There has never been a proven case of CWD spillover into humans, and that is still true after a sketchy report from the University of Texas Health Science Center that you may have seen this week. Here's our response. deerassociation.com/nda-urges-deer…

So, a medical student's poster project finds its way into an online Neurology journal, complete with misleading headline. From there, straight to the tabloid news with even more shocking (and false) headlines. Outdoor Life's Katie Hill got the receipts. outdoorlife.com/conservation/h…

According to Erk Russell, Clemson was known as “Clem” at the time of its founding. They added “son” later. “S” for chivalry “O” for honor “N” for knowledge Go Dawgs!

Bumper stickers getting expensive y’all 😅 #GoDawgs #GoGriz #GoQuakers
