Student/Athlete Audience Reviews

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Michael_Elliott 30 for 30 Shorts: Student/Athlete (2015) Another winning 30 for 30 film from ESPN takes a look at Notre Dame folk hero Reggie Ho who ended up helping the Irish with a National Championship in 1988 but perhaps the greatest thing Ho did was continuously study after games, which led him to become one of the greatest doctors in the country. This short features interviews with co-workers, co-teammates, Lou Holtz and Ho himself as they talk about his career at Notre Dame and what was to follow. Overall this is certainly a fun short as you get to see this extremely small guy work on his skills as a kicker and then eventually make the team. Hearing of how he practiced was quite funny as are Holtz' comments on why he let the kid on the team. This certainly isn't the greatest episode in the series but it at least shines a spotlight on someone who is still certainly remembered in Notre Dame even though he went onto do much bigger things.Episode: B+
