Cremins article from Post & Courier

Cremins: 'I'm very happy'

A Wofford student with half of his face painted gold and the other half painted black spent the better part of an evening screaming at College of Charleston basketball players. He was reverently polite, however, as he approached the Cougars' head coach after the game.
