I am yet to see the Blind Side (not a fan of Sandra Bullock and the trailer looked kind of not my type of film). I may check it out if Ole Miss is in it though.

It's not anyone's type of movie.

Only parts to watch are when the football coaches show up, as it's the real coaches playing themselves.

As of now, the Grove is all free. First come, first serve. Amazing considering how much how they could charge for spaces. Getting space for big games is very competitive.

The movie is very Hollywoodized, but it's not a bad place to start for a foreigner.

You can also check out all the Ole Miss football you want on Youtube. Search for The Season:Ole Miss Football 2012-2013. Its a documentary style show that was produced each week during last season. My personal favorite is the Egg Bowl episode.

Crime of the century. I never got a satisfactory explanation as to how a replay official can call a penalty retrospectively.

I watch a lot of college football. That remains the first and only time I've ever seen a replay official call a penalty retrospectively. It still intrigues me.

I know I've seen it in situations with too many men on the field. I think coaches can even challenge a no-call on that penalty and have the refs review if it should have been a flag.

This Darnell Dockett/Chris Rix feud is hilarious. Rix talked shit about DD on a call in show yesterday (suggested he was gay, brought up that Greg Jones beat up DD, etc.) and DD just responded on Twitter. Rix issued some weak ass apology but it didn't fly. DD swears on his dead mother he will beat the shit out of him.

Dockett has still been Twitter "feuding" with AJ as well. Very weird guy.

Yeah, losing Smith sucked, although in this situation you had to realize Smith was totally set this past season, we had so much returning talent on d, and next season they're all gone. It was a good time for him to bail.

(Although, he completely fucked up the Louisville game, Bridgewater couldn't walk and he refused to blitz at all .... which was stupid as hell).

Hopefully, Cohen keeps the ball rolling.

and oh yeah Ron Prince sighting, he's probably going to be the OC.

It's amazing, Bridgewater could barely move = No Blitz

Playing VT and Logan Thomas = Blitz every other play.

When Alex Collins, a star running back at South Plantation High in Florida, decided to sign a letter of intent to go to Arkansas during National Signing Day on Wednesday, his mother, Andrea McDonald, was unhappy.

She was so unhappy, she took the letter of intent away and left the house. She wanted her son to go to Miami so he could stay close to her. Eventually, Collins' father, Johnny Collins, stepped in, and Alex Collins signed and faxed his letter intent to Arkansas on Thursday. End of the matter, right? Wrong.

Also on Thursday, McDonald hired an attorney with the Cochran firm to represent the family "while she contemplates" where her son plays football in college. She is hoping to get the letter of intent voided and have her son attend Miami, like she wants.

UCLA recruits | USC recruits | Southland's best

Collins signed his papers during a small news conference with his father. They both briefly talked about McDonald.

"Let him go," said Johnny Collins. "Let him go."

Meanwhile, Alex Collins says he understands where his mom is coming from, even though she hasn't answered his phone calls for the last day.

"She cares about me so much she doesn't want me to make the wrong decision," he said.

Now that is a devoted son.

Ironically, many Texas fans resent Mack Brown as much as Cal fans at this point. I'm facebook friends with the Longhorn Network on facebook and people weren't too nice when they asked Texas fans to grade this years recruiting class for the Longhorns. People weren't too kind even though none of them were hiding behind anonymity.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider

Heh. Got a call from the ticket office today, to ask me why I hadn't renewed and let me know that I still can even though the deadline is passed.

Guess sales aren't going so well.

Not too much of a surprise, I suppose. Last season was a disaster and the new coach doesn't have a ton of buzz. Next year is going to be rough given the extremely difficult schedule that Cal have lined up, so things could get worse before they get better. Are you definitely not renewing at this point?

I took a look a the recruiting class this morning and was pleasantly surprised that they held most of it together after the coaching change. Doesn't look like a ton of impact players, but hopefully a bunch of these guys pan out long term.

The Wiki synopsis tells you everything you need to know:

Samuel Edward "Sam" Makin (played by Ward) is a tough New York City street cop and Vietnam-era Marine Corps veteran unwillingly recruited as an assassin for a secret United States organization, CURE. The recruitment is through a bizarre method: his death is faked so that there will be no questions asked as to his disappearance. Rechristened "Remo Williams" (after the name and location of the manufacturer of the bedpan in Makin's hospital room), his face is surgically altered and he is trained to be a human killing machine by his aged, derisive and impassive Korean martial arts master Chiun (played by Grey). Though Remo's training is extremely rushed by Chiun's standards, Remo learns such skills as dodging bullets and running (not walking) on wet cement. Chiun teaches Remo the Korean martial art named "Sinanju". Remo's instruction is interrupted when he is sent by CURE to investigate a corrupt weapons procurement program within the US Army.

I wonder when they'll release the Big XII all name team, I figure Tech has a decent chance of getting some players on it with Josh Outlaw and Poet Thomas.

kind of dampers the Lulz at his expense earlier (tattoo-wise)

But that doesn't mean I can't laugh at LSU hiring Cam Cameron as OC.

His first order of business: Draft Ted Ginn Jr's Family.

In November 1995, Foster shot and seriously injured his ex-girlfriend, Inita Berry (now her last name is Paige) in the back as she was entering her father's home on Chestnut Street in Roanoke. Her friend Michael Eric Magby, 35, of Valley was also hit in the arm, but was treated and released. Also shot was their baby son, Reuben Foster, who Inita was holding in her arms..

quote:
In November 1996 he was convicted of first-degree assault for shooting his ex-girlfriend and second-degree assault for shooting their baby. He was sentenced to a mandatory 30 years.

In December 1996, when Foster was 23, he escaped Randolph County Jail in Wedowee by sawing through a bar of his cell and squeezing through the window during the night,
quote:
After he escaped, Foster went back to the Berry home where he held Roy Berry, Inita's father, at gunpoint while looking for Inita. Armed with a shotgun, he forced his way in. When he couldn't find her, he fled and has been on the run ever since.

According to WFOR in Miami, Danny Foster is accused of killing a man and burning his body. He also faked his death to avoid capture.

This is the best news ever. Ravens get rid of him, win Super Bowl. Now I get to watch LSU flounder with the "run, run, chuck it deep" offense.
