Lifetime Dog fan, totally agree with Bradley. Even at his evilest, I always thought the EG was funny. Deep down I even usually agreed with him when he was dissing Goff and Donnan. Definitely laughed when he dissed Fulmer and the Vols. I’m glad he’s at SC and looks to stay there. Keeps him away from Tech. Hate to say it, but Tech is an empire waiting to be built, and Spurrier is the kind of coach that could do it.

The last time the cocks beat the Dawgs I was a freshman at Georgia Southern. I don’t remember exactly how we lost but I do remember throwing a full beer can from the third floor of my friends apartment. We have not lost since. God does not want me to throw things off balconies.

Great article, I’ve always liked the ole ball coach.I just hated that one saturday every year. But everything I’ve ever read about him, off the field, was very positive.His gator teams usually backed up what his words claimed on the field.I just wish he was in the western division.Now Fat Phil, thats a different story…

I agree. As a lifelong Dawg fan, I didn’t care for Spurrier when he was beating the daylights out of us year after year. But I admit that College Football is better when he’s on the sidelines. You gotta admit that the guy can coach, and he wins without cheating.

Spurrier was so confident when he was at Florida that he would go for it on 4th down if he was anywhere near midfield. You had thought you had stopped hima on a 3 and out situation, but he knew his offense was so good, you weren’t going to stop him with 4 chances. I hated it at the time, but he was a gutsy coach. I will still enjoy some payback on Saturday!

Never disliked Spurrier at all! I have the same dry sense of humor and never blamed him for needling his opponents. Also, thought it was great the way he always took the pressure off of the kids by putting it clearly on his shoulders.

All of you Spurrier haters need to realize that it was never Spurrier’s fault that in the ‘90’s, Georgia was still recruiting db’s to stop Bear Bryant. DB’s that could tackle but not keep up with the Gator’s vertical game. You can blame Ray Goff and all of his recruiters who were supposed to be so good at recruiting! You can’t blame Spurrier for wanting to bury the team that stood in his way when he wore a Gator helmet!

The comments from Dawg fans are typical. I sense a bit of fear knowing that if it comes down to a close game that SOS will out coach their beloved Richt. There is no way anyone can question SOS’s ability to prepare for and manage a game evidenced by games last year with the talent on the field. Unfortunately for Dawg fans there is more talent and depth to work with. Most of which was not used in the LaLa game. Don’t be fooled in thinking you will see the same team on Saturday, unless you choose too, which is fine as well. GO ‘COCKS!!!

YoYoYo, OldSchoolDawg checkin’ in to say “Enuf with the Spurrier stuff.” Instead I pose this question: “What’s with all the hair coming out of the back of those famous oval ‘G’ helmets?”

Come on, y’all! We are the Georgia Bulldogs. That’s simply not our stylie. We’re a team; we don’t need that individualism. Let that be (Pittsburgh Steeler) Troy Polamalu’s thing. Let those thugs at UF do that.

What? You don’t buy my subjective argument? Here’s something more concrete to sink your teeth into:

Success in D1 college football increasingly depends on speed, correct? And that speed is measured in tenths of a second, even hundredths of a second. For example, the guy runs a 4.45 forty.

You know another sport where one one-hundredths of a second can be the difference b/w winning and losing? Track is one; swimming is another. You know what THEY do to their hair to gain an edge? They SHAVE it; all of it. Arm hair and leg hair, too.

And surely you know why… Because studies have shown it to be an aerodynamic “drag” (translation for GT fans: hair catches the air and slows you down)… on the track, in the water, and on the field. I KNOW you nascar fans out there know what I’m talkin’ bout.

So, I put it to you, Dawg-with-the-dreads-flowing-down-your-neck-so-far-that-I-can’t-read-your-name-on-that-beautiful-UGA-jersey: Is your hair slowing you down? And, if it is, couldn’t that cost you a tackle or a reception? And don’t some games come down to one tackle or one catch? And couldn’t one game be our season?

OMG, what if (gasp) your hair costs us our season??? I know you like how you look, but you don’t dig them dreads THAT much, do you?

Your teammates, your coaches, and your fans want you to do everything you can to be the best player you can be. In the weightroom, on the practice field, and in the barbershop! Cut it now… for the entire Dawg Nation… get it cut!

Gotta bounce. This is OldSchoolDawg signin’ off. Peace Out.

Oops! Forgot to mention, somebody could pull you down by that pretty ponytail, too.

