It’s one of the greatest lingering mysteries in the history of cinema.
No, it’s not whether the top fell at the end of Inception, whether Han or Greedo shot first, or what the monolith was. It’s whether “Rudy” Ruettiger was offsides before his climactic sack against Georgia Tech.
Rudy’s famous play has been minced like the Zapruder Film since Rudy was released 22 years ago and has become a running gag among haters. Shirts by “Rudy truthers” have been made and sold, and opposing schools like Penn State won’t miss an opportunity to troll the Irish over their folk hero.
