The Truth Comes Out..

After reading the piece below from The Blind Side by Michael Lewis, I decided to go out and buy the book. I have not had to had time to start the book yet, but I plan on getting into it over the next couple of days. If there are more stories like this in the book it should be very good book. From what I hear this is not really a book for Ole Miss fans, it is a book for those that like a good read and those that like to hear a good success story.

"Since spring football practice that doubled as Michael's coming-out party. Phil Fulmer had become perfectly obsessed with Michael Oher. When the University of Tennessee traveled to play Ole Miss, Fulmer took his entire team on a wide detour to the middle of nowhere, to practice at the Briarcrest Christian School. His plan had been to roll up to the Briarcrest in the Volunteers' swanky team buses and, offensive lineman leading the charge, have the entire team surround Michael Oher and give him a cheer. Even more shrewdly, Fulmer staged his tableau on the very Friday that Michael was meant to make his official visit to Ole Miss. Michael was to become, in effect, Ole Miss's property at 3:00 p.m. sharp. Fulmer Planned to arrive just before that, and detain him. It didn't work out that way. Just before 3:00, Fulmer called Ole Miss recruiter, Kurt Roper, said his team bus was stuck in Memphis traffic, and persuaded Roper to wait until 3:30 to take Michael away.
