The Other Guy In Rudy

Showoff...

So I am daydreaming on the bus to work today and all of a sudden it hits me, what did the other guy in Rudy think? What guy am I talking about? Well the one player who had to sit in that final game because Rudy got to play. Think about it! Coach Devine knows there is a strict 60 player dress rule. All the players that went to his office in the climactic scene knew THEY wouldn't be the ones that would actually have to sit, no no of course not. Imagine if you were the 60th guy on that roster though, barely dressing for every game. Maybe he was a Senior. Maybe it was HIS last game too. Maybe his dog just died and he was REALLY looking forward to being on the sidelines for his final game vs. Georgia Tech. He is on a goddamn scholarship to Notre Dame! I bet his whole family was getting ready to make the trip to South Bend for his final game as a Fighting Irishman and now they had to cancel because he wasn't even going to be on the field. But NOOOOOO Rudy has to come along and screw it all up and now he is sitting in the stands drinking hot chocolate. To add insult to injury everyone starts chanting "Rudy... Rudy... Rudy!" I wonder if he did. I wonder if he played along like he wasnt wicked pissed that he had to sit so Rudy could play. Maybe he hated Rudy for being a suck-up and always trying so hard and making everyone else look like jerks. Now he has to sit and watch his team win the big game, but nobody ever worries about him. Well I do.
