COLUMBIA - He remembers standing on the campus quad as a freshman, grasping at big dreams and even bigger potential. The school - and much of this state - belonged to him. Soon, all of college football would follow.
Almost three years ago, Jadeveon Clowney embarked on his South Carolina career. To the superstar defensive end, it doesn't feel like so much time has passed. Clowney isn't quite ready to move on with his limitless future. He'll play his final college game when the No. 8 Gamecocks face No. 19 Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl on New Year's Day.
That hasn't stopped Clowney from reflecting on his time as the face of South Carolina's football program.
"My three years went by so fast, I really missed a lot of it," Clowney said after Tuesday's practice. "But, you know, it happens. I'm just looking forward to moving forward in life."
Clowney was asked if he got everything he'd hoped with his South Carolina experience. On the surface, it's not an easy question to answer.
The 6-6, 275-pound All-American seems primed for a remarkable pro career. Clowney's astoundingly low production his junior season - just three sacks, 10 fewer than last fall - didn't change his place as the top defensive prospect in the upcoming NFL draft. It's the reason any student comes to college, to get the best job possible. Clowney's first job out of school will be the envy of his peers. Hard to call that anything but success.
Yet, these three years haven't been easy. Far, far from it. There has been adversity and controversy, almost unparalleled scrutiny. Clowney is polarizing, evoking extreme reaction on both sides of the emotional spectrum.
These college years were happy times for Clowney, yes. He still owns his school, and much of this state. He still has a smile that will bring many endorsement opportunities in whatever city he next calls home.
The past three years were also unquestionably challenging.
"I'm still maturing, becoming an adult, becoming a young man," Clowney said. "I had to grow up fast, put it like that. I had to grow up a lot faster than what people expect. Going into the league, people expect different things, maturity. So, just from a mature factor really, that's what you have to do - mature a lot better.
"I'm 20 years old. I'm young, but I have to mature faster than what other people expect. So, basically, that's what is was - becoming a man in college."
That's the perspective of someone who's arrived at self-revelation, no matter how many critics lined his path.
South Carolina defensive line coach Deke Adams has seen Clowney mature in the lone year they've spent together. Adams marveled at Clowney's patience while facing extra blockers, his refusal to let frustrations conquer him.
No, Clowney's numbers don't reflect much growth. Behind closed doors, with the way Clowney has led his teammates this season, Adams couldn't ask for more.
"I think he's done a great job," Adams said. "You don't see many players that have been double-teamed and triple-teamed and run away from as much as he has this year, and I think he's done a great job with it. I think he's handled himself well. I think some of the things throughout the year were blown out of proportion with the way it happened. He's been great for us here, and we're happy to have had him here at South Carolina."
No instance stands out more than the whirlwind following South Carolina's win against Kentucky earlier this season. Clowney missed that game, resting with a strained muscle near his rib cage instead of playing through pain against the SEC's worst team. Immediately, there were doubts Clowney would finish the season. On television, pundits claimed he had quit on his program.
Except, of course, Clowney returned the next week. He's missed only one game since, when many of South Carolina's stars were rested against Coastal Carolina. While his sack numbers haven't risen, his impact on the game is unquestioned.
Now, Clowney has one more game to play. With an NFL future ahead, it could be hard to focus on the last football game he won't be paid to play. Clowney isn't in a rush to leave South Carolina - and the past three years - behind.
"I'm going to miss it," Clowney said.
"I'm ready for it, though. Just coming along with the team, ready to do something big, finish the season off with 11 wins again. I'm looking forward to (the bowl game)."

Posted on 05/08/2006 6:19:05 AM PDT by Republicanprofessor
A Redmond glassblower who was sued for copyright violations last year by artist Dale Chihuly fired back in court Friday challenging the integrity of Chihuly's art and the public's impression of how it's created.
Among other things, Robert Kaindl alleges in a counterclaim filed in U.S. District Court that Chihuly is not involved in conceiving, creating, designing or even signing a "substantial number" of artworks that bear his name.
(Excerpt) Read more at seattletimes.nwsource.com ...
Here are a few of Chihuly's works. Sometimes there is a division between fine and decorative arts. But these seem to be fine art to me.
Art ping #3 today.
Let Sam Cree, Woofie, or me know if you want on or off this ping list.
His work is teriffic. I saw a show of his stuff here in Santa Barbara, and then several of his major pieces in the Bahamas at the Atlantis Casino in Nassau. Beautiful fine art (IMO). Thanks for the post.
People who work with glass muses shouldn't throw stones......
I would tend to believe that a large amount of his work is not of his own making. He turns out that stuff like a mass production assembly line.
I know he's got a huge studio and a lot of people working for him. I would doubt he puts his hands on very much anymore.
Well, if I were Chihuly, I wouldn't have claimed the green thing.
...And then there was the story of the African lesser King who had his guys steal the throne of a rich king. He hid it in the rafters of his hut..
