He had an interesting childhood. To live his life would have given many people here a completely different perspective.

What doesn’t get reported: Dabo donates $1M of his own money to Clemson University, specifically to support the “Call me MISTER” program and breast cancer research. Dabo is one of 4 coaches in the FBS (129 total coaches, i think) that makes the effort to coach youth sports in his “Spare time”. Since you probably don’t…

Your kid would not be able to get into Clemson. Top 20 university with a strict admission policy. You do not seem the type that would spawn intellectuals.

I am saying that she has way more talent than almost all of the men they bring onto the set, to announce games, to do more prominent roles on the network. And they leave her to do the “women’s work” of announcing the death of their anchors and reporters. Just because she is a woman, she’s relegated to either reading…
