distorted the facts

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2004)

i am disappointed that they twisted one of the most important facts of the movie, that in 1988 Marshall beat Permian in Marshall. We did not get beat by them. also they did not get the playoff teams right. they should have stuck to the real events, that is why i rate it no better than varsity blues or all the right moves. the book was more to the facts. the movie was a typical whitewash of a true story. Hollywood never will learn to make a movie true to the facts. what i don't understand is the author let them change things around. it was a highlight of marshall to beat the panthers, because we were so much smaller than them. we deserved our little bit of history in the movie.