In the middle of the night, it fell killing him as he slept.
"Those who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones". :^)
Hmmm... I've also admired Chihuly's work, and while it is relatively distinctive and easy to spot... it would also be relatively easy for another artist to make glass that looks Chihuly-esque. I can't see how there can be a copyright, unless there is a question of branding and someone using Chihuly's name without permission.
I wonder what the details of the suit are.
I think his pieces are beautiful.
LOL. It is a bit like a sea creature gone all wrong.
LOL!.....good one!.........
Yes, some don't like that neon green color.
But look at the purple stripes, and the huge size of the work!
I can't even touch glass that big; it would shatter through shear bad luck.
Trademarking thought is tough. How many have looked at a wooden carved duck and then made copies. The value is in the quality of the work not in the design.
His "seaforms" are some of my favorites. I'd happily take the "green thing". :) http://www.chihuly.com/seaforms/selsea.html
There was an installation at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens - it was beautiful!!!! My wife and I visited it twice.
They currently have his work on exhiit at the Missouri Botanical Gardens - I haven't made it up there yet, but hope to this week.
Some of his work I like, some I find garish.
I'm near Tacoma and have seen a lot of his stuff, and the bridge of glass... I think most of it looks like a really bad dream.
Gorgeous stuff. I would not be surprised if much of 'his' work is actually produced by interns in his studio. By the nature of the medium, unless he physically controls the entire glass blowing process, those works are not by him.
However, it's his studio, and his vision.
this is not a Mark Kostabi
Chihuly is a hack. Can't stand his stuff.
If Chihuly can copyright glassblowing, could van Gogh have copyrighted painting?
"Gorgeous stuff. I would not be surprised if much of 'his' work is actually produced by interns in his studio. By the nature of the medium, unless he physically controls the entire glass blowing process, those works are not by him."
Read the article:
"Chihuly's studio has long acknowledged that the artist does not blow glass himself, relying instead on a team of glassblowers and hired contractors to execute his ideas. But the concepts, designs and final aesthetic are distinctly his, Chihuly and his associates have repeatedly said."
Chihuly is like many successful artists who mass produce their work, they rely on a studio to manage the output, while he oversees the design. It's nothing new, and it the's defining line between original art and a brand.
Studios have been used by leading artists to maintain and finish large ticket commisions for thousands of years - Michelangelo trained in one such studio on his way towards greatness. It's a good way of training young artists, employing lesser artists who might not sell work on their own, and letting a master free himself from drudge work to concentrate on his art. Granted, it dilutes the art, as a lot of Renaissance work had the central figures done by the Master, and the backgroung by his studio, but the work is still regarded as the masterpieces they are. Michelangelo, if fact, was an odd duck in his day for the periods he insisted on working alone.
Interesting case, but it's not over wether or not Chihuly made the works in question, it's two people accusing Chihuly of damaging their reputation in the market, while, Chihuly maintains they were selling works purported or implied they were by him.
If they copied pieces Chihuly displayed and sold previously, they lose. But, and this is the important part, if Chihuly can get a copyright on a look or technique, that's a chilling blow to artists, and can lead to one artist "copywriting" a style, like Impressionism, and barring other artists from working in that school or style.
And, for what it's worth, Chihuly's work is stunning.
Are you talking Columbus, Indiana? The local art contingent promotes him likes he's some god. But that's what artists do. His stuff is interesting as long as he's paying for it and not my tax dollars.
Yes, it's an interesting city. There is that group here that likes to think of themselves as avant-garde. I guess I'm not that into modernistic architecture and art.
all good points
Architects work the same way. Take Frank Gehry for instance.
Very little of the design is done by him. He critiques what his design studios mass produce in the form of drawings and models, he approves a design, and its developed into construction documents (Gehry does not do this, nor do any architects).
He could trademark his designs and receive copywright protection. In Gehry's case, his work is a brand as well. there have been legal cases of architects/developers suing other architects/developers over copying a design.
In the Chihuly case, the idea of taking another artists work outside of your studio, and slapping your name on it is troubliing. I would find it difficult to copywright a design like his, unless it was for a specific brand or term.
Beautiful. I've watched glass blowers at work - it is truly an artform.
He hasn't for years...he is missing an eye. He directs the glass making process.
Great post!
"The longer someone continues to produce via a particular technique, the greater the risk that the technique will be figured out and appropriated by someone else."
This reminds me of the product knockoffs that you see all the time in Walmart. Someone comes up with an innovation and a product that is really different and before you know it there are cheap clones all over the place. It's somewhat discouraging for the innovator but at least in the art world collectors do know the difference between originals and cheap copies.
I think you're right, as a creative person you have to stay ahead of the curve and keep moving forward. Best of luck with your work!
I watched it. I found the process interesting, but did not find the resulting works to be interesting at all.
Louis Comfort Tiffany of the copper-foil stained glass fame didn't do his own work. He did many of the designs and made many of the important decisions but he had scores of glass blowers and others working in his studio.
