The French government's 2004 decision to ban Islamic headscarves and other religious signs from public schools puzzled many observers, both because it seemed to infringe needlessly on religious freedom, and because it was hailed by many in France as an answer to a surprisingly wide range of social ills, from violence against females in poor suburbs to anti-Semitism. Why the French Don't Like Headscarves explains why headscarves on schoolgirls caused such a furor, and why the furor yielded this law. Making sense ...
The French government's 2004 decision to ban Islamic headscarves and other religious signs from public schools puzzled many observers, both because it seemed to infringe needlessly on religious freedom, and because it was hailed by many in France as an answer to a surprisingly wide range of social ills, from violence against females in poor suburbs to anti-Semitism. Why the French Don't Like Headscarves explains why headscarves on schoolgirls caused such a furor, and why the furor yielded this law. Making sense of the dramatic debate from his perspective as an American anthropologist in France at the time, John Bowen writes about everyday life and public events while also presenting interviews with officials and intellectuals, and analyzing French television programs and other media.
Bowen argues that the focus on headscarves came from a century-old sensitivity to the public presence of religion in schools, feared links between public expressions of Islamic identity and radical Islam, and a media-driven frenzy that built support for a headscarf ban during 2003-2004. Although the defense of laïcité (secularity) was cited as the law's major justification, politicians, intellectuals, and the media linked the scarves to more concrete social anxieties--about "communalism," political Islam, and violence toward women.
Written in engaging, jargon-free prose, Why the French Don't Like Headscarves is the first comprehensive and objective analysis of this subject, in any language, and it speaks to tensions between assimilation and diversity that extend well beyond France's borders.
American anthropologist John Bowen . . . explains why headscarves on young French girls sparked an international debate on the nature of secular society and the role of religious observance in contemporary European society.
— Kathy English
"[An] excellent book"—Richard Wolin, Nation
"[A] lucid and thought-provoking book."—David A. Bell, New Republic
"John R. Bowen notes that since the French Revolution, in which the church was seen as a prop for oppressive state policies, the government has historically discouraged public displays of religion. . . . Why the French Don't Like Headscarves should be read by every American who holds public office as well as everyone else who cares about this great question of our day: What should we ask of those who want to live in our country?"—David Kirby, Chicago Tribune
"John Bowen's Why the French Don't Like Headscarves is . . . more a book about French political culture writ large than about Islam and France. And so it should be: Islam is now intrinsically linked with the definition of what it means to be French in political terms. . . . Bowen cleverly and vividly describes for an American audience the French political debate without simplifying or distorting it. He skillfully blends historical background, factual descriptions of events, in-depth analysis and lively discussions with philosophers and politicians, social workers and ordinary people he meets in the street. The sample of opinion he proffers conveys well the full complexity and diversity of the debate, which Bowen makes intelligible for a large audience."—Olivier Roy, American Interest
"Bowen gives a very good account of the national controversy. Bowen interviewed a number of the actors, on both sides, from the top levels of government down to some expelled girls, and produces a well-balanced account.... Well worth reading."—Jean-Paul Poirier, European Review
"Thoughtful and refreshing. . . . Even though the book focuses on France, issues about identity, religion in schools and the best way of achieving integration are highly relevant to many Western societies. Why the French Don't Like Headscarves is a timely publication that should increase understanding of such controversial subjects."—Clarissa Woodberry, Culture Wars
"Bowen . . . provides a good discussion of France's historical traditions."—Philip H. Gordon, Foreign Affairs
"American anthropologist John Bowen . . . explains why headscarves on young French girls sparked an international debate on the nature of secular society and the role of religious observance in contemporary European society."—Kathy English, Globe and Mail
"Bowen's sharp analysis flicks between the debate's twin poles: are girls wearing scarves to be treated as individuals or as 'future citizens of France'?"—Tony Maniaty, Australian
"Bowen has written an excellent study on French political culture. He should now add a similar study on the political culture of Muslims in Europe in general."—Hendrik Hansen, International Review of Modern Sociology
"Bowen's study is restricted to an account of a debate in France but it has the potential to inform similar questions around other issues of dealing with cultural differences. The research employs a creative methodology to deal with an informed and self-conscious public sphere. The book should become mandatory reading for students of social sciences as well as policy makers."—Mohammad Talib, Journal of Islamic Studies
