This is true.
Steve Spurrier: "Some day we're all going to have big, fancy beautiful facilities, and guess what? Somebody is still going to lose."

“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
A Spurrier quip that doesn’t mention Georgia?
Now that’s man bites dog. Alert the media!

Man I wish he would do commentary for at least one season.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m going to miss the Ol’ Ball Coach when he’s gone. Nobody else can encapsulate hard truths in pithy quotes quite like Spurrier.

Tru dat, Paul. I just wish he hated Auburn as much as he hates Georgia.

He finally said something that makes sense. There is yet hope in this worls after all.

Spurrier navel gazing and wondering what it all means and whether it’s all worth it? Stick a fork in him. In his mind, he’s in crescent beach.

Great point by Spurrier, I wonder what the excuses for losing will be then?

I have never heard anyone use facilities, or lack thereof, as a reason to excuse a loss. It is just one tooth in the saw, you have to include the entire list of factors that contribute to winning and losing. Can the perception of comparatively poor facilities, or a lack of commitment to the football program influence one, or some, recruits’ decisions on where to “take their talents”? Of course, but who is to say that commit would have been a difference maker at that school? Or is one coaching decision, on one specific play, totally responsible for a loss? Of course not, but it doesn’t preclude some from carrying that torch.
Facilities are just one piece of the puzzle, and far from the most significant one. I assign no blame for lack of facilities at UGA being a reason for any loss, but it may be a symptom of a more serious issue that needs to be addressed. This may have been what we are seeing change in the past two weeks at BM and, if so, it probably came from people outside that building. I have no confidence that mcgarity just all of a sudden “got it”.

He’s got a point.
Once we build our IPF, the idiot two rows behind me can yell”run the damn ball, indoor practice facility!”

Spurrier is a douche.
I don’t get why so many Georgia fans on this site love this guy.

I don’t think we love him necessarily… He’s just so entertaining, especially lately. Also, you must admit he has our number, somehow. 😉🎈
