I'm excited because this is the closest I'm probably going to get to seeing Notre Dame play football this year.

I take it that no actual Notre Dame players are in this film ?
 
Notre Dame University got a court injunction to delay the release of this movie, claiming Twentieth Century Fox had "knowingly and illegally misappropriated, diluted, and commercially exploited for their private profit the names, symbols, football team, prestige, high reputation, and goodwill" of the university. After three months of court battles, the studio won out.