Even though he wasn't personally blowing the glass his work is instantly recognizable as his. He never showed his work the Atlantis Casino, the Bellagio or other venues of high art though.
Hell, I'm so jinxed, the damn thing would break if I looked at it too closely...
I know.
He directs the glass making process.
I'm not sure that buying a painting "directed" by Van Gogh is the same as buying a painting painted by Van Gogh.
My obsession with glass as an artistic medium renders me completely unobjective when it comes to Chihuly. I adore his work.

Set in the bayous of East Texas, this tells of the struggle to save an tiny
unspoiled gem of wilderness and rural living fro two separate threats. In one
plotline a boy named Chap helps his mom run a pie shop beloved by the locals
for the exquisite pies made from sugarcane of the swamp surrounding them. He
mourns his grandfather who imparted Chap all manner of lore. Now their way of life
is threatened by one of those greedy cartoonish developers who often show up in
this sort of story.
Unbeknownst to the humans, a pair of young raccoons are concerened by another attack on the swamp, in the form of a family of terrifing feral pigs crashing towards the famous sugarcane. these plucky little critters, Bingo and J'miah are the Information Scouts of the swamp. Their clever kin have served the swamp for untold generations watching for danger. When a crisis like this arises they must wake the Sugar Man, the legendary protector of the bayou-- part Bigfoot and part Paul Bunyan.
The folksy venacular will turn some readers away, it is laid on thick. Comparisons to Carl Hiaasen are inevitable. I fould that the denizens of Sugar Man Swamp also his the same sweet spots as Pogo and Margery Sharp's The Rescuers. There's a bluesy, rockin' rhythm and loads of humor, heart, and courage. Readers will be reminded that an ecosystem does include people as well as animals; that our history and family stories join with the turns of the seasons and the calls of unseen birds. --Reviewed by Chris of Compass Books, SFO Terminal 3
I know that this one has been out for awhile, but I finally picked it up off the shelf and I'm so glad I did! Did you know Jon Klassen illustrated it? Because he did and it's adorable and I love it. If you're unfamiliar with these books, they're about three children who are mysteriously found in the woods by a wealthy (and very proper) couple. The children, having been raised by wolves, are unmanageable and incorrigible and therefore require the help of a governess. Thankfully, Miss Penelope Lumley knows just how to whip these children into shape. This is a touching story about friendship and compassion. Also, it's quite funny! --Reviewed by Anna, Books Inc.

Oscar is an orphan. He was raised as the "hand" to a magician on an island where magic is all but lost to the people. Long ago, there were many wizards who used their magic to do extraordinary things. Now, few can use magic in the way that it is meant to be used. When something terrible happens to Wolf, the magician's assistant, the magician must travel far across the country in hopes of discovering what really happened to Wolf. When the magician leaves, Oscar is left to care for the magician's magic shop. However, Oscar is much more comfortable with plants and cats than he is with people. It isn't until Callie, the healer's assistant, comes to Oscar and helps him with his people skills. But when the city children begin falling ill and no one wants to know the truth, it's up to Oscar and Callie to discover what's really going on. This is one of my favorite books from last year and it's perfect for those rapid fantasy lovers. Anyone who enjoyed Harry Potter or Narnia will devour this one! -- Reviewed by Anna from Books Inc.

You must tell the insurer any change to;
1. Your address.
2. Use of the car, whether it's personal or business use.
3. Drivers of car. For example, if your son or daughter starts driving.
4. Any offences or fines.
5. Driving record (including any accidents, even if you didn't make a claim)
6. Modifications to the car. Changes to the transmission or engine, mag wheels or tinted windows.
7. Condition of the car. For example, rust, deterioration or any other damage.
More Tips:
1. Tell your insurer if drivers under 25 will be driving your car.
2. It helps to check if young drivers are excluded from driving.
3. You will need in most cases to list them on the policy & pay an additional premium for it.
4. Automobile premiums on your insurance policy are often able to be reduced. This is by a higher excess. The insurance premium may be cut considerably.
5. Cheap car insurance may often be at the risk of losing essential cover. Talk to your broker first before deciding which insurance cover is best.
6. Drink Driving will negate your car insurance

A proposal before the Aiken County Council would give each County employee at least a $1,000 salary raise without an increase in millage.
The proposal was presented by Councilwoman Kathy Rawls during the Council's budget work session on Monday.
The proposal would increase the salary range for Aiken County employees by 10 percent – a cost of $520,000. It would also adjust the grades in the Sheriff's Office, the detention center and EMS, at a cost of $378,000. Lastly, the proposal would assure every employee "at least" a $1,000 increase in salary, at a cost of $400,000 to $500,000.
Rawls said the three parts of the proposal are meant to work "in order" to give each employee at least a $1,000 raise.
"If they didn't get at least a $1,000 raise in the first two, they'd get it in the third," she said.
