We Are Marshall - Pre-Game Speech

[MasterYoshi2008]

this is your opportunity to rise from the ashes and grab glory!

[robinsondernard]

69 others... Sorry yes very emotional.

[mattattack1able]

this is definitely a football video that needs to be played before every game.

[MrShobo66]

some people just will never understand winning isnt everything

[xDESTROYERx101]

@MrShobo66 .....i have a feeling your not in sports or your just not good you will never understand dude

[GIZAROKFIK]

Jack during a flashback or flashforward????

[LetsGetShaytarded]

Matthew Fox! From LOST!

[mandingo51eddie]

24 people never been in a football field!!!

[ChaseTerrier]

@mandingo51eddie I never bee IN a football field...but I been ON a football field.

[dmziegler]

They won this game, change the description.... GO HERD!



[lilCaucasian]

Marshall? pshhhh.... "Its All About The U!!!!!"

[delany61]

@lilCaucasian FUCK YOU get out of here motherfucker!!!!!!!!

[jjjjllllll11]

@broadwayblue74 o ok

[bass0901]

It's a good movie...but McConaughey's performance is probably the weakest part of it. He didn't do the real Jack Lengyel justice.

[vispacall]

Wonderful - synopsis. Thank You.

[broadwayblue74]

@ jjj, I read that the hand motions and the way he talks out of the side of his mouth were traits of the real Jack Lengyel, which McConaugney picked up to add realism to the movie

[jjjjllllll11]

his hand motions got a little repititive but the words were awesome

[SuperBballa9]

2:28 does that guy really play football?

[Alann4stars]

@SuperBballa9 We are marshall

we recieve everybody



[3jdpa]

WE ARE!...

[griffmundo]

I think Denzel Washington as Daniel Boone his speeches are the best

[Macdolphins93]

@griffmundo Herman Boone

[CJLPorter1]

gives me goosebumps every time!

[jMu38zqUiZ]

Best speech ever

[IIXxHBKxXII]

22 people didn't die in plan crash lol

[ELITEGAMINGHALO]

@IIXxHBKxXII not funny dude

[IIXxHBKxXII]

@ELITEGAMINGHALO i know :(

[shoresy594]

@IIXxHBKxXII thats not funny at all.

[IIXxHBKxXII]

@shoresy594 i said i know

[MasterUpdates]

I got chills before the video even started!!! :)

[WVUpengiun]

I may be a WVU fan, but this movie is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen.

[salukistyle]

Other than the speech in Miracle, this is the best speech in a movie. Gives me chills. Not a big McConahay fan, but this to me by far is his best movie. He was made for this role.

[natrtots]

I still think Al Pacino's speech is the best

[csmall1221]

@natrtots idk billy bob thortons perfect speech in friday night lights is my favorite

[natrtots]

@csmall1221 yeah i forgot about that one. that speech is about life too which is really cool. that movie is great.

[csmall1221]

@natrtots yeah i love that movie

[MrTTK22]

@natrtots no way Friday Night Light has the best

[natrtots]

@MrTTK22 yeah i know. best overall movie is friday night lights but i like the speech from any given sunday.

[MrTTK22]

@natrtots inch by inch was a good speech

[jonnyp123454]

@natrtots i was gonna write that =/

[str0ngbacker]

03:45

[loughlin14]

Funeral's end TODAY!

[danglesnipecelly13]

This is great but the Brooks speech is the shit

[hillbillydo]

Marshall did not lose. Marshall beat Xavier 16-13.

[rileyscheffee]

21 people... dont have the heart to win...

