The Pride of Mayfair

This college football weekend is unlike anything we have seen in over 10 years. I am glad that Georgia plays early so I can view these games but am some what disappointed by the fact that the overlapping of the games will prevent me from seeing most of them. As fun and entertaining as Saturday will be, we will not be able to see any of the most important game of the week. As irrelevant as South Carolina(1-1) vs. Wofford(1-1) may be, it is something very special for a particular individual and should be realized by all of us as well as many others. Williams-Brice statium is one of the most unique and exciting settings in all of college football. Some of us have experienced this first-hand. Eventhough the gamecock nation will not bring the same intensity or anxiety that they did this past weekend, the stadium is still soldout, the field still painted, the broadcasters in the booth, the cockabooses still vibrant, Cocky still in the cage, and 2001 will be blaring. Christopher Collins is not only a St. James and Benedictine graduate, which would make this occasion important enough, but he is a close friend for most of us. As much as we love college football, we more than others should realize how unique and special this is and how he will be experienceing something that will be uncomparable to anything we do the rest of our lives. Congratulations to our friend Chris and I can only imagine the joy that this will bring to one who will be looking down. Cocks 41 - Terriers 10
