It really is a lot of fun to do, you know? I grew up during the development of the UT-UF rivalry in the '90s, a painful time for most of us. I hated watching us get smoked by the likes of Shane Matthews, Danny Wuerffel, Doug Johnson, the Bachelor, etc. On top of all the pain associated with losing, I hated those games because they gave Spurrier a chance to make some snide remark and get away...

But it seems that the South Carolina football season doesn't really begin until late October or early November. And here we are again. Forgive me if I'm not very optimistic about how the next...
... the pastGators Chuck Heater said current coaches and players respect South Carolina coach SteveSpurrier, who won the and coached to the 1996 national title. The Gamecocks (6-4 overall, 3-4 SEC) host the Gators (9-0, 7-0) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m."We all have high regard for Coach Spurrier," Heater said. "I know he loves the Gators. But he's working someplace else and he's going...
... was in the mix for the Irish job in 2001. He declined . (Florida also came after him to replace SteveSpurrier at about the same time.) Notre Dame, having failed miserably in coaching hires since Lou Holtz departed in 1996 , will be desperate to bring in a proven winner. And not just to get back to success on the field - but for the NBC TV contract. After Notre Dame gets shut down...
It's all about him now. Whether Dan Snyder secretly wanted this when he bought the Washington Redskins a decade ago is less intriguing a question than why it took so long to become clear, but then, there were so many distractions along the way. There was so much free-agent cash thrown about, year after year, and the rise and fall of SteveSpurrier, and the return of Joe Gibbs, and the...

... to their struggles is an offense that has scored just 13, 14 and 6 points the last three weeks. SteveSpurrier’s team is wearing down and now they go on the road for a second straight week and play their first game on artificial turf against the SEC’s top dog in yards per play (6.8) and no. 2 total and scoring offense. Arkansas has scored at least 40 points in all four home games...
... Hogs are that low in rushing yards, as Petrino-coached teams typically run the ball well. (Like SteveSpurrier, Petrino is known for his passing game but in reality wants to use a balanced offense to set up big play opportunities.) Considering that we defend the run poorly and that Arkansas tailback Michael Smith is probably going to be back in the lineup, don't be surprised if Arkansas...
After their 31-13 loss to Tennessee last Saturday, the South Carolina Gamecocks (6-3, 3-3) must be thinking, “Uh oh, here we go again,” as they travel to Fayetteville this weekend. The 11:21 kickoff will be televised by the SEC Network. The phrase ‘late season swoon’ just doesn’t do the last two years justice for Coach SteveSpurrier and the ‘Cocks. Some have more accurately described...
