About as common per capita as vegans in Texas, Republicans in Hollywood are having a coming-out party of sorts in Zucker's new movie, An American Carol.

So far this season, running backs sophomore Gino Gordon, and juniors Ben Jenkins and Cheng Ho have accumulated an average of only 106 total rushing yards per game. Expect more from Ho this weekend, who has played well in practice all week...
