Mark Ingram in "The Road"
Perhaps I've read too many books by Cormac McCarthy, or perhaps I've watched, read, and thought about Alabama football too much, but I just had the most awesome dream ever. Less than four minutes ago, I had a dream that resembled a version of The Road. In my version, there was no little boy and the man's character was played by our very own Mark Ingram, Jr. As I awakened, Mark was on the boat (the part towards the end when he finds the flare gun) but some white trash guy jumped on the boat with a gun. Ingram disarmed the man with a series of punches and finished him by pulling his arm over a metal railing and breaking it (way to go, Mark!). Then I woke up, actually disappointed that I wouldn't see the rest of the movie.
Rick Reuschel, the former Pittsburgh Pirate, Chicago Cub, and San Francisco Giant, was also in the dream playing one of the cannibals. Ingram managed to gun him down at an airport shootout that resembled the mall scene from Commando (you know, the one where Arnold beats up a dozen cops, swings through the sky on a stream of balloons, and finally tears and lifts a telephone booth off the ground). Reuschel was playing Sully's character; Ingram was playing John Matrix's.

"...too many books by Cormac McCarthy..."
No such thing. I must ashamedly admit that I haven’t read the Road yet or seen the movie. As soon as I’m through with the Missing Ring its next on my priority list.

He did go to Tennessee
If any of you attended UA and were fortunate enough to meet or have Dr. Dwight Eddins for a class you might have had the pleasure of hearing him talk about McCarthy.

I have read just about all of McCarthy's stuff . . .
but I couldn’t finish the Road — I have a little boy and it was a little too disturbing.
