State of the Hogs: The real story of Brandon Burlsworth's first year

FAYETTEVILLE — There is a great comfort level that Hollywood came close enough on Brandon Burslworth's story in the movie Greater. Script writers are always going to take some liberties. I have no issue with that.

I did chuckle when I got a release from a public relations man in Los Angeles touting the movie with a bad fact. His promotional fact sheet said coaches told Brandon he was “not good enough to get the opportunity to play.”

That is something that needs to be set straight. Burlsworth was a recruited walk-on in every sense of the word.
