Everybody’s All American...Any of you baws in school when they were filming??

I was at the game when they filmed. We sat right behind the section where the crowd was during the filming

My great uncle was working for the university at the time. He watched theM film the scene where John Goodman chugged the beer.

Multiple former Tiger baseball players were extras in that movie. Mike Papajohn began his long career in movies as an extra during filming.

That movie is not that good, but, it's about LSU, so, I like the movie.

I've always wished that it was a better film.

Despite the fact that the novel was written about the University of North Carolina (which refused to allow filming because the story defamed campus legend Charlie "Choo Choo" Justice), when it was filmed at LSU, rumors started that Gavin Grey was based on the former LSU All-American Billy Cannon. He won the Heisman Trophy in 1959 and played eleven seasons for three professional teams, but served two and a half years in federal prison in the mid-1980s for his role in a counterfeiting ring. Deford himself denies this, saying: "Never met Cannon and knew nothing about him personally," he says. "Gavin was strictly a composite of many athletes from several sports that I had covered."

Where is the Billy Cannon biopic?

My sister was the Production Assistant for Timothy Hutton and her friend was the same for Dennis Quaid. He (Quaid) took my sister’s friend out a few times and flew her out to Los Angeles once or twice. And yes, her friend (no pics) was/is a smoke show and still lives in BR. She’s half American and half Phillipino. Very sweet girl and I assure you she was not the one stated above who allegedly blew him at The Chimes.

Anyone else ever hear the story that some chick blew Dennis Quaid at the Chimes?

Murphy's.

Was it a Bama game? Maybe ‘86? First Bama game I attended at Death Valley. I was a Freshman in high school. I swear they filmed this movie during half time.

LSU'89 so yes.
