Jerius Norwood was illiterate when he left college

But man he could run.

My favorite?

Jerrell Powe. Played for Ole Miss for like 7 years. When cops arrested him, he refused to sign the citation because he didn't know how to write, and his mom backed him up on that in court.

From a Deadspin article

quote:

Mississippi lineman Jerrell Powe raised some hackles this weekend when he was cited by police for a noise violation�then told the officer that he couldn't sign the citation because he doesn't know how to read.

I'm sure that Powe thought he was just being clever and he wouldn't be the first person to think he could outfox a police officer by "playing" dumb. (Once the cop informed him he was getting the citation whether he signed it or not, Powe complied with the order.) But this incident becomes a little more suspect when you consider that it took Powe two years to even be admitted to Ole Miss because of academic problems.

Powe signed with Ole Miss in February of 2005, but had to spend a year at Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia when the school denied him admission. Then after working to get his grades and test scores up, the NCAA still denied him eligibility twice and he filed a lawsuit. (That was later dropped and he enrolled in 2007.)

Oh, and there was this too: His mother was quoted in legal papers as saying, "Jerrell really is a good child, but he just can't read." That might have been what raised some concerns.

I thought Bronco Mendenhall would be a good hire for them. There's still time to turn things around, but it doesn't look very good at the moment.

Same. Leaning towards the BYU game because we play them this year, or the UMASS game because for some unknown reason we play them this year.

I mean, yeah. You have a bunch of ACC titles, and have done better than us recently.

On the other hand:

p.s. the fact you took it down makes it even worse because you've given up on ever winning a national title.

p.p.s I'll be at Miami-FSU if any of you FSU posters wanna grab a beer.

Our front 7 is AMAZING this year, and I cannot wait to watch. Most of our second string DL would start at other schools.

The HIGHER THE CONFIDENCE VALUE, the MORE POINTS YOU WILL EARN if you selected the winning team. For purposes of this game, 10 is the maximum confidence value each week.
