We all loved the movie, based on the story of Daniel Ruettiger. If you’re a high school football fan, and know somebody who is Rudy-esque, nominate him (or her) for the Rudy Awards. Quoting the site:
The High School Football Rudy Awards honor high school football players who demonstrate the exemplary values of inspirational football legend Daniel ‘Rudy’ Ruettiger, the subject of the beloved and inspirational film RUDY. The award will not be won by the most talented players with the best stats, but rather the Rudy Awards measure the size of a player’s heart. We are searching for high school football players who demonstrate what Rudy calls “The Four C’s”: Character, Courage, Contribution and Commitment.
There a decent chunk of college scholarship change available for the winners as well as for the runners-up. Based on the contact info on the site, there are some locals behind it, which is why it’s being mentioned here (Jon can’t have all the fun stuff).
