We're hanging onto a better record than Clemson over here in Columbia, so I wouldn't say this story is the only thing we have.... :P

This is a great story, and what's even better about it is Frisby himself. This is a guy who's not only served his country honorably through 2 conflicts (as a veteran of the USMC who flipped on CNN shortly after getting out and seeing my old CO on the ground in Kosovo with my buddies, I can appreciate that greatly), exposing his family to the hardships of a military lifestyle (and it is hard, constantly moving, especially with children), and then he says that the other guys are heroes. And when he gets out, he doesn't take his military training and try and roll over to a civilian job immediately, but sucks it up and goes back to college to finish whatever he started. This is an all around good guy we're talking about here.

The sad thing is all the people who do just the same thing, but don't have their stories put up on ESPN and get totally overlooked. I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but there's a lot of men and women out there who do the same thing.

We're 1-3. I wouldn't be cockadoodling about having a better record just yet. :)
