He is a Clemson graduate, when he was a freshman they sent a news crew to do a story on him. He told the reporter respectfully that he should interview a freind of his, who had lost his dad in the gulf, his moth had cancer and he had done better on a test the week before. Richie said he had it easy comparatively, and he was trying to do as good in school as him.