"This book is a sensitive narrative analysis of events leading up to the banning of headscarves in public schools. Bowen never judges, he only narrates. He does not come to any conclusions about the outcome of the law, but aims at an increased understanding of the problems of diversity, integration and fragmentation facing the French. This work is important for the understanding of France today, but it is also relevant to all Western societies."—Wilhelm Pretorius, Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae
"Bowen lets his discerning narrative voice take readers on a journey through contemporary France, shaking the very foundation of this society. This is important. The idea of the enlightened and secular European, needed to discipline the religious despot from the south, is far from limited to France."—Per-Erik Nilsson, Temenos
"One of the fascinating aspects of Bowen's book is the way in which he assembled his information and documentation about the 2004 law. . . . The vast number of cases which he culled in researching his book is both admirable for its depth and for the way in which intra-Muslim passions were ignited in the debate over headscarves."—Arnold Ages, Chicago Jewish Star
"Bowen wrote a marvellous book which illustrates that 'affairs' concerning Muslims and non-Muslims cannot be explained in terms of a general incompatibility of Islam and the West, but call for detailed analysis of local civic cultures, as well as a contextualized understanding of specific domestic and foreign factors contributing to societal tensions."—Marjo Buitelaar, Social Anthropology
"Why the French Don't Like Headscarves is a fascinating synthesis of the elements that make up modern France, and as Bowen demonstrates, the debate is much more than a discussion or apprehensions about the rise of (radical) Islam in the postcolonial era; rather, the debate over les voilées is representative of the increasing fragmentation of French society, highlighting issues that are much more grave than a simple scarf."—Alexandra Jerome, Journal of Middle East Women's Studies
"[T]his book presents an accessible analysis of public discourse in France. For geographers, the book provides an excellent example of the ways that different social actors idealize and actively construct public space, and that certain bodies and bodily practices—in this case, Muslim schoolgirls and their headscarves—become the focal point of struggles to define the nature of public space. . . . [H]is analysis clearly contributes to a conceptualization of public space as ambiguous and contested, and it invites us to view conflicts over belonging and social membership through a spatial lens."—Caroline R. Nagel, Cultural Geographies
"John R. Bowen's work as presented here poses many significant questions and gives valuable suggestions for further research projects in this area."—Safiye Yildiz, H-Net Reviews
"I would like to strongly recommend Bowen's book because through the lenses of one specific issue, readers can learn a lot about the history of laïcité, the colonial legacy of France in countries such as Morocco and Algeria, the constitution of the French Muslim community, the interplay between French institutions, and that between different interest groups within and outside France."—Elena Vesselinov, Women's Studies Quarterly
"[T]he longer-duree history of France's ambiguous relationship with Islam (and headscarves) merits fuller integration into this debate. Bowen's book points usefully in this direction. While remaining grounded in the more recent history of the republic, to which he brings fresh perspective and illuminating analysis."—Mary Dewhurst Lewis, French Politics, Culture & Society
The debate and votes perplexed many observers. French public figures seemed to blame the headscarves for a surprising range of France's problems, including anti-Semitism, Islamic fundamentalism, growing ghettoization in the poor suburbs, and the breakdown of order in the classroom. A vote against headscarves would, we heard, support women battling for freedom in Afghanistan, schoolteachers trying to teach history in Lyon, and all those who wished to reinforce the principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
Given that relatively few disputes over scarf-wearing ever went beyond the classroom and that virtually no one accused scarf-wearing girls of presenting a serious danger to French society, why was a law that would force them to choose between leaving their scarves at home or leaving school be seen as such a broad palliative for France's social ills and such an important step for women everywhere? Why focus on this issue above all others? The French actions puzzled most of the world; many people saw it as at best a misplaced concern and at worst a violation of religious freedom.
It seemed to me that the law, and its broad support, should be explained. I realized that doing so would require unpacking a great deal about France, including France's very particular history of religion and the state, the great hopes placed in the public schools, ideas about citizens and integration (and the challenge posed by Muslims and by Islam to those ideas), the continued weight of the colonial past, the role of television in shaping public opinion, and the tendency to think that passing a law will resolve a social problem. I would then need to show how all these dimensions of French memory, society, and ways of thinking combined to move the political machinery toward passage of a law during 2003-2004. But I also wished to see what we could learn about France from the debates over the law. It seemed to me that its passage was one of those key moments in a country's life at which certain anxieties and assumptions come to the surface, when people take stock of who they are and of what kind of social life they wish to have.