The total revenue needed for the proposal would be between $1,278,000 and $1,378,000.
Rawls wrote in the proposal that it costs the least to implement, and would have the biggest impact on the most employees.
"It can be implemented without a millage increase using monies from salary under run and other revenue discussed earlier," she wrote.
The proposal will be discussed and voted on at tonight's regularly-scheduled Council meeting, during which Council will also have the third reading for the budget for next fiscal year.
Council members and County officials have gone back and forth for the past couple of months exploring options within the $56.9 million proposed budget to fund salary increases. Aiken County Sheriff Michael Hunt has asked for a millage increase specifically for law enforcement. He proposed a law enforcement millage of 4 mills that could bring in a potential $2.3 million, equalling a 20 percent salary increase for Sheriff's Office employees.
"It will only affect those at the bottom (of the salary range), essentially," Rawls said on Monday, adding that it would get the starting salary for a sheriff's deputy up to $36,215. "... This doesn't totally solve our problem by any means, but it's a start. And we need to address it again next year. We can't solve it all this year."
Hunt agreed that it was a start.
"I think everybody realizes we've got to start somewhere. It's a step in the right direction," he said. "We'll take what Council gives us."
The final reading of the proposed budget will be held at 7 p.m. in Council Chambers on the third floor of the Aiken County Government Center, located at 1930 University Parkway.

I've been doing all sorts of crafts for most of my life. I love the pattern and structure of mathematics and how mathematics is interwoven with design and nature. I am inspired by color. I think one of the reasons that I've always enjoyed art and design is that I enjoy thinking analytically and transferring that into an artistic interpretation.
I enjoy taking what I know and creating my own interpretation. I hope you enjoy knitting my patterns as much as I have enjoyed designing them.
My goal is to provide a clear and well-written pattern that includes all of the information that you need to get a great result. The project might be challenging but that should not include trying to figure out the pattern!
You may always email me at email@example.com
In the late summer, wild blackberries ripen into dark purple sweetness. The best berries always seem to be guarded by thorns or just out of reach. The ridges in this pattern represent the challenges of berry picking while the berry motifs represent the rewards.
This cowl is meant to show off a self-striping yarn however the textural quality of the pattern will also look good in a solid or tonal yarn. This pattern is suitable for a yarn that can be blocked to show off the lace patterning.
This pattern contains both written and charted instructions as well as a blocking schematic. The lace patterning on this cowl occurs every row for 4 rows and then there are solid rows of purl or knit stitches in between each lace pattern set.
Due to the nature of digital downloads, this pattern is nonrefundable, please ask any questions before purchase.

The secret? Just grab a sheet of newspaper. Take an old newspaper (or any kind of paper or fabric) and cut it to the size of your drawer. Bring the cutout along when you shop for inserts. With the cutout as your guide, you can puzzle together a really close fit with the inserts and cubbies right in the store — no returns required.
Of course, there might still be some gaps left over, even after you try the newspaper method. In that case, use those gaps for odd-shaped items, like rulers. Or add a few adjustable inserts, like these from Axis. (Images: Gregory's Refreshed & Refreshing Home Office, Shutterstock, ContainerStore.com)

CITY COUNCIL yesterday held its first public hearing on an apparently rising crisis in Philadelphia - criminals disguised as utility workers knocking on the doors of senior citizens and robbing them.
Council's committee on public safety is holding hearings on a public-awareness campaign to get the message out to older folks to be more mindful before they open the door to just anyone in uniform.
Councilman Curtis Jones Jr., who chairs the public safety committee, said the most egregious impersonators are appearing as PECO, PGW or Water Department employees with a convoluted "need" to get inside the home. They then rob the victims, either by strong-arm or quietly, under the guise of doing work.

What Becomes of the Broken Hearted? is Alan Duff's fourth novel and the sequel to Once Were Warriors, published six years after the phenomenal success of the author's literary debut. The story likewise is set six years on from the events in Warriors, which, however, continue to cast their shadow on the lives of the surviving members of the Heke family. The novel's title, taken from a 60s Motown song, echoes that of the longest chapter in Once Were Warriors, "Jake and the Broken of Hearts and Spirits", and Jake is the main focus of interest of the story, but the first chapter immediately suggests that he is a changed man.

Skip to comments.Democrat: Please Don't Release That Document Showing We Actually Do Want to Confiscate Guns
Posted on 01/18/2013 2:42:20 PM PST by rustyweiss74
Late last night, New York Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin, one of the few Republicans with a strong enough spine to stand up to the new gun legislation, released the following statement on his Facebook page.
"Here it is. This is the video where I was asked to keep the Democrat proposals for the NY SAFE Act away from the public. This list was given to me by a colleague and it is not confidential.
This bill was an attack on the 2nd amendment and the Democrats clearly wanted to dismantle the work of the Founding Fathers. None of these amendments were included in the final bill thanks to us fighting back. I will not stand silent while these unpatriotic proposals are pathetically thrown at us a 11 oclock at night."
