We Are Marshall Page #2

Synopsis: In November, 1970, virtually the entire football team and coaches of Marshall University (Huntington, W.V.) die in a plane crash. That spring, led by Nate Ruffin, a player who was ill and missed the fatal flight, students rally to convince the board of governors to play the 1971 season. The college president, Don Dedman, must find a coach, who then must find players. They petition the NCAA to allow freshmen to play, and coach Jack Lengyel motivates and leads young players at the same time that he reexamines the Lombardi creed that winning is the only thing. The father and the fiancée of a player who died find strength to move on. Can Marshall win even one game in 1971?

lt's just my granddaughter's piano recital.

Man, she sure is cute when she does that.

That's the crap l missed

first time around with my boys.

Now they got kids of their own.

Anyway, got a long ride ahead of me.

Have a great flight.

Hutch, tell you what,

l'll do the recruiting trip.

You go home and see your granddaughter's

recital. l'm gonna do it. l'm doing it.

-Thanks, Red. All right.

-l'll see you on Monday morning.

Good man, Red.

You can grab me a beer back home.

Because if he keeps on pulling

and no money comes out....

-Good evening.

-Doris.

lt's Red Dawson, calling from Greenville.

Could l trouble you to look and see

if Carole's home next door?

Sure doesn't look like it, Red.

Could you do me a big favor

and leave her a message for me?

Tell her that l gotta drive to Virginia

tonight on a recruiting trip...

...and I'm not gonna be home

till tomorrow.

-Got it.

-All right, you have a good night, now.

-All right, bye.

-Night, Red.

-You thinking about that girlfriend of yours?

-Yeah, coach.

Nice job, son.

Hey, that was a big hit today. Big hit.

l would've caught that pass

if l had my cross.

What'd you do with it?

You would've caught it if you had good

hands. Ain't that right, Shoebridge?

Hey, Gene, this is gonna sound a little

weird, but l need you to do me a favor.

Want you to scratch my back.

That target on there is starting to itch.

You can't believe everything

you hear on the radio.

Oh, yeah, l can.

All right, boys, let's sit up straight.

Tighten those ties, fix those collars.

-We are?

-Marshall!

Almost home.

This is Captain Dettro speaking.

Looks like we made good time

in spite of the weather...

...so if everyone could return to their

seats now, we'll be landing shortly.

Fill her up for you?

Yes, sir.

These peanuts look good.

l'll get a bunch of them too.

Sure. They're just 50 cents.

Help yourself.

Regular's on the left,

Cajun's on the right.

Incredibly, there has been

another plane crash....

How spicy are these Cajun...?

--in moderate rain and fog

in West Virginia.

What did he just say?

-Wait. Turn that up.

-No, what happened--

What did that say?

Early reports do not indicate

the condition of those aboard.

Excuse me, everybody....

Annette said you look funny

when you're getting dressed.

Bye, Carole.

Say hello to your husband for me.

-This is Lloyd.

-See you, Lloyd!

What's happened?

Hey!

-Hey, you going to the airport?

-Yeah, get in.

All right. l'm getting in. Hold on.

All right, good.

-Hey, did they say anything?

-Hey, come on!

No one's going in there.

l can't let you up there.

-Get that truck up the hill!

-Come on!

Hey, Randy!

Come on, keep going, come on.