I begin this volume by examining the long-term institutional arrangements that govern relations among the state, religion, and the individual in France. The key term in the debates about the law has been laïcité, a word that is particularly difficult to translate and that I leave in French throughout the book. As a philosophy about religion's place in politics and society, it can be translated as "secularism." But the word came late to the French language, and it does not appear in the major law (of 1905) regulating the status of religions. That law only restrains the state from subsidizing or extending special recognition to any one religion. In France's very recent history, laïcité has become one of those "essentially contested concepts," such as "freedom" and "equality," that provide resources for arguments, not starting points of agreement.
Laïcité does not, therefore, serve as a useful analytical tool. It makes no sense for a social scientist or historian to ask, "Does this policy reinforce Laïcité?"-although it makes great sense for a politician to do so.2 I prefer to ask how French public figures understand the proper relationships among religion, the state, and the individual, and how they justify their arguments and policies in terms of concepts such as Laïcité, Republicanism, and equality. Here I practice an "anthropology of public reasoning," which allows us to see connections among political philosophy, public policy, and common sense by studying how people deliberate about an important social issue.
Indeed, throughout this volume I draw on French works of philosophy and sociology as guides to more widely distributed ways of thinking about religion and society in France. Making this connection may seem tendentious. I find, however, that French politicians, writers about public affairs, television "talking heads," and philosophers are much more likely to read one another's work, be related to one another, or indeed be the same person than is the case in most in other countries. Academics strive to write newspaper columns, politicians cite current best-sellers on domestic policy, and television producers have their newest books reviewed by academics. The mechanisms of promotion and review in France help to explain a phenomenon that everyone denounces but in which everyone participates: la pensée unique, a single way of thinking. Public intellectuals, editors, and producers are caught up in webs of reciprocal promotion; it would be an unusually independent thinker who could free her-or himself. Because these intellectuals aspire to become well known in the public arena as well as (or sometimes instead of) being respected as humanists or social scientists, they are subject to unusually strong channeling forces. Whatever the strengths or weaknesses of this sort of public intellectual life, it means that intellectual writings provide relatively well-organized versions of orientations that one finds in popular writings, television programs, and political speeches.
But the philosophies, laws, histories, and attitudes about the role of the state in religious life do not explain why the appearance of Muslim schoolgirls wearing headscarves became a recurrently divisive issue. It is not exactly right, for example, to say that religion remains entirely "private" in France. Leaving aside the legacies of Catholicism, we note that the French state and municipal governments have endeavored to aid Muslims in building mosques, to provide graveyard space for Muslim burials, and to create a highly public quasi-state Muslim council. In doing so, they give official recognition to Islamic bodies. The state will certainly recognize and subsidize Islamic private schools by the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century. As we shall see in the next two chapters, this degree of state involvement in religious affairs is part of the French tradition. Why, then, did scarves in schools create a scandal?
It was not, of course, the scarves in and of themselves. This book's title is intended to be provocative, not sociologically precise. Many French women wear some sort of scarf, and many Muslims wearing Islamic dress are French. But these bits of cloth came to stand for certain fears and threats at several specific moments and because of several historical processes and events. In the second section of this book, I trace the gradually developing public presence of Islam in France. The story begins with colonial rule in North Africa, picks up the pace in 1989 with the first "headscarf affair," and moves to a still higher velocity in early 2003, when a bandwagon (or steamroller) heads toward passage of the law. This part of the story is largely about politics: about how anxieties over domestic and international threats combined at certain times to produce a set of opportunities for politicians. At three such moments, in 1989, 1993-1994, and 2003-2004, the headscarf became a convenient, and prominent, symbol of external and internal dangers to France.
The story is also about the lives of the women and girls who wear Islamic headscarves and who confront fluctuating public opinion about who they are and what their headscarves mean. The story is only incidentally about Islam, however. Although elsewhere I examine Muslims' debates about the proper understandings of Islam in France, this volume is an anthropology of French reasoning about Islam, politics, and public life, designed to understand broad French responses to what became (for better or worse) a symbol of Islam.
In the final section, this quest takes us to three major anxieties in France, each linked to the headscarves by politicians, intellectuals, and media producers. It is a particularly intriguing feature of the headscarf debates that although "defending Laïcité" was cited as the major justification of the law on religious signs, the arguments carried out in the media linked the scarves to more concrete social concerns. I highlight three such concerns: the growth in "communalism" at the expense of social mixing, the increasing influence of international "Islamism" in France, and the denigration of women in the poor suburbs.
