Book Reviews of The Marshall Story: College Football's Greatest Comeback
Book Review: A great book, with real information
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though I was a student at Marshall U. from 1967 to 1971, an advid supporter of M.U. sports, and even tried to play a little football there in 1967, I was really surprised to learn what exactly went on at Marshall in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The recent movie WE ARE MARSALL, did not touch on some of the real problems MU was having in its football program along with its other sports. This book explains why the faculty and others wanted to drop the MU football, not the the story-line as presented in the "Hollywood-version" "true story" movie. I was their in that time frame, and I did not remember some of the details as displayed in the movie, but when I read this book all those rumors I really heard in 1969, 1970, & 1971(that I had forgotten about over time), came back to me, and finally made sense.
This book is great and I wish it had come out before the movie. This books presented a better story-line, as it dealt with the truth, and if filmmakers were so inclined, this story would have probably made a better movie.
