Interesting
I found this on wikipedia after I searched 'We are Marshall' the movie and thought it was interesting.
On December 19, 2001 Marshall played East Carolina in the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. The ECU Pirates had a commanding 38-8 lead at halftime. Marshall Coach Bob Pruett reminded the Thundering Herd of the plane crash. In what was viewed as one of college football's greatest come-from-behind victories, Marshall defeated East Carolina 64-61 in double overtime. It remains the highest-scoring bowl game in college football history.
I'm going to the GMAC bowl this Sunday... Alex went to that GMAC bowl years ago but he didn't think anything of it until he saw the movie about Marshall.