During the early 2000s, public actors linked each of these concerns to the public presence of Islamic headscarves. In doing so, they drew on deep-seated philosophical assumptions about what French society ought to be and equally deep-seated fears about what it had become. I examine both the assumptions and the fears as they have become part of public reasoning. I draw on French works of sociology or political theory to interpret televised exposés about Muslim threats, and I learn from those exposés about the emotions lying under the surface of the philosophy.
My approach has been that of an anthropologist, or at least of the kind of social anthropologist that I have become. I prefer to look for naturally occurring arguments, presentations, and debates, and to draw out of those events certain ways of acting and reasoning that can help account for other actions. I also interview those who are involved in these debates and events, and I read their works. For these purposes, I think about interviews as approximations to naturally occurring events (rather than as windows into attitudes, for example). I try to prompt someone to speak on a familiar topic, on the assumption that the response will include ways of speaking that the speaker also uses in more natural settings. But I prefer conversations to interviews, events that occur because of a social connection already established, which include casual chats and dinnertime conversations but also arranged conversations such as the extended interview about headscarves included in chapter 4.
These interviews and conversations highlight collective narrative habits, which shape the ways in which members of a society attempt to resolve problems. For example, I am often struck by the tendency of French public figures to frame the discussion of nearly any important social issue in terms of its long-term history. You must look back to Philippe Auguste or Henri IV, Robespierre or Rousseau, they say, before you can understand our society and our values. The current French ambassador to the United States, Jean-David Levitte, once told me that the difficulty in explaining the new French law to Americans was that to do so he had to retell, each time, so much of French history.
This collective habit leads public figures to emphasize (or invent) continuity over rupture. By framing the many concerns surrounding head scarves in terms of the history of Laïcité, for example, French public figures can claim to speak for a France of long-term structures to which newcomers must adapt. Furthermore, nearly all French public figures claim that the French share certain basic Republican values, including the equality of men and women and the removal of religion from the public sphere. To argue that these values be shared is a valid political project; to argue that they have been shared by all French for a long time is to occlude some very recent debates about women's rights and the public role of the Church, not to mention the intense divisions in postwar French public life over politics, religion, and social equality.
I began research in Paris in early 2001. My research has continued through world-shaking events directly implicating Muslims and the United States: 9/11, the attack on Afghanistan, the invasion of Iraq. These changes have affected how people have reacted to me as an American. Whereas at the beginning of my research, Muslims would be more likely to speak with me than with a French researcher (I was less likely to be a police agent, and I shared with many of them the status of outsider), I am sure that some Muslims in Paris looked on me with greater suspicion after the Iraq invasion. Two things helped me: that I had begun research prior to those events, and that I already was credentialed as a scholar of Islam. Muslims in France were and are very interested in learning about Indonesia, where I had done my previous fieldwork, and I could give lectures and classes on Indonesia and on Islam in the United States. I continue to give public talks as part of my research; among other benefits, it makes the research more a joint effort to learn about Islam in pluralistic societies than a one-way relationship between researcher and subjects.
My relationships with non-Muslim French scholars, officials, and friends have perhaps been less directly affected by these recent events. I have had little difficulty calling on people to talk about the issues discussed here; indeed, public figures have valued the project of trying to explain to a wider audience how and why the French have taken the steps they have taken. At times in this book, I refer to the works of colleagues both as sources of knowledge and as indicators of French ways of approaching these complex topics. I do not think that this dual appreciation of their work in any way lowers its scholarly value or lessens my appreciation of its perspicacity. We all write from within our backgrounds and our circles of reference and readership. I hope that these excursions into their work are taken in that way.
