OT: My First Viewing of 'Blue Chips'

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

A few observations:

1: The (probable) accuracy of this film is staggering. Even being 20+ years old.

2. The NERVE Nover had going in and asking for $30k straight up.

3. Chuck Crabb is the Western University PA announcer.

Great movie.

 

It's Must See TV!

 

A lot of truth in that movie---just think what inflation has done to the benefit$ that schools like UK offer now!

 

Sorry---couldn't resist taking a shot at the D-league team to the South. :biggrin:

Say what???  Mellencamp was boss back in the day----I have to ask if you ever saw him perform live?

 

I saw 2 concerts----one at IU and saw him in Indy too----2 of the best concerts ever.  The Scarecrow tour was classic.  Whether you like his style of music or not-- he is a true Hoosier icon and fan who supports IU. For years, he was about the closest thing we had to IU royalty/celebrity at the games.  Gotta love that Mellencamp Pavillion and other donations and projects he has funded too.

 

PLAY GUITAR!

Good memories and good times!

It's on Netflix?! I spent a half hour looking for a good illegal stream of it.

It's on regular Netflix, not streaming.

I'm actually at that scene right now. And I'm puking.

But Calbert and Keith Smart suited up for the movie to make it a little more tolerable.

Edit: And at least one Graham I believe.

Pretty sure Cris Reynolds also

[Naturalhoosier 15,407]

Eric Anderson and Jamal Meeks too.

Eric Anderson and Jamal Meeks too.

That's right .I'm going to have to watch that one again.It's been years since I saw it.

The old farm house where the coach goes to recruit Ricky Roe is my Great Aunt's house. We go there every Thanksgiving. The studio was nice enough to give her a few director's chairs with the title across them (and I am sure some cash too).

I respect his affiliation to Iu and the things he does for the community. But I don't like his music. Scarecrow, for me, is one of his few songs that are halfway decent. No I have not seen him live. Just not my cup of tea, that's all. And I do play guitar!!

Regular Netflix still exists?? Like they mail you those DVD thingys?

[Uwe Robb 1,072]

Pretty sure Matt Painter is in this movie somewhere as well.

[mamasa 15,227]

Eric Anderson and Jamal Meeks too.

Jamal Meeks ran over my toes with his car right outside the business building my freshman year. Ah, memories

[HoosierCoop 3,901]

Saw that when I was there. Tore down the old Lehmans building. They need to tear down the old Marsh too. Otherwise Huntington is still Huntington...bleh! Pizza Junction was as good as ever though!!!!!

Z-place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HoosierCoop 3,901]

Wasn't E. Anderson the big gun that they were scouting in that movie?

[Naturalhoosier 15,407]

Z-place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It ain't got nothing on Pizza Junction! :)

Glad to see someone bought the drive-in.  That place is always classic in the summer to watch a mosquito filled, super-hero movie.
