DEL.ICIO.USHerschel takes Spurrier’s bait
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Terence Moore
Another round of hugs from Herschel to Knowshon had to wait. First, Mr. Walker, as in “He’s running over people!” and as in the most passionate former Georgia player you’ll ever meet, had to get something off his considerable chest.
It involved Walker’s version of Steve Spurrier sucker-punching everybody in the Bulldog Nation. “Did you hear about this?” Walker said over the phone, still smoldering over Spurrier’s critique of the entire Georgia team rushing onto the field en masse last month in Jacksonville. To the dismay of Spurrier and those into professionalism, coach Mark Richt ordered his Bulldogs to get an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty while celebrating their first touchdown during what became a victory over Spurrier’s old Florida team.
Anyway, Spurrier took a break from his current role as South Carolina coach to become as equally unprofessional. He said he would have sent one of his third-stringers into that Dog pile to create a fight. As a result, Spurrier said the Gators would have prospered in the long run since the SEC would have delivered a slew of suspensions to Georgia players.
“Well, you know, is that not insulting? That’s totally insulting for a coach of his stature to say something so stupid,” said Walker, getting angrier by the syllable. “So my question I say to him is, if he’s got that much guts, why don’t he step in a ring against me? You don’t say something that silly, because you’re going to get somebody hurt. Georgia was punished, because that’s a penalty. They didn’t go out to hurt anyone. [Spurrier] talks about hurting somebody. How much guts do you have? Step in a ring with me, and then we’ll see.”
A slightly calmer Walker was at the Florida game, but he left long before halftime to catch a flight to Southern California. He was off to de- velop a reality television show (“I can’t tell you about it yet”) with Hollywood types. Until then, the Wrightsville native will continue to run his profitable food-service business of more than a decade from two cities. There is Dallas, his hometown since his Cowboys days of the latter 1980s, and there is Savannah, where he located with the mind-set of hiring Georgia folks, with Bulldog connections or otherwise.
The man bleeds red and black, which is why he bemoans the fact that his eternal traveling often keeps him from between the hedges. “I really have a chance to attend more away games than home games,” said Walker, who witnessed Georgia’s victory at Alabama this season in addition to parts of that Florida game. Even so, he will be in Athens on Saturday for the Kentucky game, and he plans to be at Bobby Dodd Stadium the week after that. So Walker will have more live chances to study Moreno, the twirling running back sensation for the Bulldogs who is creating nearly as much of a buzz around Georgia as a freshman as You Know Who did.
“I tell you what. He runs extremely, extremely hard for a guy his size,” Walker said of the 5-foot-11, 207-pounder from Belford, N.J. “I knew a little bit about him when they redshirted him, and I told a lot of people, wait until they see this guy play, because he’ll get a chance to make it to that next level. I mean, don’t the guy for Dallas right now [Marion Barber] and Knowshon look like the same guy?”
Yep. Barber also is an accomplished spinner during runs.
If nothing else, Moreno is as efficient on the collegiate level as Garrison Hearst, Rodney Hampton, Tim Worley and all of those other Georgia backs after the post-Herschel era in the 1980s. “When I came to Georgia, USC had its stable of running backs, but Georgia has taken that over,” Walker said. “One thing you gotta be able to do at Georgia is catch the ball. Not only do they always have one great back who can do those types of things, they usually have two or three, like Moreno and Thomas Brown now.”
The Bulldogs also have Matthew Stafford, their sophomore quarterback who is improving and impressing. “Being in Dallas, where he’s from, I’ve seen him grow up, watching him play in high school, and he’ll get even better than he is now,” Walker said. “That’s why, even though people said I was crazy, I picked Georgia at the beginning of the year to go to the SEC championship game.”
Then again, Walker is a little biased, and he knows it. He laughed, adding, “If you’re a true Georgia guy like I am, it really don’t matter if they ever do something bad. It still looks good to you.”

Spurrier always has gave rude comments and digs for UGA and he always will. It does not matter what he does for the rest of his life and all his other accomplishments. He did not beat the dawgs as a player and it burns in him deep. It is a instilled hatred. I know somewhere Bill Stanfill is still laughing about Steve crying after he had been sacked. Herschel is an outstanding person. He is the greatest dawg of all but for all of those who have met him know he is just a great of a person as he was a football player. Go Dawgs

I remember UGA all american and all pro Bill Stanfill putting Spurrier on his scrawny little butt numerous times when UGA whipped Florida and Spurrier was “given” the Heisman because the news media was enamored with him. He was a third string bench warmer in the pros. After Stanfill helped Spurrier up for the fourth time after a sack he told Spurrier he should be wearing a dress because he was such a sissy when it came to contact. It was revealed the next day that Stanfill had the flu the day of the game and a temperature of 100. Giving Spurrier the Heisman was the equivalent of giving Jimmy Carter the Nobel Peace Prize. It was politically correct. Go Herschel - how bout them dawgs!

To rory reed.I do not know why I must waste my time with a reply to a lowely attack of a UGA player. But I am. Do not EVER make cowardly comments about people you cannot back up.Especially come over to a DAWG post from what ever ACC wannabe team or whatever team your afraid to defend. Matthew is a teenager that is trying his best to bring the Dawgs another title, and Herschel is an Elite player most players dream of being mentioned in the same story with. He has done more than any former player that I am aware of to help his former teams to this date. So do me a FAVOR and go back to your school’s blog,if they have one. Hopefully one day you can tell Herschel that to his face. No I didn’t think so. GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!

Spurrier is just mad that he never thought of sending his whole team to celebrate after its 1st TD in a rivalry game. He did, however, think to send his 1st string offense back onto the field several times when ahead by 30 points to embarrass his opponent in games long AFTER the outcome was determined. That IS classless and Steve Spurrier IS the alltime primo Rico Cabeza of college football.

