In November, 1970, virtually the entire
football team and coaches of Marshall
University (Huntington, W.V.) die in a
plane crash. That spring, Nate Ruffin, a
player who was ill and missed the fatal
flight, led a students rally to convince
the board of governors to play the 1971
season. The college president, Don
Dedman, must find a coach, who then
must find players. They petition the
NCAA to allow freshmen to play, and
coach Jack Lengyel motivates and leads
young players at the same time that he
reexamines the Lombardi creed that
winning is the only thing. The father
and the fiancée of a player who died
find strength to move on. Can Marshall
win even one game in 1971?

Seven elderly Britons, for a variety

love, Douglas and Jean have lost their
pension in a family investment, Muriel
needs cheap hip surgery, Madge seeks
a rich husband, and Norman is chasing
women. India affects each in different
ways, while their host, young Sonny,

Sprawling, epic tale of a wealthy Texas
rancher and his wife, their descendants
and their life together over 25 years.
Bick Benedict met his future wife Leslie
while on a trip East to buy breeding
stock, returning home with a bride.
Living on a half-million acre ranch
takes some getting used to for Leslie
as does the rough and tumble lifestyle.
They have children who have their
own minds and are apt to disappoint
their parents over their life choices. As
Leslie says at one point, you can’t live
their lives for them, you can only raise
them. Bick Benedict’s rival is a former
ranch hand, Jett Rink, who inherits a
tract of land from Bick’s late sister Luz.
Jett strikes oil and becomes as wealthy
as the Benedicts, although there is one
thing Bick has that he can never have
as his own.
