I took the week off from going to college football games last weekend and took a friend’s van into North Carolina to pick up some apples and pumpkins for a fall festival we are having at our church. Midway through the third quarter of South Carolina’s game at Tennessee, I received an urgent call from my friend who works in the South Carolina Athletic Supporter Department.
He said that it was looking likely that the Gamecocks were going to lose to lowly Tennessee, and he had received a call asking for help. A little backstory – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was so irate over one of his players throwing a punch that he made the kid ride a bus home from Louisville.
