Why do I get a log in box asking for a username and password that pops up when I get to the site? Is that my computer or is it the site doing that?

BTW, on "According To Jim" last night, Jim's brother-in-law and sister-in-law were having a conversation and they were trying to think of people named "Jim" and brother-in-law says "Jim Tressel". His wife looks at him and says "You men the coach for Ohio State?" and he says back "Honey, I love you so much right now"....................pretty cool I thought(though not very cool that I was watching that show in the first place).

Julius Campbell, the inspiration for the movie "Remember the Titans", was recently the guest speaker at the annual dinner for the Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County. With Campbell at the FSK Holiday Inn are club members Xavier Sewell, left, 12, and Rodrigo Gallegos, 12.


MANY OF THE youngsters in the Boys and Girls Club of Frederick County have seen "Remember the Titans", a movie about football players overcoming racial problems to win a state championship at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Va., in 1971. Last Wednesday they got a chance to meet Julius Campbell, one of the main characters in the movie which was released in 2000.
Campbell, who lives in Princes George's County, was the main speaker at the group's annual banquet.

"I was shocked when I found out he was coming here," said 13-year-old Damon Mackin of Frederick . "I want to meet him."

"I've seen the movie about three times, including just last week," said 13-year-old Maria Gallegos of Frederick . "The movie surprised me. I didn't know they had so many problems."

Campbell is a member of the '71 Original Titans Foundation, a group of former players on the state championship team. They speak about the movie and the team to various groups. His group raises money to send two T.C. Williams athletes to college each year.

"I talk about the movie and then I talk about race relations and education," Campbell said prior to the banquet. "A lot of people today don't know what racism was like back then. They didn't know that blacks couldn't drink out of water fountains, go to bathrooms or movies. They are really amazed."

He speaks at 10 to 11 events each year, to adults and students. Once, several members of the team went to Michigan because they were threatening to close down a plant because of racial problems.

Campbell, who like Bertier was an All-Amercan, continued playing football at Ferrum Junior College in Virginia, but suffered a hairline fracture in his ankle his second year. Ohio State was looking at him, but he became disillusioned with football and gave up the sport
