Key Takeaway
Vince Vaughn, the celebrity guest on ESPN’s “College Game Day”, made iconic cinematic references during his appearance, including nods to the classic sports film “Rudy” and his popular movie “Wedding Crashers”.
The acclaimed actor was the celebrity guest on Saturday’s episode of ESPN’s “College Game Day”, which was being broadcasted from the campus of Notre Dame, where the university was preparing to face off against Ohio State.
Vaughn took to the stage, wearing a Notre Dame jacket, as he sat alongside Pat McAfee, Lee Corso, Desmond Howard, and the rest of the crew. The reason behind his choice of attire? It was a nod to the classic sports film, “Rudy”.
Back in 1993, Vaughn starred in the beloved sports movie alongside Sean Astin and Jon Favreau. He played the role of college football player Jamie O’Hara, and he made sure to remind everyone of that during his live television appearance, as he picked Notre Dame to win against the Buckeyes.
Here’s how Vaughn put it: “The Buckeyes are for real, always. You can never doubt them. That being said, I played for Notre Dame. I threw a pass. If I had half of Rudy’s heart, I would’ve been an All-American instead of picking games here with you guys.”
Not stopping there, Vaughn continued to drop quotes from his popular films, mentioning another one of his favorites, “Wedding Crashers”. While not directly related to sports, it certainly captures the mindset of a champion.
There’s no denying that Vince Vaughn’s appearance on “College Game Day” brought a unique and entertaining twist to the show. Fans undoubtedly appreciated his clever references and love for cinema.
