He did make a movie about LSU and Billy Cannon


The movie had nothing to do with Billy Cannon, it was total fiction. Dennis Quaid played "The Grey Ghost".

Though it didn’t help that he wore the same number as Cannon...

Over 20 years ago.

Buddy of mine who is a sports agent introduced Goodman to his wife.. he also inked the deal for him to do College Ganeday a couple months back, and in fact made the picks for Goodman, since Goodman didnt give a shite about them.. now he’s the ‘leader’ among all the celebrity pickers, which is hilarious.

Believe me or not, i dont care.. just sharing what i know to be true.

The story is set in North Carolina (UNC) in the book that the movie is based on. Gavin Grey is a fictional character.

True. Last name is Hartzog.

I was at the game where they filmed the movie scene at halftime. They ran the same play (a long touchdown run) over and over. The crowd cheered every time like it was really LSU scoring. I think that Jeff Wickersham played quarterback in the scene. LSU had also switched to the pro style single post goal post at that time. The movie company put something in front of the single post and attached 2 fake posts to make it look like the old H style goal post for the scene.

That’s all I got.

I got cast as Dennis Quaid son in that movie and then after a couple weeks I met Taylor hackford and he decided I was too tall and they wanted Dennis Quaid son to be shorter than him. I was pretty crushed

Partially correck. But it wasn't 80,000. Just a few hunny for the close shots. Made enough cash for pizza and beer...