In the video clip (seen below), McLaughlin is prepared to discuss a list of original proposals from the Democrats regarding gun control. The list, much in the same vein that Governor Cuomo himself had discussed, actually proposed the confiscation of guns and clips
This is essentially a Democrat wish list for trampling the Second Amendment. Here is the video...
(Excerpt) Read more at menrec.com ...
We see it all the time with marriage-deconstructing laws by homos, who resist any amendments for religious liberty until they realize that they can't pass them without these exemptions.
He should have been asked "Since you haven't seen the list, why would you say that it shouldn't be released? Or have you seen the list?"
I am happy to see a few things here :
First, someone with an "(R)" in their name pointed out the tyranny, and fought it with a smile.
Secondly, the Media covered this.
I am very happy with how this has unravelled.
New York Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin has the list posted on his Facebook page too (available to non-facebook users) . . .
And we'll beg them to do it!
Just a little societal conditioning. By the time they're adults they wont even notice the razor wire.
I join you in your happiness. May this corruption keep unraveling.
Already working on getting out of the People's Republic of Maryland. Looking for a friendlier more conservative locale.
If I were a New Yorker, I'd have fun calling the cops on cops, who don't magazines complying with the law.
Come to Texas, specifically North of Austin. It's quiet and conservative. has it's problems to be sure but all in all not a bad place to be.
Here it is. This is the video where I was asked to keep the Democrat proposals for the NY SAFE Act away from the public. This list was given to me by a colleague and it is not confidential.
This bill was an attack on the 2nd amendment and the Democrats clearly wanted to dismantle the work of the Founding Fathers. None of these amendments were included in the final bill thanks to us fighting back. I will not stand silent while these unpatriotic proposals are pathetically thrown at us a 11 oclock at night:
1. Confiscation of "assault weapons"
2. Confiscation o ten round clips
3. Statewide database for ALL Guns
4. Continue to allow pistol permit holder's information to be replaced to the public
5. Label semiautomatic shotguns with more than 5 rounds or pistol grips as "assault weapons
6. Limit the number of rounds in a magazine to 5 and confiscation and forfeiture of banned magazines
7. Limit possession to no more than two (2) magazines
8. Limit purchase of guns to one gun per person per month
9. Require re-licensing of all pistol permit owners
10. Require renewal of all pistol permits every five years
11. State issued pistol permits
12. Micro-stamping of all guns in New York State
13. Require licensing of all gun ammo dealers
14. Mandatory locking of guns at home
15. Fee for licensing, registering weapons
what media covered this? All I see is blog.
I moved to upstate NY for a job about 20 some years ago from northern Louisiana, I will be retiring soon if it wasn't for my kids being in NY, I'd be loading up the truck and back to Alexandria I would go. I may go back anyways after I retire and convince them it's much better and to come along. NY is geographically beautiful it's just some of the people that make it horrible. That especially goes for the downstate liberals.
I retire 31 Jan; my highest priority too is to move back to Texas ASAP and away from this horrible state of MD!
Worried threats of confiscation might "dampen the enthusiasm for compromise..."? Really? Ya think? Where DO these people come from?
I had to travel to Chevy Chase last Wednesday. As towns go, Chevy Chase is supposed to be pretty good. I found it to be a liberal hell hole. Time to make MD a conservative free zone and let the state implode.
assault weapons
What they mean by 'assault' weapons, is to say 'effective' weapons.
They want our firearms to be Prius-like...
What they mean by assault weapons, is to say effective weapons.assault weapons
The Party of Slander systematically smears the rights of the people. What they mean by assault is actually defense. What is the estimate on the number of guns in the country - 100 million, out of a population of 300 million children, superannuated denizens of nursing homes, and adults? Many gun owners have more than one, of course, but youd have to think that there are 30 million gun owners.
And what is the number of gun murders annually? On the order of 5 per hundred thousand people, or 50 per million. 50 per million people, times 300 million people, would be something on the order of 15 thousand annually. So as a very rough guess, for every 15 gun murders there are 300,000 gun owners - or twenty thousand gun owners for every one murder in a given year.
IOW, for every gun owner who will commit a murder with a gun this year there are about 20,000 who will not. From this we can readily conclude that almost all gun owners get their gun(s) for reason(s) other than an intention to commit murder. Instruments to be used to assault" is what they are not. Naturally, therefore, anyone who wanted to oppress the 30 million adults who have guns and the 270 million people (to say nothing of posterity) who have not obtained guns yet but who retain the natural right to do so in the future would slander the manufacturer and the owner of instruments used almost exclusively for entirely legitimate purposes as traffickers in assault weapons.

COC led most of the game, but saw most of a 21-point second-half lead disappear in the dense fog that enveloped the valley, and the game came down to the very final play as CCSF tried to win the championship in the final minute of the championship game for the second straight year.