UGA has become the Atlanta Braves of the SEC - occassionally winning the division but never able to win the big one; the Linda Lovelace of porn - choking on the BIG ONE; now your head coach resorts to sophmoric antics to get the fans involved. Hell, all you have to do to get the fans involved is win, dumbass!

Are you all blind? This is Terry’s second pathetic attempt to throw dirt on CMR.
“Spurrier took a break from his current role as South Carolina coach to become as equally unprofessional.”
This statement implies that CMR is in the same class as Spurrier! How low can you go Mr. Moore. You are hiding behind the sentiments of the greatest UGA player, at least in my lifetime, to smear one of the greatest UGA coaches. That is so wrong.
Please give the celebration penalty a rest for goodness sake!!

I posted something similar to this before last season on the Stafford/Tebow blog, but it may be more appropriate here about our aging hero calling this fight.
Munson: As we wait for this thing, Spurrier’s dancing around and yelling something at the refs. There’s the bell! Spurrier’s running around from corner to corner. He’s tapping Herschel on the knees every time he goes by. There he goes again, and again, and again! He’s coming around. WHAAACK!!!! OH MY GOD!!! Herscel just knocked him out of his shoes!!!! The visor goes flying!!! Stevie’s crawling around on all fours! WAIT A MINUTE!!!! Who’s the little guy running into the ring?!!! Uga’s loose!!! Uga’s loose!!! He jumps on Spurrier’s leg, NO!!! He’s on Spurrier’s back!!
He sticks it up there. IT’S A LONG ONE!! A LONG ONE!! A LONG ONE!! OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!!

You know what kills me is that a Souf Kakalaki fan would talk any smack after losing and losing and losing and losing and losing, and no I am not talking about the last 100 years or so, but the last 5. If Georgia had lost 5 in a row I’ll guarantee you we wouldn’t be worried about someone else’s board, we’d be discussing coaching. But I’m just glad I can talk about going to a BCS bowl for the third time in the last 5 years and not whether I get to go to another Liberty Bowl or possibly stay home. Man you know, honestly that program is sad, I mean really, they make hall of fame coaches quit. Sad Sad bunch, and I’m being serious too, they are and awful excuse for a proud SEC team, they’ve got NO, I mean NOOOOOOOOOO tradition. None. This guy is talking about thirty years ago and we’ve won 8 ball games for the 11th straight season, and won at least 9 for the last 7. They’ve never won 9 but one time, Man, SAD, SAD, SAD. Go Home Chicken. Don’t care what we do against you, we beat UF, AU, UT, and Tech, I’m good with playing in a BCS bowl every year, I love this team!!!!Get em Herschel, We love you too, Best DAWG ever………Souf Kakalaki is sad

The fact that Herschel would challenge someone so much older than him to a fight speaks volumes about his character.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that Minnesota Viking running back Herschel Walker was taken by ambulance to Irving (Tex.) Community Hospital early Sunday morning after his wife, Cindy, found him unconscious in the garage of their home. Walker told the newspaper yesterday that he was suffering no after-effects from carbon-monoxide poisoning he sustained while sitting in his car in the closed garage.
Walker said he had started his car in the closed garage and was preparing to leave his home when he paused to hear a favorite song on his cassette deck.

So what if Spurrier said he would send a third stringer to start a fight. Guess what……if it helps you win the game then go right ahead. I think that would be smart, especially if the opposing coach wants to send his whole team on the field to celebrate a TD. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t stand Urban Meyer. I think he is nothing but a whiney little female dog. (Got to be clean on here!) Of course I think Tebow is a closet queer also, and I am just waiting for the opposing teams to realize when you have him standing up and going nowhere, give a shot to the knee and he won’t do it again. Yeah call me dirty, but I have seen WAY TOO MANY cheap shots this season that were not called. and Florida is guilty of a lot of them. Anyway, back to why I am commenting. Walker should just let what Spurrier said not effect him. He didn’t mean it directly towards UGA, he meant it in a figurative sense. I am a diehard USC fan, but I have always liked Walker, especially during his Cowboys days. Walker needs to worry about the two devil coaches in the SEC now…..Miles and Meyer. They are the two most unprofessional and classless coaches I have seen in a long time.

Steve Spurrier:
Compiled a 122-27-1 record at Florida from 1990-2001, the most wins for a Gator coach in school history and a winning percentage (.817) that ranked among the top three in SEC history.
Coached Florida to two National Championship Game appearances (1995 and 1996), claiming the 1996 national title.
His 122 victories at Florida from 1990-2001 ranks as the best win total for a coach in his first 12 years at a school in major college history.
His Gator teams appeared in the weekly polls 202 of a possible 203 weeks, including each of his last 202 consecutive weeks. From 1990-2001, the Gators were ranked number one in the polls 29 times, appeared in the top five for 117 weeks and among the nation’s top 10 for 179 weeks.
The only coach in SEC history and one of only two coaches in major college history to lead a squad to six straight seasons of 10 or more wins (1993-1998).
The only coach in SEC history and one of only three coaches in major college history to lead a school to 12 consecutive seasons (1990-2001) of nine or more wins.
One of only five coaches in major college history to have his team ranked in the final Top 15 Poll in each of 12 consecutive seasons (1990-2001).
His UF squads finished in the Top 10 of the polls nine times and six times in the final top five, totals that both ranked second best in the nation over his 12 seasons (1990-2001). UF’s average poll ranking of 6.5 in the decade of the 1990s was second best in the nation.
He achieved 100 career victories at Florida in a faster time period (10th season, eighth game) than any major college coach at a school in the 20th century.
One of only five major college coaches in history and only the second in SEC history to lead a school to 100 wins during a decade (102-22-1 at UF from 1990-99).
One of only three coaches in major college history and the only one in SEC history to lead a school to an appearance in the weekly polls for a period of 200 consecutive weeks.
He and the legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant are the only coaches in SEC history to win as many as four straight league championships. (1993-96).
His 95-22 record in SEC play ranks as the best winning percentage in conference history (.812) and his 73 league wins in the 1990s represents the most SEC wins during a decade in conference history.
The only coach in SEC history to win eight conference games in a season four straight years (1993-96).
The only coach in SEC history to lead a school to nine consecutive January bowl game appearances.
His six outright SEC titles (91,93, 94,95, `96, 2000) ranked as the second best total in SEC history, trailing only “Bear” Bryant’s 11.
Under his leadership, the Gator offense became the only unit in modern collegiate history (since the NCAA started keeping stats in 1937) to score at least 500 points (including bowl games) for four straight years (1993-96). Yale also achieved that distinction from 1886-89 and Michigan from 1901-04.
His 142 career wins ranked among the three highest victory totals in college football history for a head coach in his first 15 years at the helm.
Led Florida to seven appearances in the SEC Championship Game (1992-96, 1999-2000), with five victories (1993-1996, 2000).

