HA! I had forgotten that one.
Now I will re-tell my favorite Furman Citadel Story. Someone (can't remember his name) used to call me the Sunday before every Furman/Citadel game and call me every purple tinted curse word he could think of (and there were lots of them). I waited until he was done and said "If I ever want to be cursed out by a The Citadel man, I will get in my car, drive to Charleston, check in to the Francis Marion Hotel...............and for get to tip someone":p
"Tough as a bearkat" was apparently a popular expression in Texas in the 1800s.
Wow, Jackrabbit cheerleaders..
