[@WalkerOne]

It still captures the feel of indiana basketball.

[@FAITHandLOGIC]

He told a Jewish guy he's having a come to Jesus moment. 😆

[@jacobj297]

Wait until he finds out about remember the titans

[@carseye1219]

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.

[@jdraven0890]

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!

[@kokoken1]

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.

[@bradmiller9121]

Not really, Muncie Central was the favorite but Milan was a close second fav.

[@MichaelMurphy-kj3xf]

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!]

[@seanwebb605]

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

[@thomasdesmond2233]

Kurt Vonnegut jr

[@furnitureconsortium]

Jane Pauley! David Lee Roth! Axl Rose! Izzy Stradlin!

[@hennagaijin100]

Lincoln lived there for awhile. So did Charles Manson.

[@arod3610]

[@davidkinsey8657]

He needs to make a sequel about Crispus Attuck's 1st championship team. He should call it "Hoosiers Too."

[@Stepp1a]

You just call it “Oscar”.

[@ChowDownDetroit]

I heard a rumor that Space Jam is fiction too.

[@brianmcg321]

Don’t tell him about Star Wars

[@leonh.kalayjian6556]

30 year old Barbara Hershey falling for 50 year old Gene Hackman?

[@brianmcg321]

Yeah, he could do a lot better than her.

[@mygirl3066]

Remember the Titans was even worse. Every team in the league had black players, not just the Titans.

[@martinward7230]

Remember the Titans is another one.

[@williampietsch2034]

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.

[@mc76]

Buddy and Rade foul out, and Everett reinjures his shoulder. Ollie is the only one left on the bench.

[@ianbauer4703]

Field of Dreams...yup, made up too.

[@jdraven0890]

..... what?!

[@TheBoastWang]

Not like this, not like this.

[@JoeCoughlin3]

"Not 'Marty', Dan.Don't do this to me. It's too humiliating" RIP Herb Stempel

[@gregwatson8219]

Ha! Its Hollywood, Rich!

[@brewer921]

Hoosiers is overwrought.

[@notsure9137]

My dad said he had a similar reaction when he was a kid and found out that Mayberry was not a real place.

[@johnnyzuidema6193]

Fake sports movies are trash: Rocky

[@jbsnyder1736]

It's a movie! Duh!

[@bradmiller9121]

How can Rich be so naive? Each and everyone of us here in Indiana knew it was fiction.

[@97NikeSb]

Well I mean not everyone lives in Indiana

[@bradmiller9121]

@@97NikeSb I don't think it takes away from the greatness of the movie though, and my than Rudy should be downplayed.

[@keepkalm]

I’d always heard they beat Oscar Robertson’s team from Indianapolis in the State Final. Is at least that much true?

[@flpndrox]

​@@keepkalm It was in the Semifinals, but yes. Big O was just a sophomore.

[@seanwebb605]

Man I hate phone interviews. Sounds horrible.

[@nadeau]

Don't worry Rich. Most of what you believe is fiction, but have a good cry about it.

[@jamaljohnson6938]

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?
