College Football and Steve Spurrier

On THIS BOARD, I have watched and listened to folks chirp about Steve Spurrier, both pro and con. I have done that often, and now will probably increase the pace. For the most part, folks are not wrapping their arms around the "self appointed" #1 coach in college football. Sooner or later, the truth comes out. If you are into college football, do or don't like Steve Spurrier, take the time to read this article.

This thread will probably get at best, 10 hits. Can not count the number of folks on this board and others that express their feelings toward Steve Spurrier. Folks, college football is in the hands of people that could give a spit less about you and I. You and I. Drive to the stadiums, buy everything that supports our team, comes down to this . . . . They are about THEY. Not trying to be gramatically correct. I do understand that no one is listening, for the most part. You and I are watching college football disappear, it will be a professional sport (recognized as such) in less than five years.

Here is the long and short. The NFL has always been protected by the NCAA. The NCAA has crumbled. Now the power is in the hands of . . . . football conferences and their leaders(?). The folks that are in the know have this figured out. It is going to be simply this . . . . pay for play. Those that have the goods will run college football. Anyone that thinks that those in charge of college football will pay athletes only x number of bucks, you simply don't see what is going on around you.

Last thing. If you believe that college football as you know it will stay the same, or close to what you see now, hoping I am living five years from now and can hear what you have to say.

Don't know how many times I have been on the stump about losing the game that I and many millions have enjoyed over many lifetimes. Check our Constitution out and tell me after reading a portion that alll is ok. In the next two years, anyone reading this post will shake their heads in disgust.

Started this thread and mentioned that there would probably be more.

Steve Spurrier taking shots at Vanderbilt, basically trying to be recognized by the media. Appears SS stepped over some of the "stuff" that his players have done in the past. Things like living free in hotels, that kind of stuff. Is that not the same as hand shake bucks?

Did not like a particular beat writer, tried to get him fired.

Now we have this . . . .

Duck, South Carolina is coming apart at the seams. Better buy several buckets of chicken for your neighbor(s). Worth watching the recruiting efforts by South Carolina for 2014 season. High school players this day and time are not relating to SS's bullspit.

SS came after Langley in Athens, had some success. One thing missing, Langley did not draw back on a couple of missed assignments by those on his side of the ball. Appears to me that Langley figured this SS thing out and chose the right place to show his football ability. Like Langley, not much I can say on the positive side about Spurrier.

I didn't want to start a new thread, so I'm putting this here. Do NOT read this drivel unless you just feel like being angry the rest of the day:

You were right ... should not have read

Sorry if I ruined your day.

There were so many things in that article that were silly and preposterous that I couldn't even get mad about it.

Sounds like Wetzel wants to marry Pete Carroll
