Folks, we all know that football is king around these parts. What we sometimes overlook, in our quest for the perfect season, are the unheralded local sports heroes, heroes that hail from lesser-known sporting arenas. With that in mind, I've decided to start awarding one local sports hero per month the recognition he or she deserves. My winners will come straight from the sports pages of the Greenville News. Without further ado, Mind of a Gamecock readers, I'd like to present you with the winner of the first Upstate Sportsman of the Month Award...........Mr. Reid Sherard.
Late last month Reid killed himself a 400 lb. gator at Lake Moultrie, a mighty feat, of which most of us can only dream. I would like to personally congratulate Mr. Sherard, and, God willing, one day meet him and shake his hand. Everyone give Reid a round of internet applause. Now let's just hope Reid isn't a South Carolina fan. Otherwise, it might be the last win he experiences over a Gator for a long, long time. Congrats, Reid, you earned this.

We should all go gator hunting. Appearently they're starting to become more common around the midlands. Cool. Just what I wanted to hear.
You know you're a little drunk when you fight a 400 pound gator to the death. But DAMN. You have to be absolutely wasted to kill one. My hat's off to him as well.
What is this Ried Sherrad shit? What is this bullshit? The Gamecocks beat a team that beat UF the week before-there has got to be some good MOAG...
Hell, I talked to a guy last night that said he knew for a FACT that the Gamecocks would beat Kentucky this weekend-I told him he didn't know that for a fact, that it was impossible to know stuff like that...Dude, was going to bet me 100 bucks that he actually knew it for a fact-but he was really drunk, and he was really just trying to bet on the outcome of the game...
Anyway, listen up owner-get off your ass and get on those message boards and start posting some funny shit-
I didn't sign up for this Ried Sherrad alligator shit-
Come on dude, what the hell are we paying for?
