Chick-fil-A Golf is serious business for coaches
Greensboro–Today we are taking a break from the serious side of college football to have a little fun and raise some money for scholarships and charity. I’m at Lake Oconee, near my home town of Union Point, for the annual Chick-fil-A Bowl Challenge golf tournament. I’d like you to come along.
It started as modest idea, something that would allow the Chick-fil-A Bowl to thank its supporters and to have some fun.
They would invite head coaches from all over and team them with a famous athlete from their school for a round of competitive golf against a dozen other such teams. Some scholarship money would be at stake to keep it interesting. CBS would record the competition and fill a hole in the programming lineup on Christmas Day.
“When we started we didn’t know what kind of response we would get or how popular the event could be,” said Gary Stokan, president of the bowl. “We just wanted to host something fun for all our partners.”
Today $350,000 in scholarship money will be on the line for the annual Chick-fil-A Bowl Challenge golf tournament. First prize is $120,000 which goes to the general scholarship fund of the winning school. By the end of the day the CFA Bowl will have handed out $500,000 for scholarships and various charities.
With this many coaches in one place, there is bound to be some news. Here are just a few nuggets:
**–South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier and former Gamecock receiver Shannon Sharpe won this event a year ago. Spurrier’s football team, however, struggled (7-6) last season but he is encouraged by what he saw in spring practice. And yes, Gamecock fans, Spurrier is cautiously optimistic that Stephen Garcia is growing into an SEC-caliber quarterback.
Spurrier was getting a little good-natured ribbing at dinner Monday night for having seven players drafted, more than any other SEC school. Six of those picks, it should be noted, were in the fifth and seventh rounds.
**–Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt said the Falcons got a good one in first-round choice Peria Jerry. “Now he’s got a motor and will give you everything he’s got,” said Nutt, whose second Ole Miss team is getting some preseason love in the SEC West.
**–Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer, who owns a summer home on Lake Oconee, just finished up spring practice last Saturday. He’ll spend most of June down here and then be back in the state on Sept. 5 when the Hokies, the defending ACC and Orange Bowl champs, take on Alabama in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff at the Georgia Dome. “That game has our attention, I promise you that,” Beamer said. “It is just a good opportunity for our program.” Beamer teamed with former Hokie basketball star Dell Curry to win this event two years ago.
**–Former Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville is here. He’s working on his golf game and getting ready to do some studio work for ESPN this season. “I’m looking forward to watching for a while to see what I’ve missed,” said Tuberville. Tuberville made it clear that he wants to coach again and the smart money says he will.
**–Former Arizona State coach Frank Kush continues to work with the program which is now run by Dennis Erickson. He is more than a little concerned about the Sun Devils’ trip to Athens on Sept. 26 to play Georgia. “They handled us pretty good at home (27-10) last year,” said Kush, who was Arizona State’s head coach for 22 seasons (1958-79). “The SEC teams really have a lot of athletes.” His undefeated 1970 team played in the Peach (now Chick-fil-A) Bowl and beat North Carolina to finish 11-0.
**–Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe was all smiles after linebacker Aaron Curry was taken as the No. 4 pick overall in the NFL Draft. One of the things people try to use against Wake Forest in recruiting is that Grobe’s program is not the best stepping stone to the NFL. This season Wake Forest had the highest player chosen in the ACC and its three overall picks were more than Florida State and Miami combined. “They won’t be able to use that against us anymore,” Grobe said. Grobe will be playing with former Wake Forest basketball star and CBS analyst Billy Packer.
**–My pick to win today is Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson and former Jacket basketball star Jon Barry, who is a scratch golfer and hits it nine miles. “I’m just here to make the putts,” said Johnson, who swings a pretty mean stick himself.
**–Even the basketball coaches get in the act. Former Georgia coach Hugh Durham, former Alabama coach Wimp Sanderson, and former Georgia and Kentucky coach Tubby Smith (now at Minnesota) are here.
Thanks for traveling with me today. I’ll see you back in Atlanta on Wednesday.

