The 2005 Charleston Southern University football team was poised for their best season in school history. The Buccaneers earned a school-best 5-5 record in their preceding season.

The 2005 Charleston Southern University football team was poised for their best season in school history. The Buccaneers earned a school-best 5-5 record in their preceding season. It was the first time the program had achieved a non-losing status. At feat with which everyone on campus was satisfied. Everyone, that is, except the team. A gap no less than 100 football fields stands between non-losing and winning. The endless buckets of sweat and the occasional splatter of blood were never shed for non-losing seasons. Those were for wins. The early morning runs and the sacrifice of a "normal college experience" wasn't for mediocrity, they were for greatness. This unrest is what fueled us during the program's most important offseason. We were stacked with offensive weapons and defensive playmakers. Emerging leaders like Eddie Gadson pushed the team to improve during 5:30 a.m. workouts and player-led practices throughout the spring. Our attitude blurred between cocky and confident. But that all changed when tragedy struck a few short weeks before the season was slated to begin. Our worlds were shocked and a wound was delivered to us like we had never experienced. As pride morphed to humility, our confidence gave way to something bigger: the ability to believe. The ability to believe in each other. The ability to believe that a football team can provide healing. The ability to believe, against all odds, that the last place team in the conference could have a chance to play for a championship. The ability to believe in something bigger than ourselves. This is the story of the 2005 CSU Bucs. This is how we learned to believe.
"One of my goals in life has been to write the book I've always wanted to read. The story of the 2005 Buccaneer football team is one of the greatest sports stories never told. All of my writing, from the blog to my short ebook 'Giving 2 Gain' has been in preparation for the release of Believe EG21 in the fall of 2015. It has been my privilege to write this book, I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed creating it." I played football at Charleston Southern University from 2004 - 2008, graduating in 2007 with a BA in Business Management and again in 2011 with his MBA. I spent six and a half years in the furniture industry as the VP of Operations for Atlantic Bedding and Furniture before pursuing my writing career. Today, my writing can be found on my personal blog (below), CSU Magazine, and here in Amazon. I am a writer, entrepreneur, football coach, and philanthropist residing in Charleston, SC.
