We Are Marshall (2006) Soundboard Edit

A huge gain for the Herd!

Actually, I'm confident that I'm better off not knowing what one is, I think.

All right, now, my wife is out shopping, so I had to clean him up

All right. All right, tighten up, D, tighten up.

All right. I'm getting in. Hold on. All right, good.

All right. Yeah.

All your scholarships will still be honored.

And just like that, Xavier takes the lead, 6 3.

And next to the steel mill, there is a school.

Annie, honey, come here.

Any idea's a good idea. No right or wrong in here today, men, let's talk it out.

Are we gonna be all right, coach?

Be a weekly reminder of what we've lost.

Been quieter than I would've guessed this morning.

But the shadows remained.

But yet, football remained.

Call it in, Red!

Call it in!

Chris Griffen with a reception. That is a first down.

Coach Mickey Jackson.

Coach Riley.

Colors clash a bit, don't they?

Come on, Annie!

Come on, keep going, come on.

Come on, Stretch. Gonna be a rough year if that's the best you can do.

Come on!

Congratulations to you too.

Dawson! Dawson!

Deal.

Does nobody eat in this town anymore?

Don't look half bad left or right, Ernie. Did you see that?

Earn your stripes.

East Carolina?

Excuse me, sir? Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you like this...

Fellas...

Find every person y'all met in freshman orientation...

Get him! Run!

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go!

Have you mentioned this to any of the other board members?

He breaks free.

He eventually returned to Marshall as an assistant coach...

He runs to the inside, and who's on the outsider wing?

He sure does. Just one man to beat.

He was a hell of a running back. I bet you were real proud.

He's now in the Hall of Fame.

He's open! Throw!

He's well qualified, he'll find a place.

Hey, honey?

Hey, Randy!

Hey, watch the hose!

Hey, where's the flag? Where's the flag? Flag on

Hey. What's up, man?

How big a crowd do you think you'll get?

I am honored to be the new head football coach here at Marshall University.

I did.

I do. I've seen it. You have shown it to me.

I don't know.

I don't mean to interrupt, sir, but I think there's something y'all need to hear.

I don't think your customers will mind.

I don't. I don't regret it.

I got it. Locked. Kid I went to grade school with.

I just need honest

I know coaches from quite a few schools have already come to talk...

I left your ticket on the kitchen counter.

I like it, George! Can you get me one of those?

I love you, Chris Griffen

I mean, remember freshman two a days?

I need you on this one, Reggie.

I need you, man.

I should have been with them!

I think that's a demotion, Jack.

I thought about how much they mean to me...

I understand your position, son.

I'm coming!

I'm done.

I'm Gene Morehouse saying good night, and go Herd!

I'm gonna get you some silverware.

I'm gonna take a shot at Gibbs.

I've never been.

If they wanna get another play off, the Herd had better hurry.

If you gonna be Marshall, you gonna be Marshall right now.

If you have anything to say, we'll set up a time for you to come by my office.

In the middle of Huntington, West Virginia, there is a river.

In the middle of this school, there is a fountain.

Is this about the football program, Paul?

It doesn't make sense to rush right back into it, you know?

It's a new day, men.

It's designed for teams that don't have a strong offensive line.

It's dislocated.

It's okay. I'll get the popcorn.

It's ready to take the field? It's ready for hits?

It's the right thing to do, sir.

Jack Lengyel resigned as head coach in 1974 with a record of 9 and 33.

Jack! Jack!

Let me see those things.

Let's go!

Lloyd? Usual for me tonight, just more of it. I'm starving.

Look, under the best of circumstances, it takes years to build a team...

Marshall has time for one last ditch effort...

Marshall Thundering Herd all freshmen team, led by quarterback John Cady...

Marshall wins in a barnburner, folks!

May I speak with you for a moment, please?

Mickey Jackson!

Mouth closed, Peter. Thank you.

Move! That's it!

My wife tells me you've got the best apple pie in Huntington.

Nice flag route by Bill James.

Nice meeting you.

Nice speed, Booth! Nice speed!

Nineteen, set, hut!

No

No, stay back. Stay up there! No!

No? Shit.

Not before our first home game.

Now, I want the two of you to go with Randy..

Now, we need options here. Let's look around, keep our eyes open.

Okay. And I know damn well that she didn't say yes in a letter.

Oliver holds the ball, rolls out, and is sacked.

Oliver! Oliver! Strong right!

Paul.

Pick it up.

Pick what up? Pick my jersey up?

Please, just a few more seconds? Dad's not off yet.

Please.

Really?

Ruffin with a giant hit

Set, hut!

Set, hut!

She got home. I told her what happened. She says, "I can't believe it."

Slow down, Reggie. Just listen.

