I liked it, but when I was in college, Marshall was our most hated rival, so I doubt I'll see it more than the one time I saw it over the weekend.

I didn't know Marshall was anyone's most hated rival, and I'm a big MU fan.
 
I liked the movie, but I didn't really like McConaughey's performance. He just seemed he was trying to be funny in a serious film and it didn't play out well.
 
Quote from Mrs. Cortez last night: "Gee, for a guy flick this sure is a tear-jerker.''

Is it me, or did it seem that the Herd didn't have enough players to form a 'real' squad. It looked like about 30 guys made up the team
Oh, and Matthew Fox sure does well for himself as far as leading ladies

See, that's part of my point, Marshall fans think they're loved by all.

I think MM was talking out of one side of his mouth to be in character. It looked like the other half was completely numbed up, almost like a Bells Palsey thing.

That's not it at all. I just didn't think anyone cared about Marshall enough to call them their most hated rival. And where do you get that MU is loved by all? Indifferent by all would be my guess.

I was at App State in the 1990s. The two schools had a great rivalry for a while before Marshall left the Southern Conference.

Unless that was in character. Not knowing Lengyel, I can't say.
 
We watched "Invincible" over the Christmas break (surprisingly at my daughter's request) and the entire family thoroughly enjoyed it. Strike that, the younger daughter did not. The older desire did not want to watch "We Are Marshall" though.

I thought it was yet another cheap, paint by the numbers inspirational sports movie by Disney.

Warner Brothers is owned by Disney now?

Glad you got to see Shockey. I thought it was a great movie. I was not prepared for the ending. Room got dusty real fast.

Oh yeah, I was at many MU-Appy State games when they came to Huntington. I just didn't remember that Appy State considered MU their top rival. Michigan on the other hand... well, actually, I guess both teams have to win before it's a rivalry, right? BURN!

Oh, I agree 100 percent:

Of course, ASU does lead the all-time series 14-8. ;D
 
Why is there a marching band playing music for the Marshall team at the airport when it arrives by bus after the East Carolina game in 1970? Marshall lost, right? I haven't been to a lot of airports and private airstrips when the losing team flies home, but the few times I have been, the band's never been there playing fight songs.
 
I didn't think it would be very good but I really liked it. Watched it twice on HBO the past couple days.
 
I'm watching it again now. The guy who played Nate Ruffin - the one with the injured shoulder - did an incredible job. Never seen him before.
 
I saw it for the first time on HBO as well. Absolute dreck. I couldn't get over how bad it was.
 
Sounds like it could've benefitted from McShane dropping a certain 10-letter expletive.

I thought the same thing watching the movie. It was a very good movie, but I kept expecting him to drop a few choice words.
