So they said, but did u watch the movie? Tiger Stadium, the 1950s, Heisman trophy winner. They probably just didn’t want to pay Billy Cannon for his story.

The book was NC state I believe. They filmed it in Baton Rouge and changed it to be lsu. It’s been along time since I read the book.

Right. It was about a mythical "Louisiana University", just like Pitch Perfect was set in a mythical "Barden University" (although I did see a Keens store sign in the movie LOL).
