Thanks for posting. This guy will always be an icon of the University. He loved the team and he loved life---sometimes a little too much, but I enjoyed seeing him play and there was no combination more pleasing to the eye than the Garcia to Jeffrey one. The games he mentioned..Old Miss, Alabama, Florida were the epitome of what we all want from Gamecock football! Heading up the first two of five Clemson victories was pretty cool too.
As time has passed, most look at him fondly. There's still the hard cores who like to act like they were actually on the football team and personally involved. He made some immature choices, but many players who did worse continued to play at their Universities. Hyman was given way too much authority here. When he had none at A&M we could see how much credibility he had..pretty funny.
I enjoyed his articles in SDS this year..and the Ask Stephen segments. He's not a fake, he was, is, and always will be a Gamecock, he was a member of that core of players who change the direction of Carolina football, and I wish him all the best.
