Spurrier

[RedDog]

Local papers are reporting that Steve Spurrier is replacing Lou Holtz as the SC headcoach. Give him a couple of years and we'll see it he is really as great as he thinks he is. I don't necessarily doubt it :rolleyes:

No rumors up here about coaches for UF - what's the word?

Birmingham talk radio still pushing Urban Meyer for Florida and makes it sound like it's a done deal.

I tell all my Aubie buddies that Tubberville is heading to Florida after tomorrow (just to fire them up).

Prior to this year, if UT had played Sadam's Royal Army in a pickup game of chinese checkers, I'd be cheering for the Iraquis. For this year's SEC championship game, I'm dressing Stella up in orange and playing Rocky Top non stop on game day!

Pics below of Stella studying the new Auburn playbook (note the "Moo" in the title) as well has practicing her form tackling on poor Tigger playing the role of an Auburn Tiger.

It's going to take more than Stella in orange for the Vols to top Auburn. We're down to Casey's little brother or even Chris Leak's big brother as QB. Neither one compares to their brother. It is possible (???) Sheiffer could be back for the SEC Championship. His shoulder ought to last about 1 or 2 series against the AU defense :bonk:

No word on Zook's replacement at UF yet. Yeah, Spurrier went to The Gamecocks. Now that is just plain wrong ! ! ! All because AD Foley asked Spurrier for his resume ! Hey Foley, look at the trophy case outside of your office with the National Championship and 8 SEC Championship trophies in it ! ! ! That is Steve Spurrier's resume you dolt ! ! ! Now after reading what I just wrote I feel ill. This is just wrong ! !

You think that's bad, what about Bama?

With Croyle, I honestly think we'd have at most one loss.

As it is, we lose Croyle to a fluke kneee injury. His replacement, former Miami signee Mark Gullion, has some freaky back injury involving bulging discs so we end up with our 3rd teamer who got hammered against LSU and may have bad ribs. I think that the waterboy played some pee wee QB so he may start tomorrow.

First team RB Ray Hudson goes out with a broken bone under his knee and his backup, Kenneth Darby, also got hammered against LSU and was gimpy by the end of the game. His backup is a true frosh who last year was playing in front of an average crowd of 300 people.

Then throw out starting FB Tim Castille with another knee injury and hammer his backup to where no one knows if he can play a full game against AU. We may be using a walk on fullback.

I've heard of bad luck before but we've gotten more than anyone deserves.

The sad thing is that the kids (and I repeat, these are just KIDS) who are getting hurt had nothing to do with the infractions that lead to probation. The punishment for breaking the rules doesn't do sqat to those who break them but inflicts PHYSICAL INJURY to innocent parties. When a team is limited to scholarships and numbers like we are, the inevitable result is that the players who play are more likely to get hurt.

Thank God for beer and babies. Stella and I will have a ball regardless!
(no, no beer for Stella).

Hey, Sport.

Did you know that Papa Bowden was on his way to coach at Alabama but our IDIOT president, Joab Thomas, insisted on Bowden going through the interview process instead of handing him the keys and telling him to drive.

Bowden was so insulted that he told them to screw off and we ended up with that coaching guru-turned expert commentator, Bill Curry. :uzi:

I'd rather hear a fat woman fart, than a grown man cry. :)

I think this is the first time, ever, that I've not agreed with 2Biggies! (Stella is cuter than a June Bug, however!)

Auburn rocks. After the sound drubbing that my Dawgs suffered in their paws, I can only hope that not only does Auburn win today and DEFINITELY destroy the Vols, but that they have the opportunity to play for the National Championship. I think it would make a lovely gift from Christmas Claus. :biggrin.:

Am I the only one who feels there is a bias against SEC teams? I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW all about the strength of schedule mumbo jumbo BCS stats, but it feels like there is a continuing pattern of being shut out. Why not an extra Bowl Game to determine the winner in cases of three undefeated teams? It would only add revenue and make OCD fans like me pleased with a clear victor.

Spurrier as a GameCock has so much potential for jokes that I'm applauding the decision. (Fully aware that I may be eating those words when he hands the Dawgs their heads in a few years...) I will miss watching my personal idol, Coach Holtz, pacing the sidelines, though...

Bunches,

Celene 'waiting for the calls from Tallahassee to begin...'

[daboys]

Yup, he's headed to carolina, hootie, Agusta Club President - remeber him from the womens rights group comments about membership at Augusta, is a gamcock alumni and a former player. Seems the coach gets a membership if he come to Columbia - nice :beer: :beer: :beer:
