    It came out back in October in theatres, and I assumed it was out on DVD already. Basically, I went in excited, but expecting it to be the result of another Disney raid on an inspirational sports story, usually ending with the movie sucking and me being disappointed. I actually really enjoyed the movie, and while it wasn't a "Great" movie, it was very very enjoyable, and it was well made. I'd recommend it, but you should probably make sure you know the gist of the story first so that you can focus on the movie itself.

    The one thing I'll warn you is that there were complaints that the WVU fans were allegedly portrayed as worse than they were. The movie does have some factual errors, but for what it is, it was well made. Try not to be too picky, and you'll enjoy it.

    Also aware of that. They interviewed former players from WVU from that time when The Express opened.

    Gotcha. Yeah, I'd give the movie a shot, I know I certainly enjoyed it, even taking out the Syracuse fact. Although it was pretty cool seeing our campus on the big screen....

    I actually haven't seen this yet for some reason. Want to though.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.
