No....this si not a Charlie Weis discussion....or a discussion about ND being ranked #2 in the pre-season polls, or about their QB being ranked #1 is the Heisman pre-season. This is about a real-life, cool story.

I have 7 brothers and sisters. Four of us went to ND including myself. My youngest brother was fortunate to play on the FB team under Ty Willingham. He was an exceptional player in HS and after going for a year at University of Chicago, transferred to ND his sophmore year. At the end of that year, he wen tout for the football team and was a walk-on wide receiver his junior and senior years. He is a sort-of "Rudy" story and, while he hates it, we call him Rudy.

Anyway, my brother Jason is a producer in Hollywood and made this neat, little vid about my bro. Check it out. It is a mesh of the Rudy movie and actual footage of my brother. The vid is a bit mis-leading at one point. The shots of him playing were during his Junior year, not Senior year. He lettered both years.

That was a great video, what year did Nate graduate? My brothers graduated from Wheaton North in 00' i graduated in 04. I definately recognize the name Shomas, but i dont know if i rememebr Nate.

Anyway that video was great love rudy and its got me readyt for the football season

 

Nate would have graduated from ND in 2003 I think. That would have put him out of WNHS in 1999. But, I could have been off by a year. It is either 1999 or 2000 from WNHS.

Someone you know, has got to know Nate - LOL
