The story begins with Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler) being bullied by the University of Louisiana’s college football team for eighteen years. He is finally fired from the group by the mean coach. Bobby Boucher asks the Coach Klein of Louisiana State University Mud Dogs to hire him.
The Mud Dog earns a trip to the annual Bourbon Bowl on New Year’s Day to play against the Cougars and Coach Beaulieu. The cougars spoil the Mud Dogs pep rally and reveal that Bobby never finished high school as he was homeschooled and had submitted fake transcripts to the Board.