[oa457member]

21 PEOPLE ARE MOUNTAINEER FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Helbling21]

@oa457member ..too bad WVU gave them all the footage of there playbook..and marked there helmets with and M and a cross..but good joke

[oa457member]

@Helbling21 I just hater hardcore mountaineers fans. because on an occasion last year some were wearing shirts that said marshall will go down like their plane to me that was really offensive and hurtful to those who were there that day that remembered the tragedy or lost someone in it. Also I'm not writing this as a hate comment or a stfu comment. I'm just saying

[SexyMcFly06]

My most favorite Motivational Speech ever.. To some his is just talking about Football.. But to me he is talking about my LIFE! Use to watch this when I felt like giving up.. when I didn't think I could help my father another day.. when my energy, self esteem, self worth was low.. He said lay your HEART on the line.. and you Can not be Defeated.. and he was right..

You can't appreciate the WIN.. until you have lived through and overcome the DEFEAT!

[xAppleHD]

that "wow" on the end just destroyed the video..

[butlert12]

how the hell do u dislike this !

[clevstatelover]

I play footbqll

[brianwells22]

i come from a school that lost four football players during season in a car wreck...and macchonahays speech here is unreal...FUNERALS END TODAY!

[Tclehman0808]

WOW! INSPIRATIONAL!

[peterbyrne94]

one of the greatest movies ever made

[mathspudgun]

how in the hell do 21 ppl dislike this!?

[danheaders]

Pour tout ceux qui pense qui sont assez bon pour gagne

[stringfellow573]

A person's heart can make the difference in real life as well. "Follow your heart."

[TheHolmesDawgs]

at 2:07 its papa doc from 8 mile! ... but other than that, this is one of the greatest speeches of all time, hands down scripted or not

[ddietr]

Great movie

Incredible people in that community

[sk8trman1296]

Mathew McConahay is one of the most honorable people to do this for our marshall community. That speech that he said well never be forgotten forever. He did this for our community and our lives. MARSHALL ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrDreamcatcher700]

One of the greatest ever made productions for a lifetime , which gave me the opportunity to cry my ass off , to understand just a little bit about this tragedy . A movie , and a story which I never will forget , as long as I am alive. God bless those who rose from the ashes , and grab glory.

[bre22f]

this is when i became a believer in McConaughey's acting abilities.. great speech and great story!!

[smittyd72]

I hope you realize that you spelt "where" wrong at the beginning

[freakinrobinson]

WE ARE MARSHAL..

bum da na na NUM

[JoeThePhilosopher]

Proud to play with them in CUSA.

A Miner.

[iamthatgamer]

I wish they would make more movies like this! I mean honestly, this movie was so inspirational!

[Mickan1315]

@iamthatgamer I get why you like this movie, but why would you want another true movie about how a whole college football team dies

[iamthatgamer]

@Mickan1315 what I mean is inspirational movies about sports... one example is Rudy

[joediver1119]

@Mickan1315 You dont get it. The movie is not about how a college football team died in a plane crash. It's about how a community found the strength and desire to rise above a horrible moment in time. To rise from the ashes and stand side by side and help one another to heal and learn once again to put one foot in front of the other. In the end that's all any of us can do in the face of such horror. It's just so very hard to do. This is what the movie is about. Watch it again with this in mind.

[Darwyn7]

@joediver1119 oh like penn state?

[Darwyn7]

WE HAVE TO GO BACK!!!

[bamafan70454]

"Funerals end today!"

pumps me up and makes me cry at the same time

[lordtalon69]

I live 13 miles from marshal and remeber the crash of the plane like it was yesterday. I was so glad this film was made. It was so important to the town of huntington to show their spirit.

[Jagnole101]

This def got me misty...and I sometimes watch it before I workout

[GeorgiaKev]

"Funerals End TODAY."  Awesome statement. After nearly a year, the time for GRIEVING the loss of our teammates has passed and the time for HONORING them, as well as ourselves, has come. Now, let's get out there and kick some ass, just as our former teammates would do. Let's go!

[sexycodyboy]

I would totally love to see Jan do this oratory and show his acting chops to us.

[fauxybrown1]

@IDawgedu WTF man you itnorant inbreed WVU fan there is a reason the mountaineers have never won a championship and can't keep any good coach. With a fan base like that Everyone in the country should march on Morgantown and burn it to the ground.

