Spurrier’s still fixated on that schedule thing.
Spurrier on UGA,'They got plenty of RB's at UGA…they got the easiest schedule so that's why they're picked. They play OM, we play LSU.'—
Paul Finebaum (@finebaum) July 03, 2012
Vandy’s got an easier schedule than the ‘Cocks, too. So how come nobody’s picking the Commodores to finish ahead of South Carolina?
I tell you what – it’s about time for Evil Richt to emerge and start needling Spurrier about this. The seed’s already been planted in the OBC’s head.
Maybe by the time we cycle through this phase of the schedule, the Cocks will get a top 10 OM and we’ll get a 3-9 LSU. Look forward to Ball Coach tweets if that happens.
Whiney. Ass. Bitch.
+1
that bitch can kiss my ass everyday of the week and twice on sundays and 10 times on a holiday
oh and 50 times on a saturday in Athens or Columbia
If the whiny bastard is this OCD about it now, what’s he going to do if UGA wins the East? I’ll tell you what he’ll do….he’ll tell anyone that will listen that even if UGA wins the SEC Championship game in Atlanta, they don’t deserve a shot at #1 because they had such an easy schedule. And the sad part is that he will probably prevail in his mission to deny Georgia that chance. His hatred for Georgia will trump his loyaty to the SEC, if he ever had any. The guy seems to have everything, but his obsession with Georgia is making him sick. How sad…kind of. He would have made a damn good nerd. Maybe that will be his next step in his obsession…to replace PJ at GT. He would find plenty of like-company at the nerd factory.
I would be pissed if anyone bought that line of reasoning, but I wouldn’t be particularly angry at Spurrier. My love of Georgia trumps my SEC pride. I don’t give two farts if another SEC team makes it to the NC game or not. But I would be steaming mad (though not really surprised) if such an argument kept us out of it.
“I don’t give two farts if another SEC team makes it to the NC game”
Okay i might not be the sharpest tool in the shed but what are you saying? i’m saying SEC SEC BABY.
I stay confused
Hey! Watch it! That “nerd factory” remark will hurt Debby’s feelings.
It does not hurt my feelings. I hate GT sports with the best of them. The Saturday after Thanksgiving we are a house divided. We don’t even watch the game together.
debby you know dam well you tailgate and watch it togather
how the hell could you not watch the georgia vs georgia tech game together? hell that is one of my favorite games to watch with family and some are georgia tech fans
Usaully the team that is home goes to the game but my daughter and her husband live in Chicago now so they usually miss it. They were here last year but didn’t watch the whole game.
Sour grapes! Poor Stevie you don’t believe your team can win it on their own. I hope Coach Richt papers these quotes all over the locker room for motivation. GO DAWGS!!!
SOS is staying up late, steaming in his hatred for UGA. His nature is pure sociopath in regards to us. Only thing to do is man-up and return fire with fire. You can NOT earn his respect, nor can you shut him up. You MUST boldly proclaim that you are coming to Columbia to kick the Cocks in the knutts. That is the only language that resonates. Fire!
knutts?
knutts are what English Kniggits have. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl8H-rm6kt4
Knothing hurts worse than a knick to the knutts
One thing he’s right about- we’ve got more RBs than USCjr.
Yeah, but the one they’ve got……..
IC is not going to bama or any of the tigers. so stfu with that
is recovering from major knee surgery. No wonder SOS’s sphincter seems to be locking up.
They will still wind up losing to Vandy.
ditto…you damn right and i will bet money on that
Paaawwwwl can bait trolls of all sizes
Interesting. I have no brief for Spurrier, but what’s called OCD for a football coach is called “message discipline” for politicians. He’s got his excuse, he’s focus-group-tested it, and he’s sticking with it. As w/ pols, only way to shut him up is to beat him.
We need to beat him big-time. He’s needling Mark just like he used to needle Danny Wuerffel
Amen. Put a beat down on em and he’ll have to shut his big trap, at least about that. . .
How awesome would it be for Richt to show up this season with righteous indignation……wanting to kick ass and take names…..On a focused mission to out-fox and out-coach every damn coach that crosses his path……something to show the world on his path to a NC and put whiney little bitches like Spurrier in the rearview
If God be with us who can be against us!!
