Rich Eisen Really Doesn't Like 'Rudy'
By Ryan Phillips | May 21 2020
Rich Eisen went to Michigan and, as a result, isn't a big Notre Dame guy. Today, he launched yet another attack on a beloved movie involving the Fighting Irish. Yes, Eisen continued his feud with Rudy.
Here's what he said:
"You know what's another non-sports movie? #Rudy. Because that's pure fantasy. That's up there with #GameofThrones without the dragon. Pure fantasy."@richeisen's Battle against "Rudy" wages on.

This isn't the first time he's attacked the feel-good classic. In fact, he's done it a number of times over the years. This might be my favorite:
Told @SeanAstin I hate Notre Dame so much I rent "Rudy" hoping he pops a quad. The response needed earmuffs #GoBluehttps://t.co/uTJTMtac6h

A few years later he went off on it again:
On the 27th anniversary of #WhiteMenCantJump, we asked what's the best basketball movie?

Watch to see if you agree with @richeisen and stay for his "Rudy" #HotTake: pic.twitter.com/mb0dgoNF2C
He also loved this GameDay sign in 2013:

Eisen's feud with the movie runs long and deep and we're sure his status as a Michigan Man has a lot to do with it. But, yeah, the movie did take significant liberties with the facts.