Many books and articles have been written about the headscarves, about Islam and Muslims in France, and about Laïcité at the beginning of the twenty-first century. I mention many of these works in the chapters that follow, but in particular I draw on studies of Muslims in France by Jocelyne Cesari (1994, 1998), Nacira Guénif-Souilamas (2000), Gilles Kepel (1987), Farhad Khosrokhavar (1997), Paul Silverstein (2004), and Nancy Venel (2004); studies of Laïcité by Jean Baubérot (2000, 2004), Emile Poulat (2003), and Olivier Roy (2005); Alain Gresh's (2004) treatment of the headscarf issue; and comparative studies by Jocelyne Cesari (2004), Adrian Favel (2001), Joel Fetzer and Christopher Soper (2005), Riva Kastoryano (2002), Gilles Kepel (1997), Miche'le Lamont (1992), and Nikola Tietze (2002). I am immensely grateful to have been able to rely on this scholarship and that of many others. The present work seeks to do something a bit different, however, which is to focus on French ideas and concerns in the light of new challenges. I am often asked what I think about the law of March 15, 2004 (as it sometimes is referred to, rather officiously, in France). I am gratified when, after I have talked about why and how the law came to be passed, people are still unsure what I think. I see my role as a friendly critic. On the one hand, I wish to show how the law's advocates have drawn on long-term ways of thinking about the state, religion, and the individual in France, and how they have responded to very real concerns about how a newly diverse population can live together in one country. On the other hand, I underscore the political pressures to "do something" and do it quickly that rose to new heights in late 2003, the ways in which televised and print coverage played to popular fears, and the extraordinary symbolic weight given to a scarf worn on the head by a small number of schoolgirls. My interest lies in explicating the reasons and the mechanisms more than in rendering a simple judgment "for or against." In juxtaposing reasons and fears, debate and exposés, I would hope that the reader finishes this volume with a sharper sense of how publicity, philosophy, and politics can combine to produce a law, and that he or she remains, as I hope to remain, an informed skeptic.

2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Hello everyone! With the draft just a few short weeks away, here is the 3 Amigos' 2014 Mock Draft. As always, this mock is done under the assumption that no trades are made, as trades are just too unpredictable to deal with.
As for the mock, it was a tough one. There was a ton of debate, and I think we discussed every potential pick at 1.1 ad nauseam. The team has a lot of holes to fill, and, unfortunately, were not able to address them all. However, we took the best players available at each pick, and are very satisfied with the result.
I think that about covers my opening remarks... have at it! We encourage comments (about players, about our discussions, whatever), and will get back to any questions as soon as possible.
Round 1, Pick 1: Auburn OT Greg Robinson, 65 332 lbs
With our first pick, we, after much debate, decided to use the first overall selection to land the drafts premier tackle prospect. While the other candidates for the first overall pick have significant flaws, Robinsons biggest flaw is the most correctable- inexperience. Due to Auburns style of offense, Robinson was not asked to pass block as much as some of the other draft-eligible tackles. However, film review shows that when called upon, Robinson is more than capable of protecting his QB. Furthermore, he is a mauler in the ground game, making him a day 1 starter at RT. Drafting Robinson gives the Texans flexibility in the future as it pertains to the OL, as he could either remain at RT or move to LT should Brown be traded, injured, or moved to LG or RT. Salary should not be a concern, as the rookie wage scale will help keep Robinsons contract relatively low for the next handful of years.
Round 2, Pick 33: Washington State S Deone Bucannon, 61 211 lbs
Four year starter, Pro-ready, day one starter for Texans. Brings range, size, ball hawking skills, physical presence & run support (384 tackles, 7 forced fumbles, 3 fumble recoveries & 15 interceptions). One of the best players in this draft few talk about w/exception of our own Texan Talk members.
Round 3, Pick 65: Alabama QB AJ McCarron 6'3" 220 lbs
Durable & started every game last three seasons. Well versed in pro style offense with only 4 losses (each against top 15 team). Finalist for Davey O'Brien and Walter Camp, Won Maxwell (player of year) & second in Heisman, won Johnny Unitas Golden Arm all in 2013. Very consistent QB that should translate quickly to NFL and will not lose many games himself. Very cerebral, comfortable under center or in gun, 67 % career & throws with accuracy on the run. Exhibits good wrist snap and mobile enough to evade first wave under duress remaining calm. Mature leader who was constantly "under the lights" with good decision making. Excellent caretaker ability to make all NFL throws but core strength is short to intermediary passes that are bread and butter with 4-1 TD to INT ratio. Very effective career passing on 3rd down. 2013: 3,063 67.3% YPA 9.12 24 TDS 4 INTs 10 inch hands.
Coaching staff is drooling to work with this player who can be face of team.
Biggest complaint is he had a great Oline and 3 Amigos are giving him the same to succeed in H'town!
Round 4, Pick 101: Iowa TE CJ Fiedorowicz, 66 265 lbs
A 3 Amigos favorite, Fiedorowicz was a no-brainer here. Fiedo possesses the size necessary to be an inline blocker, but also the athleticism and hands to be a threat in the short and intermediate passing game. His versatility and old-school style of play will make him both a fan-favorite and a favorite of the coaching staff.