Falcon 80, You never say never but in the case w/ Spurrier & Tech I would gamble that that will never happen. He has a distinct disdain for Bill Curry when Curry told him that “he would never make a good FB Coach”. I think Steve should now retort back “You will never make a good Color Commentator” Old School-I take it that your handle says it all but I offer Sampson…and we all know what happened to him. I trust Coach Richt that if he doesn’t have a problem with it then I don’t. I do know he has a strict no facial hair policy during the season. Cocknfire-No true Dawg fan expects the Cocks to come into Athens uninspired. For all the AJC’s overblown “most hated Coach” crud I found it amusing that SC Fans voted UGA their ‘Most Hated Rival” with an 80% vote taken by The State newspaper. I fully expect SC to have some extra juice for the Dawgs but really don’t think it will be enough. Dawgs continue the streak 27-13!!!

Methinks too many of you forget some of the totally classless and unnecessary remarks this guy has directed at Georgia, our program, and our coaches, but more importantly one ocurrence in particular. In all my years as an avid college football fan, I have never ever seen a football coach call a time out late in a game he was leading by an insurmountable margin so he could kick a field goal; then make no attempt to reign in his players who were celebrating game’s end on the opponent’s field by grabbing their crotches while waving (some the one finger salute)at the opposing fans and ripping out the hedges bordering the field. It sounds to me like some of you have forgotten that little Sanford Stadium incident. I have not and never will. Be assured, A leopard does not change his spots. Once a classless, obnoxious a-hole, always a classless, obnoxious a-hole. You know, I think maybe some men are just born that way. But you, Steve, are a self made man! ‘See you Saturday.

Too bad you don’t sense a close game. Last year was relatively close and the “genius” didn’t get it figured out then. I can appreciate the fact you believe in your coach. But in this instance you’ll do better believing in the tooth fairy. Don’t look for it to be close because it won’t be. But don’t worry about the score being run up either because that won’t happen

I’ve got to agree with Lake Wales Dawg. Steve Spurrier, is like Mr. Bean, to me. He makes me chuckle a little sometimes, but I still can’t stand the guy. The only time I really even like to see the guy is when he’s frustrated and falling all over himself, when nothing goes his way.

LakeWalesDawg, I didn’t attend the game at Sanford to which you refer and don’t remember seeing the unseemly behavior you attribute to the Gator players after the game. I guess I’m a little naive but I don’t get the significance of the gestures you claim they made. SOS acknowledged that an assistant coach reminded him near the end of the game that no opponent had ever hung half a hundred on UGA at Sanford and so he just wanted to do that to give his opponents something to remember.

Did you resent UT equally for scoring over 50 on the Dawgs last year at Sanford?

As for pulling any leaves off the hedges, I believe our own fans did extremely worse damage to the hedges a few years back when we finally beat UT there after a long dry spell.

Don’t be a bitter old grump. Life is too much fun and the Dawgs are too entertaining to watch without a bad attitude on your part.

no way on tech being a dynasty. how do you figure? they had the world’s greatest player ever last season and couldn’t even muster a win against UGA with a true freshman qb. and this, with all of the superior knowledge and intellect of jon tenuta, the world’s greatest DC. little old uga came into that game and won it outright fair and square. we had paul oliver, who at his tallest is about 5-11, playing against Calvino Johnson, the self proclaimed world’s greatest wideout who cannot be covered by any cornerback (other than paul oliver).

spurrier would not do well at tech because tech does not admit most of the kids who get into USUCK. their academic standards are higher than USUCK’s, though that’s not saying much really.

UGA is the dynasty waiting to happen, not Tech.

Die Hard and self respecting Dawg Fan- I like Spurrier. His ego is why he left UF. He could have stayed and been the best of all time. His ego got in the way. I agree, like him in the league, he could win at most schools , tough job at USC. If you don’t want people running up the score on you don’t get behind. If you don’t want people talking smack beat them on the field. Face UGA hasn’t been able to do either against Florida lately.

You are correct as to why Spurrier left FL, it was because of his ego. He was confident his offense would work in the NFL and was wrong. The reasons he stated for leaving Florida was because of the fans. He stated he could never again be the underdog in the eyes of the Gator nation, the media or anyone else.

I’ve stated before, Qusimoto could have been successful in FL in the 90’s, Look at FSU and Miami. Had he actually stayed at UF he may very well went down as one of the all-time greats. But he didn’t, why?….because he’s completely egotistical and self-absorbed. It is eating him alive that he can’t get USC off the ground. I just don’t see much to like about that. He should have stayed in the NFL, they’re more apprecieative of a “man like him”

If Spurrier currently had the kind of talent he possessed with the gators, he would be the same, obnoxious loudmouth he was a decade ago.

Because if he had that talent level @USC and was able, he’d still be loud, boastful and as obnoxious a$$ he always was. I realize CMR has a little more class, but I’d love for UGA to run up the board on him, just once the way he used too.

