Hey, look y’all! Spurrier gonna Spurrier.
“We’ll try to play our best against Georgia in Athens,” Spurrier, still hoarse from the previous night, said on a teleconference call. “They look awfully strong, as usual. But I think our guys will look forward to playing the game.”
For some of you, I know Saturday is shaping up as a no-win situation for the Dawgs. Lose or pull out an ugly one, and it’ll be another week of no-excuse-for-shoddy-play shrieking. Win comfortably and it’ll be, “so what did you expect?”
Me? Any win over Spurrier is a good one. As long as I get rewarded with one sideline look of despair, I’ll be happy.
Get The Picture 
Any win over the OBS is a good one … A manhood robbing 8+ minute drive at the end of the game with us taking a knee on the USCe 1-yard line would be sufficient for me.
Evil Richt then whispers into the OBS’s ear at midfield, “That was for Ray Goff, you vindictive SOB.”

I genuflect before the twelve stations of the Spurrier cross. The visor toss is just the first of them. I enjoy the sacred head shaking that signifies his team has again fallen short of his personal brilliance; the straight-ahead stare when it’s clear he actually screwed up himself; the via dolorosa out to midfield, with accentuated limping for extra sympathy, after the loss (how does he jog onto the field with the team before the game?); and all the others. The TV camera just loves him in the fourth quarter of a loss. They call it good television; I call it Saturday mass.

I’m with you Senator, any win over Spurrier is a good win. I promise not to complain even if Lambert goes 0 for the first half again. Well, maybe I’ll complain a little. Just win baby (and make Spurrier throw that visor) and all will be well.

If you want to see a sideline look of despair, see USA Today’s photo of Gus Malzahn on the sideline. Compare it with that Huddle House look he has. It ain’t purty.

The saddest I’ve been for a person in a long while was when the Jax St. punter shanked it to let Auburn back into a game that State clearly deserved to win. That kid deserves our sympathy.
I wonder is Gustavious has a call in show. I’d love to have heard it.

Yeah, really felt bad for the JSU punter. However, the coach had a WFT moment, too, when he just kneeled on 38 seconds (and I think a TO) at the end of the game. If anybody should be playing to win, it should be an FCS team in JH Stadium.
Gus was full of righteous indignation after the game, saying how everything was okay because the won the game.

Yeah..I hate it when a coach justs wastes what might have been an opportunity to take advantage of a clearly panicked Auburn Defense. On or two completions and kick a FG.. But still, my hat is off to the whole Jax State establishment! They won something huge, even though the final score doesn’t show it.

I doubt Georgia being terrible in the 90s kept Spurrier from enjoying whipping our tails and it USC struggling won’t keep me from enjoying whipping theirs Saturday.
I always wonder if other fan bases are like ours. Did UF and UT fan bases say things like “we’re only winning because the rest of the division is down”? Did they poor mouth their own success?
I’ll take a win over Spurrier any day and be very happy. I can’t promise that I won’t bitch about our QB if it’s warranted, though.

I know south Carolina usually looks all world against us but after seeing us open as a 16 point favorite this has the feel of a game where the dispassionate calculating view of Vegas has a more accurate view than the natural fretting of our fans.I see us covering by one point in an “ugly ” blowout similar to last week.

Currently up to 17. Vandy opened as a 17′ point underdog to us last week and went to 21. Think what that says of the perception of SC nationally after 10 years of SOS in Columbia. His program in the same neighborhood as a pretty bad Vandy team to bettors risking their money. Yeah, some legacy move there Stevie, and ‘cruiting is not going to get better if you end up with 4-5 wins and another year of your life/career has ticked by. He needs to step down at the end of the season. Still puzzled at why Boom didn’t take the DC job there, much quicker way back to the top.

Spurrier has already noted that he will stack the box “just as the other two teams have” and may unleash a running QB on us that Mitch beat out of starting. Assuming Mitch was their best, what’s with the next QB before we get to Nunez? They have a running game and lost in an unlucky manner to Kentucky, they can hit short passes with their replacement QB and Spurrier will load up STs to catch us in that naptime we take about every game.
As has been pointed out numerous times, we have the studs and they have an infectious attitude among’em that, when everything gels, will take us over the top. Time to get the Montezuma avenger(Ma) into action to get their run-a-bout kid under control.
We will have to throw Saturday. Sic’em Dawgs! Unleash the hounds.

Funny, the line for South Carolina is pretty close to what it was for Vandy, however, I get the impression that a sloppy, 17 point win against uSC would be totally acceptable for most people.

Well, last year, they did play their best game against us. And they will, as usual, open up the playbook and try anything and everything, trying to exploit obvious vulnerabilities shown in the Vandy game. After all, the Dawgs are the special nemesis of both SOS and the ‘Cocks and their for hate us will fuel them for all 60 playing minutes.
So, me, I’d like to see our guys come into this with some attitude, too. Be pissed off at last year’s heartbreaking loss. Be made about the Vandy game. Be mad because it’s frikkin’ upstart Carolina and their smirking, smart ass coach and they’ve take 4 of the last 5. Go out there full of fire and fury and let them know once and for all that this is our house, our series, our division, our conference, and they’re just lame ass pretenders who will always live in our shadow, which is as it should be.

+1. They’ve won 4 of the last 5. If THAT doesn’t get our team, and more importantly THE COACHES, attention, then nothing will. We SHOULD beat them by 17+, but I think that’s very unlikely given the history of sos vs. UGA.

As Guz Malzahn said on Saturday – any win is a good one.
In some ways, we need to have that same mentality on Saturday. There is no way to score 14 pt touchdowns, intercept every USCe pass, block all their kicks, or force them to fumble every down.
Play our game and if we win by 1 – take it and be grateful. Play our game and if we win by 100 – take it and boast a little.
