Richt gets big laugh out of Spurrier’s latest jab
Athens – South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier was in midseason form when he talked to ESPN’s Chris Low in a wide-ranging spring practice interview this week in Columbia.
The barbs were flying for the Gamecocks’ outspoken coach, and both Georgia and defending national Alabama were zinged in the process.
Asked about having to play the Bulldogs in October now rather than in the second game of the season under the previous schedule, Spurrier couldn’t resist taking a shot.
“I don’t know, I sort of always liked playing them that second game because you could always count on them having two or three key players suspended,” Spurrier said.
Informed of Spurrier’s remarks after Georgia’s practice Thursday evening, coach Mark Richt just laughed.
“How ’bout that; I think that that’s funny,” Richt said after a hardy chuckle. “That sounds like Steve.”
What makes it particularly funny is Spurrier has been so lax on discipline. His previous quarterback Stephen Garcia was suspended five times under Spurrier’s watch but, interestingly, never missed a game until he was kicked off the team in the middle of this past season.
Spurrier even had a shot for Alabama’s Nick Saban. Asked what he thought about the job the Crimson Tide’s coach has done in Tuscaloosa, Spurrier compared him to Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari.
“He’s got a nice little gig going, a little bit like Calipari,” Spurrier told Low. “He tells his guys, ‘Hey, three years from now you’re going to be a first-round pick and go.’ If he wants to be the greatest coach or one of the greatest coaches in college football, to me he has to go somewhere besides Alabama and win, because they’ve always won at Alabama.”
Key players out for G-Day
Several key players are expected to miss Saturday’s annual spring game at Sanford Stadium.
Richt on Thursday said two-way star Malcolm Mitchell and true freshman tailback Keith Marshall were definitely going to sit out with hamstring injuries. Starting strong safety Shawn Williams is also out with what he called a minor knee injury and freshman quarterback Faton Bauta will also miss with a similar injury. Redshirt freshman ffensive linemen Zach DeBell (ankle) and Xzavier Ward (knee) will also sit out.

Spurrier is always good for a sound bite but not much else. South Carolina lacks the winning history and tradition of all the other SEC schools and he doesn’t have much else he can talk about. Columbia, SC is a dump and I guess he is just angry that he has to live there.

“he has to go somewhere besides Alabama and win, because they’ve always won at Alabama.”
And as far as talking trash about Alabama, as the ole’ song says “you don’t pull on Superman’s cape”. Saban has won everywhere he has coached. Shows just how stupid Spurrier is.

Spurrier obviously didn’t say anything that isn’t usually true, however, it’s the parts that he left off about his own program that is sad. For example, a couple of years ago when UGA and the NCAA had AJ Green sidelined for the USC game for selling his own property, yet Garcia and all the players caught up in the hotel scandal were on the field for South Carolina. Come to think of it, what ever happened with all that anyway? Mark Richt should start suspending players, but make sure they don’t miss games like Spurrier does.

Georgia fans look for anything to feel good about. They should’ve built a prison in Athens instead of a college. Laughing stock of the SEC after your debacle against Michigan State. I mean my goodness, it’s Michigan State! Alabama beat them by 6 touchdowns the year before and Saban took the foot off the pedal at halftime. I laugh everytime I hear you have the best quarterback in the league. He can throw a hook like Quincy Carter used to. How is Quincy doing these days. He was one of Georgia’s finest. Spurrier was off though, you guys will probably have 5 suspended for the opener. See you in Jacksonville, punks.

Spurrier says things the press should say and the press says thing Spurrier should say. They kind of fill a void for each other. The modern press is no more than a free PR circulated rag, that has copy written by the PR writers of a particular university. Spurrier is a honest breath of fresh air only because the press fails to get it done. I am surprised the way Georgia reschedules to a better schedule every year that falsifies the quality of the football being played in Athens that Spurrier is so quiet about it. I mean you take Alabama off your schedule, and you put South Carolina deeper into the season now that they have gotten not to be the patsy that was scheduled early. Complete control of you schedule at the expense of South Carolina, Spurrier is really being a gentleman in this skim of outrageous events.
As for Nick Saban, he better win, getting the money he is getting. That “nice little gig” could get him hung taking all that money and no results. If you want to talk about nice little gigs the one Richt has is the gig. He is right at a spot where he gets paid well and really doesn’t have to show results beyond beating 9 or 10 average teams. Saban had to beat LSU and Arkansas, and if he didn’t the rope party was forming.

