OXFORD, Miss. - The subjects of the blockbuster film "The Blind Side," Leigh Anne Tuohy and Michael Oher will serve as special guests for Ole Miss' 11th annual Ladies' Football Forum Saturday, July 16 at the Indoor Practice Facility on campus.
A celebrated speaker and graphic designer, Tuohy will serve as guest speaker for the event, while her adopted son Oher will take part in a Q&A. A two-time All-American lineman at Ole Miss, Oher was a NFL first-round draft pick in 2009 and is entering his third season with the Baltimore Ravens.
"We're going to try and change it up a little bit this year, but the women will definitely walk away with a better understanding of what players go through just to wear a Rebel uniform," said Ladies' Forum Coordinator Chyna Ward-Poley. "The ladies will have in-depth insight into the Ole Miss Rebel Football Program. In between speakers, the ladies will tour the weight room, training room and locker room."
As in past forums, the Ole Miss coaching staff will provide participants with insight into the sport and even more Xs and Os than in previous years. The ladies will learn how the Rebels prepare for a game and will have the opportunity to run out on the field with head coach Houston Nutt.
Women interested in participating in the Ladies' Football Forum should contact Ward-Poley at (662) 915-1564 or e-mail chyna@olemiss.edu. The cost is $150 per person, and a registration form is available by clicking here.
