Ghost Sounds: The Search for USC String Majors

You hear them at the Koger Center stage, and get a close glimpse of them in the University of South Carolina School of Music recital hall. You know there names, their instrument, and their tastes in music. In a way, you know their soul. But outside of the concert halls, they are seldom seen. Just where in the world are they? “We are practicing or working on theory,” Hunter Harris, a sophomore viola player, said. Harris, 20, is a music education major from Greer , SC. USC string players are a hard breed of Gamecocks to track down, and it is because they have one of the most, if not the most, demanding course loads in the University. “Music majors have to complete the most credit hours, next to Pre-Med,” second year violinist Haley Dreis said. “We're not necessarily loaded with heavy textbook courses, but we pursue a lot of our time and energy differently.” Dreis, 19, of Winston-Salem , North Carolina , is actually...

I'm SICK of Tim Tebow!

Image
I'm pretty sure all are aware that the Florida Gators have a QB by the name of Tim Tebow . The guy is a specimen: 6-foot-2, 240 lbs...can run over LBs, and complete passes, while running the spread option offense. He is also a humanitarian, a humble Christian, and a seemingly squeaky clean guy...and I couldn't be sicker of him. I'm sick about hearing about how great he is on and off the field..with every announcer and color commentator (mostly on CBS) prepared to get on their knees and give him what they think he needs. I've come to the conclusion that he is a pure system QB that couldn't function in a pro-style offense. The guy has a horrible throw that will get picked off in the next level: A long wind up, and unbalanced base, and a sidearm wobbler that can be picked off by even the worst pro-DBs. The guy is a fullback playing QB, and FB is where I expect him to be in the pros. A guy his style will not translate to the NFL. Also, this whole "perfect angel...

The Economy Falling is a Good Thing

Believe it or not, this recession/depression is a blessing in disguise. You ask how is this so? People are losing their jobs, homes are foreclosing, the auto industry is failing, Wall Street has tanked. How is this possibly good? I'll explain. An epidemic has been going on since the 1990s. Before that time, we worked hard, were the leaders in innovation, and where seen as the place to go to get out of the international ghetto. Now, we have competition in China, Russia, and even Brazil's export economy system. What went wrong? Simple. We have become complacent, lazy, and spoiled while our competitors have passed us by in job, innovation, and prominence. We need this to toughen up and rediscover our American tenacity and grit; The traits that got us to the top in the first place. A little story. I remember planting trees in the yard with my father, and he fell in the hole we were digging because, well, he is a little clumsy. Being a wide-eyed 16-year old, I asked why he did not ...
