University of South Carolina Football legend

There have been better football players at the University of South Carolina ... maybe.
There have been more colorful football players to wear the garnet and black ... maybe.
Combine the two -- skill and shenanigans -- and forget the “maybes.” Alex Hawkins stands alone in Carolina lore.
One scribe once borrowed a thought attributed to war correspondent Ernie Pyle and labeled him “as colorful as a tree full of owls.”
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Hawkins played for the Atlanta Falcons their first two seasons, and after he retired was their color commentator a few years. So, his was the first voice I associated with the Falcons when I came to Georgia Tech. He was quite a character.