Keese, you don’t think he’s that way every week? I do. Ever heard the old expression don’t talk about it, be about it?
we will play LSU in the SEC championship game and win
Ehhh, I don’t see this as Dawg bait. We do have the easiest sked between UF and USCe, and me thinks that was implicit in the spurdog’s comment.
That logic is flawed if we win the sec championship we would have had to play the teams we are skipping or the team that beat them… Spurrier would only be loudly objecting if we lose to USC, but get in anyway and then lose to the west side… Just like last year
CMR should answer with this…”All USC has to do to keep UGA from being champs is win the East themselves. It’s really up to them.”
Maybe Steve Spurrier thinks we should forfeit the games we will be favored in. Maybe he needs that kind of an advantage. Maybe he should apply at Clemson, but mostly he should take a flying #X*! at the moon !
i can’t wait till we play clemson my wife is a alumnus clemson university. she was in charge of clemson alumni association years ago. its a wonder we’re still married lol
Spurrier is wrong about UGA’s strength of schedule. If you break it down to specific things, let’s say pass defenses:
UGA goes up against 8 top 30 pass defenses from 2011
SC goes up against 7 top 30 pass defenses from 2011
http://www.cfbstats.com/2011/leader/national/team/defense/split01/category02/sort01.html
Both teams will have a tough year if they can’t run the ball well facing 7-8 top 30 pass defenses.
But, regardless of Spurrier’s attempt to portray his team as the one with the tougher schedule, it’s just not as cut and dry as that.
Another example of how UGA’s strength of schedule is HARDER than Spurrier’s.
Looking at how many teams both face who finished ranked in the top 20 in scoring defense, against ranked teams:
UGA faces 4 teams that finished top 20 in scoring defense vs. ranked teams in 2011: Miss St, SC, UF, GT
SC faces 2 teams that finished top 20 in scoring defenses vs. ranked teams in 2011: LSU, Florida
So, I hope people start calling out whiner Steve Spurrier, you can see why if UGA goes on a roll, it deserves to play for the National Championship. If UGA makes it through that gauntlet, against 8 of the top 20 pass defenses in the country, THEY EARNED a spot to play for all the marbles.
Sorry to hijack the thread,
but Andy’s gone, and I don’t feel so good myself.
Win the game in Columbia in October and none of it matters.
huh? hell we need to win in the other Columbia first
Well of course we do, but that doesn’t have relevance to Spurrier’s point. If we beat Carolina, we’re probably alright.
Let’s look at offenses, which team faces better offenses:
UGA faces 1 team who finished in the top 20 last year in offensive scoring against ranked teams, South Carolina (#12)
South Carolina only faces 1 too, LSU (finished #19)
So these defenses will not face hardly any offenses that perform well in big games.
UGA’s toughest offensive scoring vs. ranked teams opponnent was ranked higher than South Carolina’s.
http://www.cfbstats.com/2011/leader/national/team/offense/split13/category09/sort01.html
So, UGA will face 4 teams that finished top 20 in scoring defenses against ranked teams in 2011, SC will only face 2.
Both will face the same number of teams that finished in the top 20 in scoring offenses against ranked teams, 1 team on each schedule.
Overall, UGA has a tougher schedule than South Carolina.
Actually BBagger, UGA played a schedule last season comparable to Bama’s so-called “national championship schedule” but got no credit for it. Get out the 2 team’s schedules and compare them. They are very similar. The big differences between UGA’s 2011 schedule and Bama’s: UGA did not have to play Bama but conversely Bama did not have to play UGA; UGA did not have to play Arkansas but did play South Carolina while Bama did play Arkansas but did not play South Carolina (which had beaten Bama the previous year); UGA played LSU once (in the SECCG) and lost whereas Bama played LSU twice (once during the regular season and again in the BCSNCG) and split, losing one and winning one. The OOC schedule for UGA was substantially tougher than Bama’s, too. UGA played Boise, GA Tech and 2 walkovers. Bama played Penn State and 3 walkovers. This whole easy schedule BS is just that–BS. There is no such thing as an easy schedule in the SEC. It’s just an excuse for losers.