But when Joseph Ayoob's final pass of the game was ruled out of bounds, everyone in the stadium quickly looked through the fog to the scoreboard. It read 0:00, and the jubilant Cougars rushed onto the field to celebrate their first-ever California state championship. And after receiving their championship plaque, they were celebrating with their fans when another announcement came.
"We're national champions!" A euphoric Head Coach Chuck Lyon announced to his group of players, ratcheting the celebration up yet another notch. It was true; moments earlier JC Grid-Wire publisher Hank Ives had informed Lyon that College of the Canyons was indeed the 2004 National Champion.
"What a great team this has been," continued Lyon, who played for COC in the 1970's before returning as coach when the football program was revived in 1998 after a 16-year absence. The win not only gave COC its first-ever state and national championships, but enabled the Cougars to become the first JC team ever to go 14-0 for a season.
But it almost got away. CCSF scored a pair of touchdowns in the final 10 minutes to reduce COC's lead to a mere 7-points and drove to the Cougar 22-yard line in the final seconds. Then Ayoob threw a pass to Maurice Purify, who had caught the other two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Purify made the catch across the goal line, but he was ruled out of bounds along the right sideline. And on the next play, Ayoob threw to Chris Bryant, who also made the catch. But Bryant was ruled to be out of bounds beyond the back line of the end zone, ending CCSF's comeback bid.
Ayoob, who completed 22 of 41 passes for 386 yards and 4 TDs, was named the Offensive Player of the Game for the second straight year; he also won that award when he threw for 306 yards and 4 touchdowns, including a game-winning pass with 33 seconds left in CCSF's 2003 championship game win over Grossmont. The Cal-bound sophomore also rushed for 62 yards including a pair of scrambles that set up what would be CCSF's final touchdown.
Entering the game, CCSF had a rather imposing resume. Not only had the Rams won the 2003 state and national championships, but they had lost only 2 games in the last 6 seasons. CCSF had won its last four title game appearances dating back to 1999 and had held the JC Grid-Wire #1 ranking for virtually the entire 2004 season.
But COC wasn't intimidated. "Our attitude was 'we're winning this game'" said Miles. And early on, Miles' confidence looked to be very well-placed as COC jumped out to a 19-0 lead.
CCSF took the opening kickoff and drove down the field. Ayoob ran for 24 yards and threw to Lavelle Hawkins for 21 more to get the Rams to the Cougar 27. Then Ayoob threw to Ruben Jackson, who carried the ball inside the Canyons 15-yard line.
But as Jackson was fighting for extra yards, in came COC's Troy Nolan, who ripped the ball out of the CCSF receiver's hands. And COC's Jera'e Nelson fell on the ball at the 13, keeping the game scoreless and giving the Cougars possession.
From then on, for most of the rest of the first half, things just seemed to go the Cougars' way. Miles got things started by throwing to big TE Jason Lance for 10 yards and a first down. But what happened on the very next play was even bigger; Miles kept the ball and carried for a 37-yard gain. Miles would end up carrying the ball 18 times on the game for 74 yards, surpassing his previous total of 72 yards rushing for the entire season. Most of those yards came on quarterback keepers like the play that gained 37 yards.
"They just kept biting, so I just kept calling it" Miles said of the option play that became a staple of the COC offense.
But COC also pulled out some trick plays, such as a hook-and-lateral
featuring Tyrell Smith and Will Caldwell that netted 19 yards on that first
drive. And Caldwell flared out on a halfback option play moments later, though
he wisely elected not to throw the ball to the covered receiver downfield.
After another run by Miles that gained 6 yards, COC got on the board when Miles threw a 15-yard TD pass to Jason Lance. Lance would end the day as COC's leading receiver with 6 catches for 93 yards and 2 TDs, all in the first half. But COC had to settle for a 6-0 lead when the muddy field played havoc with the snap, hold and kick on their ill-fated extra point try. The ball skidded through the line and below the goal posts.
Still, COC had a lead. And the COC defense dug in on CCSF's ensuing possession, forcing a punt after allowing just 3 yards on 3 plays. Then, when COC got the ball, they again moved methodically down the field. Miles passed to Lance again and again, connecting 3 times for 53 yards on the drive. The last of these was a 26-yard TD pass that gave COC a 12-0 lead. The Cougars elected to try for a 2-point conversion, but Miles' pass towards a covered receiver went over the back line, keeping the score 12-0.
CCSF put together a bit of a drive on their next possession, moving the ball to the Cougar 40 on the strong running of Dallas Bernstine. But then Ayoob went to the air, throwing a pass towards Curtis Grant in the left corner of the end zone. And when the ball came down, COC's Ja'Vonte Holmes wrestled the ball away from Grant for the interception.
