Happy Birthday, Barstool!

On Sunday, Schiv turned 24. While he parties down on the other side of the planet, I'd like to join everyone at OIA and OITO-with the exception of Shane- in wishing BS a very happy birthday.

9 years ago Schiv and I were plebes at Benedictine. I couldn't really tell the difference between him and Cadet Hurley. He has since become one of my best friends.

10 things about Schiv:

1: He is a proud BC man. Not one of those guys who big-leagues fellow BC grads for 4 or 5 years and then come back and act like everything's cool. No, Schiv made trips to Augusta to watch the Cadets play and showed up at Tommy Cannon Court to root on the BC Cadets on the hardwood over many Christmas breaks.

2: He is a proud KA. He met some cool guys, and he hung out at Bourbon Street a lot. While the frat debate is yet to come, my pro-frat argument is based on Schiv in the Order.

3: His progression as an internet bully has been amazing. From the old GAVSV message boards to the blogs of today, Schiv has been an expert in scaring people as well as making them laugh and cry.

4: Smart/well informed/ practical. Such things will allow him to run a successful grass roots campaign to become Savannah's mayor in a few years.

5: He enjoys the good things about Tybee: the non-cracker parts of the beach, food from the Quarter, and frozen drinks at Tybee Times.

6: He does not like the bad things about Tybee: Gayna's.

7: He's resilient. As many times as Jack and Rick's team have beaten Schiv's team in 3-on-3 football, he continues to come back for more. One day he will be victorious. And he's comfortable knowing he'd beat their asses in tennis and soccer.

8: He was the inspiration behind the class of 04's historic victory against the class of 03 at the C-Lodge Cage. His lay-ups and being able to lock down Shane were keys to our victory.

9: He has good taste in women.

10: He loves to singa.
