...except, of course, Maris Valainis (Jimmy Chitwood). He did play golf at Purdue.

Greatest single sports movie of all time? And why?

Rudy, period!

Sounds graphic. Is that a sequel?

Hoosiers. It's the only sports movie that has made me cry.

zonacougar

Bull Durham

Bull Durham would be if Tim Robbins was remotely athletic

Rocky

One of my all-time favorite movies.

Coug Eastwood

8/21/14 9:50am

Remember the Titans is good

jonnnylingo

8/21/14 9:48am

cringe-worthy at times.

The Y's Insider

8/21/14 9:57am

That movie tries so hard to run through every emotion possible

BYUheaven

8/21/14 10:00am

Super cheesy. Acrobatic football scenes. Disney channel-ish.

The Y's Insider

8/21/14 10:02am

Acrobatic football scenes?

southernfriedcougar

8/21/14 10:11am

A good synopsis of everything I disliked...

The Y's Insider

8/21/14 10:20am

Two Paul Lasike blocks = impossible acrobatic ending.

southernfriedcougar

8/21/14 10:38am

IIRC there was a lot worse in other scenes. Flips, twists, etc.

BigYfan

Something with drama, suspense, under-dog, and romance!

Tin Cup has to be in the conversation.

PlanoCougar

8/21/14 10:05am

Miracle

Stay Puft

8/21/14 10:05am

Warrior is probably my favorite.

PlanoCougar

8/21/14 10:06am

that was very good...one of the best of the 'new' films.

zonacougar

8/21/14 10:08am

Sorry, byujacob, didn't notice you posted this already. But I agree with you.

Just don't read the book

BYUnerd

8/21/14 10:17am

I've never read it, but I know the ending is quite different.

Raging Bull