COC drove to midfield on that possession when Miles went back to pass. He was tackled by CCSF's Bryan Gabourel, who knocked the ball loose. Philip Humphrey appeared to have a golden opportunity to recover the ball for the Rams, but COC's Juan Sanchez managed to wrestle the ball away from him. (Or so the officials ruled – CCSF's Todd Beck was assessed a 15-yard penalty for arguing the call). Nonetheless the drive soon stalled anyway and COC was forced to punt. But even that ended up going COC's way as return man Jackson muffed Andrew Kearney's punt, and Nate Whittier recovered for the Cougars at the CCSF 12-yard line. Four plays later, Miles scored on a quarterback sneak from 1 yard out. Jason Tompkins' extra point was good this time, and the Cougars had a 19-0 lead with 9:59 left in the second quarter.
Perhaps the Rams were surprised by their early deficit, but they were anything but stunned. And when they got the ball back, they embarked on a 13-play drive that would eat up nearly 6 minutes off the clock and help turn the momentum of the game their way. But even this drive would hold frustration for CCSF and Jackson, as two separate touchdowns by Jackson would be called back on penalties. And though CCSF finally got on the board, they would have to settle for a short field goal by John Abrams.
After a 16-yard pass from Ayoob to Purify got the Rams near midfield, Ayoob went for the long pass to Jackson. However, as Jackson caught the ball and crossed the goal line, all eyes turned to the penalty flag on the field, which would negate that score. Then after Jackson caught a 16-yard pass and a personal foul penalty was enforced against COC, the Rams had the ball at the Cougar 18. A 12-yard run by Bernstine gave CCSF first and goal. Again, Ayoob threw to Jackson for an apparent touchdown, but again there was a flag on the field, negating the score. Finally, on 4th and goal from the 8, CCSF settled for Abrams' field goal to cut the margin to 19-3.
But the drive not only got CCSF on the board, it appeared to give them the momentum. COC punted without gaining a first down – actually, they punted twice after the first one was negated by a penalty – giving CCSF the ball at their own 37. After an incomplete pass, a 9-yard toss to Hawkins and a 2-yard run by Ayoob, the Rams went for the long ball. And Ayoob threw a beautiful arcing pass down the right sideline that Jackson caught right in stride for a 52-yard TD pass. On the conversion, Ayoob threw to Purify in the corner of the end zone to make it a 1-score game at 19-11 at the half.
When the second half began, however, COC quickly reversed the momentum. Miles began by throwing to T. Smith for 17 yards, and followed that with an 8-yard run of his own. After personal foul penalty on CCSF moved the ball to the 19, Miles handed off to Caldwell for 5 more yards. On the next play, COC's third running back, Brandon Clayton, got the ball for the first time. And he took it the distance for a 14-yard TD run to make it 26-11 and restore some order for COC.
And the COC defense also restored order, forcing a CCSF punt without allowing a first down. Angelo Jeffery's kick was downed at the CCSF 44, giving the Cougars excellent field position, and COC cashed in quickly to extend their lead. A 9-yard pass to Billy Omahen got the ball to the 32, and a 12-yard pass to Chad Garrett moved the Cougars to the 20. After another penalty on CCSF, the ball was at the 10-yard line. Three plays later, Miles scored his second TD of the game on a 4-yard run to push COC's lead to 21 at 32-11 midway through the third quarter.
That margin basically forced CCSF to abandon the running game, except for Ayoob's scrambles. But going to the passing game doesn't exactly weaken the Ram offense, as Ayoob would prove. A pair of short passes to Hawkins got CCSF across midfield, and then Ayoob threw a dart across the middle for Jackson. The CCSF standout made a dazzling fingertip catch as he crossed the middle of the field, then sprinted to the right sideline and into the end zone for a highlight-reel touchdown play.
When COC got the ball, they managed to drive to midfield before having to punt. But on the very next play, Ayoob overthrew a receiver along the right sideline and COC's Billy Maria made a diving catch for the interception. It was the second interception of the game for Ayoob, who had thrown only 6 all season before Saturday. And COC cashed in quickly when Miles threw his third TD pass of the game, this one a 15-yarder to Smith, to give COC a 39-18 lead with 13:35 left in the game.
But as NBA coach Rudy Tomjanovich (then with the Rockets, now with the Lakers) is famous for saying, "Never underestimate the heart of a champion." CCSF might have been down, but they weren't about to go out without a fight.
When CCSF got the ball back, trailing by 21 points in the fourth quarter, there was no more margin for error. But the Rams responded to the challenge, driving for a score to cut into the deficit. Despite a costly offensive pass interference call that nearly derailed the drive near midfield, CCSF covered 76 yards on 11 plays to make it 39-25 on Ayoob's 9-yard pass to Purify with 9:45 left.
As the fog got thicker and the air got colder, COC needed just one more score to regain control. And they needed to work on the clock. They did the latter to perfection, embarking on a 12-play drive that chewed up over six minutes. The strong running of Clayton kept moving the first down sticks while keeping the clock moving. And when the drive finally stalled at the 14, on came Tompkins for a 31-yard field goal that would all but clinch the win for Canyons. The strong-legged Tompkins is just about a sure thing kicking off the field turf at Cougar Stadium.
