Some goosebumps to go with your coffee...

Morning Cards fans. Hope you're up for this "nooner" today, as Krags calls them. Grab your batteries and get tanked, it's WVU time! Enough small talk, let's get to it. In the final scene, when the offense disobeys the coach (To hell with Devine, Billy! Let's get a score for Rudy!) is loosely based on the truth. Rudy's senior year was the season where the NCAA experimented with a 60-player limit (also referenced in the film). Because of this, there were several players on the team that never got a chance to dress, let alone play. Once the outcome was determined, everyone that saw the field that day was essentially going for broke, trying to get the most out of every play. Many players did go up to Rudy after the late touchdown saying, "Now it's your turn!" and similar encouragements, but the extra scoring was more for selfish reasons than anything else. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh C! A! R! D! S! CARDS!!!