Hey dummies. Bobo put up 42 against South Carolina which had the #4 defense in the country last year, oh yea with 4 turnovers that he didnt call for. 30 points agains Michigan St who had the 3rd best defense in the country. again turnovers did us in. And lastly he would have put up 24 points in the first 4 posessions against the #2 Defense in the country if malcome and T. King would have been able to hold onto the ball. The numbers dont lie folks. And the runs on 3rd and ten up the middle, well those might just be because of poor field position and not wanting to give up a devastating turnover. Yaw who complain about Bobo dont know anything. He is a damn good coach and quite frankly im glad he doesnt listen or EVEN CARE about yaw losers. He’s getting his. I bet he sleeps so good a night with his hot wife and beautiful children. While yaw stay up crying about a bad turnover. It happens folks. Get over it. Ask the troops over seas right now how they feel about their OC at their favorite school. It probably isnt very important to them. Ask a mother, whose son is serving right now what she thinks about Mike Bobo. Just a hunch, i bet she doesnt care.
Plus, i bet he really enjoys going to work and making $300,000 something a year. Unlike you losers in a cubicle trying to break $38,000 hating every minute of your existence

spurrier is big time worried about playing us.
He is 3-4 against UGA in his current gig and he has a gimpy running back and a QB that can’t throw downfield.
The look on his face when they interviewed him at halftime of the Arkansas game last year will be repeated time and time again this year. When asked about the ability of Shaw to wtretch the field, spurrier looked like someone had died and said “we will do what we can”.

If Spurrier were truly “telling it like it is” he would admit that his stint at South Carolina has been a mixed bag at best. Holtz won more there than he has won. He has not won an SEC title and that was his stated goal when he got there. He’s traded wins with Clemson for the most part. CLEMSON. Who in the hell loses to Clemson to begin with? Spurrier, that’s who.
Its only when someone is being a total unprofessional jerk and putting others down that morons claim they are “telling it like it is.”

I think the Old Ball Coach has figured it out. Whatever he does at USC is appreciated. He had Florida pretty much where Alabama is and left. Now he has South Carolina pretty even with Georgia, he can play golf when he wants and Columbia is a good town to grow old in. He actually reaps a little capital from Georgia refusing to step up. Those victories look bigger than they are for him too.

I have since the mid 1960s watched Spurrier play ball and talk and coach and sit on the SF 49s bench and talk and coach some more. THAT IS Steve Spurrier and to his credit, he won the Heisman at Florida and he has won MNCs. He ran his mouth in the old World Football league in Tampa Florida and while coaching at Tech and at Duke and Florida and now at SC. THIS IS HIS game. Who cares? Coach Ray Goff was REALLY bothered by him and Ray Goff is one tough hombre. For some reason, Goff just could not stay cool coaching against him.
How to shut him up: WIN, defeat him on the field. If UGA wants to shut him up, fine whup him in October. UGA owes him ………until WE WHUP them at SC, he gets to continue to run his mouth.

Spurrier is 3-1 against Saban and has never worried much about playing UGA; certainly not when the starting 22 are close in talent. With the current roster at USC the HBC is confident against all opponents this year. He will win all of the coaching matchups. I am hearing #21 is looking forward to his 3rd matchup with the Dawgs.

As an LSU fan living in this state, all I can tell you is that Georgia is not a threat. Our offense sucked last year and we ran right through they putrid defense in the 2nd half. They have the most overrated Defensive Coordinator in the country. He is a psychotic idiot. Fans of other teams, please don’t bother posting here. The puppies have been in the pound for about three decades and they ain’t getting out anytime soon. There only saving grace is that Tennessee sucks right now. That will give Richt another couple of years to underachieve. That’s all they know is underachievement. The pain train has arrived in Athens and the puppies will ride it until it crashes. I have the joy of looking at my two national title rings I have won in the past nine years. Georgia is a little impotent in that department. When they finally got one for winning the conference years back, the sold them. That is all you need to know about Georgia fans. Pretenders, middle of the road, has beens, etc. Still got behinds beat by Spurrier last year and they can’t take the fact he is a better coach than what they got!

