upon by the school’s sports information directors and released by the
league office. The all-academic team consists of 11 student-athletes
that have earned a 3.2 cumulative grade point average or better and are

Wager on Clemson-South Carolina turns deadly
Lexington County Sheriff’s
Department detectives charged a Lexington man with murder after
they say he fatally shot another man Saturday with a
high-powered rifle during a dispute about a bet the men made on
the Clemson-South Carolina game.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts
said detectives charged James Walter Quick, 42, with murder and possessing a
firearm during the commission of a violent crime, according to a report by
WLXT-TV-19.
Quick was being held at the Lexington
County Detention Center on Sunday.
Lexington County Coroner Harry O.
Harman said preliminary results of an autopsy that was performed Sunday on
the body of Richard Allen Johnson, 43, show that Johnson died instantly
after he was shot once in the chest with a rifle.
Investigators say Quick and Johnson,
who are good friends, bet $20 on the outcome of the Clemson-USC football
game. Quick bet on USC winning, while Johnson bet on Clemson.
Metts say after the game ended, Quick
and Johnson began arguing about their bet on the football game while they
were outside of the house. Authorities believe the two had been drinking
beer all afternoon. Investigators say that during the argument, Quick went
to his car and retrieved a high-powered rifle that he normally uses for
hunting.
Quick then turned towards Johnson and
fired one shot from the rifle at him, striking him in the chest.
Shula
era comes to an end at Alabama
Alabama athletic director Mal Moore has
announced that Mike Shula will not be retained as football coach. Shula led
the Crimson Tide to a 26-23 record overall in his four seasons (2003-06) as
head coach.
Shula, who was named the 26th head
football coach in university history on May 9, 2003, led Alabama to a 6-6
record this season. The Crimson Tide is bowl-eligible this season, but it
has not been determined if the team will receive an invitation to a
post-season bowl game.
Assistant head coach/defensive
coordinator/linebackers coach Joe Kines will assume the role of interim head
coach.
