Wrong glass, Sir.
I was never aware that this piece of magnificence even existed. TCM is showing movies about college football on Friday nights, and I found this on the TCM channel on my Roku just now. It's set in 1975 and is about a retired guy who goes back to Ohio State (had to leave after his junior year to fight in the deuce) to walk on the football team as a kicker. It was filmed on campus, and there's some great shots of mid 70s Ohio State. I got about 15 minutes in and will finish it tomorrow. It's definitely not Scorsese/Deniro level film making and acting. Hell, I'm not sure that it's exactly 70s drive-in level film making and acting, but it's a great little, unknown piece of Ohio State history. In the intro, Ben Mankiewicz even refers to THE Ohio State University. Anyways, it's on the TCM app until September 28th for anyone interested.

Any chance it has Giovanni Strassini in it? I think that could prove a point.

Thanks for this. I'm watching it now, they apparently filmed part of it during the 1974 season, so I'm probably a microscopic dot in some crowd shots of the stadium.

It's good to recall that 10-9 last-second victory over Northwestern on the 70-yard field goal by the 56-year-old kicker.
Of course, I was in the end zone that day, and knew it was good as soon as he kicked it! :sneaky:

Heavily favored Northwestern!

I finally watched it. It really is a terrible movie for anyone but Ohio State people. A little googling told me that the guy was an alum and minor Hollywood player who went ahead with the movie despite a major studio pulling out and ended up losing a bunch of money on it.
