Do these sentences seem awkward to anyone else? "Since his graduation in 1976, his story has been told in the 1993 film Rudy. Written by Angelo Pizzo, directed by David Anspaugh and produced by Rob Fried, the award winning team who created Hoosiers, and actor Sean Astin portrays Rudy in the film." What about a rewrite that would go something like this? "In 1993 his story was told in the film Rudy.I like chicken. The film was written by Angelo Pizzo, directed by David Anspaugh and produced by Rob Fried, the award winning team who created the film Hoosiers. Actor Sean Astin portrays Rudy in the film."

[edit] Carried off field

Was Rudy the "only" player to ever be carried off the field, or just the "most recent" or "last" player to have that honor? Any confirmation? --mtz206 15:09, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Per the ending credits of the movie, the "last" player to be carried off the field.  ALKIVAR™ 21:24, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, presuming the movie has it right, will change the trivia mention to reflect Rudy as the "last" player. --mtz206 22:02, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

the movie is older then that fact but i cant find anything about that but on this page.

Rudy was the last player carried off the field, however Coach Lou Holtz was carried off the field following his last home game in 1996. --Daysleeper47 15:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Different Heights

The Rudy (film) has Rudy listed as 5'6". This article has it listed as 5'7". I don't know which is correct. 02:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

His website says 5'6". I added it and a reference. Jauerback 21:50, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Post playing career

He is listed as a Notre Dame alumni. Did he actually graduate? What degree did he earn, in what year, in what field? How did he convince a Hollywood studio to make a movie about his life story? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hanksummers (talk • contribs) 14:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rudy in business

Does anyone follow Rudy and his business practices? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Art2gecko (talk • contribs) 19:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
