I didn’t make much money coaching at Clemson, but I didn’t work as hard as these young fellows do either. I only had to lay sod in Memorial Stadium or clean up the locker-room.
When a farm boy from Orangeburg or Clarendon county, a steelworker’s son from Pittsburgh, a longshoremen’s son from New Jersey, or a boy from the “mill hill” in Spartanburg or Greenville got a scholarship offer, he was only too glad to get it. It was his ticket out and to an education.
These young coaches nowadays have to beg, cajole, babysit, and kiss the rear of 18 year olds who take special pleasure in jerking them around.
Robert seems to have a level head. His Mama, on the other hand, seems to be a damn fool.
Oops, I got a little mixed up here. You know I played football at Alabama with a leather helmet. I get a little confused now in my old age.
What you say? You’re dead? Yeah, I forgot that too.
the hell are you talking about frank?
I don’t rightly know. I’m sleeping on Cemetary Hill right behind the South Stands at Memorial Stadium.
Walk lightly if you come by, you might wake me and wife.

Experian is the credit-reporting and data-mining firm responsible for the heavily advertised “FreeCreditReport.com”. The company had issues with the FTC because of the essential duplicity of the ads. South Carolina and its citizens would be foolish to rely on Experian for protection of their personal financial data, as this article in Bloomberg News reports:

The data mining industry–which includes, in addition to TRW, Equifax and Experian, “Google”, “Facebook”, and many other venues on the web.
I know the word “regulation” is an abhorrent utterance on this website. However, SC’s hard-working state treasurer, at his scheduled symposium on “Fraud Detection and Prevention in Government Programs” Symposium on November 13th, would be wise to examine the extent to which the public’s personal (and governmental) information is scattered up in the “cloud” to be exploited, to be merchandised, by careless and unscrupulous vendors–whose business model makes criminal access to data possible, often easy.
Morons all. There is no unhackable system. have you heard of anonymous.