Absolutely, 2011 UGA’s schedule was brutal. UGA played 4 teams that ended up practically in the top 10 in the AP.
#2 LSU (ahead 10-7 at halftime)
#8 Boise (down 14-7 at halftime)
#9 South Carolina (lost by 3 points)
#11 Mich State (lost by 3 points in double overtime)
That’s as tough as any schedule in the country.
South Carolina only played 1 team that ended up in the top 11 in the AP.
UGA played 4.

There’s no need for evil Richt when you’ve got TG on your sideline, just ask James Franklin.
He is trying to get into our collective heads. Best to ignore him. Beat the cocks, and it doesn’t matter.
Beat the cocks!
oh we will beat them and beat them good
Yeah, we’re gonna whip those cocks good!!! Whip ‘em and beat ‘em. Beat ‘em and whip ‘em. Goooood!
you have heard it here on this great blog first. I will bet money Vandy beats the chicken shits this year.
Richt should offer to switch Auburn for Arkansas… History will show that would work out much better for us.
WTF are you talking about? I don’t understand. Auburn and Georgia are the south’s oldest rivalry. that is special, i don’t want to lose that. kiss my ass everyday of week.
I think he meant that Auburn has fared better against Carolina historically than Arkansas has, whereas Arkansas has fared worse against us than Auburn has…so if you switch them, Carolina is more likely to lose, and we’re more likely to win. I don’t think he actually wanted to trade the games.
I’m not advocating the switch. It’s the point that historically, Auburn is a much tougher opponent than Arkansas, and as such, we typically have a tougher draw.
have you lost your mind?
have you lost yours?
Meh. Sour grapes. Deep down, he knows we pushed them all over the field all night. Turnovers and special teams came back to bite us. Coincidentally, in a later game where we managed both aspects much better, we beat the snot out of a western foe who shocked S.Car in Columbia.
What a dick.
the old ball coach still has a grudge after all these years from the days when he was QB at florida and we won and beat them
Bill Stanfill is still fresh in Spurrier’s mind to this day.
Vanderbilt’s 17-6 win at No. 6 South Carolina on October 20, 2007. HAHAHAHA
Oh, 2007…the year we couldn’t beat Carolina but Vanderbilt could. Yes, thanks for bringing that up.
yeah that’s like adding salt to the wound. I didn’t mean to lol. damn we should have beat USC. 16-12 damn that game has gave me nightmares
Paging Bill Stanfill..
I know this is counting chickens(gamecocks,whatever) before they hatch but when we leave Williams-Brice Stadium after bitch slapping USC lite the proper thing to say would be” the Old Ball Coach was right this sure is an easy schedule with cupcakes like this on it”
Here’s my dream scenario: Georgia goes up to Columbia and hangs an ass whipping on the Gamecocks. Evil Richt stuffs Pastor Richt in a closet in the postgame locker room and then goes to his press conference and leads off with this: “Coach Spurrier is right, our schedule is much easier than theirs. We get to play South Carolina, but they have to play Georgia.”
Spurrier using the tactics of past masters; distract the enemy from their original purpose.
To judge by the quotes here, he has already done that to the fans. It remains to be seen if the UGA coaches and players will fall for it.
In the 90s, Tennessee coaches and player seemingly fell for this every single year.
Sorry, Mike, I always get lost with these eleventh-dimension chess pointers. What exactly are we distracted from?
As for the UGA coaches, Richt yawned in Destin when Spurrier brought his scheduling proposal up for a vote this year. But maybe a comment in a Finebaum interview will be just the thing to distract him now.
“What exactly are we distracted from?”
Umm…the game between the two teams? Or maybe better said, the preparation for the game.
You think we’ve forgotten they’re playing? Maybe you’ve missed all the comments about going up to Columbia and kicking their asses.
I think you’re making a bigger deal out of this than we are.
Perhaps. Save for Spurrier’s past success with these kinds of mind games, I might even agree with you.
He’s been gone from Florida for more than a decade. I think the mind games stuff is overrated at this point.
