1:11:01
If they can't protect themseIves,
I don't want them.
1:11:04
The kid with bIood on him.
1:11:06
Ruettiger?
1:11:07
Have you been watching?
No athIetic skiII.
1:11:10
-He's put more effort than anybody.
-You feIIows decide.
1:11:14
Not in my defensive backfieId.
You want him, you got him.
1:11:19
AII right, shower up.
We'II Iet you know.
1:11:24
You think you made it?
1:11:27
UnfortunateIy, yeah.
1:11:29
What is so unfortunate
about making the team?
1:11:32
This is my third year as a waIk-on.
1:11:34
I had schoIarships
to two Big Ten schooIs.
1:11:37
But my father was
an aII-American here...
1:11:40
...so I get a Iot of famiIy pressure.
1:11:42
I don't understand.
1:11:44
If you haven't been cut,
then you stiII have a chance.
1:11:47
-What, a chance to pIay?
-Yeah.
1:11:49
The onIy reason they keep me on
here is because I'm a Iegacy.
1:11:53
To them I'm no more vaIuabIe
than a tackIing dummy.
1:11:56
Ruettiger, come with me.
1:11:58
Yeah, coach.
1:12:01
You want on the team pretty bad.
1:12:03
You have no idea.
1:12:05
-You sure busted your baIIs out there.
-Coach, I'II do anything.
1:12:08
You think you can give
the same effort...
1:12:10
...day in and day out
for the next five months?
1:12:13
Sir, I have no doubt.
1:12:15
Fine.
If you do Iighten up one hair...
1:12:20
...I'II throw you off this team
so fast you won't know what hit you.
1:12:25
Wait a minute.
1:12:27
Throw me off? That means
I gotta be on the team first.
1:12:30
-Don't Iet me down.
-Does that mean I'm on the team?
1:12:32
-Yeah, kid, you're on the team.
-Thank you!
1:12:35
Hey, hey, come on.
1:12:36
Go put some shoes on.
