Today the world lost a great man and I lost a good friend. Tommy Moody and I just had a conversation over the weekend and he was saying how Ahmed Akram and Tomas Peribonio deserved to be in the USC Athletic Hall of Fame. The hall of fame was Tommy’s baby and it was a responsibility he did not take lightly.I will miss hearing his voice every time the Gamecock Baseball team takes the field.Rest in Peace, my friend.
