A college football lover's dream?

Is there really anything better than a good football movie? Well...yeah; but that still doesn't make this story any less awesome.

Picture this: a college football movie with a supporting cast that includes Nick Saban, Houston Nutt, Tommy Tuberville, Philip Fulmer, and Lou Holtz. College football fans (and especially SEC lovers), are you drooling yet?

The movie, "The Blind Side" chronicles the hardknocked life of Ole Miss offensive lineman Michael Oher, who was drafted in the first round this year by the Baltimore Ravens.

The movie also stars Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw as Oher's foster parents, but honestly...who cares? What makes a football movie are the players and coaches, and by adding some of the most highly recognizable names in college football, it makes it that much more better. Do I honestly care whether or not Nick Saban is a great actor? No. Do I think that Philip Fulmer is polishing up his Oscar acceptance speech as we speak? Definetly not. But just their presence in this film makes me want to see it even more, and I'm pretty sure I won't be the only one.