Be interesting to see where Tubberville will end up coaching since he wants back in. He is way too good of a coach to be sitting on the sidelines for long. Unfortunately, there doesn’t look like there are many coaches on the immediate hot seat in the southeast right now.
Tony, could you update us on some of the possibilities on where Tubbs could end up at?
Watch out for Ole Miss and Nutt. He has always given Bama and LSU trouble and for once he has an NFL caliber future qb to work with. Saban has stated before that he admires Nutt more than any other sec coach because Nutt gets more out of his players than anyone. I can’t imagine how good his teams would possibly be if he had the overall talent to work with that you would find at some of the bigger name SEC schools.
Good for Wake and Aaron Curry. Its great to see an academic school excelling against the bigger boys.

Tommy Tuberville…Next Tennessee HC??? He’ll have to wait a couple of years though…SOS, if his teams at SC don’t take a real step forward in next 2 years I think he hits the golf course full time…was a real down year for the NFL draft for overall Florida schools with a total of 7 draft picks…Florida has a total of 7 Div 1 schools…Expect about that many Gators to go in the draft next year ALONE.

Yeah. I thought Clemson would be the perfect destination for Tubbs also and if Swinney implodes then its a possibility Tubbs could end up there but I think they’ll give Dabo at least a couple of years. I was thinking UT would be a good place too but they will give Kiffin at least 2 years and I can’t see Tubbs on the sideline that long. Shannon at Miami has to accomplish something sooner or later but like Kiffin and Dabo he has 2 years unless they have a monumental implosion. Tubbs has a lot of old connections at Miami and coached there awhile.
What’s m gonna do if UGA goes back to its usual habit of beating Tech this year? There’s only so much mileage you can get out of one win.

Saint Nick, As funny as it would be to us Bama fans to see Tubbs somewhere like Memphis I’m sure he will end up at a big time program again. BTW, did you see that we scheduled a home and home with Mich St. in 2016 and 2017. Mich St.’s athletic director stated part of the reason for the game was a reunion of sorts between Dantonio and Saban. He stated that in negotiations for the series that they fully expect Saban to still be at Bama and that was part of the reason for scheduling the series.

JB,
We’re just busting your chops too. Its all in good fun although we all play a little rough sometimes.
Saban will stay at Bama precisely because he had a rep for jumping around and therefore no one would seriously entertain the offer of hiring him and because he’s in his late 50s and he just isn’t interested in starting another rebuilding program all over. Plus no one is going to pay him the type of money he commands and his NFL bridge is burned. Bama is his last stop because he probably couldn’t go anywhere else even if he wanted to. The only question is will he coach another 5 years, 7, 8, etc. We don’t care if its only 3 more years as long as he leaves the talent cupboard full.
I’m not sure the dawg fans catch more crap than anyone on here. I would say we all give and get our fair amount of abuse. The only bad thing about being a dawg fan is that you have to listen to m for at least another 6 or 7 months. Then again I think most of you have become enured to it and just tuned him out. Too bad we don’t have Roswell Ed anymore. I’m hoping Auburn does pretty well especially in the early going so that we can hear from Roswell Ed again.

I will give him this. All of this homoerotic shirt off ripping is a good way to keep many Vol fans “excited about the team”.

I hate to say it, but Tubbs would put UVA back on the map. Among the elite of America’s public universities (Cal, Michian, UNC), and having a perfectly beautiful campus located in a beautiful setting, the recruiting grounds are fertile (Northern Va., Tidewater Va, Pa., Md., DC). If I were a college-aged athlete, I would choose UVA over any SEC school, especially if I value quality education.

JB,
Sand Mountain is indeed a beautiful area. But real kountry. We got nothing against the dawgs except for the fun we all have needling each other on here. Kiffinisatosser thinks we’re a little rough and we probably are sometimes so we’ll try to tone it down a bit.
You have to admit that except for 2 or 4 years or how every often we play for some reason UGA-Bama has just never been a big rivalry. Most UGA fans don’t know it but 90% of the Bama fans pull for UGA to win the east over UF and especially UT which is our 2nd biggest rival and is really our biggest rival to some Bama fans. We would pull for Vandy over the big 3 in the east but that just aint realistic so must of the Bama fans root for UGA when they play UF, UT, Auburn or LSU.
As for QB both the dawgs and Bama are going to be better off at that position then people think. Dawgs will be fine on o-line and every else but you are right. One of their rbs has to step up. The UGA o-line will be really strong, especially with Sturdivant back so it shouldn’t take much for one of those rbs to become the next Moreno, Hearst, Edwards, etc. . It will be like our O-line was last year.
We will be fine all across the board. The one issue is lack of experience on the O-line. The talent is certainly there but the experience is lacking and the defense will have to carry the team for the first few games till the o-line gets settles. Va. Tech’s defense will present an unusually tough opener of a defense to go against.

