    There's one thing about Freeze that Rebel fans tend to forget

    If you saw the Blind Side, I remember thinking that the coach (had no idea who Freeze was at the time) was really a jerk. He salivated over Oher when he saw him playing basketball, but when he got him on the football field, he thought he had wasted pushing an under qualified kid through.

    Now, I know a lot of that was played up for Hollywood because people said Oher always knew how to play football. But I can't help but wonder after what I have read and heard about Freeze since he joined Ole Miss if the sleazy used car salesman of guy that was portrayed in the movie is a lot closer to the truth than Ole Miss fans want to believe.

    I know a handful of people from around the Memphis area who were familiar with Freeze prior to Michael Oher. They all hate him except 1 that was in the school he coached for (everybody likes winning).

    I know one guy that coached against him in football and he wouldn't pee on Freeze if Freeze were on fire.

    Me neither, and I can't understand how most people can't see through the overall absurdity of the story to begin with. People eat the shit up and then ask for seconds. So the Tuohys adopted a "homeless" dude that just so happened to be a stellar athlete on everyone's radar - in a city filled with literally hundreds of legitimately homeless people in much, much worse shape than Oher.

    Give me a damn break...

    I was forced to watch it on an airplane. It was a fluff piece.

    One funny story was someone on the Ravens told Oher about the movie and said- "hey, this guys story is just like yours!"

    what gets missed is that Oher was already a poor homeless top athlete attending a prestigious private school when he was "adopted" and saved