[XRealDealJDX]

i get goosebumps watching this video... ' the funeral ends today '

[CJLPorter1]

This is such a inspiring video and for those who dislike this have no heart what so ever

[sivret20]

Chills

[hamburgermm35]

anybody know why his mouth moves to the side when he speaks

[PlzSuckMyDickVEVO]

can't touch "miracle" pre-game speech 

[liammckinnon0401]

@PlzSuckMyDickVEVO can't touch any given sunday's speech al pacino kills it man

[jaymac508]

@liammckinnon0401...yea but that shit aint real though...the USA hockey team was real and that happened..... Miracle on Ice was legendary

[bigchickenfu]

I don't think I'd wear an orange suit with a polka-dot green tie in public.

[bigchickenfu]

I don't think I'd wear an orange suit with a polk-dot green tie in public.

[ricie4]

whats the song called?

[ricie4]

sad movie

[aquaguy322]

Only people who are so critical of this movie are wvu fans. I'm not suprised though...when Bowden left, class left with him, and NC opportunities. Wvu fans hate whenever Marshall gets publicity...and it drives them even more insane to live with Marshall's real-life incident as a story of inspiration and REAL team spirit and city unity.

[Jules91961]

I grew up in Huntington and graduated from MU.  I lived in the area of Spring Hill Cemetery and cannot count the number of times I walked up to the Marshall memorial (shown in this scene) while growing up just to chill and reflect. It was very surreal to see this on the big screen.

[takethatjourney]

I love this movie!!! I live in Huntington and it was so awesome seeing them filming and just having such an amazing movie based on your team. It's hard to believe it happened, but we are still trying to recover from the crash today. This movie portrays our pain and the tragedy perfectly. Inspirational. Epic. Amazing. I cry every time. WE ARE... MARSHALL.

(It does get annoying when you walk through town and everywhere you see We are... Obsentrics! Etc. Hahaha, gotta love Marshall though!!!)

[FullyNimble]

I haven't seen this movie before but is that the same guy as Jack Shepard from LOST

[MUTwirler92]

@FullyNimble -yep.

[FullyNimble]

@MUTwirler92 nice

[sikas9topgun]

this movie almost mad me cry...sadest but most inspirational movie

[PaganMalm]

чё за хуйня?

[cr33pyGamer]

umm..... ok

[worldcargo123]

spine tingling is all i can say.

[spitfiressniper07]

probably the only movie i like with matthew mconaghey in it or however u spell his name

[mikeortiz410]

Isn't that black guy on the team like thirty?

[Abeck14]

Chills :O

[TimBrownbread]

we are?....MARSHALL..We are?!...MARSHALL , WE ARE?! MARSHALL!!

[IDawgedYou]

Only 'tards like the Marshall fan base would use this movie as a recruiting tool.

"Hey kid, ever here how our whole football team was killed in a plane crash? Want a plane ticket to come and visit our campus?"

[adrenalinerush239]

@IDawgedYou I cannot believe what you just said. You are a selfless bitch to say that they are using dead people to make people from money. i really hope that you have a turn around in life or you will have no friends, because no one wants to be friends with a guy who believes a college recruited kids because there students died. that is awful and you are pathetic

[IDawgedYou]

@adrenalinerush239 The Marshall "faithful" have been trotting out the deaths of those guys for 4 decades. You even have fans asking for pieces of the plane to keep on their mantel. Now go drink something from under your sink.

[MUTwirler92]

@IDawgedYou We'd rather you drank something from under the sink.

[IDawgedYou]

@MUTwirler92 Well you got me there. That was pretty funny, you know, taking what I said and repeating it back to me. Very creative.

[aquaguy322]

@adrenalinerush239 Don't listen to that person. He's clearly a wvu fan from New Jersey, this is coming from a fanbase who approved jerseys made "honoring" the killed coal miners...when in fact it was insulting to their families. This is also the fanbase who chanted Jamie Dixon's dead sister's name at him when they played. While this fanbase wants to tell a story, their fanbase exploits the murders from the greedy coal barons and sell them on jerseys. Go to hell you wvu fan.