Round 4, Pick 135: Duke CB, Ross Cockrell, 6 191 lbs
Tall, angular CB for a retooled Texans secondary which was a high priority for three Amigos to address. Two time captain who excels in man coverage. Good ball skills, foot quickness, plays with leverage & goes for the strip. All time Duke leader in defended passes with 53. End of fourth based off minor medical condition for acl. Cockrell ran the 40-yard dash in 4.46 and 4.50 seconds, short shuttle in 4.20 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.92 seconds. He had a 39-inch vertical jump 10-foot-5 broad jump with 12 reps on bench. Notable match-up he faced 65 Texas A&M WR Mike Evans, holding him to four receptions, 72 yards & zero TD's. Cockrell has shown excellent closing speed and has displayed the ability to be a ball hawk, amassing twelve interceptions and forty pass deflections in his four years at Duke.
Round 5, Pick 141: UCONN ILB Yawin Smallwood, 6'2" 246 lbs
Red shirted 2010 then started 36 games Stats:
2011: 94 Ts 1.5 sacks, 3 pass break up 1 FF
2012: 120 -- 4.0 ---- 4 ---- and 2 FF
2013: 118--4.0 ----- 9 pass breakups 54 yd INT for TD and team captain.
MLB who was used in coverage even against WRs, keep eye on this player who could be even faster @ OLB. Hammy in combine. More fluid than Skov or Borland and has long arms with strong hands.
Round 6, Pick 177: East Carolina OLB Derrell Johnson, 62 257 lbs
In an attempt to increase the defenses ability to put pressure on the other teams quarterbacks, we elected to draft an experienced edge rusher at this point. As a four year starter (2 years at DE in a 4-3, 2 years at OLB in a 3-4), Johnson boasts a statistical resume that few in this class can match, notching 221 total tackles, 35 TFLs, and 19 sacks in his career. Known for being a tireless and relentless pass rusher, Johnson allayed concerns about his overall athleticism at his pro day, running a 4.61 forty (1.59 10 yard) despite an injured calf.
Round 6, Pick 181: Cal DE DeAndre Coleman, 6'5" 314 lbs
24 x 225 with broad shoulders, trim center with tree trunks for legs, good power POA, strong upper body and arms that allows him to shred blocks & get hands on ball carrier. Played all 37 games last three years, uses bull rush and will be utilize in NFL to stuff run as either nose or 5 Tech.
2014 combine enjoyed fine day against Gabe Ikard and Travis Swanson proving more athletic. May have allowed team's 2013 record to affect his play. Appears ready to step up and earn an NFL contract.
Round 6, Pick 211: Arkansas State NT Ryan Carrethers, 6'1" 337 lbs
26 inch vert. In 2013 had 93 tackles and two blocked kicks. Low body weight in comparison to the other "fatties" and can "lift a house" with wrestling background college; 2 gap ability who will earn his salary clogging middle with solid anchor to contain double teams. He will become known for telling Watt "go ahead, I got this."
Round 7, Pick 216: Vanderbilt OT/OG/C, Wesley Johnson, 65 297 lbs
First team All-SEC. Has played every OL position for Vanderbilt against best competition in the nation. Moves well in pass pro mirrors & kick-step like a seasoned pro has faced Clowney & given up only one sack per season last two years. Looks like a typical Patriot OL with rough beard mountain man like exterior but don't be fooled by appearance, Johnson is a two-time SEC Academic Honor Roll recipient. New England Patriots coach did take time while in Nashville (to run the Rock & Roll Half Marathon) to oversee a private workout from Johnson despite being slightly undersized but exceptionally athletic tackle who excels in the open field with his ability to pull and lead stretch plays. In ironic twist Vanderbilt Head Coach James Franklin left to take over the Penn State football program.
Round 7, Pick 256: Indiana RB/KR Stephen Houston, 511 225 lbs
Meet Mr. Irrelevant; a bowling ball of a back with speed (4.52 forty), power, and explosiveness (40 vertical, 11 broad jump). Houston did not have a decorated career at IU, but did average 5.4 yards per attempt and tallied 25 TDs over his 3 years in Bloomington. He brings value as a receiver and as a returner, and will leave dents in defenders trying to tackle him.
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Round 1, Pick 1: Auburn OT Greg Robinson, 65 332 lbs
I'm fine with Robinson at #1. Probably safest value pick at a position of need.
Round 2, Pick 33: Washington State S Deone Bucannon, 61 211 lbs
Do you see him replacing Jungle Boi? or playing next to him?
No problem with the player but not sure of the fit and the priority at that position.
