A Tuohy family/Michael Oher reunion

sean tuohy michael oher

If you've read the "The Blind Side" or watched the movie adaptation, you'll appreciate the news that Sean Tuohy Jr. appears headed to Baltimore for college. Tuohy was part of the family that took in a young Michael Oher, giving him a chance to succeed in school -- and football. The movie closes with scenes of the NFL draft, when Oher is chosen by the Baltimore Ravens.

So there's a certain tidiness to the young Tuohy's announcement that he has verbally committed to play basketball at Loyola University, just a few miles north of the Ravens' stadium. Let's hope that Tuohy and his adoptive big, big brother can stay in the city together for at least a few years. Pro football can be a ruthless business, but these two -- and the rest of the Tuohy family -- deserve some time together. What better place for family reunions than Baltimore?
