COLUMBIA, S.C. -- South Carolina coach Lou Holtz wants to give "Pops" a chance. He's waiting on the NCAA to agree.

Holtz said Monday 39-year-old walk-on receiver Tim Frisby, nicknamed "Pops," will get to play for South Carolina this season once his eligibility is approved by the NCAA Clearinghouse.

South Carolina athletic spokesman Kerry Tharp said the review of Frisby's academic work is standard and the school expects no problems.

Frisby recently retired from the U.S. Army, where he was a Ranger-qualified military man with the 82nd Airborne. He served in Desert Storm and during the Kosovo conflict. He joined the Gamecocks during winter workouts and was invited back with the club after fall camp.

Frisby got to dress with the team for the Georgia game on Sept. 11 but did not play.

Tharp said there was no clearinghouse when Frisby finished playing at Allentown Catholic High in the mid-1980s.

"There wasn't even college boards when he graduated," the 67-year-old Holtz quipped. "He's back in my era. College boards, I thought that was back at the carpenter shop."

Good luck to the old guy, though.

Old - hell, he's my age.

ESPN did a piece on him before the Georgia game. The guy is a class act. The players seemed to look up to him as well. He said he does not want to go through life saying " Maybe I could have..."

The movie is Unnecessary Roughness, starring Scott Bakula and Hector Elizondo I believe.

Ah yes, the big bad Sinbad.

I thought it was a great movie. Who was that old coach. Not the head coach, but the other guy? His name escapes me as of this moment. He was seen during NFL PrimeTime where he went off at Michael Irvin. Hillarious stuff.

The Kansas City Chiefs select Tim Frisby.........

Carl Peterson was quoted as saying we needed a wide receiver because johnny johnson was aging.

I saw that. He "kicked" himself out of the starting job.

Saturdays game vs TTU should be an exciting one. If they both play to their strengths, it could be a 65-63 victory, for either team.
