There’s a fine line between whining and fixating and Spurdog’s about to cross it.
Surely he jests. Are we honestly supposed to believe he hasn’t seen a single goddamned thing written about Georgia’s schedule in the last two weeks alone?
It’s getting close to the point that I want Georgia to win the MNC not for the title itself, but just to see if the OBC’s head really will explode in the offseason.
would love to see a ricky-o style head clap gif from lsufreek.

If the Dawgs get the chance to rub out ND, I sincerely hope the 2013 game is not on the same level as that ’81 affair.

Without knowing the context, I’d say that was what he was talking about, mostly. But you have to give him props for the quote of the day and for whatever he said on Rome’s show that somebody noted here. Just when I start to like Spurrier, he reminds me why I hate him, and vice versa.

mostly for the Rome comment – the QOTD isn’t really giving us much props, just a halfhearted observation.

Regarding the QOTD – Since inception of the SECCG, Alabama has been there 8 times, 3 times since CMR took the reins in 2001. CMR has taken the Dawgs there 5 times. No question this was a dig from SOS, and not a compliment.

Someone in the media needs to do their damn job for a change and ask this moron if he’s taken his concerns to his administration to lobby for an extra conference game to even out the scheduling.
Of course, that would require members of the media a) using their brains and b) having the integrity to ask a tough question. It’s rare that one of those 2 things happens and even rarer when both occur…and much rarer when it’s a member of the sports media.
