If Florida wins in Jax, the Gators clinch the East. That doesn’t seem to matter to Steve Spurrier.
Most SEC teams hope to wind up playing in Atlanta. Spurrier coaches hoping that Georgia won’t.

Spurrier on UGA-Florida: "I'm pulling for Florida" Not sure if he knows the only way for Gamecocks to win East is with UGA win

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23
All the more why I am tired of losing to his sorry ass.

Dude is nearly 70 years old, ….cut him a little slack…He is still recovering from a complete ass whipping by a team that was a total dumpster inferno just one year ago. And a school where until late Saturday afternoon he was still considered a certified genius.
Steve is having a little trouble dealing with his own mediocrity.
If anybody ought to understand the propensity for inanity following a complete ass whipping, you would think it would be us.

Help me here- even if we & Mizzou beat fla, thats all the sec games they have left, giving them only 2 losses & the win head to head vs Sakerlina. By my math it’s either us or fla, so he can pull for whoever the heck he wants cuz their basically eliminated, right? What am I missing here..

What chu do, dude is to go to the hat store, right….go to the row of Georgia hats….close yer eyes and pass your hand slowly over the hats, if one of them “feels you” buy it. If none of them do, they are probably not official hats and will be worn by offensive linemen, if you get my drift.

It is complicated.
Basically, he has to hope for a three team tie at 6-2 all around. That would give it to South Carolina by other tiebreakers. Florida would first be eliminated due to having two divisional losses (since their only other second SEC loss can be Mizzou). SC would then hold the head-to-head tiebreaker over us, no matter who our second SEC loss would be to.
At least the potential three way tie wouldn’t go down to BCS tiebreakers this year…

Posted something like this in another thread. You’re 100% right. SOS’s biggest failing as a coach? Never took FSU seriously. All he ever cared about was beating UGA and winning the SEC – good goals to be sure but the UGA stuff bordered on paranoia, and still does lol.

Cojones–I guess I was refering to the fact that some were saying they were pulling for fla against sakerlina—I will never pull for fla–we are the same age-I grew up watching us beat them even when they were a stronger team-I do understand your message to me however !—somehow I think it means more to our generation–I pray we come out on fire–by the way I spent some time in the Army before graduating in 79

I was in during early 60s, when Nam was official as a war. My good friend in Law School and Athens native was in at the same time and was the Provost Marshall of Da Nang. He had a much touchier job than I did, having never been “in-country”. “Great” Scott was also Army before he played at UGA.
Concerning college/Army, I had the great pleasure of signing two early-outs for two drafted guys in order that they could return to their interrupted college career plans. One, my jeep driver for payrolls, was a conscientious objector and when I asked him why he range-qualified with a 45 pistol and was a CO, he replied that he had to wear it for payroll pickup (as did I) and if we were held up, he was familiar enough with the weapon to load and pass it to me. Made sense and we both trusted my aim. Good guy, as were many we never will hear of again from that era.
Is now a good time to confess that I pulled for FU? Mightily. I wanted the Dawgs to get another chance. Now let’s see what they can make of it.

No rings? What do you define as rings? Cause Holtz and Spurrier both have NC’s to their name.

Comment was about SC’s program but since you bring it up, there is no NC so rings are fake claims. However, SOS does have SEC rings from his coaching time at FU….but none for playing there. I guess Holtz won a conference title somewhere, but not in the SEC (SWC?). Not sure. But it is obvious you can apply all the negatives being used against CMR against SOS, dude has forgotten how to coach.
