 I thoroughly enjoyed the flick and found it to be very uplifting.

The North Carolina connection, of course, is that Marshall had just played East Carolina and had taken its doomed chartered flight back to Huntington.

For me, one of the best parts of the movie is when Lengyel visist Bobby Bowden at West Virginia asking for advice on how to run the veer offense, even though they are in-state rivals in recruiting players. I've never been a big Bobby Bowden fan, but I developed new respect for Bowden after that scene. I hope it's factual and not just a movie device to touch my emotions.
