Unwilling to take on the easy assignments, his stints as Gamecocks beat writer included consecutive 1-10 and 0-11 football seasons under Brad Scott and Lou Holtz, as well as Steve Spurrier's abrupt resignation late on a Monday night. In between stretches reporting on the Gamecocks, Caraviello covered auto racing, emerging as one of the foremost editorial voices in the sport. The 2000 South Carolina Sports Writer of the Year, Caraviello has earned numerous others writing accolades and is a two-time recipient of the Russ Catlin Award, the highest honor in motorsports journalism. He lives near Charleston, South Carolina, with his wife, two children and two dogs.view less
