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

Bowl XXX, looked more like the backup
quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys than
the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh
Steelers.
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

points an adventure.
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.

enough for Michael Irvin. Explain how

Are you bored with your money,
Michael? Were the strippers not enough
for you, Michael?
The Ric Flair "To Be The Man, Ya
Gotta Beat The Man" Award has to go
to Kevin Greene of the Carolina Panthers
for thinking he could beat the man.
Kevin, you're a great linebacker, and

Ric Flair dominate the wrestling world

who thought Ohio State would defeat

Citrus Bowl, 1 p.m. Jan. 1.
Big ten #2 vs. ACC #2
NW vs. Tenn. or 'Bama
Since five of the Wildcats' nine wins
came by four points or less, you won't
hear NW fans hissing about missing the
Rose Bowl. You're likely to hear Volunteer
fans moaning about Memphis.
Cotton Bowl, 3:30 p.m. Jan. 1. Big
12 #2 vs. PAC-10 #2 or WAC #1
K-St. vs. Wash., BYU or Wyoming
The Huskies finished with a flourish,
but 13-1 BYU probably gets the nod if
it doesn't get an Alliance berth.
Rose Bowl, 4:30 p.m. Jan. 1.
Big Ten #1 vs. PAC-10 #1
Ohio State vs. Arizona State
The Buckeyes' collapse against
Michigan took some ot the air out ot this
matchup. Now, only ASU will be loudly
rooting against the Seminoles.
