Hey, check out my new article on Scout’s College Football News website. This particular article covers the 2010 Ole Miss football schedule, offering an unbiased prediction on the Rebels will fare this season.
This week I was inspired by a college mate of mine who wrote a tale of how recounting acts of kindness can be healthier, and less stressful, than dwelling on negative memories. I thought that this was a good thing to post, so I would like to share a story as well. Here’s to you, Jeff…
It was the winter of 1993, January to be precise, and I was in Mobile, Alabama with my parents, who were attending a business seminar. I always loved these weekend functions. After all, I didn’t have to go to the meetings; I could run around the hotel all day at my parent’s expense. Great gig, huh? 
Anyways, I was hanging out with a friend whose parents were also at the function. I can’t remember what hotel it was, and I’m not even going to try and guess, but it was definitely a high-rise. I remember this because of the frequent up-and-down elevator trips.
So we were eating at the hotel restaurant when I notice a lot of young, big guys walking around the lobby area. Turns out that they were all college football players who were in town for the Senior Bowl, which is sort of like the NFL Pro Bowl, but on a college level. The best players in the nation come to this game.
Of course, I was at the impressionable age of 11, so college students were pretty much adults in my estimation. And since I was a college football fan, my friend and I decided to get autographs. So we grabbed a sheet of paper that had the roster of all the players in the game (believe I swiped it off a table, but don’t quote me on that).
The Ole Miss Rebels football squad are looking to compete for an SEC Championship this season, but a huge indicator of whether that’s conceivable or not is the results of spring training. The analysis of spring training can be capsulized by the annual spring game, or the Grove Bowl as they call it in Oxford.
How it did it go for the boys in red and blue? Check it out below…
With the work I do for Demand Studios, I have to perform a lot of research on foreign countries and cities to write about points of interest they have. In the old days (meaning five to ten years ago), it would have been difficult to conduct this research since websites in other countries had their own language on the pages and no English translation. 
This is still the case on some sites, but Google has created the handy Google Translator app which allows me to get information on the page without having to figure out what it all means.
However, it has occurred to me that this is only the beginning. It will be within our lifetime that robotic implants will be placed in our bodies that will be able to translate other languages without having to be an expert in linguistics.
People will speak, and we will understand.
Like a sci-fi movie. Is it that hard to fathom? Not necessarily. One reason we love technology is that the convenience it creates in our lives. And understanding everyone in this world would be convenient for everyone. Thus, I believe we will aim to reach that goal.
From all that I’m hearing, Mr. Holloway’s Toy Company’s premiere was a complete success. My only wish is that I would have been able to attend. Amile and I will be submitting the film into more festivals over the next year, but I wanted to take this time to thank you guys for making this film a reality.
Thank you. The film could not have been made without you.
Also, I want to thank everyone who was in attendance tonight and gave encouraging words. It means more to me than you’ll ever know. I will be updating people when more developments arise.
Peace.
