[edit] Historical Inaccuracies

Sheebz (talk) 05:09, 1 June 2008 (UTC)I just finished watching the movie, and after some very basic research, i've found that they didn't actually beat harvard. Looks like the team that they beat was USC for the national championship. Sources: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/05/education/05wiley.html http://www.marshallnewsmessenger.com/featr/content/features/greatdebaters/farmer_tolson.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=5 I am going to update the historical differences section to reflect this fact.