Spurrier doesn’t have any choice. He doesn’t run up the score anymore because he can’t, he doesn’t insult other coaches because he can’t. He’s like any of a thousand star college players that thought their elite success and superiority would last forever. Now he’s riding a losing stint with the Redskins and inability to transform SC. Lou Holtz went from 0-11 to 8-4 to 9-3 in three years. The only reason Spurrier is more bearable is because he’s got no teeth.

Reminds me of the fable: A couple finds an injured snake clinging to life and begging for mercy. They bring it inside and care for it until it gets back to health. It then bites them and when the couple asks why it says “hey, you knew I was a snake when you picked me up.”

Everyone has to remember that the Dogs cost Spurier alot as a player. We cost him the championship. We beat him twice when his team was unbeatable. While he was away at the pro-level playing, we constantly killed his teams. So he has some problems with that. Plus, being a hillbilly from Tenn, he was always in awe of those in Georgia. There is no telling how much he got paid to go to Florida as a player, but since they were paying everyone else, and did probation time for it, you know he was paid. So that is why he was so anti- UGA. Not to mention he is one helluva a football coach.

Never have disliked the chickens. Since classless came to the chickens, I’ve struggled as to whether I would want Richt to run up the score on classless. In the end, the players on the feild need a better example. I hope we have third string in by the third and V formation at the end.

I love how fans of a program like Georgia who has been a solid #3 in the SEC East for a decade (after a decade of being mediocre - see Goff and Donnan) seem to get off insulting a program that has been a solid #4 in the SEC East for a decade. I don’t think either has a lot to brag about. Georgia fans are just like Clemson fans - that National Championship from a generation ago inflated your self-image to the point where you still think you’re elite.

Spurrier is doing a good job at USC and it scares the crap out of any Georgia fan with any sense. Georgia is still the favorite on Saturday but you never know, do you?

Hey Weird Al- did you really coin the term ‘Evil Genius’? Really? I made up this term that I think is funny for Phil Fulmer..’The Great Pumpkin’. I also came up with ‘Urban Legend’ before coach Meyers dominance of last year. Those are my terms…not yours.

I am sure coach Spurrier (did you come up with Darthvisor as well?) is relieved beyond words that you like him now. You matter to him. It wasn’t obvious that you were pandering to him hoping he would read your column and nod at you in the next press conference. My suggestion would be to revert back to your frizzy long perm hair due of the 90’s to get noticed by him.

At least we are within 6 months of your March Madness pool. Give it a few more weeks please before you start your “Everybody Look at Me” campaign.

Mark, I disagree with you. One of the best moments in the life of being a college football fan is watching the game on TV and seeing Spurrier get that little crooked smile on his face when he knows his team will not win.

That smile says “My team has screwed up and I warned them that this could happen, but they didn’t listen and see now what’s happened.” I have seen entire crowded sports bars laugh and applaud when the camera shows him with that little smile and his team behind and unable to stop the clock.

Seeing Steve take it up the rear and have to be gracious and humble to the opposing coach when it is killing him is one of the great things about college football.

I wonder how many times a day he regrets leaving UF and winding up at SC?

Impressions of Spurrier are typically based on two components - how he appears on television and what you read in the paper. On TV, during games, he typically appears frustrated because the guy is a perfectionist. In papers, you only get what the writer delivers. In general, the media loves playing to the Spurrier-is-a-Jerk persona and you all are feeding off that.

Believe me, you are never given the full story on Spurrier. Here’s one minor example. After Katrina, he gave $250,000 to the Ninth Ward resurrection fund.

The only thing that is keeping Spurrier from winning big at USC is the talent disparity. With a #4 ranked (per ESPN) class last year, this gap should be narrowing.

Even Vandy was “jumping up and down on our G” (as Munson said) after downing UGA on your home field last season. (Vandy!) Gee, that’s what visiting teams do when they win on the road. They celebrate.

Corporatedawg and everyone else,

Let’s not be too quick to forget: Spurrier’s insecurities RE: GA and his unending hatred for our program began long before his coaching career. He’s still trying to get over the Dawgs embarrassing him when he played QB for good ol’ FU.

A wise man once said, “Bitterness is like kudzu; if you let it grow in your heart, it will kill everything else.” Kudzu’s not something a long time Floridian would know much about—but Spurrier seems to opitimize the statement.

The icing on the Georgia cake is total rejection by Augusta golfing elites.

He could coach the angels in heaven (well not really, God would never allow that) and I still wouldn’t cheer for him or his team—much less call him likable.

Living here in Columbia I have come to admire the south Carolina fans. They are loyal,never had much,never ask for a whole lot.I think that they deserve Spurrier. He is a good coach and a good person. Like I said, particlarry after lou Holtz,these folks deserve some wins. Just not UGA wins