Round 3, Pick 65: Alabama QB AJ McCarron 6'3" 220 lbs
Not a huge fan of McCarron, but all the QBs have warts so you've got to kiss one of the toads I guess.
Round 4, Pick 101: Iowa TE CJ Fiedorowicz, 66 265 lbs
I like Fiedorowicz. Again, feel there are many other places that need help before TE though.
Round 4, Pick 135: Duke CB, Ross Cockrell, 6 191 lbs
We need a CB in the draft and Cockrell is a decent one.
Round 5, Pick 141: UCONN ILB Yawin Smallwood, 6'2" 246 lbs
Really like this pick. Big need and a good skillset. My favourite pick of your draft.
Round 6, Pick 177: East Carolina OLB Derrell Johnson, 62 257 lbs
Don't know much about the guy, but we need edge rushers, so sure.
Round 6, Pick 181: Cal DE DeAndre Coleman, 6'5" 314 lbs
We need some bodies on the DL so this works.
Round 6, Pick 211: Arkansas State NT Ryan Carrethers, 6'1" 337 lbs
I like this pick too, need that guy in the middle.
Round 7, Pick 216: Vanderbilt OT/OG/C, Wesley Johnson, 65 297 lbs
Good player this late in the draft.
Round 7, Pick 256: Indiana RB/KR Stephen Houston, 511 225 lbs
Again, not a prospect I'm across but fills a need so seems good.
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Hate this draft. Another safety in the second round on top of the 2 safeties we've already signed? McCarron as your QB? Not a fan at all with the first 3 picks, hope Rick Smith can do way better.
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
As for McCarron- we are not sold on any of the first round QBs. Better to upgrade the line, and take a shot on one of the mid-round guys. Whoever wins the TC battle between the drafted QB, Yates, Fitzgerald, and Keenum gets the start, and will be protected by an upgraded line. If one of them steps up and looks like a starter, great. If not, then we look again next year, but have an upgraded line to give the new QB.
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Except, for the newbs it would be nice if you'd divulge who exactly the 3 Amigos are.
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Overall a really nice job guys. :fingergun:
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
i LOOOOOVE this draft. beautiful. perfect. 11 wins next season.
i question one thing however, how likely are each to be there? mccarron, fiedorowicz, smallwood, and carrethers are names that come up in mocks around the league pretty often. i'm wondering if they wont go a round (or two) higher than projected. yall seem to be taking some liberties with how late several guys are taken.
forgive my responses. i'm seeing this mock as "too good to be true", so please take my doubt as a compliment.

Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Trust me great pains were built in to keep it realistic as possible, that included tearing down & starting completely over more than once :strangle:
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Has Smallwood really fallen that far ?? He was thought to be a 3rd round or so prospect not too long ago.
I wouldn't complain about this haul , solves a lot of issues. Might make them a playoff team if one of the QB's steps up.
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Is it the injury that's pushed him down ?? Or the lack of ideal build for an ILB ??
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
I'm not a fan of drafting a safety in the 2nd round. Clemons is a good FA addition and I like Swearinger's potential. SO MANY needs on this team that I think we'd be better served filling another hole in a different position. Thats really my only complaint.
Good job overall fellas.
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
I love the draft. Fantastic work guys. Love all of these guys with the exception of McCarron, but I understand the pick.
But I do agree that some liberties were taken with who was available at each selection. Buccanon and Fiedorowicz are not likely to be available at those spots, but it is possible so those aren't too outlandish.
But I just flat out don't believe that Smallwood, Coleman, Carrethers, and W. Johnson will still be available when you have them being selected. Just my opinion though. Like I said, I absolutely love the draft.

Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Greg Robinson- top tackle prospect worthy of #1 overall fills huge need.
Deone Bucannon- 1st/2nd bottom 1st top of 2nd.
McCarron- 3rd/4th QB with size & pedigree always exceed expectations.
Fiedo- 3rd/4th rd. probably middle 3rd IMO
Cockrell- 4th/5th rd. again this is a deep class
Smallwood- 4th/5th rd- good football player with poor forty
Johnson- 6th/7th not invited to combine
Coleman- 5th/6th rd. group consensus
Carrerthers- 7th rd. stock has fallen but BB faith carried him
Wesley- 6th/7th late rd. developmental tackle who may kick inside
Houston- 7th/undrafted has talent, outstanding pro day really might help him get drafted?
