"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"






Welcome one and all to the club for the legendary Rocky "The Italian Stallion" Balboa!

For those of you who have or are seeking the Eye of the Tiger, or if you feel inspired by Rocky's story, or you are particularly moved by the achievements of the master of heart, this place is for you.

If you love the blunt honesty that Rocky has, or the gravely advice/insults from mighty Micky this place is for you. If you enjoy seeing Rocky beat the tar out of Apollo Creed, Clubber Lang (Mr. T.), Ivan Drago, Tommy Gunn, and Mason Dixon this place is definitely for you.

If you've cried for the death of Mickey, Apollo Creed, Adrian, or for the cause of the fight, this place is for you.

Here is the place where we as a club are proud to say that we are fans of Rocky and are willing to stand toe to toe and go the distance. It is best said by the big man himself...

"Who am I kiddin'? I ain't even in the guy's league...It don't matter, 'cause I was nobody before...I was nobody. That don't matter either, ya know...It really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed. And if I can go that distance, ya see, and that bell rings, ya know, and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, ya see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood."

"During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me, and in the way I feel about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than twenty million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!"

Trivia of the week:

The computer simulation fight in Rocky Balboa was based on one which took place in 1969 which pitted Muhammad Ali against Rocky Marciano. Every possible scenario was considered and filmed and the computer decided that Marciano would win in the 13th round. When told of the result, Ali retorted "that computer was made in Alabama".


Quote of the week:
Mason 'The Line' Dixon: [before the final round] You one crazy old man.
Rocky Balboa: You'll get there.
Question of the week:
Who do you relate to most in the movies?
