Thompson is t

HUNT continued from page 6
volleyball, and women's basketball
team. 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

We all could learn from the
dedication of Mr. Thompson?a true
Gamecock fan in the good times and
in the bad.
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.
