While this a week full of politics, the entire crackerjack staff of Voting under the Influence takes a moment to pause and reflect upon the passing of Willie Varner. Varner was a longtime legendary coach of Woodruff high school football. Varner's tenure got him ten state championships. Varner's career also resulted in landing him among the top ten in all the coaches of high school football in the United States in career wins.
In short, Coach Wilie Varner was an icon in the upstate who shaped the upstate culture and the lives of hundreds of young men who played under his coaching. The crackerjack staff members of VUI recognize the achievement of Willie Varner and offer sincere prayers and sympathy to Varner's family and friends and players who called him "coach." Willie Varner was a South Carolina legend.
One less Republican in the state. Amen.
ReplyDeleteActually, coach was a Democrat, you moron.
ReplyDeleteAs a Woodruff High School graduate where Coach Varner served as my Head Football Coach, Athletic Director, and Assistant Principal, I have the utmost respect for him. He was a great coach and a wonderful man. You should know the man before make callus comments on someone's blog.
ReplyDeleteSheheen I am amshamed to be a Democrat because of your horrible comment. I know that you will not care that anyone was terribly offended so please go back to your generic beer, broke down doublewide, and toothless wife (if you are even lucky enough to find a female that can stand your stench) and I hope when you kill over we don't see an idiot posting One less jackass in the state ... but we probably wont because people like you cause small ripples in life and once gone usually forgotten within hours!!! (no offence to any other double wide dwellers, generic beer drinkers and toothless women all over the world)
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt Vincent Sheheen claims the support of someone like Sheheen is the man. Seems like it likely one of those SCRG folks. McCarty, bring back moderation.
ReplyDeleteThis page is about the passing of a GREAT man, and you all want to argue about politics. Get the hell over yourselves and get a life. Geez, show some respect for the man as he was. He was a legend in his own time.
ReplyDeleteWho the hell was this cracker? Did he vote for President Obama. That would redeem him.
ReplyDeleteBrian, you started in paying tribute to a great man in South Carolina. I am afraid that your open comments policy turned that into a circus of deranged people on the comments section. I will join you praying for Coach Varner's family. I also pray for those lost souls who commented here with no regard for the deceased or his family. They need prayer and counseling. It burdens my heart to see such people comment so. God loves them. I wonder if they know that.
