    The book and the movie were the Mary Poppin's version of Jake's life.

    Yep thats me. My College is well....Good and bad. Its a major sports college, not only on the field but in the classroom too. You go there to be a athlete and a athletic training/physical therapy/sports management type major. Almost everyone in our school does some kind of sport. So we have alot of very attractive athletic girls, which is a plus. However the downside is it is for some reason a "bad party school". there are no frats, and our party scene is nowere near like the Alpha Betas on Revenge of the Nerds if you get what I mean. If your not 21, theres not much to do around my school. Luckily I now am 21. I wrestle at 141lb, and Hope to Box at around the same weight in the Amatuers when I have my first fight soon. It will be tough though because I had to cut lots of weight to make it and I am pretty tall for my weight.

    Btw, something you might find intriguing, I train at Marvin Haglers gym Petronelli's Gym in Brockton. Lots of history here.

    Serves me right for my knee-jerk post, R. A bookload -- some of the lighter ones I've put up; the darker ones: gotta let sleeping dogs lie.

    Well, he admits to raping two women in the book, that wasnt in the movie. He also admits to having killed a man in a robbery (he found out years later that the man survived but he went about 15 years thinking he had killed the man).