[44ownzu]

@aquaguy322 god, stop taking it so seriously you fanatic. nobody gives a shit.

[aquaguy322]

@44ownzu Oh, sorry, unexpected tragedy shouldn't be taken seriously. Guess we shouldn't take 9/11 seriously either?

[44ownzu]

@aquaguy322 What's your definition of seriously? Constantly obsessing over it and making sure everyone shares your subjectivity, or making sure everyone realizes how tragic 911 was. Yes, it was unfortunate. In both cases, an insignificant few died. Get over it. There's 7 billion people on this planet, a few thousand doesn't matter for shit.

[aquaguy322]

@44ownzu Actually no...it never really came up until some dipshit named IDawgedYou ran his mouth then you added to it in the same disrespectful context. Tragedy happened at Virginia Tech and Kent State...I know neither personally but I sure as hell know to never open my mouth in objection about it. Some people are far more sensitive about those things than others...it's just more polite to keep your mouth shut than say some things, seriously.

[44ownzu]

@aquaguy322 It may be more polite, but it doesn't make it any less true. Regardless, i'm stating reason and if you'r offended by reality i could careless. Shit happens all the time, why don't you write a list of grievances. How about Haiti, Japan, Norway, the Crusades, Pompeii? It is insensitive but it is true, and it is not intended to be disrespectful. Now, if it had happened to be i would have a different outlook but it hasn't. Don't personalize it.

[Rowlandi11]

@44ownzu Spoken like somebody who has never endured real struggle or tragedy in their life. It's a different story when it's your loved ones lost and not just a statistic you see on the news. It's a true shame that there are people in this world who think the way you do. Who see a bombing in Iraq, a hijacked plane on U.S. soil, or a bus full of kids dead because the driver fell asleep at the wheel as only a statistic in the decrease of surface population. You sound like the Scrooge himself!

[Hokienation90]

@aquaguy322 Fuck the West Virginia Mountaineers

[jcsmithsk8ter]

@aquaguy322 ooooooo its also the same fan base who are proud of a show like Jersey Shore

[fercho32001]

everytime i hear WE ARE, MARSHALL!!!

I get the goosebumps

[MyTallkid]

@Commander1tv I am sorry about your uncle. I net he was a good man

[dansyy12]

nailed it.

[theadubya17]

Funerals end today!

[Commandert1TV]

My uncle Joe Hood #33 died in this crash :( miss u every day

[cowboysfan1964]

@Commandert1TV Sorry for your loss. This was an icredible movie..

[MrSouthphillyitalian]

He played a good role in Two For The Money with Al Pacino

[3leggeddonkey101]

this is so moving!!

[nelanracing19a]

if u can get a part of the movie on here why not the entire movie?

[jpfinn27]

12 dislikes are these people shitting me ?

[MultiMagic88]

I love this movie...it's so inspiring!

[WizPreeFresh]

i just cant take matt mcconaughey seriously here...

[tomodude6542]

did the plane crash actually happen?

[DIFFORALLTID]

@tomodude6542

Yes it did.

[nao500]

RISE FROM THE ASHES AND GRAB GLORY! GIVES ME CHILLS

[pofootball5]

was the WOW!!! necessary...kind of ruined the moment bud

[DIFFORALLTID]

"Although Marshall lost,"

They won against Xavier? :P

[TheAbass13]

Nothing against the speech but Matthew McConaughey does not fit the best description for a motivational coach. Producers should have considered a more inspirational cast member. For instance: a Kurt Russel perhaps

[jmaraney1]

mar

[jmaraney1]

WE ARE.....marshhalle?

[pinglover71]

One of the best performance by an actor for me! Matthew McConahay was wonderful in there.

[4l4ddin77]

what a horrible movie this was huh

[BeVersatile09]

i feel as though this is the only serious movie that mconahay has been in

did a really good job i think he should b more of a "serious" actor

[bunnyjazz]

@BeVersatile09 Watch Amistad, it's one of the best movies ever.

