COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- "Pops" has gotten the green light from the NCAA to play football at South Carolina.
Tim Frisby, the Gamecocks' 39-year-old walk-on receiver, was granted his eligibility by the NCAA membership services staff, the school said.
Frisby is expected to be in uniform when the Gamecocks play Troy at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday night.
Frisby, nicknamed Pops by his teammates, recently retired after 20 years in the U.S. Army, where he was Ranger-qualified with the 82nd Airborne. He served in Desert Storm and the Kosovo conflict.
His playing status was on hold because of eligibility concerns with the NCAA Clearinghouse, which certifies the eligibility of college football players and was not in existence when Frisby graduated from an Allentown, Pa., high school in 1983

Send in the wooden horses, wherever they may roam...
I picking for the Trojans to be over the Cocks.
sorry...
You think they'll cover, eh?
:-)
but if they're not careful, the cocks can break the trojans apart and really make a mess of things...
I've heard that the Trojans' can be leaky at times on defense.
I feared this was some horrible new reality show oriented twoards the gays.
With this age factor, the 'Cocks could suffer a let-down. Hope they don't pull a disappearing act before they reach the end.
Well we´re living here in allentown
And they´re closing all the factories down
Out in bethlehem they´re killing time
Filling out forms
Standing in line
Well our fathers fought the second world war
Spent their weekends on the jersey shore
Met our mothers in the uso
Asked them to dance
Danced with them slow
And we´re living here in allentown
But the restlessness was handed down
And it´s getting very hard to stay
Well we´re waiting here in allentown
For the pennsylvania we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
If we worked hard
If we behaved
So the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real
Iron and coke
And chromium steel
And we´re waiting here in allentown
But they´ve taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled away
Every child had a pretty good shot
To get at least as far as their old man got
But something happened on the way to that place
They threw an american flag in our face
Well I´m living here in allentown
And it´s hard to keep a good man down
But I won´t be getting up today
And it´s getting very hard to stay
And we´re living here in allentown~ Billy Joel, The Nylon Curtain (1982)
The jokes are coming fast and furious over here!
Bet ya know that one by heart, Willie. ;-)
The Trojans will obviously break under the 'Cocks pressure.
Wait...what are we talking about here?