In summation Three Amigos played the game fairly, addressed OL with two picks starter/back-up, two DL both back-ups, OLB depth, Secondary starter/possible starter, TE possible starter, back-up RB & of course franchise/developmental QB. would have liked to add one of this crops fine WR's too but just wasn't as big of need as others. Thank You :)
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
Re: 2014 3 Amigos' Mock Draft
I'm down with any mock that includes Bucannon. He might be my favorite player in this draft. His stock is starting to heat up though.
I think he has a legit shot to go in 1st round ahead of Calvin Pryor and possibly HCD.

I spent too many hours here!: The Play Area at Godstowe
This is where all the kiddies use to run around day in and out. I had to sit on these picnic table benches and watch them, talk with them, cuddle them etc... Not always the most pleasant but it was great sometimes.
Great in the Summer, horrid in the winter.
I use to time the girls to see how fast they could get across the apparatus.....Tiggy usually won!

Walker House: My Room
This is my room, I'd say it was pretty nice, don't you think. It saw a lot of visitors......(a few reckless nights, a few drinking parties, birthday decorations, trick or treating, endless TV watching (there's not much to do in Wycombe.....haha)
My decorative ways were wicked.....lots of pictures and stuff to look at - tacky but cozy....

Godstowe School: My Workplace
I spent everyday minus weekends at this school aiding in the classrooms, covering teaching, coaching athletics, supervising ect. Lots of good times and bad. I miss most of the girls that I taught but I plan to visit them when I return in April.
Richest Prep School in England. Very posh and very snotty little girls (until they get to know and love you)

My Villa for a Year: GODSTOWE SCHOOL - Destination Home!
I lived in a room in a boarding house filled with 30 little girls! I was woken every morning at 6:30 to the sound of screaming and slamming doors. I HATED THOSE STUPID FIRE DOORS! After living through all that noise (not to mention being right next to the main street of Amasham Hill) I could deal with anything.
I had a lovely room in comparason to the other girls working at the school. Some of their rooms were like shoeboxes (sorry Jess & Gen) At least I had a brand new TV and water basin in my room. Didn't spend much time in it though - during the better parts of the year.....
My house was located on the school grounds so it was on beautiful grounds. I would often go for runs on the property or play tennis on one of the three courts. They also had a basketball hoop which I put to use (it hadn't seen a ball....EVER)
I spent everyday outdoors on the kids area supervising.
I do not wish it upon anyone to live in a boarding house. (especially when you have a crazy house mistress running the place with an iron fist)

... this is the closest you will ever get to Jake Gyllenhaal's lips.
and thus begins the shouting.
You know someone has bought this poster and has hung it up on their bedroom wall, practicing making out like an 8th grader.
It looks like a plausible one sheet for Inherent Vice.
Speak for yourself. I still plan to be closer.

Can we talk about how great the poster and the trailer for this movie are?
Jake Gyllenhaal looks fucking INTENSE in Nightcrawler; he's really been doing great work lately... if he keeps it up maybe one day we'll forget all about Love And Other Drugs and Prince Of Persia...
Ivonne - ;)
Ulrich - i dont want to forget Love & Other Drugs if only for the gratuitous nudity
tom - do you have cameras in my apartment? i'm calling the police
Weird, I agree with almost every comment so far. ;-)
One day... one day, I will be closer. I can just tell.
i feel like this looks like the best trailer so far this year. Gyllenhaal is going to be in demolition by jean marc valle and knowing JMV, Gyllenhaal will be incredible. Plus Naomi Watts might join that movie sounds like the real deal.

Picked up the car at our friends, the Meadors. Hitting the road for Atlanta. Wow, it's been a whirlwind expedition! Feels like we've been gone for months.

No sugar coating or painting false pictures for strangers. We got one another and it was quite a beautiful thing. In fact, I can easily say that if you were to take the epitome of beautiful, strong and empowering women, the traits of these gems combined would be just that. I'd like to bottle them up and take ...

This is the second Santa I have purchased. I own the Karen Didion Santa with cookies and wine. I bought this one for my mother as a gift since she loves to cook. It is made very well and is an impressive gift to give as a display keepsake. She loved it and displayed it on her large kitchen island! I hope that wine enthusiast will carry more options of these Santas in the future!

Former Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding is to join the cast of Coronation Street.

Producer Stuart Blackburn said:
"Sarah is proving to be a gifted and exciting actor and I'm absolutely delighted to have her on board, the viewers are in for a treat as her character will be right at the heart of a massive new story for the Barlows."
Sarah Harding said:
