearly the whole team is focused on Rudy with him being hauled off a hero. In real life, it was just a couple of players half-assed holding him up briefly with no one else paying any attention. The players never threatened to quit either. Oh well, Hollywood.