Spurrier was way off. UGA usually has more then 2-3 guys suspended. If UGA was smart they would start the season with FCS, bad FBS, Vandy, and Kentucky every year. Then they should be in the clear.
_________________________________________________________________________
You know why Tech players don’t get in trouble? 1. They don’t drug test like UGA. 2. Atlanta PD is too worried about the robberies and shootings around the war zone called Tech to worry about what their players are doing. That’s the only reason why Tech players rarely get arrested.

Spurrier was so pathetic in the way he handled the Garcia situation and now he was to take little cheap shots at UGA. It got to a point where Garcia had to actually commit murder to be kicked off the team. The only reason he finally did it was because Garcia was playing so bad when he got into trouble again. If he were throwing 3 TD passes a game and they were undefeated he would have given him a 6th strike.

And one more fact, Garcia was suapended 5 times, but, IF YOU ADD UP ALL HIS “VIOLATIONS” AND GROUPED THEM TOGETHER, THEY AMOUNT TO NOTHING! He graduated WITH HONORS last May!!

Saban certainly is certainly got a huge ego, and is hard-nosed, but I kinda changed my opinion of Saban when I read a story about all of his efforts (personal and financial) to help the Tuscaloossa tornado victims last year.

The numbers dont lie folks. And the runs on 3rd and ten up the middle, well those might just be because of poor field position and not wanting to give up a devastating turnover.”

And he would be right. Four first round draft picks last year and a projected 5 first round picks this year says so. BTW the 5 that we will send in the first round this year will be an SEC record.
“If he wants to be the greatest coach or one of the greatest coaches in college football, to me he has to go somewhere besides Alabama and win, because they’ve always won at Alabama.”
Because they’ve always won at Alabama. You got that right Steve. 9 polled national championships and 22 SEC championships says so.

“I think the stats compare to the other guys.”
Nope. What the stats don’t show is that Saban coached at Toledo and Michigan State. Toledo in particular is a hard place to win and MSU has always been in the shadow of Michigan not to mention Ohio state, Penn St., and others in the big 10. Same with Miles who coached at Oklahoma state which has always been in the shadow of OU, Texas, and others. A more realistic comparison between the 2 of them and Richt would be to look at what Miles has done at LSU and what Saban has done at LSU/Alabama. And in comparing apples to apples Richt is simply not comparable to those 2.
“The BCS game is a beauty contest (ask Oklahoma State) you have no control of whether you get in that game or not.”
Wrong again Kerryb. You can control whether or not you get in by winning the games you need to win. Beating a horrible Iowa State team would be a good example.
” You can only control your sesons and Richt has done that over the years. Besides, LSU got Richt’s BCS game in 2007.”
LSU got Richt’s BCS title game in 2007. What kind of dope are you dawg fans smoking? LSU lost 2 sec road games in triple OT to 2 bowl bound opponents. Georgia lost at home to an unranked team that stayed home for the holidays and got BLOWN OUT by 4 touchdowns to a UT team that LSU beat by 10 pts with LSU’s backup qb. National title teams may lose a game but they do not get BLOWN OUT.
On top of that LSU had a huge quality nonconference win with a 48-7 walloping of Virginia Tech which finished 4th in the nation at the end of the season. Did Georgia have as quality a non-conference win??? Um. No.
Ya’ll need to shut the hell up about 2007. LSU was just plain better going by record and quality of losses/wins. The only people that disagree are delusional dawg fans.

kerryb,
Your ignorance knows no bounds. I can’t speak for the others but Bama drug tests its players. That’s why 3 players are on indefinite suspension. Saban doesn’t go into the specifics of why someone gets suspended due to privacy concerns but the majority of the time when he announces inhouse suspensions its pretty much a given that its because a player failed a drug test.
If you don’t know what goes on at other schools the best thing to do is just keep your mouth shut about things you have no knowledge of. Its better to be thought a fool then to write a post that confirms it.

@evil empire… you are right that it doesn’t matter what other schools policies are. But for the sake of the debate on this blog hell yea it matters. If these players were at any school besides uga or kentucky in the sec the suspensions would look like this. Branden Smith not suspended first offense, Alec Ogletree not suspended first offense, Bacarri Rambo suspended 1 game 2nd offense, Sanders Commings (this one is debatable as to what would happen at other schools, but at most 1 game suspension anywhere but UGA). So our policies are in place to better the athlete and they know the rules. However, our stricter policies put UGA at a disadvantage when is comes to suspensions for playing time.

