"The Blitz" SHAWN SINGLETON | In his book, Hie Counterfeiters, Andre Gide wrote," The most decisive actions of our lives.... are most often unconsidered actions." As I read that line and tendered what it meant, I decided I should use it as a prelude to giving out the J. Strom Thurmond Idiot of the Year Awards. First of all, I will start off by giving my first award, the William Jefferson Clinton "I Don't Know What The Heck I Am " Award to that androgynous, but cool, soul Dennis-Rodman. After all, who can pull down 20 rebounds a game in a wedding dress while styling his own hair and getting on His Royal Airness' nerves? The next award, the Frank Reich "Backup Quarterback of the Yeai* Award goes to Neil O'Donnell, who, in Super I M-TH 11-10 Fri.&Sat.l 1-1 920 Axtel Drive Cayce last chance to prepare fo the test Our last class for the January 1 Call 1-800-KAP-TEST or come by our office at 1717 liaumi J">'"' ijj/ij ''m \il,'' jpf ?\ '.

I hope Larry Brown remembers to put Neil on his Christmas list. Ifs the least you can do, Larry, because you're not doing much in Oakland. The Eric Wright "You Flayed Yourself Award poes to Jerrv Reinsdorf own or of the Chicago White Sox, who, after voting against the labor agreement, goes out and signs that quintessential nice guy, Albert Belle, to a five-year, 55million-dollar deal. This angered the owners so much most of them changed their votes in favor of the labor deal, and thank God for that. The Scott Norwood " Grace Under Fire" Award goes to the ever-reliable Courtney Leavitt, who always seemed to give Gamecock opponents excellent field position with his punts (just look rVnVwihi.* I H ^B /'.-. ji/ Mm W T IIIMv i | Monday All Day 18 exam date begins December 7.

A player has to make good kicks in pressure situations, and this was a game that could have decided whether we will play on or sit at home for Christmas Break. As a good friend and Carolina Alumnus, Linn Pitts always says,"You're not in Tennessee anymore, Courtney!" On the same track, the Hallmark " When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best" Award goes to Brad Scott for playing with our post-season lives by sending Courtney Leavitt onto the field for punts and extra points. Enough said. The Tony Montanaa My Game Is Cocaine" Award must go to someone who's got "dope" written all over him. A five-game suspension was not enough for Michael Irvin.
