In before OMG Offseason Thread
I'm drawing a blank for a lot. Help me complete this list. I will update

Criteria: The film must include verbal references to the school or portray it. (A poster or article of clothing without verbal reference is not sufficient). The reference will be in parentheses. Specialized documentaries such a Nick Saban: Gamechanger or Ole War Skule: The Story of Saturday Night will not be included. Movies filmed at a school but not referencing it will be placed in a separate category at the bottom.

Alabama
Forrest Gump (obvious)
Crimson Tide (aside from the title, there are numerous references to Bama in the movie)
The Bear (Gary Busey stars as Bear Bryant in biopic. IRL Bear's family hates the movie so much that they buy out the rights and destroy it before it goes to video)
Ocean's 11 [original] ( LINK)
Johnny Be Good (football player is recruited by Alabama)

Arkansas
The Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek Part II (obscure horror movie portrays the University of Arkansas, including the football team)
The 6th Man (ghost slaps Arkansas basketball team)
The Blind Side (former Arkansas coach Houton Nutt recruits Oher)
He Got Game (main character is recruited by former Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson)

Auburn
Big Fish (McGregor's character's wife attends Auburn and the university is portrayed in the movie)
A Love Song For Bobby Long (title character is an Auburn professor)

The Blind Side (former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville watches scout video of Oher in his office at Auburn)

Florida
House of Wax (they drive to BR for the LSU/Florida game)

Georgia
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (features Uga, Georgia's mascot)
The Dukes of Hazzard (the Governor of Georgia yells, "Go Dawgs!")
Facing The Giants (UGA coach Mark Richt plays a role)

The 6th Man

Everybody's All-American (Quaid plays an LSU football star)
The Reaping (Swank is an LSU professor)
The Pistol: The Birth of a Legend (obvious)
The Blind Side (former LSU coach Nick Saban recruits Oher)
House of Wax (they drive to BR for the LSU/Florida game)

Mississippi State
The Program (fictional ESU plays Mississippi State)

Missouri
Box Elder (about friends at Mizzou)

Ole Miss
The Ladykillers [remake] (Hanks's character is an Ole Miss professor)
The Blind Side (obvious)
A Time to Kill (an Ole Miss law student is employed to help the case)
Star Trek (Dr. McCoy is an Ole Miss graduate)
The Help (main character is an Ole Miss graduate)
The Heartbreak Kid (character is a lacrosse coach at Ole Miss)
Smokey and The Bandit (Reynolds' character makes references to "meeting at Ole Miss")
Mississippi Burning (Dafoe's character mentions being at Ole Miss)

South Carolina
Borat (gets picked up by USCe fratboys)
The Blind Side (former USCe coach Lou Holtz recruits Oher)
The Lords of Discipline (they visit a former teammate at USCe)
The Prince of Tides (Nolte's character played football at USCe)

Tennessee
Road Trip (they go to an all-black fraternity at UT)
The Blind SIde (former UT coach Phil Fulmer recruits Oher)
W.W. and the Dixie Dancekings (Burt Reynolds movie, many references to UT)

The Best Little Whorehoue in Texas (Aggie football team pays the whorehouse a visit)
They Call Me Sirr (about Texas A&M RB Sirr Parker)
We've Never Been Licked (WWII propaganda filmed and set at Texas A&M)

Intolerable Cruelty (Thornton's character played TE at A&M)
Back To The Future Part II (Biff listens to score of A&M game on radio)


Vanderbilt
Something the Lord Made (set at Vandy, Rickman's character is a researcher)

A Time to Kill had some Ole Miss references.

USC in Borat.

There was a film made a few years ago called War Eagle, Arkansas that had quite a few hog shirts and memorabilia in it.

Why was "Any Given Sunday" related to LSU? Is it a joke or did I miss something in the movie?
