We Are Marshall Page #4

program, l said we are going to suspend it.

Look, under the best of circumstances,

it takes years to build a team...

...and, well, these are not

the best of circumstances.

The NCAA will not let freshmen play...

...and they are the only players

we have besides you.

When we do bring the program back, we

want to make sure we're able to do it right.

lf. That's what you mean, right?

lf they bring the program back?

This ain't right, Dr. Dedmon.

lt ain't fair!

l understand your position, son.

l will personally pass on your concerns to

the board before they make their decision.

Why can't l pass on

my concerns myself?

Well, unfortunately, board of governors'

meetings are and always have been...

...closed-door.

Come on!

Everybody up! Let's go. Come on.

Reggie, put down the stick. Come on.

l need y'all to listen.

Now, as of 1 5 minutes ago,

we ain't got football no more.

lf you gonna be Marshall,

you gonna be Marshall right now.

Earn your stripes.

Now, l want the two of you

to go with Randy...

...and get every cheerleader and every girl

you can possibly find...

...and get them here at 5:00. The two

of y'all, l need you to go with George...

...and find every cat in them frat houses

and get them here at 5:00.

Go, now, go!

l need you on this one, Reggie.

l need you, man.

Find every person y'all met

in freshman orientation...

...and l need them here at 5:00.

All right? Come on! Now! Come on!

-Five o'clock!

-Nate.

-Yeah.

-Come here a sec.

Hey, l heard that some

of the guys are wavering.

-Wavering?

-Yeah, they're just kind of....

No, no, no. What you mean? What you

talking about? Who's wavering, Tom?

They don't feel it's the right thing to do

right now, step out on that field.

lt's the only thing to do, Tom.

This about our teammates, man.

Now, l need to know

who you talking about.

No one, man.

Five o'clock. All right?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-You all right?

-Forget it.

l was just having some thoughts.

l'm ready, man. Let's go.

-We gonna get this team back, man.

-Yeah.

Okay, l think we all know

why we're here today.

What l'd like to do first....

Excuse me, young man.

Excuse me, this is a private meeting.

l don't mean to interrupt, sir, but l think

there's something y'all need to hear.

lf you have anything to say, we'll set up

a time for you to come by my office.

Oh, no, sir. l ain't got nothing to say.

But they do.
