COLUMBIA, S.C. — Under the generous shade of oak trees in a parking lot across the street from Williams-Brice Stadium last Thursday afternoon, as many as 100 people mingled between a catered buffet and a trailer with an amply loaded bar.
Their host was Joe Rice, a South Carolina graduate (college and law school), a successful Charleston lawyer and a booster who in the last decade has, with his wife, Lisa, donated about $5 million to the Gamecocks athletic program.
Tailgate guests included an old friend who was Alpha Tau Omega’s treasurer when Rice was its president, the wife of a top South Carolina football recruiter and the 5-year-old daughter of a lawyer in Rice’s firm who could say on demand, “Beat those Clemson Tigers.”

Joe's a good guy and filthy rich since he won that tobacco lawsuit ... he should be coughing-up 25 million before all is said and done.
He's a good guy for an attorney as well.
His dang yacht ... sheeeesh, it's incredible. The coaches love him for it.