McConahay is in it.

[BeVersatile09]

@bunnyjazz I'll check it out the scenes that i saw were really good

[mhanley2375]

Who says McConahay can't act?

[qsnipes]

6 young men and *69* others lol

[Defender78]

WaM is an excellent movie. Im not a football fan or a fan sports movies, but this one had top acting.

[BiGD47000]

That was appropriate.After the speech did he say "Now, who's hungry?" "The Pizza's on me fella's"

[MLIPHANTOM22]

the 12 people that disliked this vid are a holes

[singapore7773]

I love the part in this movie where he asks some opposing coach "can we use your game tapes." and against all odds the opposing coach lets them. And he says take as much time as u need. ... pretty crazy

[MUTwirler92]

@singapore7773 I will admit that there were some "creative liberties" taken with our story. HOWEVER, the part of the story you are questioning really did happen. Bowden is connected to the Marshall story in more than just that scene. 1. He was offered Tolley's job but took the WVU job instead. He could have been the first time head coach on that plane. 2. Bowden was an assistant at Florida State-where Red Dawsen played college ball.

[singapore7773]

@MUTwirler92 thx for the info. amazing

[MUTwirler92]

@singapore7773 You'll notice when Bowden enters the room Red greets him by calling him Coach. 3. Marshall & WVU didn't play at that time. We didn't start playing until 1997 when the Govenor made the two schools come to some kind of aggrement to play. 4. Bowden has said as a member of the Christian Coaches Association (I may not have the name of the organization correct) but, helping Marshall was the right thing to do.

[MUTwirler92]

@singapore7773 One last thing. Bowden as NCAA to allow WVU to play Marshall's final game of the 1970 season... wearing Marshall's jersey's. Yeah it sounds far fetched but it really happened that way. The part about WVU wearing the MU and cross on their helmet was true as well.

[NeVeRMoRe66]

Kinda shameless to use the dead bodies of six players for your motivation speech....aw look, some of them even walk all over the headstones at the end...

[GeorgiaKev]

@NeVeRMoRe66 He chose to give the speech there because an important step of a grieving process is acceptance of what happened. Also, by going there, he acknowledged the 1970 team and was able to point out that although none of those players would be there with them on the field that day, they would still be watching....

[thatoneirishkoreaguy]

Even though Marshall isnt doing so hot this season, but I am very happy and glad that they still have a program. That would suck if they ended up not having a program....thundering herd just sounds bad ass.

[pipetor11]

¡¡¡¡MARSHALL!!!!

[pipetor11]

¡We are!

[detectiveScrotts124]

Your comments u put at the end of the video just ruin it

[jmfpercussion]

"THEIR hearts on the line".

[GabrielsDeath13]

Definition of a moral victory. I love it.

[oodrea1221]

AWESOME MOVIE...ONE OF THE BEST THAT I'VE SEEN IN A VERY LONG TIME.

I thought this was one of the only games they won that year?

[tej41694]

@oodrea1221 they won this one and then won I think their homecoming game that season

[brucepemberton]

how can 11 people dislike such an emotional, real, heartbreaking video.

[RubberDuckiesUnite21]

@brucepemberton they probably disliked it cause this is really sad and how many people like being sad?? but i agree, good..no, GREAT speech/film clip.

[bsabre27]

Less than a week it will be the 40th anniversary. That had to be very rough then and I'm sure it stll is today.

[divid3d11]

What is the name of the song in the vid.?

[theadubya17]

this is probably one of my favorite movies if not my favorite

[SuperOriginalGuy]

@prototype91595 please just shut the fuck up about the whole 10 people who dislike this are gay crap, just shut up

[DIFFORALLTID]

@SuperOriginalGuy 15 people didn't make the team

[DIFFORALLTID]

@SuperOriginalGuy 15 people played in Xavier (they lost).

[marshalluniversity31]

marshall won that game.
