If you want to continue to taste a Gamecock victory go see one of these sports that does not have the fan appeal of football, but are just as exciting. The most exciting may be softball, where pitchers like All-American Trinity Johnson hurl the ball at amazing speeds. With the small playing surface, the game is tense and exciting because any ball has a chance to get through to the outfield. One fan who never misses a game is a man named Charlton Thompson otherwise known as "He-suse." He is best known for his support of the basketball teams and even though current students may only know our team as a winner, they have had their share of bad teams in the last few years. Thompson told me that ever since the Carolina Coliseum opened up in 1968 he has tried to make it to every game. That includes men's and women's games. And the women's teams have had some even worse years than the men. His enthusiasm through the good times has been just as fervent as it 1 : : . ^ o & m l^talfirii ir yaiiuui Alternative to Bookst > accepted with Mash (803) 254-5330 1609 Blossom St. a://www.scsn.net/users/b e parking or walk from cai n (IBLC!

And now after a long absence I would like to give away an ITK Gameball and Goofball to those that J _ il * i.L _ 1 J aeserve inem in uie woria 01 sports. This ITK Gameball goes to Nancy Wilson. The former USC women's basketball head coach may only be remembered by her lack of success in the SEC, but she had some great years prior to that time. She cleaned up.a women's., basketball program that was desperately needing it. The ITK Goofball goes to the NBA officials who thought that they could pull one over on the NBA and the IRS. These officials would receive their first class plane ticket to go to their next ball game and take it to the airport the day of the flight. Once their they downgraded their flights to coach and pocketed the refunded money. Once the NBA and IRS caught on the officials were soon out of a job, and most likey will be behind bars. |R W ?? wk |M7A ' with purchase of 25 personalized graduation announcements... $3975 + tax.
