Back before the war- coot girlfriend


Jan 14, 2021, 1:40 PM

While I was a student at Clemson, I had a cousin who lived in Cootlumbia who wanted me to date a girl he worked with. He described her as having the face of a Greek goddess and wasn't wrong by much. We double dated at the football game where Buddy Gore went over 1,000 yards for the season - my 1st game at the Roach . I couldn't celebrate too much since the other 3 with me were coot fans. We dated several times but the one thing this girl said that I will never forget was when a group was talking about Vietnam - she mentioned a guy who she said "used to be good-looking but he was shot in the ankle". I thought at the time that she was very shallow to judge someone like that. That comment really affected my feelings of self-worth for some time after sustaining even more extensive injuries than that guy - I remember a time when I considered asking an athletic girl out & backed out thinking she deserved someone who had no physical limitations. Wonder how that Greek Goddess did later in life.

Girls should be careful talking about a guy's appearance when 95% of their beauty can be removed of with a wet-wipe.

Oh , but I was over it not long after hearing that comment- just wondering how that attitude shaped her life long term

I don't speak Greek, but maybe "ankle" meant

something else(?).

I've read some of your posts and it sounds like you're doing ok, so I wouldn't worry about it. After all, she was a #### fan and they've been stepping on their ####$ for years. You've probably seen her at your local drive-thru and just didn't recognize her.

Thank you for your service my Clemson friend.

Go Tigers AND Stay Well Clemson Nation!

That stadium didn't look anything like the roach back then. One side around 1971 or so. I think Buddy graduated in 68. He was a frat brother.

Well, just proves (once again) the old adage: “Beauty is only skin deep. Stupid goes all the way to the core.”

(..... or something like that)
