You mean winning the state championship game 35-0, or whatever it was, wasn't as dramatic as a 70 yard reverse to win the game by one score. But they tracked a true story with some literary license well enough.
By the way, the Milan High School basketball team of 1953-54 was actually heavily favored to win the state title despite the small enrollment. The team finished the season with a record of 28-2. No wonder Angelo Pizzo had such a problem writing the screenplay.
I'm from Boston, but Indiana has given the world some of my favorite great people / things: 1. Abraham Lincoln 2. Larry Bird 3. David Letterman 4. Janet Jackson 5. Jackson 5 (pre-child molestation) 6. Brad Stevens 7. Gus Grissom 8. Oscar Robertson 9. Cole Porter 10. John Wooden And of course - Hoosiers! [Oh yeah - F Rudy!]
Question: what the hell was ollie doing in the game late in the 4th quarter in a tournament game? That's some questionable coaching. I still love Hoosiers.
It still captures the feel of indiana basketball.
My dad said he had a similar reaction when he was a kid and found out that Mayberry was not a real place.
Wait until he finds out about remember the titans

He told a Jewish guy he's having a come to Jesus moment. 😆
I would have bet money that "Hoosiers" was accurate to reality. Come to think of it, I don't know WHY I think that, but I was convinced of it!

Not really, Muncie Central was the favorite but Milan was a close second fav.
Remember the Titans was even worse. Every team in the league had black players, not just the Titans.

Michael Murphy Grissom blew up. He blew up real good.

David Lee Roth!
Axl Rose!
Izzy Stradlin!
Lincoln lived there for awhile. So did Charles Manson.
I heard a rumor that Space Jam is fiction too.
He needs to make a sequel about Crispus Attuck's 1st championship team. He should call it "Hoosiers Too."
You just call it “Oscar”.
Don’t tell him about Star Wars
30 year old Barbara Hershey falling for 50 year old Gene Hackman?
Yeah, he could do a lot better than her.

Buddy and Rade foul out, and Everett reinjures his shoulder. Ollie is the only one left on the bench.
Remember the Titans is another one.
Field of Dreams...yup, made up too.
..... what?!
Man I hate phone interviews. Sounds horrible.
Not like this, not like this.

Ha! Its Hollywood, Rich!
Fake sports movies are trash: Rocky
How can Rich be so naive? Each and everyone of us here in Indiana knew it was fiction.
Well I mean not everyone lives in Indiana
@@97NikeSb I don't think it takes away from the greatness of the movie though, and my than Rudy should be downplayed.
I’d always heard they beat Oscar Robertson’s team from Indianapolis in the State Final. Is at least that much true?
@@keepkalm It was in the Semifinals, but yes. Big O was just a sophomore.
Hoosiers is overwrought.
It's a movie! Duh!
Don't worry Rich. Most of what you believe is fiction, but have a good cry about it.
And if you aren’t a kid and you are a grown man that’s straight up sad dog like fr? What does moms basement feel like?
