Coach Tesoriero looks like he could hand out a few arse whippings.

Frickin' guy was a beast of a coach. He was GM Sergio Galeotti's and Armani's first coach from 81-90 I believe he ended up staying that long if I am not mistaken. Coach T was brutal though - many a day it was that many of us walked off the practice field puking our guts out.

Coach T was the first European coach to demand we hit the weight room, we had curfews, we had a training table ... he did everything the American way and it paid off. I just wish we had made the money then that some of them are making today, especially when our exchange rate back then was always between 1600-2000 mille to the dollar.

We won the Italian super bowl my first year there and then they won it again the year after I came back to the states.

We had another Gamecock playing basketball in northern Italy at the same time, Zam Fredrick, so there was good representation by the Gamecocks back then and it was not uncommon to see Italian kids wearing Gamecock t-shirts etc.

There is more fine cooze in Milano, per square mile, than anywhere else in the world IMHO. Like Hollywood has actresses and wanna be actresses, Milano has models. Of course, that probably wouldn't matter to Tebow.