Couldn’t you at least have referred to us as sharks as opposed to bream? I would say we are a little easier on the dawg fans though than say, m or ramble on. We generally only start talking smack though when someone starts belittling our beloved crimson tide like when they call UA “lackluster”. We could be a lot worse. One of us could come up with a handle like CMRisatosser but that would be classless don’t u think?

No, to be blunt, my point was that the Tidal fan base here (and really I am not singling you out) loves to launch into these huge 98 line defenses of Bama as soon as anyone says something negative about Bama. It’s ..well boringly clogged up with facts. Case in point was the inane argument about how many MNCs have been won by Bama. My Gosh…that stuff is like watching paint dry.

Kiffinisatosser,
A bream that thinks its a shark. I have to admit that is funny. We all debated Bama’s real number of national titles. Its really only 9, 4 consensus and 5 split titles between the 2 major polls of the time. But dangit 12 just sounds better even if it aint legit!
I was kidding obviously about taking a handle like CMRisatosser. Richt is very well respected by his coaching counterparts and Bama fans(at least the ones I know) have a tremendous amount of respect for the man. And you don’t need to lose the Kiffinisatosser handle either. I was just bustin on you about that but I doubt you would want to lose that handle anyway.
I talked to a couple of UT friends the other night at a local pub I hang out at and even they were a little peeved about Kiffin not playing the guy they thought should have won the qb job. A month or 2 ago they were gung ho about anything and everything he was saying and doing. But now they seem to be kinda coming out of a fog kinda like the guy in the movie Office Space if ya ever seen that. I think a few of them are kinda starting to question this guy’s judgement. Personally, I like Kiffin. I look for at least 2 years of solid entertainment from this guy before he gets canned.

bama 12…running off that QB was a serious mistake. Kiffin will certainly wish he had not done that at some point this coming season. It may be when Crompton fumbles twice and gets three picks against the Tide D. That game could actually be a repeat of MSU and Auburn from last year. FWIW I would pick Bama to get the 3 points.

WHY I HATE BAMA – as a 12 year old kid I was walking home from a game against Bama. A bus load of drunk Alabamians rolled past saw my opposing team’s tee shirt and began pouring beer on and spitting at me. These were “grown” men doing this to a skinny 12 year old. No lie…it still chaps my hindquarters.
WHY BAMA MAY NOT BE SO BAD – There is a school for developmentally disabled kids in Nashville that offers its grounds for tailgaters going to Vandy games (no the school is not Vandy!). One Bama supporter in his RV observed the work of the school and spontaneously wrote them a check for a lot of money out of respect and gratitude for being able to tail gate there. That was a random act of kindness to be sure.
bama12titles

Kiffinisatosser,
That is disturbing to hear that a busload of men would do that. I can only assume that it was a fraternity and for some sick reason they thought it would be cool to douse a 12 year old. I’ve attended a lot of Bama games and I’ve heard crap like that before about a minority of Bama fans.
I’ve also heard about a UGA fan adult male screaming at the child of a Bama fan at the blackout game, about a group of Georgia male students peeing on opposing fans from the stadium after a loss, etc. I’ve also heard the same crap about LSU fans vandalizing other fans cars at practically every game, Florida fans doing similar, etc.
Keep in mind that every program out there has the same minority of immature and basically jackazz fans and Bama certainly isn’t immune from having its share of jerks. The same for thug players. Everybody has them. Except maybe Vandy of course. When people say that you have to have some perspective and realize that this crap goes on everywhere. Unfortunately, it is what it is and we’re all going to have a minority of jerkoffs who are going to do crap like poor beer on a 12 year old or pee on other fans from atop the stadium.