But this wasn't Cougar Stadium, and the field was anything but turf. More like a quagmire, actually. There were few blades of grass on the field, and those that were there were brown and buried in the mud. And on the kick, Tompkins slipped a bit (as he had on the two extra point attempts) and his kick went wide left, keeping it 39-25.
So CCSF had hope. They still trailed by 14 points with only 3:26 to play, but at least they had the ball and still trailed by only two scores. With Ayoob at the controls, it seemed quite plausible that the Rams could rally.
The first touchdown drive happened quickly. A 24-yard pass to Grant got the Rams across midfield after a 10-yard towss to Jackson had gotten things started. COC was only rushing 3 linemen, partly because Dennis Ellis was injured in the second quarter and partly because they had such a big lead. But the soft coverage allowed Ayoob to scramble, and even when he couldn't find an open receiver, he had plenty of room to run. He gained 17 yards on the next play, and 13 more on the play after that to give CCSF a first down at the 11. On the next play, Ayoob threw to Purify in the left corner of the end zone on a play nearly identical to the one on which Purify had scored CCSF's third touchdown earlier in the quarter. Abrams' kick made it 39-32 with 2:27 left on the clock.
COC lined up expecting an onsides kick, but CCSF (which still had all 3 timeouts left) elected to kick the ball medium-deep. COC's Billy Omahen recovered the ball at the 30. Then the Cougars tried to run out the clock, aware that just a single first down would probably clinch the win. Clayton gained 5 yards on first down. But he only gained 1 yard on second down, forcing a 3rd and 4. On third down, COC kept the ball on the ground, forcing CCSF to use its final timeout. But Clayton gained just 2 yards, forcing a punt. On came Kearney, whose kick traveled 32 yards before coming to rest at the Ram 30-yard line. The clock showed 1:57.
CCSF had faced a similar situation in the 2003 title game, trailing by 4 points in the final minutes and needing to drive 95 yards for a touchdown. Ayoob had come though in that situation, combining with Jackson on a touchdown pass that gave CCSF a comeback win and the championship.
At first, it looked like COC might stop the drive before it really started. Ayoob's first pass was intended for Jackson, but fell incomplete. His second, also intended for Jackson, also fell incomplete. And on third down, Ayoob was sacked by COC's David Stanton for a 6-yard loss. The Rams faced 4th and 16 with their season on the line and the clock running.
But Ayoob came through, finding Purify for a 22-yard gain on a pass up the middle. Then a pass intended for Hawkins fell incomplete, but at least that stopped the clock. Ayoob's next throw was to Jackson for 7 yards. Then Ayoob threw again to Jackson, this time for 9 yards and a first down at the COC 38. But time was winding down. Then came a 16-yard pass to Grant that got the ball to the 22 for another first down.
On the next play, Ayoob threw towards Purify in the end zone near the right sideline. Purify jumped into the air and made the catch, but came down just out of bounds. The clock showed 9 seconds left.
And on the game's final play, Ayoob dropped back to pass. Facing some pressure, he scrambled in the backfield in search of a receiver. Finally, he threw the ball to the back of the end zone. Receiver Chris Bryant, who had just entered the game due to an injury to Grant, leaped for the ball. He made the catch. But as he hit the ground, the officials signaled that he too was out of bounds.
The pass was incomplete. And the Cougars were the champions.
It was an incredible game featuring two extraordinary teams. For the second straight year, a battle of undefeated teams went down to the final play and proved to be a most memorable game.
For COC, Cory Miles had a remarkably efficient game, going 18 of 23 for 226 yards and 3 TDs passing while also rushing for 74 yards and 2 TDs. Jason Lance led Cougar receivers with 6 catches for 93 yards and 2 TDs, while Tyrell Smith added 5 catches for 42 yards and a score. Brandon Clayton rushed for 74 yards and a TD, all in the second half. And on defense, there were a host of standouts but none more visible than Tomi Halai, who constantly pressured Ayoob and was named the Defensive Player of the Game. Jerrod Perry played a great game with 13 tackles, and showed a lot of heart staying on the field despite an obvious leg injury in the final minutes.
For CCSF, Ayoob was both marvelous and courageous, passing for 386 yards and 4 TDs and rushing for 62 yards depite being knocked down repeatedly, especially in the first half. And he also led the big comeback, which came within the smallest of margins of winning another championship for CCSF. The marvelously-talented Jackson had a bit of a star-crossed day, catching 9 passes for 178 yards and 2 TDs but also losing 2 fumbles. He also had 2 TDs called back, or he'd have had an even bigger day. And big Maurice Purify (CCSF's 6-5 receiver) had a big game with 4 catches for 69 yards and 2 fourth-quarter touchdowns as well as a catch for a 2-point conversion.
All in all, it was a great game between two great teams. But in the end, it was the Cougars of College of the Canyons who prevailed, and they are the California and national champions for 2004.
