That movie has been playing all week on HBO. It's typically one of those films that if it's on I'm watching it.

Not this week.

Believe it or not, that opponent Matthew McConaughey mentions being, bigger, faster, and stronger was Xavier. As fate would have it, Marshall won as time expired on the last play of the game. I'm not making this up. This was the first home game after the plane crash killed the team. " Miraculously, Marshall won two games that season, (the first one coming on a 15-13 win over Xavier on the last play of the game. )
