We stand of the presipice of a moment of greatness in the thespianic arts.  A performance sure to be of the ages, no doubt.  An actor so gifted, so passionate, so inspired by the muse of Red Bull and recruiting, bathed in a distinct odor of wet nutira and spoiled shrimp.  Prepare yourselves for the Orgeron, 60 feet tall and in Dolby Digital surround sound…

From Orgeron snuggle buddy Bruce Feldman’s blog when discussing the upcoming movie based on the book, Blind Side, about Ole Miss tackle Michael Oher.

Speaking of which, a while back a buddy and I had wondered about who Hollywood would get to play Orgeron in the movie about Ole Miss offensive lineman Michael Oher. Turns out, Orgeron is going to play the role himself. Next week he’s slated to go to Atlanta to do his scene with Sandra Bullock, the star of the movie.

“How amazing is that?” he said as he flipped over a copy of the movie script that had been FedExed to him.

 It is pretty surreal. Now it’s not like he’s playing Hamlet, but it’s still quite a thought to imagine some Hollywood type, going, ‘OK, OK, good, but now, do it with more feeling.’

    Feldman loves him some Orgeron. You hit the nail on the head there. Everytime i read something from him on UT and Coach O, I am at a loss for words. He did watch Ole Miss from 05-07 right?