Poor old Spurrier. He still can’t quite get over picking his a* up off the field all that day in 1966 when UGA beat him amd his OVERRATED Fl buddies. I was a freshman at UGA in 1966. That was 41 years ago, and, because of that game, the Old Ball Coach’s a* has been eating up his britches ever since. Ain’t that ashame?!

I agree with you.
That classless Bush League show that UGAY put on in Jax was simple taunting, no sportsmanship, type of conduct.
Let me pose the question, would any of you would have thought this was such a great idea if it had happened against your team?

Herschel, you are, and always will be, a “top dawg”, but don’t expect a coward like Spermier to get in the ring with a real dawg like you. He cried like a little girl when Stanfil planted him like a houseplant. The media at the time, felt sorry for Spermier and consoled his crybaby A$$ with a little Heisman trophy. Spermier almost didn’t accept when he found out Stanfil might be closer than 1000 miles from the award ceremony. He had only recently stopped trembling uncontrollably when he heard any dawg bark.(Spermier still has bad dawggy dreams and wakes up wet to this day, crying for his stuffed gator named “puffy” .)

Have any of you actually seen the press conference when Spurrier made these comments?? The comments were totally tounge-in-cheek. It was at the very end of his press conference and he had the reporters laughing and he was laughing himself. The tone and nature of the comments are lost in print. The reaction toward Spurrier is an over-reaction, much like Florida’s reaction toward Georgia’s celebration.

To Herschel,
Did the flood of UGA players rushing the field after the TD not have a good chance at promoting a fight itself?
THINK before you speak! There are many coaches that would have had the same type RE-action, RE meaning not taking the first action, as Spurrier stated in order to man up.
If that happened and Florida did that I am sure the Bulldog Nation would have wanted to send a third stringer into their pile.

You DO realize that Bobby Bowden did just that to Spurrier once no? Spurrier said, “get in a wrestling match” with one of them and get a fight started. He was not talking about trading blows. The atmosphere for violence was already there, started by Richt, witness the second flag on that ploy, which I think was personal taunting. That’s the point. One lousy frosh could have started a war with a shove. Spurrier was also talking about it as a coach far away from the setting, in a hypothetical. Walker’s commenrs, whom you described as increasingly angry on the other hand, as you quote him, is basically personally threatening Spurrier, a much older man. I know your column is meant to stir up the Bulldogs. I don’t think that is necessary. They’re pretty pumped up about the 3 wins in the last 18 years over Florida. How’d they do against Spurrier this year? Oh yeah put up only 12 points and lost. Maybe that’s why Walker is angry enough to want to beat up an old guy.

I don’t like Spurrier, but he’s no dummy. Neither was his predecessor, Lou Holtz. But I think Spurrier understands that USC just doesn’t have the recruiting base to compete consistently in the SEC. And their fan base doesn’t,if they’re honest, expect much more than Spurrier is able to deliver. If he can get to a medium bowl every 2-3 years, get an occasional victory over one of the SEC Big Boys like UGA this year or UF last year, and maintain something like a .500 record against Clemson, the USC fans will be happy and he can stay there for as long as he likes. If he wants more than that, he’d best move on.

A little scuffle is good to get the blood flowing. Richt has his ways and Spurrier has his. I respect Coach Spurrier and enjoy his antics. He is a character and is good for the SEC and for football.

As they say on the Dawgcast… “Hand over my heart as I speak his name,” HERSCHEL is exactly right - Spurrier has taken it to a new low. First by showing how to take a fun, creative celebration and make something bad of it, and secondly by sending out a player (nevermind it would be a kid who NEVER would get to play) to hurt others and get hurt. Steve, if you want to run in to a pile of 60 bulldog players by yourself and start throwing punches, have at it. But if I am a parent thinking of having my son play for either you or CMR who does mission work in the off season and is WINNING, it is a slam-dunk decision. Spurrier, you owe your own team and CMR an apology. If you don’t give it, maybe (Hand over my heart) HERSCHEL can beat it out of you.

Spurrier’s typical scurrilous remarks do nothing for his image but re-affirm his moniker as the “ol’ ball-sack.” Georgia would never go that low as to hire someone so lacking in class and tact. He is a good coach, but that position is also to be a role model for young people, both the current players and kids who hope to someday be players.