Son, we do not have a team. We do not have a staff.

Soon as the wife gets things settled at the house...

Strong finish. That's a good looking board

Strong side! He's open!

Sure. We don't play y'all this year, so, what the heck? Have at it.

Thank you. Thank you, Don.

That first year I went out and I got us 20 kids.

That was my team.

That's gonna be costly as the clock keeps tick

That's right, Reggie. You carry the two and you divide by the sum...

That's the crap I missed first time around with my boys.

The same one that went off the tracks near Akron last winter?

The Veer. That's interesting. Talk that out, Red.

These kids do have plenty of heart, but just not enough skill or experience...

They would only win one more game in 1971.

They're bigger, faster, stronger, more experienced...

They're looking for a play from the sideline, and they are almost out of time.

This is about the loss of your son. And I'm sorry.

Those were not welcome days.

Thought you might like some dessert.

Tom.

Twelve. West Virginia.

Twenty two!

Usually true.

Wait, there he is, right there

We are Marshall!

We are Marshall!

We are Marshall!

We are Marshall!

We are Marshall!

We are Marshall!

We are Marshall.

We drove in from Wooster last night. Arrived at our new home here.

We gotta shake it up here. We gotta start blitzing our linebacker.

We need legs, hands and a decent arm. Right there

We want to play football, and we cannot do it without your help.

We're trying to run a Veer. We're trying to get ready for Xavier.

We've got a scoreless game, and Xavier has great field position...

We've got a team meeting tomorrow morning, Red.

Well, listen, if you're able to figure it out..

Well, thank you very much for...

Well, the thing is...

Well, unfortunately, board of governors' meetings are and always have been...

Went to 20 homes. Sat in 20 living rooms.

West Virginia?

What are you doing in Kansas City, Don?

What happened? Is it broken?

What is the simplest offense...

What matters is that we play the game.

What would you say to the family members in the community...

What?

What's this concert you're missing?

When they first roomed us together freshman year, I wasn't too sure about you.

Where in the world is Wooster?

Why you so scared to introduce me to your girlfriend, then?

Why?

Yeah!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yep. That's the one.

Yes, I am. 25 years in May

Yes, it is.

Yes, sir, I am, coach!

Yes, sir.

Yes, thank you.

You can't do that, coach. I gotta cover 19.

You can't stay for me and you can't stay for your job.

You gonna tell him about California, right?

You guys take all the time you need.

You hungry, Red? I'm gonna watch some film

You know, if you have a problem with anything that happens on the field...

You should go.

You've got a great setup here. You have no ties to Marshall.

Yup.

...coming back, so... Yeah, I heard. I heard about that.

...time is running out for the boys in green. Time out. Time out.

All right, bye. Night, Red.

And this must be? Coach Jack Lengyel.

Can we have some silverware? Sure.

Coach Dawson, from the football club. Bobby Jordan.

Do you believe? Yes, sir!

Ever play any football? None at all? No, sir

Furnace ready for the tap? Yeah.

Get it off! Snap it.

Got it. All right, you have a good night, now.

Great call. All right?

Hey, get behind the ropes! Just tell us the name of the airline!

Hey, you going to the airport? Yeah, get in.

I'll be there. I know you will.

It's not an outrageous question, I think. What's he gonna do?

Jake. Red Dawson. Yes, sir?

My pleasure, not a problem. All right.

My shoulder's fine. Yes or no?

Nice hit. Nice ball. Nate, you all right?

No, Jack. I know... Yes. Doc?

Post? Post.

Right side! Make the hit!

Some guys have all the luck. Sorry?

Son, don't put that in your pant Sandy! I got it. Peter.

Split six, cover one. Ready? Break! Break!

The what? Newspaper.

We are Marshall!

We are? Marshall!

We got two more quarters of football. You've done enough, Nate.

West Virginia runs the Veer? Yeah.

Where is he? I don't know.

Yeah, baby, let's go! Come on, let's go!

...and it's just a tragedy that is beyond all comprehension.

...and now lives in Ohio.

...before you asked me to drive 200 miles out here to see you.

...but they'll have to march all the way downfield into the end zone.

...but they're in a race against the clock with only 25 seconds till halftime.

...Coach Red Dawson's got the winning play coming in, all right?

...door's always open. It was a pleasure meeting you, Red.

...fiancés.

...he's gonna have to fire you

...Jack Lengyel.

...please welcome the new head coach of our Thundering Herd...

...six sons of Marshall

...six teammates..

...six young men...

...that no other school in the country can.

...the 20...

...where he still remains today.

...which reminds her of the crash, which reminds her of my dead son!

...without thoughts of them.

...won't make that target on Coach Tolley's back a little bit bigger.

...you keep it.
