Looks so good. I can't believe they actually got Tubberville, Saban, Fulmer, and some other SEC coaches to be in it

I remember watching an Ole Miss game in 06 I believe where the announcers outlined what this kid had accomplished, it's the only time I can remember where I was more interested in what the announcers had to say than the game itself. Talk about mental fortitude and courage....amazing stuff.

correction, Sandra Bullock is just plain hot.

Trivia, her great great grandfather was Sheriff of Deadwood. He's buried WAY up on the top of that hill. It's cool to go see if your ever there.

man, I think it looks terrible. It looks like all good books look after hollywood gets a hold of them.

I loved the book. Though Michale Lewis has a nasty habit of making everyone in his books about a million times better than they are in real life. Reading the book if you didn't know anything about football you would think Oher was 7 foot tall and 500 lbs and the greatest LT to ever step foot on teh field.

But to be fair, the best part of the book is probably impossible to bring to the big screen, so I guess there is no real option but to go with the feel good family story.