Chuck here is a stat for you his last 4 years at Fl one SEC championship that he backed into with two losses.BTW what was his record against his biggest State rivalry look that up Mr stat.How many undefeated seasons?His NC see how many teams got to lose there last game of the season and play for the NC.Pumpkin heads team rushed for over 250 yards against him in there last meeting.BTW he admitted that the SEC had only a couple of teams to worry about during that span.For those that don’t know he had a losing record against FSU.So lets see 3 more years in the SEC looks like its going to be 1 SEC in 7 years.Lets face it he left Fl after going backwards,then there is the NFL that he quit,and with direction he has SC I believe he will quit again.And all you gators that is so proud of his record against us, who didnt beat us during that same span Tn only lost twice Auburn 3 times shoot the insects beat us three years in a row.Lets see MR. stat what is record at SC against Ga with Richt coachinfg its 1 win in 3 trys,can we say 33%.

Thanks for helping to restore interest in the GA/FL game. Beating you dogs year after year after year was getting boring. Of course, next year, things will return to normal and you puppies will tuck your tails between your legs again. Enjoy the win - but don’t get used to it.

Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! Kind of sad when Herschel runs his mouth like this. Get out of the 1980s. Its been a generation since you won a National Championship.
Keep the comments to Moreno, which is one of the best runningbacks in the country. He and Stafford will be good next year.

Spurrier lacks class. Your most rabid gator fan knows this, but can’t admit it, outloud. UF enjoyed its success under spurrier, but it was a win-at-all-cost sort of thing which is why he’s not (outside fla) mentioned with other longtime successful respected coaches. His head got too big for his visor, he dumped his gators & wisely knew he’d never repeat their winning ways there, even as they were wetting themselves at the prospect of spurrier-the sequel.

UGA folks just love to create problems don’t they-so what Spurrier made those comments but then Steve is old school and believe me all the old school players feel the same way although i don’t think our coaches would have had to send a 3rd stringer in there to start a fight we would have already been in the middle of it-Put the shoe on the other foot if any of Georgia’s opponents had done that to them the rednecks in the stands would have been pulling out pistols and knives threatening to kill the other team. Lack of class is lack of class and Georgia showed a complete lack of class by celebrating like a bunch of drunken college kids oh wait they are a bunch of drunken college kids.

You Georgia fans are amazing. Every year it’s the same thing… “just wait ‘til next year!” Your coach is relying on gimmicks to motivate his team. After a while, that gets old. Admit it, if the Florida players ran onto the field after their first touchdown, you would’ve called it “classless”. Alternate jerseys? Wow, that’s original!
Yes, your running back has had a few good games. Proclaiming him the next Herschel is a bit premature. Remember, after last season it was that Stafford was going to light it up “next year”.
The fact is, Georgia can never do what it takes to win EVERY game. There’s always a spot on the team that fails them. Defense, Offensive Line, Kicking game, etc.
The loss to South Carolina was inexcusable. The loss to Tennessee was embarassing.
You are the same fans that were calling for your Defensive Coordinator’s head a few wks ago, calling for CMR’s head.
Now, all of the sudden, you beat a FL team with an obviously injured QB. You beat an Auburn team the same way you beat them last year - not a surprise.
WIN THE GAMES WHEN THEY COUNT - Then you can talk. Georgia is the football version of the homerun hitter who gets all his numbers late in the game when the game’s already lost.

I played Linebacker in college, I’m also a former tough man winner and golden gloves champ. My bet is that I would take him in five. I learned a long time ago that being a great football football player doesn’t mean you can be a great fighter or boxer.

Steve Spurrier has a losing record to GA as a player. Steve Spurrier has a losing record to GA as a coach at SC Steve Spurrier had a losing record as an NFL QB Steve Spurrier had a losing record as an NFL coach Steve Spurrier has NEVER had a undefeated season at any level.
And in his “glory” years he won one National Championship. Clearly he’s the best coach ever.
Tommy Tubberville has gone undefeated So has Phil Fulmer, and Don James, and Levell Edwards, and Bobby Ross, and, Chris Selfo, and Boise State, but Steve Spurrier never has.
Also for the knothead that said GA doesn’t produce the talent Florida does? Georgia has beaten Florida more than vise versa in the All-Star game of its best 50 players. The state of GA has more players in the NFL right now than Florida per capita.
Also, GA leads the series with beaten the “U” more than they’ve lost to Miami, the same for FSU, and the same for Florida.

If Spurrier got in the ring with Herschel he would get his visor knocked off. Spurrier is back at his old tricks, trying to get into the Bulldog Nation’s head. He cant stand it because his team was “RUN OVER” by Arkansas. USC was never a real threat to anyone in the SEC. They caught UGA at a bad time, and took advantage of it. I mean did you watch the USC vs NC game. North Carolina should have won that game. Spurrier knows things are getting bad for him, he is getting very old and he cant recruit like he did in Florida.

Well, you haven’t the foggiest idea what you’re talking about. That ‘80 championship team had a very experienced offensive line and a great defense, it was no fluke. Georgia finished in the top 5 four years in a row, even the year after Hershel left early. They beat Texas that year in the Cotton Bowl, a team many thought at the time was the best defensive team ever. You can’t call that underperforming. Sure who wouldn’t want to win four straight national championships, but get real, it’s never been done and Georgia came as close as anyone by playing for the NC three years in a row in some of the most exciting bowl games ever. Remember the heartbreaking winning TD Marino threw against the dogs when they had him on his back? They didn’t lose that game because they weren’t a great team, they lost because a great player made a great play against a great defense. Win or lose, I’m still proud of the Bulldog legacy and CMR is building on that tradition.

Hershcel is the best and only good thing to come out of Athens. He is the best all time college football running back period; however, this does not excuse the fact that Spurrier hung the Dogs out to dry this year and continues his domination over the Dogs.
Yes, Spurrier needs to shut his mouth more, but he just hates UGA as much as everyone also does, and UGA is such an easy target.

