Other than the fact that a book was written about Oher before he was well known in college football, I don't know. But I am sure it has something to do with Ole Miss being a bunch of primadonna snobs.

Now Oher is writing his own book




Will it be offered in crayon or will that be reserved for the original manuscript.

Because Michael Lewis happened to use Oher's story (as it was unfolding) when writing a book about the evolution of the left tackle. I believe Lewis and Sean Touhy attended high school together (Newman if I'm not mistaken).

There are no doubt countless players that could be written about. Patrick Willis has a great story as well.

Ole Miss has nothing to do with the book or the movie. Just happens thats where he went to school.

There's thousands of players with stories like this. If you want there to be a movie about Mcclain, then write the screen play and sell it to someone with the power.
