Spurrier: "I just don’t sense a hatred between Georgia and South Carolina that there is between Georgia and Florida."

Aaaannnnd… the obvious musical retort:
Filed under 'Cock Envy, The Evil Genius
“And Georgia fans, don’t be turds. Enjoy this. Soak it up. It’s awesome. If you don’t win this year, it’s still not a failure. It’s a heck of a run. Back-to-back in the Playoff era hasn’t been done. So, to ask for a third I feel like it’s gluttonous. I feel like it’s not OK. But we’ll be in the mix.”-- David Pollack, On3.com, 5/9/23
Almost forwarded this earlier.
“I don’t get near the hate from the Georgia side I used to get,” said Spurrier. “It’s hard, you’ve got to realize it’s hard for Georgia to really get mad at South Carolina. They’ve got so many teams they’re mad it or are mad at them. It’s hard to get another big rival for Georgia. They’ve got Georgia Tech, Florida, Auburn. They almost had a fight with Vanderbilt a couple years ago, some of their coaches, at least…We still haven’t beaten them enough for them to sort of circle South Carolina. But we’ve been fortunate the last few years.”

He’s mellowed a little. Actually admitted we outplayed his team after the 2011 game.

I have not listened to local sports or read the sports section the past two weeks. I live in Greenville and it has been painful. Hopefully things go our way Saturday and I can relish watching and reading.

I may not have hatred for USCe, but I have plenty of enmity for SOS. I have 3 wishes for him: First, I hope his handicap goes over 50, Second, I hope the fleas from 1000 camels infest his groin, and lastly, I hope his wife’s legs grow together. How’s that?

He looks like Charley in “Flowers for Algernon”.

Some say he favors Algernon without the Trooper-style visor. There has to be something in the Durham water that gives the Dook coaches the dreaded case of ratface

Add to that the fact that it’s the Smiths, one of the iconic bands of my time in Athens (early ’90s).

Difficult for South Carolina to hate UGA as we’ve laid down for them the past few years.

As bad as Cock fans want it to be, this game just isn’t a rivalry.

It’s odd to me how much the Smiths and R.E.M. have in common, emerging from completely different environments on separate continents, each with a batshit crazy singer, jangly retro-style guitarist, great bassist, and a ton of great songs. I’m a big fan of both.