It just kills me that UGA haters don’t get it - they really do not understand that WE ARE THE DAWG NATION. WE - the players, the fans, the coaches, the school. WE win games. WE lose games. WE support the team and the team supports the fans. Look at all the team does for the fans - from the Dawg Walk - to community projects - Football 101 - sideline dancing - playing their hearts out week after week.
Coach Richt and his staff are doing a fabulous job of turning these young men into men of character who are learningto give back, work for something more than self and lead good, productive lives during and after their time at Georgia - and giving us more fun than we ever expected, by including the fans in everything to make the win bigger, better and sweeter for all of us.
We are not the Saban Nation—We are not the University of Tebow - We are not Spurrier’a last great hope for immortality - We are not Carolina. We are the DAWG NATION. We live and breathe as one. And the air in Athens is so very sweet right now - water shortage and all.
I do feel sorry for those out there who just don’t get it. Babk in Black was just a symbol of our unity - it was fun - it was motivating - it was totally electric - Sanford will be forever changed in my eyes and ears. whatever CMR is cooking up for us WE ARE READY! Go, Dawgs!

Uh, Carolyn, I know that UGA doesn’t provide much of an education, but Georgia is a STATE in the United States. You see, there are 50 states in the United States, and the United States is a NATION. There is no Dawg NATION, ok sweetie? One other thing, in the first grade you learn to spell things like CAT, DOG, etc. You know, the easy words. DOG is spelled D-O-G, not DAWG. Ok? Did you fail first grade? It seems you might have a learning disability or something. However, I did love your ‘sweet’ article about your school and fans. Now it’s time to go back to your PTA meeting and Girl Scout cookie drives. OK? Thank you sweetie and you might want to go back to a real school for an education.

How ‘bout the Dawgs taking this bait? Wear WHATEVER (I don’t care, Red, Black) but beat Kentucky in the same fashion as UT beat Arky last week—or like they beat Auburn, then step on the bugs the next week…
I just want them to take care of business in fine fashion and move on up those polls! The end of the season looks great. UT could lose again; putting the Dawgs in line for the SECE and face LSU. If not, the Dawgs still look to be in excellent shape for one of the best bowl selections.
As for has-been coaches running their mouths, who cares what Steve Spurrier says? He went from what, 5th in the nation a few weeks ago to now being “not getting votes?” Real great coaching job there! Tell us ‘C** fans, is SOS on the hot seat yet? He’s washed up anyway. Yeah SC won over the Dawgs this year but it’s moot now. Bet they’d switch places! ESPN radio said yesterday that the best coaching job in the SEC this year was Sylvester Croom (“with what he’s got to work with”). They added that the biggest collapse in the SEC this year is, you guessed it: Steve Spurrier. Ha.
As for me, I’d liked Herschel (and many others) to have ignored Spurrier and not have gotten down in the dirt with him. Spurrier craves attention and that’s what articles like this provide for him.
Go Dawgs! Beat UK!

The remarkable thing is that Spurrier thinks he would be able to as he says instruct a 3rd stringer to start a fight an remain invisible. The 1st thing that would happen is that the 3rd stringer would decide not to fall on the sword but to give up Stevie, which I suppose would end up being a permanent NCAA Ban from coaching.

It appears only about 10% of the people making comments here went to any of the schools they so inadequently represent. This is obvious due to the poor spelling, bad grammer, homophobic, bigoted language wrapped around emotion instead of fact. None of the schools poorly represented teach any of this. Stay on subject people. This is a Spurrier v. Walker issue with both of them not showing their best. Sounds to me like Hershel lost his cool and Spurrier is severly jealous he did not use Richt’s idea first. Whether it is right or wrong, any good coach will take multiple penalties if it will turn the team around. UGA needed a boost and it worked. Watch for Spurrier and others to pull similar antics. The SEC is still the best football conference, but many of the comments made make it look low class and ignorant.

I blog on other teams blogs because I have no life. I wear jorts daily so no one talks to me. My DNA is so f’ed up I was born with a mullet and wearing an orange tank top. Besides there is very little to do at the trailer park except talk smack on the internet.
I live in the 4th most populous state in the country and my in-state competition has been terrible for the last 4 years, and we can still find a way to lose 3 maybe 4 maybe even 5 games this year. I mean that’s sad. Real sad. Some might say pathetic.
I joined in the chorus of boos against the QB that brought us an NC while cheering for the guy thats lost 3 games already this year.
I am just a stupid, smelly loser with nothing better to do.
I might even say something really stupid like Herschel’s mad because he couldn’t beat the Gators. The fact that Herschel beat UF all3 years by a combined 58 points is simply not relevant to people w/o brains.
I can even say that Vince Dooley is mad because he never beat UF. Or that Spurrier beat UGA as a player. Or that UF was not 0-11 in 1979. Or that UF was a relevant football program before 1991. Or that UF has had an undefeated team. I can say all of these stupid and wrong things because being an idiot is the cornerstone of being a Gator.

This seems as good a time as any to renew my call for UGA to petition the NCAA to allow any former player, once they reach 40 years old, with eligibility remaining - regardless of whether he played professionally - be allowed to return to complete said eligibility.
You see Hershel, calling Superior out for a fight is just silly…suitin’ up in the red, or black, or white with red pants (yes I was there and it was glorious) one more season would just be the most wonderful thing that could ever happen. You not only would get one more chance to shove it up Superior’s a**, you could set the all-time, all-time, NCAA rushing record - hell you might even get another Heisman. Whataya say Mark?

