On the 40th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice, I found myself watching the movie today. It was highly inspirational and a great story on the power of human perserverance and the overcoming of long odds to reach the pinnacle of the sport. I think of other movies like Rudy who tackled the same subject.
It made me start thinking of Buckeye stories like this, and if there were a sports movie about a Buckeye, what event/who would it be about?
My first thought is Cardale Jones. His story from kid in Cleveland, to arriving at Ohio State and being 3rd on the depth chart and the unfortunate tweet, to rising above all and winning the national championship.
What else comes to mind?
