(from SDS):

Steve Spurrier explains to Paul Finebaum how long it realistically would take to get teams ready to play




“Most all coaches would tell you that the staffs that have been there for 2, 3, 4 years or more that it’s not that big a deal not having spring football,” Spurrier said. “Maybe if you had competition at quarterback or some other positions, it would be important, but preseason, if you can get a month in before you play, I certainly think everyone would be capable of playing — maybe not quite their best, but pretty close to playing the best they can.

“Right now, I think that’s what we’re all hoping and praying that colleges can get 3-4 weeks of preseason and then, hopefully, we’ve gotta have fans in the stands. I don’t know how you play college football without the fans. They make it what it is. To me, that’s why it’s the greatest sport in the world. The fans talk about it year-round.”

Some images of Steve Spurrier over the years - like I said earlier, I hate seeing him grow older:

First pic, maybe our worst ever uni combo. Not just orange, but reddish, almost highlighter type orange pants. Absolutely dreadful.

On the second, perfect example of how balanced Spurrier really was on offense. Even if it did evolve throughout the game, he still had a very effective ground game most of the time. Also, how did our '96 secondary give up 275 yards passing to one of those mid-90's Lsu teams? We must have sat everyone in the 2nd quarter.

Where the hell did the last 30 go?

:-(

I have a picture of him and me in that polo from the summer of 89 football camp stored somewhere at my parents house.

That was common back then, teams would fall so far behind they started throwing on every play....skewing the stats.

In 1982, we got our ass handed to us by UGA 44-0 (we were ranked 20th and they were ranked inside the top 10). We passed for 402 yards or something like that.

Summer of 90? In the summer of 89 he was preparing to coach Duke.

First, how did BOTH of you fit in that polo?

Second, was SOS creeped out by your request? That's taking fandom several steps too far.

No, either and white or orange Florida Gator Football Camp tee shirt.

Seems like that would've been tight.

Tip of the hat CG.

Don't let CG take some of your credit, no Eagles fan should allow that... now go to his house and burn down his house like a good Philly fan.

For starters, I wouldn't dream of doing something like that to fellow GC member. Not all Eagles fans are animals as you suggest.

Also, I already put "CGgater" into Google Maps. I got nothing.

Lotta confusion out there over how to do the whole social distancin’ thing. Here’s a helpful tip: just pretend you’re a Georgia defender facing second and 26.

You want an easy way to get folks in Knoxville to go home? Tell ‘em it’s the fourth quarter of a home game.

Heard all that talk about N95 and assumed people were asking, “when was Tennessee good at football?”

Dude, I commented before sofla. It’s rare I get to be the first one to the punchline on here. So when I do, I want ALL the credit!

So many of you guys are freakin hilarious (it’s why I hang out here) and so by comparison, my victories are few and far between. Don’t take this one away from me.

Maybe sofla should google map “thedouglas78.”

The fact that you checked for me on google maps is a little distressing.
