Just watched Blue Chips

[GooseMutt]

With Nolte as a coach. Seems so typical and obvious things like this go on all the time.

Am I naive?

perhaps.

But I commend Boeheim for achieving what he has without being dirty.

Apparently, very naive. Don't pull on that thread.

 

[Marty McFly]

what do we give these kids, Happy, houses? tractors? we gave a kid a tractor? bags of cash? whatever they want we give 'em... There's Happy running to the ATM, he's getting the best recruits money can buy!

Love that movie!

How JB did not win an Oscar for his appearance in that film is beyond me

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Kevin Bacon was in A Few Good Men with JT Walsh.
JT Walsh was in Blue Chips with James Arthur Boeheim.

I have been saying that for years. A worse screw job than the taking of his wins. The guy has
leading man written all over him.

Jt Walsh was such a good actor.

 

[Orangefan1]

It was a great movie

 

[samspann1]

One thing I never understood were the big recruits in the movie.

Shaq? You bet.
Penny? Sure.
Matt Nover? Huh? Dude had the charisma of a stale cardboard box.

See what a tractor and gym bag full of cash gets you.

They needed a white dude.

We’ve been on probation twice.

Bobby Hurley playing for Indiana was always weird for me.
I get UCLA not wanting the attachment as Western but the Sam Gilbert-John Wooden connections are why they didn’t want that.
But Western is supposed to be UCLA.

Nobody would buy him as a farm boy.

He did grow up in Angola.

I got one even closer: Kevin Bacon was in Tremors. I watched Tremors. Boom!

 

[Eric15]

Bob Cousy = the only adult in the movie who wasn't shady.

And I remember being so confused by Al Bundy as a reporter when I saw this movie at age 12.

 

[richmondcuse03]

In real life, Penny has turned out to be just as shady as his character going to college was!