Say what you want about Spurrier but most of us are going to miss him when he steps down. Not enough colorful coaches around now. He set the bar for coaches as far as salaries go. They should all be grateful for that. He went 12-20 in two years at Washington. Parcells & Gibbs did the same thing the next two years at their stops. How many coaches do you know that would say goo0dbye and leave the money on the table like he did at Washington. He could have stayed and got terminated and collected a pile like most of the coaches do(some in Georgia). Not many would walk off and leave the money. Bet Petrino would like to have that “for cause” stricken from his contract.

headley lamar,
Georgia’s drug policy is only really only significantly tougher on the 2nd strike. 1st strike is only 10% which is 1 game and one qtr of a 2nd game. 3rd strike is dismall at uga but a season long suspension at other programs. Well a season long suspension might as well be a dismissal sir.

the reason you see alot more uga players getting in trouble has more to do with respect for the program, or rather, lack of respect…thats the bottom line…
No. The bottom line is players at alabama can fail a drug test and still play.
The rules are different and the players know it.
At bama you can party a little and get away with it. That doesnt fly at Georgia.
One school is very lax on discipline ( Alabama ) and one School is very strict ( Georgia )
My parents were pretty strict on me growing up. Other parents were not.
Its basically the same thing. My friends could get away with stuff I couldnt.

I agree UGA is shooting itself in foot regarding 1st time violators. Most keep it in house and quiet while UGA (under CMR’s direction) has more of a zero tolerance policey. Zero tolerance as a policy rairly works out well. Keeping 1st violations in house helps with quiet intervention without over the top publicity.

@ evil empire – why would UGA want to relax the toughest drug testing policy in the conference? Smoking pot is stupid and it is illegal, but it is a cultural issue. Go spend a little time with the teenagers at the local high school and you will discover that a majority of them don’t see the big deal about smoking pot, in fact, they think it is no worse than all the Bubba’s that regularly drink a 6 pack of beer. UGA, Alabama, SC, Auburn, Florida, etc are all recruiting out of the same pool. If you want to pretend that the players at your school don’t do it, then enjoy your delusion.

Lamar Headley,
You had 1 or 2 players miss the Boise game and given the degree of the asskicking they gave you it really wouldn’t have mattered. As I have stated already the 2nd transgression the difference in penalty is significant. It still doesn’t explain all the other dawg arrests for various other infractions and all the other dawg suspensions. for non drug related arrests. In other words there is a clear sense of a lack of discipline within your program outside of failed drug tests. And its been that way for years.

1. Spurrier is one of the most lax coaches in terms of discipline, practicing his Christian upbringing (?), turning the other cheek, or in NCAA terms, turning a blind-eye to all of his player’s indescretions. Which is fine, if he wants to run his program that way.
2. He said it as a joke, but he was SERIOUS. Georgia will be much stronger in October than we will be in game 2!
3. When he finaly won the SEC East in 2010 and was the favorite to repeat in 2011, Spurrier wasn’t yapping. That’s how you can tell he will be an “also ran,” he’s running his mouth to draw attention to his team.
4. As documented by multiple outlets, the discipline policy for athletics differs from school to school, with UGA having one of the toughest. We’ll be the butt of jokes for that, no problem. As CMR says, we try to do things “the right way, the Georgia way.”

And AU has one and got screwed out of a 2nd one in 04. And UT has a bcs title going back to 98. The only one without a bcs title among the biggest 6 programs in the sec? Georgia! Hell they couldn’t even make it into the game let alone win the dang thing. And if we go back to the inception of the 2 division format bama and florida actually have 3 national titles apiece.

Not a dawg fan78, How about this, that Spurrier had players living in Hotel rooms, for less than full price, if that’s not against NCAA rules I don’t know what is, they should have had to forfeit every game, that those players played in.
Some South Carolina football players owed the Whitney Hotel several thousand dollars after receiving reduced room rates during extended stays at the hotel that have come under NCAA scrutiny, a source close to the situation told The State on Wednesday.
Multiple sources said some players had been living at the Whitney since the spring while paying a rate of $450 per month. But officials determined players should have been paying about $1,200 a month, and players were told by school officials to pay the difference to the hotel.
For at least two players who had not made any payments, the resolution meant they owed the hotel close to $5,000, according to one of the sources.

