I don't think that Joel S. understands that this was a time in which the school wasn't expected to win any games. They won 2. Not bad for a team that had gone through all of what happened. Also, a decade and a half later, and Marshall was playing for a NCAA I-AA Championship. Then, later, they won a championship. Became the most successful program of the 1990s. Moved to the I-A and still dominated the conference and some people we weren't (like #5 Kansas State). 2 Heisman Candidates and multiple NFL players. I think you missed the point.

If you have not seen the true story- We Are Marshall... you have to see it. Especially if you are a football fan. I LOVED THIS MOVIE! I just got done watching it and it was sad and happy. The strange thing is that I watched it exactly thirty-seven years after the tragedy happened, November 14, 1970. My Uncle attended Marshall and most of the movie is done on campus and around the town. He actually got to go to an advanced screening of the movie. I give it two thumbs up! Watch the credits at the end, it shows actual photos and footage of the team. Matthew McConaughey was awesome! That is my review and I hope you like it! Joanne

Hated being reminded of such an awful event, but the way the film built the spirit of the team from the awful crash forward was very well done

My family liked this movie. It didn't live up to the hype it got, but it was good.

The story is good, the movie not so much. It is long and slow at times.

People don't sound like Texans in West Virginia! Nice job on making Huntington look like a big city and YOU ALL (ya'll) have a nass day.

O.K. looks like we have some easily entrigued people in here. the strory focuses on the plane crash wiped out a football team in an instant. then a new scab team is formed, they become the team with the worst record for miles and it never improved. wow! so whats the big inspirational climax? I don't get it
