Fictional, not true stories, sorry Coach Carter...

10 Best Fictional Sports Characters Of All Time
DOGO Movies

1. Rocky Balboa, Rocky I – V and Rocky Balboa, Sylvester Stallone

Enough said.

2. Ricky Bobby, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Will Ferrell

You can’t have a sports movie list without Ricky Bobby. I might be one of the few people that will read this article that’s actually a NASCAR fan, but could you imagine the following NASCAR would have if Ricky Bobby was real? Yeah he’s absurd, but all he does is drive fast, turn left, and win races. He does also give some of the best Powerade sponsored prayers I have ever heard.

3. Bobby Boucher, Waterboy, Adam Sandler

“Now, that’s what I call high quality H20”. Hands down the best water boy of all time. Definitely, would have been in the running for the Pro Bowl at water boy.

4. Happy Gilmore, Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler

Back to back Adam Sandler characters, you had to see it coming. He plays too many great ones to not include more than one. Watching professional golf on Sundays might take over the NFL (probably still not enough) if you had Happy out there running the show on Sundays. From a late Sunday charge to jumping in the pond after his ball.

5. Thad Castle, Blue Mountain State, Alan Ritchson

Hands down the dumbest person on this list. You can’t get stupid from beer and girls right? Must be because he has had about twenty too many concussions. (Thanks NFL).

6. Rick “Wild Thing” Vaughn, Major League I and II, Charlie Sheen

“Wild Thing, you make my heart sing? You make everything groovy.” Cleveland actually made it to a World Series… And yes I am talking about real life and not just in the Major League movies. Due to this, Cleveland fans are calling for Charlie Sheen to bring back his leather motorcycle jacket, his millennial looking hipster glasses, and his wild arm to throw out the first pitch for Game One of the World Series. Thankfully Major League Baseball is on their “Make Baseball Boring” Campaign and won’t allow this to happen. What a shame.


7. Benjamin Franklin “Benny the Jet” Rodriguez, Sandlot, Mike Vitar

Growing up as a kid playing baseball you looked up to Benny the Jet. Over the years there have been some amazingly fast players, but could you imagine a guy consistently stealing home? Week after week?

8. Otto Rocket, Rocket Power, Joseph Ashton

Really, you could list any one of the characters from Rocket Power here, well except Squid. (Sorry Squid). They would have fed right into the X-Games craze of the 2000’s. Also, I heard they are the early favorite for the 2020 Olympic Surfing Competition.

9. Air Bud, Air Bud Series, Golden Retriever

Wouldn’t be cool to see a superstar dog in real life? I mean he can play basketball, baseball, football, and about twenty other sports. I am not really sure, it seemed like there were fifty Air Bud movies. I am still waiting for them to release an Air Bud cricket movie though.

10. Coach Taylor, Friday Night Lights, Kyle Chandler

Saved the best for last, a.k.a. the best coach of all time. Plus you would get to watch Matt Saracen, Brian “Smash” Williams, and the always drunk Tim Riggins play. Texas forever.


Honorable Mentions

Paul Crewe,The Longest Yard, Adam Sandler or Burt Reynolds

Tim Riggins,Friday Night Lights, Taylor Kitsch

Calvin Cambridge,Like Mike, Bow Wow

Coach Tony D’Amato, Any Given Sunday, Al Pacino

Angels Superfan J.P., Angels and the Outfield, Milton Davis Jr.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
