I started a new project for a client in Columbus, OH

Just finished the second week today. There is OSU crap ALL OVER that town and usually several people in the office will be sporting OSU gear. One fellow that sits near me in an open workspace wore his OSU pullover today. We haven't spoken to each other much, as he is not directly involved with the project. But today, he struck up a conversation.
He asked we where I was from and after I told him he asked kind of awkwardly, "Do they call you South Carolina or Marion?" (I've from Marion, btw). I guess there was some sort of inside joke that we was headed for but I couldn't resist...
I said "Well, seeing how I went to Clemson, they have been calling me National Champion, lately".
I'm sure this post didn't do it justice, but it was a riot.

Well I have not yet worn any Clemson gear to the office, but I always fly with the Paw. It is a rather large contract and I didn't want to #### them off right away. (I have worn an Orange tie, though.)
Speaking of flying, I fly out of a small airport (Florence) almost weekly. The TSA folks there know me well and it so happens that they are all Gamecock fans. We have always poked fun at each other about Clemson/Usuk, especially when the metal detector or "random selection thing" goes off.
Anyway, on my way home from Tampa, I ordered a 12" metal replica of the CFP trophy on the internet. It looks very cool, by the way, and it is surprising heavy. Well, I have been dreaming of putting that thing in my pocket and going through the metal detector. Then, act surprised like oh, that's just my national championship trophy.
Or just put it in my carry on, which is sure to show up suspiciously on the x-ray.

Yeah, I wanted to start the kickoff meeting by whipping out that thing and putting on the conference table, reminiscent of those "Black Rocket" commercials 20 years ago...

But my director talked me out of it.

Fever - nice chatting with you at the Charlotte airport. Man, you need to take that trophy up there in a similar briefcase next time you have a team meeting, start the meeting by showing this clip, and then pull that sucker out.

Please, please trophy in pocket every time you fly. We should make that our new. "$2 bill" where ever we go, when ever we fly!!! Need to find one about 6" tall so not too much trouble to carry around.
That would be pawsome ?? ?? ??
