First you have that pesky little gnat at The State, Ron Morris. He's critical of Spurrier (think Columbia's very own John Adams), so Spurrier decides he doesn't want the dude at his press conferences any more. He calls in a favor to the newspaper and has him removed from the Carolina football beat. (After he started refusing to do press conferences with any print media in the room, with no apparent objection from the USCe athletic department.) Now he's showing up soused for the taping of his weekly TV show, with no admonishment from the university. And this is not the first time that questions of Steve Spurrier's apparent love for booze have arisen.
By all appearances, Spurrier's success at USCe has persuaded the AD to give him the keys to the program and just let him do as he pleases. Joe Paterno, anyone? Carolina better hope that Spurrier keeps his nose clean because there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of institutional control over there just now.

And don't forget his classless barbs at Dabo Swinney after Swinney was very complimentary of Marcus Lattimore after he got hurt last year. I seriously think there may be some mental issues, or dementia, or something going on there. :frown: Title: Re: When you reach a certain age, you just don't give a shizzle anymore Post by: BanditVol on October 02, 2013, 06:54:32 EDT Spurrier classless? Say it isn't so. That would be very out of character for him. :naughty:

Title: Re: When you reach a certain age, you just don't give a shizzle anymore Post by: Coupe De VOL on October 02, 2013, 09:59:37 EDT I remember Majors doing the coaching show drunk after the win over Notre Dame in the 70s.

Attack, attack, attack! Yep, remember that. Also remember that after we beat Notre Dame that Saturday in 1979 we went to Jackson, MS and got absolutely rolled by Ole Miss the next week. That drive home from Jackson was one of the longest after game drives home I ever made - right up there with the loss (okay, tie actually, but it felt like a loss) at Auburn after we led by about 70 points in the 4th quarter, the loss to that moron Steve Tanneyhill the day they filmed that stupid The Program movie in Columbia, and then the 44-0 ass kicking we took at Athens. Ah, memories - and not very good ones at that. :banghead: Title: Re: When you reach a certain age, you just don't give a shizzle anymore Post by: Coupe De VOL on October 03, 2013, 07:57:13 EDT Attack, attack, attack!

At least we had a shorter ride home than you did (Memphis), but most of my school friends were dang Rebel fans! That was indeed a tough loss.

I HATED him 15-20 years ago, but with getting older (me) find him pretty funny. Title: Re: Post by: midtnvol on October 04, 2013, 12:50:31 EDT I bet he would too!

You must live in a strange world if you relate these two situations. :dielaughing: |
