José Valdez IV is a thrice married, tequila drinking, conflicted Presbyterian with a (minor) criminal record. He is infatuated with Salma Hayek, has had numerous Bigfoot sightings, and is somewhat of a stalker of Ole Miss Basketball coach Andy Kennedy. In other words, he's just like any other guy. The Thoughts of José Valdez IV includes various essays on Ole Miss sports and the many misadventures of José as he patiently awaits the first SEC football championship of his lifetime.

"Of the thousands of readers/posters we have on The Ole Miss Spirit web site, nobody's offerings are anticipated or enjoyed more than those of Jose Valdez. In fact, our staff is jealous. Our subscribers like him more than they like us." Chuck Rounsaville, Publisher of The Ole Miss Spirit

"Every fan base should have a fanatic like Jose Valdez IV. Jose's ability to somehow relate his hilarious tales of his life - from his exploits with his buddy Paco, his nasty run-ins with tequila and his (lack of) relationship with the wife whose name shall not be spoken - to his addiction to Ole Miss sports is not only incredible but also something we all look forward to reading. To say that Jose's style is unique would be an understatement. To say that it's funny wouldn't be doing it justice." Neal McReady, Senior Writer, RebelSports.net
