Are You Kidding???



Dolla' Bills, Yall....
If this picture is really a Clemson football player/recruit, this guy makes Garcia look smart. Well, maybe not smart, but at least Garcia just took himself down and maybe a local buzz....but this guy may be ruining a program.

This is a Post from an SC political blog. No way this guy is this dumb, and can Bowden be this careless/wreckless? Really? FJ
NEW TIGER FOOTBALL RECRUIT HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO

FITSNews - March 28, 2008 - We honestly haven’t seen a wad of bills that thick since the last time we looked at the special interest stash of House Speaker Bobby Harrell, who defended Clemson University the other day for nearly tripling its tuition over the last seven years while keeping a $140 million slush fund hidden from the legislature.

We were wondering what Clemson was going to do with all that money, and according to the website Brahsome, we may now have an answer. Brahsome was just one of several websites (including FITSNews) to obtain a picture of new Clemson football recruit Kenneth Page holding a wad of “straight from the bank” twenty dollar bills.

Page, who chose Clemson over North Carolina last month, posted the image to his MySpace homepage earlier this week but apparently it ”came down about as quickly as it went up.” Which makes it not unlike Clemson’s credibility lately.

Look, people. Either this 17-year-old kid has been washing a lot of cars this month (like, several thousand of them) or Clemson just got busted paying one of its “student-athletes” under the table …

Britney Spears, Gamecock Style...



Are We Witnessing Another Waste of Time, Talents and Treasures?

At the moment, I don't have time to throw much of a comment on this subject. I have to say though, a lot of wind was just taken out of the 2008 season's sails. With last year's 0-6 debacle, Garcia was the only positive buzz within GamecockNation. Now, I think most folks will expect a season not unlike 2007...

If we can win in the first part of the season (don't forget UGA), maybe Garcia will be ready for the hell, that is the last five games. I would hate for my first start to be against LSU...

Instead of bringing us the flair of Steve Tanneyhill, Garcia seems to be seeking the same legacy's of Demetrius Summers and Derek Watson....which went up in "smoke". For now, everyone needs to keep their 90's "Tanney'Tails," in the box..

On a real estate note, the Condo/Parking Spot Values around Williams-Brice, just took a dip....

All Real Estate Is Local...

Realtors confirm: National media fails to focus on local markets

COLUMBIA, S.C. (March 20, 2008) — According to the S.C. Realtor Confidence Survey, ninety percent of Realtors report that the national media is negatively influencing South Carolina’s housing market. The monthly survey is a key indicator of housing market strength based on responses from 316 real estate practitioners in South Carolina. The Confidence Survey conducted by the South Carolina Realtors (SCR) will provide further insight into the housing market and predict future trends by gaining feedback from the front lines of the industry.

Nick Kremydas, CEO of SCR explained, “The national media repeatedly reports on the doom and gloom of the housing market. The media went on and on about the real estate bubble, not realizing that all real estate is local. Through accurate reporting and reliable data sources, local media has the power to ease the fears that have been instilled in the general public.

“February’s housing figures show that South Carolina’s market is resilient to national trends. Despite lower sales figures reported by Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data from SCR, median home prices continue to remain steady and market conditions are starting to show signs of improvement

Columbia Honors Icon w/ Key to City...





"WHETHER YA LIKE IT, OR DON'T LIKE IT...SIT DOWN AND LOOK AT IT... CAUSE IT'S THE BEST THING GOIN TA'DAY... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Icons of X'ers; Michael Jackson, Cindy Lauper, Duke Boys, Luke Skywalker, Madonna, E.T. and Ric Flair...

On Monday, Mayor Bob Coble is going to give 16 Time World Heavyweight Champion, Ric Flair, a key to Columbia. Mayor Bob will also deem March 24 as "Ric Flair Day," in the Capital City.

My buddies and I loved Saturday mornings growing up. Sure, The Smurfs were cool and Thundar: The Barbarian was a badass, but we were really up to watch the NWA. The National Wrestling Association had the best tv hour of them all. It's biggest star, and most glamorous figure, was Ric Flair.

This guy couldn't fly through the air or lift 300lb men, but his personality (and robes) made him the king of the wrestling movement. Ric Flair introduced us to limousines, Baby Doll's and Space Mountain.

Tomorrow, The Natureboy will have a key to Columbia. Keep this in mind when you are cruising in Forest Acres or across the river, and for some reason can't get in...
