The Coolest Thing I've Ever Learned

[TJ Wells]

Apparently, my counselor from high school, Mick Ruettiger, is the brother of Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, the character portrayed in Rudy.

he spoke at my school my senior year....kids wouldn't shut up in the stands and he literally got pissed off and yelled at them

well, his parents were working on the theory that if you have enough kids, one of them will option a story that becomes a classic sports movie, and thus financing the families from there on...