Duke is a fine institution no doubt, but nobody trumps Thomas Jefferson. The Bill of Rights allows Us to have this blog, and more important blogs. Bama 12, UGA and Bama go back a long ways. The rivalry is better natured than most, probably because they haven’t played each other much since the Wally Butts years. Also, the Saturday Evening post scandal and the Leroy Jordan incident made Bama hate Tech almost as much as UGA hated Tech. Remember that when Bear was forced to go to Atlanta for a meeting or whatever he would bring his lunch in a brown paper bag? He said he wasn’t spending one more penny in that dam town than he had to! Besides, UGA hates anything orange, so does Bama.

Jordan was a tough mean little linebacker for Bama. He hit a Tech player with a forearm and smashed the kid’s nose and sinuses. The Tech coaches and AD accused Jordan in particular and Bama in general of dirty play. Bear was already upset with Dodd over the Saturday Evening Post article accusing Wally Butts of selling UGA plays to Bear Bryant before a UGA-Bama game. Dodd and Furman Bisher were tight and Furman helped write the article. Bear thought Dodd was pulling the strings and trying to weaken two of his biggest rivals. Bear was even more upset because he and Dodd had been close friends. Bama and Tech didn’t play for at least ten years, maybe longer.

Nothing says, “I aren’t one.” like mispelling “genius.” Normally I hate the grammar police on blogs, but I think that’s funny as hell.

Saint Nick,
I think Rolando McClain would be foolish not to go pro after this year. Just my opinion though. Not to worry though. We’ve recruited so many top caliber lbs that we can just insert Nico Johnson, Tana Patrick, Jerrell Harris, Courtney Upshaw, Chris Jordan, and not miss a beat. A lot of lb talent waiting in the wings so I’m not worried at all.

Whoops, I misspelled misspelling, but I think that’s funny as Ray Goff’s old radio show.

I still say that GT leaving the SEC was a HUGE mistake. Notre Dame of the South, that was Dodd’s goal. As a UGA fan, and SEC Fan, I wish GT was still in the SEC myself. Much better institution than South Carolina.

Saint Nick,
So UGA fans are the worst because liquid was thrown on your car?
So, what does that make Bama fans who threw BOTTLES at our players after the 2007 overtime game?
Just curious.

I am no Dawg supporter, but I would bet even money that Joe Cox makes Uga a better TEAM than it as under the wunderkind Stafford. He will manage the game a bit like the unflashy JP Wilson. He will also have a very experienced line protecting for him. Dawgs will have a better season this year than the experts predict.

I think we can all agree that Kentucky fans are some of the worst, They take their basketball chip on the shoulder to the football agmes as well. Low class individuals seem to predominate up in bluegrass country.

Hey Kiffinsatosser, I bet that bus had the Alabama president and the board of trustees on it! I disagree with your pick of the worst fans, It’s a tie between Tech and Florida—you could fill a stadium with them and you couldn’t come up with an ounce of class.

Sugar hill dawg,
You insult the crimson nation by mockingly stating that the AL. president and board of trustees would pour beer on a 12 year old. Then you have the gall to say the fans of Tech and Florida wouldn’t have an ounce of class if they filled a stadium. Unfreakingbelievable! Talk about class!

I see Steve Spurrier and Sterling Sharpe won the Chick-fil-a golf tournament but Nick Saban and Johnny Musso came in third place. Not bad

I think Spurrier actually cares more about golf these days than he does about SEC championships. And thank heavens for that!

Two words you will NEVER hear in the same sentence… UGA & class. They are still bitter from the “blackout” game, get over it! Focus on somehow beating Florida sometime this century.

What part of “Worst fans I have ever encountered” don’t you understand!!!! Did I strike a nerve????? Was it you outside Sanford Stadium chunking p*ss at cars???? I never said that UGA fans are the worst fans in the world MORON, I was just simply stating that was MY worst experience!!!!! 31-0 at the half!!!!!

Hey Tony: Wake Forest had 4 overall picks, not 3: Aaron Curry to the Seahawks, Alphonso Smith to the Broncos, and Chip Vaughn & Stanley Arnoux to the Saints.

No, you did not strike a nerve Saint Nick, but apparently I did. I just find it funny how you judge UGA fans, but will not look at your own fan base. Apparently, you have never ‘encountered’ Bama fans. I don’t seem to recall UGA fans throwing bottles at the Bama team after last years game, I guess we will just have to work on becoming as ‘classy’ as you Bama fans.

Tom, thanks for the correction. My memory is a little hazy since I was a kid when all this happened.