“To the dismay of Spurrier and those into professionalism…”
Shame on you Terrance. That was a low blow and you know it. I cannot believe you used Spurrier and professionalism in the same sentence to smack on Coach Richt! The majority of coaches in the SEC thought it was brilliant. Coaches outside of the SEC thought the raid on the field was brilliant motivation. Why don’t you and the former Notre Dame/ SC coach (who will intentioally remain nameless because of my disdane for him. He cheats and ESPN hires him as a commentator..) huddle and a corner and Georgia bash. Just don’t do it in a blog.

It sounds to me like Spurrier is wishing he had just stayed at Florida. SC, who began with high hopes and a decent start, including besting the Dawgs, has seen its season fizzle, as it has every year so far under Spurrier. The Dawgs, whom Spurrier clearly has never had any respect for, have seen the excitement continue to build under Richt’s inspired, sometimes unconventional, leadership. Spurrier’s just a bitter ball coach.

As a Carolina fan and a vehement anti UGA fanatic, all I have to say is go Vols as I revel in the fact that UGA does not have control of it’s own destiny in the SEC. Assuming that both UT and UGA win out, there is only one thing that could taint this glory. That would be UT getting spanked by LSU, sending LSU to the National Championship Game, and providing UGA the both to an at-large BCS bowl bid. I really do hate the arrogance of UGA and the fact that half of its fans did not even graduate high school and would have never even been capable of getting accepted to the university and therefore never really being a member of this abomination known as dawg nation. At least Tennessee, Florida and LSU have won National Titles since the year 1990 let alone 1980. So just let it go. Oh, and of course Herschel would beat up Spurrier. Spurrier is 60-something, that’s like beating up someone’s grandfather.
Now to respond to the point of this column after being distracted by all of the other bloggers, I would have been very disappointed to have seen Spurrier send in a lackey to start a fight during UGA’s celebration. I have seen too many fights on the college football field and I am not eager to see another one involving any SEC team. Spurrier should know better, and I am ashamed to be associated with that comment.

BTW, Since Walker injected himself into this…how many great NFL RB’s has UGAY produced?
I think they fall a distant 3rd behind Auburn and Arkansas:
It began with William Andrews (drafted in 1979). In case you don’t remember him, Andrews rushed for over 1,000 yards in four out of his six seasons in the NFL before a knee injury forced him out. He was simply one of the most powerful runners that football has ever seen, and a good receiver to boot. During his era in the NFL he was one of only two players to ever accumulate 2,000 all-purpose yards twice.
Next came Joe Cribbs (drafted in 1980). Cribbs made the Pro Bowl three times during nine NFL seasons and was Auburn’s all-time leading rusher when he left.
Then came James Brooks (drafted in 1981). Brooks overtook Cribbs as the Tigers’ all- time leading rusher. Further, he played 13 years in the NFL and made the Pro Bowl four times.
Former Auburn back Lionel James was a fifth-round pick of the Chargers in 1984. James played only five NFL seasons, but was known as an excellent receiver out of the backfield (he had 86 receptions in 1985).
The next Auburn back deserves his own paragraph. That’s right, we’re talking about Bo Jackson. This former Heisman Trophy winner started playing for the Raiders in 1987, splitting time between professional baseball and football. In short, he was one of the greatest athletes of all-time before a hip injury stopped the steam engine that was encapsulated in the phrase, “Bo Knows.” He also left Auburn as their all-time leading rusher.
Take a breath because there’s more.
Brent Fullwood averaged 8.3 yards per carry his senior year (that’s right, I said 8.3). He was drafted in 1987 by the Green Bay Packers and played five seasons in the pros, putting up his best numbers in 1989 (821 yards rushing).
Tony Richardson, taken in 1995 by the Chiefs, has enjoyed a lengthy, though rather unspectacular career to this day.
Stephen Davis, drafted in 1996 by the Redskins, has rushed for over 1,300 yards three times during his career and is a two-time Pro Bowl player.
Fred Beasley, taken in 1998 by the 49ers, has survived eight seasons in the NFL, while Rudi Johnson, taken by the Bengals in 2001, has already eclipsed 1,400 yards rushing twice in his short career.
Then there’s the newbies. Teammates Carnell ”Cadillac” Williams and Ronnie Brown were both taken in the first round of last year’s NFL draft.
So there’s the evidence. “Running Back U” definitely resides in Auburn.
Kenny Irons is the next to make it big in the NFL

What an idiot as noted by his awesome grammer and moronic statement “why don’t he step in a ring against me”. Spurrier is despised by the UGA nation because he owned the Dawgs while at FL and beat UGA again this year with a crappy USC team. Spurrier has an impeccable track record, winning ACC, SEC, and National Championships without any blemishes. Why would Spurrier fight Herschel when he’s already beaten the crap out of the UGA nation - that fight is already over…

If a QB and center sees it, they’ll hike the ball to go deep on a free play. If incomplete, they’ll get five yards and repeat of downs! Walker just over reacting! It might be unprofessionalism to Moore, but to me, it would have been a smart move! If Richt can brake rules, Spurrier can too! It’s all fair game!

First of im not a Gator fan probably more of a UGA fan. But what if the whole Gators team went on the field to defend their defense. They had no idea why the UGA team was out there. It could have turned into a Miami brawl. Although the plan did not backfire it could have turned into a disaster. In that case if Richt admitted he sent them out there he would have been fired by UGA.