Charges against Courtney Upshaw were dismissed. Charges against Dre Kirkpatrick were dismissed. Jimmy Johns? Not so much, but that was a mess Saban inherited and one on which he decisively acted. If you have to go back four years to find the most recent egregious arrest, the program is doing fairly well. Freshman Brent Calloway was arrested for pot last year and suspended, so minor arrests do still happen in Tuscaloosa, as they do in all college towns.
The reality is that these kids are scared to death of both Saban and losing their spot to the majorly talented people behind them on the depth chart. Does anyone really, truly believe that Saban coddles players? He’s being called a ruthless, uncaring, cut-a-player-a-second scumbag on these blogs and the next moment his patience with poor, wayward youth is unending? Can’t have it both ways.

In all seriousness, isn’t strange, that as powerful as the NCAA and the each conference (in this case the SEC) are, that they don’t mandate a Code of Conduct, with a list of offenses, and STANDARD punishment for each offense?
Make it simple, everything from skipping classes to felony arrests, and a mandate suspension, dismissal, or whatever fits the offense. The school can opt to give additional punishment, but these would serve as minimums.
When the schools come back with the argument, these are our students, we will discipline them, the response is simple. They are NCAA athletes and the NCAA rules that part of their lives. The case is already proven in favor of the NCAA. The athletes and athletic departments supposedly already follow an NCAA rulebook that is thicker than the U.S. Tax Code.

That was a backhanded compliment Spurrier paid Richt and crew. He basically said USC has been lucky to play UGA with a few guys suspended every year, but got a dig in at the same time. By the way, one of USCs best starters on D in Devonte Holloman was suspended for the UGA game last year so its not just the poor dogs who were at a disadvantage. Maybe if he had played USC would have won the game outright instead of having it “gifted” to them.
And sure it was another dig Saban’s way, but if you actually read the full article from Low, Spurrier goes on to say Saban is the best coach in the SEC…hardly the slam some against Saban some of you are making it out to be.
As far as hotelgate, all players involved were actually cleared to play by the NCAA up to about an hour before the season opener that year, so it wasn’t Spurrier making the decision. Wes Saunders was the only suspended for games and never played for USC again. And sure Garcia had 5 chances, but its not like he was out there beating up women, hitting parked cars while driving drunk, and getting busted for smoking dope.

@ Buckeye – thanks, but no thanks. We don’t need any wisdom from the fan of a team that KNOWINGLY cheated every team they played a couple of years ago by allowing guys to play that should have been suspended. UGA sat AJ Green that same year BEFORE the NCAA made a ruling.

Spurrier can always get a job as a stand-up comedian when he gets tired of losing at S.C. It’s not the coach that holds S.C. back, it’s your lack of in-state talent and tradition.

Don’t watch the NFL Draft this weekend….somebody has been hitting the bottle a little too hard.
SC is expected to have two top 15 picks this week in the draft and perhaps a third 1st Rounder in that big WR they had. It is funny listening to a barely Top 25 team coming off two losing seasons fans talk to Steve Spurrier with his Top 10 team from 2011 about losing.
Looking at their roster, they appear to have the best returning DL in the conference along with secondary and the best RB crew in the conference. Somebody forgot that this is 2012 not 1992.

I had heard this morning that Spurrier had really blasted Georgia, but never could hear what he said. Finally I catch up with the story. Is that one comment what all the fuss is about? Hell, I think that’s a funny line! There’s also an element of truth to it, I’m sad to say. And, I say that not as a hater but as a UGA alumnus and huge fan. Our off seasons have been filled with way too much drama over the last five years or so. Once again we will play that second game of the season short staffed. I’m concerned about that game in Columbia, MO.
The OBC’s biggest inaccuracy was his implication that anyone could win at Alabama. There are a few coaches before Saban that didn’t exactly light up the scoreboard for the Tide. Tradition will only take you so far. It’s amazing how fast many have forgotten how mediocre Bama had been for so long. Like him or not, you can’t deny the job Saban has done. And, I’m pretty sure Steve knows that.

@bham dawg – The USC defense kept screwing themselves by scoring TDs and giving the offense the ball with a short field. They hung themselves out to dry by having to stay on the field longer than usual. By the way, how much scoring did UGA’s D do in that game? So to say the defense was ‘definitely’ better is simply an opinion. If UGA had actually outplayed USC, they would have won the game…it’s really a simple concept. UGA, whether on O or D, did not make the plays to win the game.

If you want to let someone else form your opinions for you that’s fine. But you will never hear me say USC outplayed UGA the year Andrew Pinnock fumbled the potential game-winning TD away with just seconds left at the goal line. Fact is UGA made more plays to win the game, thus outplaying USC.

