Most surprising development of the off-season. OCanada is, in fact, not Canadian.

To be clear i was born in Rochester. I graduated HS in Niagara Falls. We played: Canadian football and Canadian schools in hockey. I had a lot of Canadian friends. I had a different screen name when laxpower started. I changed to OCanada as a reaction to some dissing of a couple of Canadian players on laxpower.

Ahh, always liked him back in the day. Especially when he’d be a bottle deep enjoying some music in Gamecock land of the wanna be USC.44WeWantMore wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:07 pm He lost his password and become Old Hopper, but I fear his senescence.

As a former clarinetist with the Blue Jay Pep band, he continued to enjoy the finest in music for decades.
I believe he eventually left Columbia for another city in the South, maybe Huntsville?
P.S. When I was in Columbia, I grew accustomed to 'USC', but I could never get used to 'Carolina'.

I had a job offer with a bank in Columbia a half dozen years ago and nearly moved. The girls are criminally underrated compared with many other SEC schools and I like the town a heck of a lot better but regardless of who came first it’s silly to lay claim to USC compared with the Trojans in LA. (When the CFO was taking me around, treasurer gig, I had “settled” on either being around five points or on lake Murray). There’s some town East/NE of Columbia that’s a major equestrian area my wife was interested in VC some debutante chicks she knew from years earlier (from ATl but she debuted in Greenville bc part of her family founded Furman and has roots up there). I’m an in town guy or want to be on water no o horse riding suburb for me.44WeWantMore wrote: ↑Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:44 pm As a former clarinetist with the Blue Jay Pep band, he continued to enjoy the finest in music for decades.

Hope he’s doing well wherever he is. Took my kids to Cape Canaveral a year and a half ago and Huntsville NASA is next up.

Yeah I’ve been through Aiken many times on i20 (was a banker to regional and community banks for a number of years) and did a lot between Lexington and the coast (Lexington, Columbia, Florence, HHI, Charleston, and throw in Savannah but half those banks are gone and SouthState is really all Centerstate Mgt and bore they just kept the SC charter over the FL one in the merger a few years back).OCanada wrote: ↑Sun Jan 15, 2023 8:26 amMy mother moved from Rochester to Aiken SC.

But this town was a suburb of Columbia to the the NE by 10-20mi. Not Aiken. Just looked it up-Camden

If you’re into SC history, on top of founding Furman, in the laws also had a printing company in one part of family, Evans & Cogswell (they are Cogswell) who printed confederate money originally in Charleston then moved it up to Columbi when the north as title bombed the armory off the coast.

My family, poor farmers on dads side from Savona NY and mother long history but from blue collar Wantaugh LI. Quite the mashup which is probably how I was raised in Binghamton which is basically what you’d get in a science lab if you merged WNY and LI…