Herschel would be wise to let this one drop. He has class, and Spurrier does not. As the old saying goes:
Don’t wrestle in the mud with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy the experience.
Bottom line: Georgia crushed Spurrier’s dreams of quarterbacking Florida to its first ever SEC title in ‘66. Worse, Georgia lineman Bill Stanfill pounded on him and rubbed it in his face the whole game, calling him a “sissy” and wondering if he should be wearing a skirt. No success as a coach will ever heal those wounds, because it marred Spurrier’s playing career as a Gator. Ever since, he’s been trying to get payback and will take any opportunity to jab at the school that crushed his college dreams.
Spurrier’s even more edgy now because he has pretty much been a disappointment as a coach for the past 5 seasons, first with the Redskins and now at South Carolina. He’s coming to terms with the fact that his Fun-n-Gun system doesn’t work nearly as well when he doesn’t have superior talent (is it any coincidence that FSU and Miami were also dominant at the same time UF was in the 90s?. That was the pinnacle of Florida high school talent). Take away some great defensive performances by SC over the past 3 years, and Spurrier would be in serious trouble right now (remember the goose egg UGA put up last year? Spurrier does). Now that the SC defense has imploded, we see the results: a 4-game losing streak. He can’t outscore anyone these days.
If you want to silence Spurrier, just say “BILL STANFILL.” He’ll get the message. Spurrier has created a legend out of his 12-year run as UF’s coach, but the truth is he has failed as much as anyone in this game. He couldn’t quarterback his team to an SEC title as a player (something that Ray Goff among others accomplished), he was a complete flop as a pro quarterback, he was a flop as a pro coach, and he has been mostly a flop in his return to the SEC, at least compared to the expectations. Even during his UF run, the Gators were often no better than the 3rd best team in the state of Florida (UF was a combined 5-9-1 against FSU and Miami during that period).
Let it go, Herschel.

Spurrier’s comments were NOT aimed at UGA. It was a backhanded slap on the ugly face that is FSU, and a slight jab at Mark Richt.
History Lesson: Years ago, FSU instigated a PREGAME fight at UF by jumping on their midfield logo. Players from both sides were suspended for the game, starters for UF, but NON STARTERS for FSU. In fact, some of the suspended players for FSU were not even in PADS.
Can anyone guess who the offensive coordinator for FSU was when this fight occured?…yes, it was Mark Richt.

Spurrier is 1-2 against Georgia since taking over at SC, so the ownership thing is ancient history. Last year our Defense put up a big “0” on the scoreboard in Columbia. Does that count as being owned?
Spurrier’s defense isn’t carrying his water anymore, and it has caused your season to collapse. Truth is, he is yesterday’s news because his offense doesn’t scare anyone win it’s not stocked with future NFL players. Once you Gamecocks come to terms with that, you’ll be looking to send him off on a forced retirement, unless you like to lose at least 5 games every year (it could grow to 6 or 7 this year).

Sad. Get a life and stay off the UGA blogs. We have a winning coach and staff and get over the “deal” at UF, the only reason Spurrier hasn’t done something like that is because he’s to busy cussing and downgrading his players on the sideline.

What amazes me the most about die hard Georgia fans, other than the fact that most didn’t even go to Georgia, is the fact that they beat a team once in a blue moon and they forget all about the 10 losses in between the wins! As far as Spurrier goes, I belive his team beat the dawgs back at the beginning of the season! Why would he hate the bulldogs, alot of his victories at Florida and now at South Carolina have been against the bulldogs. All the SEC coaches hated seeing him back in the SEC because they know what is going to happen in a year or two more and that is his teams are going to start winning like his Florida Gator teams did!

I played for Spurrier…and I can tell you that the man’s public persona, in no way, mirrors the private man. He cares supremely about his players, both related to our football and academic activities. He is tough, but fair and urges his players to be similar. I have personally witnessed, on more than one occasion, Coach disciplining a player for what he thought to be a “cheap shot” that was caught on tape, not necessarily called during the game. His competitiveness is only outdone by his intelligence, and I will tell you that most of what he says and does is well thought out and has purpose. He loves the book and philosophy in the “Art of War”. And he has all you UGA fans/players/coaches and most of his “enemies” wrapped around his “psychological finger”. There is no doubt that he would rather beat UGA than any other team and whether he was joking when he said this, I guarantee that it had a purpose when it left his mouth. “Know Thy Enemy”-Coach wins or has an edge in most games before the opening kickoff even happens, especially with the psychological element, and this is why he is one of the greatest college coaches of all time.

Spurrier is just mad that his perennial 5 loss team is in the same position every year. The only difference this year is that he boldy proclaimed that they would contend for the SEC this year. They are very lucky to even be bowl eligible. UGA vs. SC isn’t even a rivalry. They are bottom feeders in the league. The next time TM writes this kind of blog, just ignore it or send in comments like “B-O-R-I-N-G”! Spurrier has been exposed. He is a good coach, not a great one. All those years at FLA he had much more superior talent than the league. And in 96, when he won his only NC, he had a great coach named Bob Stoops as his D coordinator. Even that year, they lost their last game of the season and got to still play for the NC. He is just a loud mouth coach that is washed up. All you silly SC fans need to stop writing on this “Grown Man” blog. It isn’t for boys.

How many of you Spurrier sycophants realize that he is a combined 33-35 since leaving Florida for the Redskins and later, South Carolina?
Spurrier was a really good coach who caught the 3 yards and a cloud of dust SEC at just the right time in the 90s. It doesn’t hurt that Georgia, Auburn, Alabama and LSU had down periods during that time. The only consistently good team in the 90s SEC - other than Florida - was Tennessee.
But Bear Bryant he isn’t. It was once said that the Bear could take his and beat yours, and take yours and beat his. His stints at Kentucky and Texas A&M proved that to be true. Can the same be said of Spurrier? I think the Washington and South Carolina stints show otherwise. Give Spurrier superior talent and he’ll kill you, but put him on an even playing field and he’s just another 7-5 coach trying to stay bowl eligible.

Fan of Spurrier, let me correct you. we are not wrapped around Spurrier’s finger as you suggest. We are just sick of his mouth. Art of War huh. Well sir, football is not war. If Spurrier thinks that it is and that is what he is teaching his players, then that is sick. Real war is going on overseas by people willing to lay down their lives for something far more important than a football game. Again, you prove what a jerk this guy is. College football will be better off when he finally gives up the headset.