History is history; that’s the past and all these “necks” down there live off the Husshel years. If the SEC would choose who wins the conference divisions by the division record only, Georgia would have been sitting at home last year.

He schooled Richt like a Kindergartner the past two years. I was there to suffer.
Richt is a loser, and as long as he is at UGA, so is Georgia. The Dawg Nation is just jealous, if it even has enough sense to see reality.. Drink that Koolaid boys!

Last year, the UGA players manhandled their South Carolina opponents. In the coaching department, however, Spurrier took Richt to the woodshed. Result: USC whipped Georgia’s arses.
How does that feel. How do the players feel about their coaches being so stupid after playing their hearts out?

Funny you comment about the Dawgs off the field issues MR GAYTOR, when your’e old coach Urban Cryer the Liar is front and center right now on that issue. At least we don’t cover up issues like what was done by that jackass. If you haven’t read Matt Hayes article in Sporting News you should. It highlights the rumblings of things we heard about years ago here in Jax. And yeah, I will see you here at the end of Oct. for your second(really should be third) loss in a row. Or is it the beginning of Nov this year?

@RobinHuud. It may be an old and rickety hook on the back of a door, but at least we have somewhere to hang our hat. And, we have been close a few times in the last decade. How many times has USC won the east? How about the SEC? How about the whole enchilada? Oh, and I don’t chew tobacco, I hate country music and my neck isn’t red.

Red and Black you have to consider how long USC has been in the SEC and how long UGA has been in the SEC. There is quite a diifference in the # of year the Dawgs have been in the SEC vs South Carolina..I think Ga has been in the SEC about 80 years and won maybe 12 SEC titles..

Andy, you’re just making stuff up. You probably weren’t even alive back when the Bear coached. I was. He only faced UGA six times against Dooley and went 4-2. All games were close with the exception of one Bama blowout ( with Namath) and one UGA blowout (76 SEC champs).

My goodness, USC is going to wear us out with that defense against our line. Man beast Clowney another year older and if you do block him you still have the other beast, Taylor. not to mention Ga. boy Connor Shaw who we did not even play against. Plus a healthy Lattimore (by the 4th game).
Spurrier is writing a check with his mouth that he knows he will cash in October.
You're paying that bozo Richt how much money a year???

A few comments about UGA:
1. Four different SEC teams have won the last six BCS championships.
2. UGA was not one of those teams.
3. During that period, UGA did not win the SEC championship.
4. Red panties and hashbrowns.
In other words, UGA has sunk into total irrelevancy both regionally and nationally.
So why is UGA paying Mark Richt millions of dollars a year?

Nice piece about Tebow’s charity golf tournament with Bubba Watson in attendance. I gotta tell you Dawgs that I didn’t know too much about Mr. Watson before his Masters win, but he sure is a great young man. He’s made this Gator into a fan of his.

I don’t know, I sort of always liked playing them that second game because you could always count on them having two or three key players suspended,” Spurrier said
But it seems his players always seem to be off suspension just in time when his teams play UGA. Just goes to show he can’t beat us unless he has all his players in the game. Hey Steve remember Bill Stanfill??????? How we took away that SEC title you NEVER WON???

Bunch of freaking trolls. You’re a bunch of hypocrites,talking about ugly wins. Did Alabama deserve a chance to play for the N.C. after losing to LSU in the regular season??? Hell no! Some other team should have gotten a shot but they didn’t. So Alabama winning was ugly, but they still won. They are the N.C.s even though they didn’t even win their division, just like UGA won the SECe, while losing to S.C. Alabama won it all wheather they deserved it or not and Georgia did too,so STFU you whiney babies and get over it already. You hate UGA so much, take Dawg out of your name and pull for another team and we’ll kick your a** when we play you. Freaking trolls…

You Ga.fans are pitiful! Spurrier tells it like it is and couldn’t care less what you think. He’s going to have a great team next year, so watch out in Columbia, which, by the way, is not the horrible city you people think it is. It is a great town with good people and a fine university.

What Spurrier means about Saban is that it is easy to win at Bama cause of past traditions as well as LSU. Before bama hired Saban Spurriers name was mentioned, he said why go to Bama and be just another coach that won a National Championship when he could go to Carolina and build something, as I recall last time Bama came to Columbia they got their butts handed to them
