(AP) — Musa Smith didn’t tell any one about his father’s misdeeds when he got to Georgia. Not his coaches. Not his teammates. “It was in the past,” said Smith, a junior run ning back. “1 dealt with it in the past.” Even atW the events of Sept. 11, Smith man aged to keep anyone in Athens from finding out that his father’s Pennsylvania farm was once dubbed “Camp Terror,” a place where Islamic radicals were allegedly trained to wreak havoc on America. “He’s so quiet,” coach Mark Richt said. “I had no idea.” Now, it’s all out in the open. Kelvin Smith spoke for the first time in a decade about his sup posed ties to terrorism, putting an uncomfortable spotlight on his soft-spo ken son. “I’m not really happy about it coming up,” said Musa Smith, a key play er for the nation’s No. 9- ranked team. A decade ago. He’s such a strong man. I know he’s gone through some adversity, but his true colors came out. Musa is a great man and a great teammate. 99 Smith’s farm was used as a training ground by Islamic extremists plotting to assassinate world leaders and blow up New York landmarks, includ ing the United Nations and the Lincoln Tunnel. Musa Smith was only 10 when federal investi gators told his father that the trainees were anti- American terrorists. Eight days later, on Feb. 26, 1993, a Ryder truck exploded in the World Trade Center, killing six and injuring more than 1,000. Kelvin Smith denies knowing anything about the terror plot, but was later convicted of dumping assault rifles in a river and lying to investigators. As his son finished his junior year of high school, the elder Smith began his sentence of a year and a day behind bars. When Musa Smith got to Georgia, he didn't tell anyone about his father’s brush with terrorism. Even though the story was well publicized in his home state, it appears no one made the connec tion in Athens, a gossipy college town that seems to scrutinize every move of its beloved Dawgs. “I asked him about it when the story came out and he was like, ‘That was 10 years ago,”’ Richt said. “It’s such old news. It’s really not fair to Musa. That part of his life is over with.” For Smith’s teammates, the only hints were vague references to his father once serving time in jail. Nobody pressed him for details. “I shouldn’t be held accountable for anything my parents did,” offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb said. “It’s the same with Musa. No one knew the exact details, but it’s not important.” Smith was primed to have a breakout season in 2001, but he never fully recovered from a groin injury sustained against Vanderbilt. He missed two games and couldn’t do much in three others, yet still finished as the team’s second-leading rusher with 548 yards. Behind the scenes. Smith had other issues to deal with. Last Sept. 11, he joined teammates in front of a television in the McWhorter Hall dormi tory, grimacing at the images from New York City. He refused to let the events of Sept. 11 condemn his family or religion. “What happened was the same thing as people blowing up abortion clinics,” he said. “They hap pened to be Muslims on Sept. 11. They’re just extremists.” Smith said he’s gotten “nothing but support” from his teammates and others on campus since his father’s story went public. In the season opener. Smith rushed 23 times for 105 yards to help the Bulldogs beat Clemson 31-28. In the past week. Smith has given no indication that he’s bothered by his family secret — or the scrutiny he might face now that it’s been exposed to everyone. Stinchcomb doesn’t expect Smith to change, even if rival fans take advantage of the opportuni ty to unleash cruel taunts. “He’s such a strong man,” the lineman said. “I know he’s gone through some adversity, but his true colors came out. Musa is a great man and a great teammate.” — Jon Stinchcomb Georgia Offensive tackle Knight gets lawsuit extension against IU BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana University has agreed to extend the deadline for Bob Knight to sue the school over his 2000 firing as basketball coach, giving him until Oct. 1 1 to make that decision. Under state law, the statute of limitations required Knight to take legal action by Monday, the two-year anniversary of the day on which IU President Myles Brand tolcLhim he was being fired. IU Counsel Dorothy Frapwell said issues regarding Knight’s dismissal and contract were still being discussed with his attor ney, so it made sense to extend the deadline. “We are progressing,” Knight’s attorney Russell Yates told the Herald Times for a story Tennis Continued from page IB senior Ashley Hedberg. Roland is ranked the No. 59 singles player in the nation and is teaming with Hedberg to claim the No. 12 doubles spot. The team finished last season ranked No. 24. The fall semester is completely individ ual action with no team rankings compiled until January. “We hope to be in the best physical shape we’ve ever been in after this fall sea son,” Cass said. “We also want to take care of business in the classroom so when spring comes around we can win the national championship. That’s our goal.” Tuesday. “I’m confident we can get this done.” Frapwell and Yates declined to say what specific issues are being discussed. Yates filed notice in March 2001 that Knight might sue the university for wrongful dis missal, saying he suffered more than $7 million in damages, including lost income, mental humiliation and interference with employment prospects. Brand fired Knight for viola tions of a “zero-tolerance” poli cy that university officials had imposed four months earlier. Texas Tech hired Knight six months later as its basketball coach. Knight led the Red Raiders to the NCAA Tournament in his first year at Tech, before losing in the first round. Under terms of his contract with IU, the university continued to pay his $179,000 salary through June of this year. He is also being paid more than $4 mil lion deferred compensation over 10 years. On Aug. 30, Knight settled for $25,000 a separate lawsuit filed against him by former assistant coach Ron Felling. As part of the settlement, Knight agreed to cooperate with Felling’s lawsuit against the uni versity for failure to take action against Knight despite a history of “bad acts” by the coach. Felling had originally sued both Knight and the university, accusing Knight of wrongfully firing him and shoving him into a large-screen TV. SPORTS IN BRIEF Texans debut beats ratings from last year’s Super Bowl in Houston The Sunday night football game between the expansion Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys had a Nielsen rat ing of 42.2, which meant approximately 772,935 house holds in Houston watched the game, which was televised nationally by ESPN and ran locally on KTRK. In comparison, the Super Bowl last season drew a 40.7 share in Houston. ESPN estimates that the game was seen by 8.35 million viewers nationally which would be the most watched NFL game on the network in three years and, according to the Houston Chronicle, one of the most-watched cable pro grams ever.
