...clear that nothing spectacular happened at Marshall. It took "The Thundering Herd" something like a decade before they consistently won more games than they lost in a season. Nobody became a famous coach or gridiron immortal in the wake of the tragedy the team endured. The film's script (by Jamie Linden) makes it clear that a few people never did buy into Lengyel's gung-ho ways, and the director (McG), for the most part keeps the rah-rah spirit in decent check.

Songs like “Miguel Sanchez” and “Alex (Stolen Script)” portray complicated situations so enthralling that they practically demand that you listen repeatedly until you understand everything. His depictions of the street life are vivid and even touching in the case of “Josephine.” Yet they still always seem real and raw: contrast...
