A few more buckets by Elijah & some folks will be clamoring for Mussini to go back to Italy. We just love creating walk on legends around here.
Everyone needs to watch Rudy to get this out of their system. 
Am I the only person who found Rudy annoying? Midway through the movie I started rooting against him. In fact it might have been more than simple annoyance as I was openly rooting for Gollum to kill Rudy in the last Lord of the Rings movie.
You must be a USC or Michigan fan.
no affiliation.
But honestly even his family disliked Rudy. His brother stole his girlfriend, his other brother hated him and poor Ned Beatty looked like he had more fun in the Deliverance than he did being Rudy's dad.
Dee Bob loved him though, and Jamie O'Hara defied his coach to get Rudy in the game. Given the career arcs of Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn respectively, I think it looks like Rudy was liked by the important people.
I honestly do feel a kind of a fleeting dislike of Rudy every time I watch it when he quits because he didnt make the dress list. I then forgive him because it shows he is human rather than some inhuman tackling dummy who is always there to help, but in the moment where his walk on buddy with all the pressure in the world from his ND alum dad who turned down schollie offers from Big 10 schools tells Rudy the only reason he stayed on his senior year was because of Rudy, and Rudy dismisses him, I think "a rear of a donkey". But then he quickly redeems himself.