You can always tell when Herschel doesn’t get enough attention because he always tries to start something.
Herschel Walker. You were a great player 20 years ago. We don’t care about you anymore.

Spurrier’s comment is a few weeks old.
The UGA comments are hilarious.
Some of you can’t really think this way. I hope not.

First Spurrier does not know what the word “Professional” means. Nor does Terrance Moore. Both are like little kids who like to throw out bombs and then watch everyone scramble. As for Herschel, he got it right. Threatening to start a fight, and this from a grown man, is far worse than anything Mark Richt did. Lastly, I would pay to see that fight, but Spurrier has more sense and Herschel would kill him.

Can’t disagree with you about our QB moreno. He does suck. At times he’s brilliant, but I would rather have good old boring Consistency. I gotta disagree about Campbell though. What first year starter in the NFL do you know of that has done anybetter. Even the Great One Peyton Manning had a learning curve to go through when he made the jump to starter.
BTW, do you really think that Georgia would have beaten Florida if Tebow had been healthy? I don’t think so.

Herschel was an all-time great who brought credit to UGa as a player and an alumnus, but I don’t see much difference in Spurrier’s behavior and that of Richt. Sending the team to celebrate in the end zone was illegal and dangerous. It was an example of bad sportsmanship instigated by a coach—just like what Spurrier suggested. Encouraging players to rap dance on the sidelines is another example of bad sportsmanship. I am a UGA grad, but I won’t be wearing my UGA hat until Richt and his players start behaving with humility and sportsmanship, instead of like a bunch of arrogant thugs.

This morning the ‘TRUE GATOR” asked if Herschel even graduated from high school?
Well Wally, down in Alligatorland, you will take anybody. But Herschel Walker was the valedictorian in a class of 109 grads in HS. Next time you open la mouth, know what you are talking about first. You won’t look like such an idiot.
For slower Gators—- please reread last paragraph!

Yes you did … but hell … even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then! But don’t worry if you don’t get invited to bowl … you’ve already won your bowl game. After all beating the Dawgs is the biggest thrill you chickens will have this year! That’ll certainly ease the pain of losing to the Tigers in a couple of weeks and ending up 6-6. Hmmm I wonder if Clemson will deep fry Cocky like a Thanksgiving Turkey.

PS - endzone celebration was a ballsy call, but you see who got the W. and 3rd quarter of the AUB game got a little shaky, but then the “thugs” did their “rap dance” and we saw who got the W.

Of course Spurrier might have had two if he hadn’t lost to Nebraska 62-24 in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl. I don’t think Tom Osborne liked Spurrier’s mouth either!

Spurrier could never “own the Dawgs”. He may have the W’s, but he nor Florida will ever, ever have the class of UGA. There are many of you out there that aren’t intelligent enough to understand what Mark was doing at the Florida game. A good coach is a motivator. A good team enjoys what they are doing. That applies to life after football.

Steve Spurrier is saddened by the fact that he no longer has a rivalry game on the level of Georgia vs. Florida. I know this is awkward, but as a Georgia fan, I like Steve Spurrier. He’s a great coach despite the hateful things that he has said about Georgia down through the years. I think it would be in his best interest to keep his nose out of Athens and try to man the ship in Columbia. GO DOGS!!!

Herschel was a great college RB, but admit it. He took professionalism to a whole new level for amateur athletes. One of the highest paid RB’s in NCAA history. Then sold out to the USFL only to become a so-so in the NFL. Maybe just a bit better than so-so, but will never see Canton from the inside.

Kinda funny given that Rict was on 680 the week before UF/UGA talking about a fight btwn UF and FSU that resulted in a 3rd string player for FSU vs. a 1st string player for UF being ejected. Then he joked about trying to get Tebow to take a swing before the game.

S.O.S ( Steve on a shingle) Has always been p** because he never won a title as a player because of the Dawgs, especially his Heisman year. He will use the Cocks just like Granny Clampett (lou Holtz) to get an announcing job………ESPN god what a crappy bunch. No one EVER went from coaching Carolina to a better coaching job………. His dead end is fast approaching.

I guess the phrase “tongue in cheek” is lost on the brilliant Mr. Walker. I would say, having heard the comments Spurrier made on a recording of the interview, that the comments quoted in the article were made in a joking fashion. Get a freakin’ clue, and while you’re at it, a life, too.

Good call Chuck. Cambpell has all the tools to become the real deal. He could use some receivers to throw to though. But about the Ga/fl game, I think it was our time to win. I called a W against Fl at the begining of the season. Unfortunately, I also called a loss to GA tech. That Tech game has me scared stiff for some reason. Call me crazy. Our D also doesn’t match up very well against KY’s prostyle attack. Another shootout, I give our bend but don’t break style of D the nod, but if we don’t score over 30, it could be a bad day… This also worries me….

Oh people. You sadden me as a human. You guys are cheering on Herschel wanting to physically hurt Spurrier, and this is based on a silly question asked of Spurrier who stated he have some start a fight?
Ok, I’ll say it again. You are cheering on someone to fight but offended when someon else states something about a fight?
This is the silliest thing I’ve ever read. This is at the level of 2 fourth graders exchanging “Your momma” quips.

Get a life Herschel. Maybe you’d like to stage the contest with Spurrier in the Clemson endzone since you’ve NEVER seen it!!!! How manly of you to challenge the old man. You showed your true intellect (orlack thereof) by falling into the trap. Is the hook still in your jaw?
Separately, it is interesting that the SEC did not fine UGA or the pretentious Richt when UK got more punishment for less after the LSU victory.
Seems to be another whiny bulldog saga.
