Hyman Biggest Winner with Horn Hire
Having left first impressions of new USC men’s basketball coach Darrin Horn to the usual media buskers, some of whom attacked the hire ferociously before Horn ever arrived in Columbia, in hindsight the clear winner here isn’t just Gamecock players and fans, who got a terrific young coach: It’s oft-maligned athletics director Eric Hyman, who shone on the biggest stage yet of his career.
Opponents of the hire — and there were many given the fact that Columbia has approximately 300 sports radio talk shows competing for the same audience, not to mention the untold legions of disgruntled fans populating the approximately 3,000 web sites that cater to them — believed Horn wasn’t enough of a “name,” that other coaching candidates with more distinguished pedigrees were available and that Hyman, true to many fans’ perception of him, went for a hire on the cheap.
Of course, after an introductory press conference in which Horn essentially won over everyone who bleeds garnet and black, like so many premature ejaculations the responsible parties gushed apologies and took immediately to fawning over their new catch.
What struck me most from the press conference, however, was Horn’s admiration for Hyman, how Hyman was able successfully to sell South Carolina to a young coach with a future as bright as anyone’s in the game. It illustrated a passionate side of Hyman that, to this point, fans could only speculate about, often negatively.
Since he was hired on April 16, 2005, Hyman has been an enigma for fans. A UNC grad who was an all-conference football player under Bill Dooley, a coach who turned around the Tarheels’ football fortunes during his tenure, Hyman worked his way through the administrative ranks, including a stop at Furman where he earned his master’s and also was a successful women’s basketball coach at North Greenville College.

Even if he “shouldn’t be able to,” would you really want to force him? I mean, it’s really easy to take a bunch of photographs, all of them bad, if that’s what the photographer wants to do.
I’d think it would be great fun to do. What an idiot.
Chertoff should just get a grip - George W. & Co. is and has been undeniably the biggest threat.
US employers can all go fuck themselves. This whole country needs to go on strike and put the elite back in their place. I’m sick to death of those arrogant fucking scum.
I did…just giving my opinion…guess I should have said “I think that’s an obvious yes” or some such
and not be able to switch jobs, “indentured servants” of sorts.
Read Sever Ploker at Ynet News .com, he says the terror in Russia was orchestrated by Jews, since well before the 1917 revolution.
I hope he shared the honor with Kenji.
From the article: The famous Russian writer, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, says Ukrainian efforts to have the 1930s famine recognised as Russian genocide against Ukraine is an act of historical revisionism. “This provocative outcry of genocide was voiced only decades later. At first, it thrived secretly in the stale chauvinist minds opposing the “bloody Russians”. Now it has got hold of political minds in modern Ukraine. It seems they’ve surpassed the wild suggestions of the Bolshevik propaganda machine.permalinkfeedback | bookmarklets | buttons | widget | store | advertise WIRED.com - WIRED How-ToUse of this site constitutes acceptance of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy(c) 2008 CondeNet, Inc.

right, but that isn’t the point. some people would feel it would be ‘great fun’ to shoot a mormon wedding, or a muslim wedding, or a redneck-cousins wedding; others would be put off by them. shouldn’t the person be able to choose what they want to shoot and not shoot? should the state compel people to ‘not discriminate’ by taking whatever clients the state is arbitrarily trying to protect?or should it be up to you to decide what would be ‘great fun’ and what would be ‘not my cup of tea’?
Umm… if they don’t want to do the job for you, would it really be in your interest to compel them to do so anyway, even on grounds of non-discrimination? You’ll get work out of them that is mediocre at best.
that’s an obvious yes…it is your own business…you can certainly choose your own clientele.Besides, it’s the photographer’s loss anyway…with the advent of ever improving digital cameras…professional photographers are having a harder and harder way to go…
