...even tried to tempt Thorn's father with a police job in the same county. "At first I enjoyed the attention," says Rod. "But then I decided it was sort of repulsive." He turned them all down in favor of a straight athletic scholarship to West Virginia (tuition, room and board). Besides, it was flattering when the legislature put him in a class with West Virginia's coal mines. "That," says Rod, "was a nice gesture...
