SPURRIER: DOLLAR DOLLAR BILL, Y'ALL

It’s apparently one of those days, because all that golden toilet can make me think of is Captain Murphy hiring the feng-shui expert to harmonize Sealab.

“See the way my body’s glowing? Yeah. A lot of people can’t do that.”

Slow day indeed. All I’ve got is Triumph ringing in my head. “Yeah, yeah. That golden toilet is very good…for me to poop on!”

I know. Weak.

Where’s the SEC smack talk from Alabama towards Vandy?

i think the reason that south cakalaki’s tuition is so high is that the state provides almost no funding. people in that “state” don’t make much money, and god knows they aren’t going to spend it on education.

Adam is partially right. South Carolina actually does make money. It’s called “tourism.” However, the government doesn’t feel like it needs to finance the public schools. The state responded to a budget crisis a couple years ago by slashing funding to Clemson and USC. Gov. Sanford is on record as saying that one of his goals is to cut more funding from the schools.

I don’t understand why practicing in the rain is so bad. If it’s two days before the game, and it’s at home, well theres a chance it might rain on game day as well. ‘Sure glad we got used to a wet ball before game day’ you might hear someone say.

As much as the man has done throughout my life to make me utterly detest him, if Spurrier ever started a blog — and I mean a real blog, not some “Ask the Coach!” feature that had been edited and filtered by USC administrators until it was safe and pablum-like enough to be posted on the university Web site — I would read that mofo every day. Every DAY.

69 million from Darla Moore, and they still can’t get the trap door fixed? What are they doing with all that money?

Yeah it’s nice to practice in the rain occasionally, but if you’re USC and you’re playing at Florida on Saturday, and some storm has just come up the east coast and it’s going to rain Monday through Thursday and you don’t have an indoor facility, it’s hard to implement your game plan.

I know that Auburn schedules it’s spring practice around a month earlier than most schools partly because it rains more in April than March in Auburn.

Please, please tell me that the Myrtle Beach Big Cock Club exists and that you didn’t make up the name. If so, I may have to move to Myrtle Beach and become a Gamecock.

South Carolina doesn’t have the FAN SUPPORT?!?!?! I’m sorry, doesn’t South Carolina hold the record for consecutive sell-outs??? With multiple losing seasons?!?! Way to go and open your mouth Spurrier. Way to be yourself. Way to slap the face of the most loyal fan base in College Football. First he pops in vintage ‘95 Florida Football tapes to show his team what they’re doing wrong, and now this.

Here’s a clue Mr. Spurrier, Athletes, hmmm… recruiting= your job. Facilities, hmmm… money= your job. You were supposed to bring in the athletes, you were supposed to bring in the money, so stop blaming everyone around you. Way to make things tougher for your program. If you want your fans to know change won’t happen over night then just say so. This is begining to look like the Redskins Spurrier all over again. “It’s not my fault the system ain’t working.” Boy, what an a**hole.

Since when, Qdogbro, is the head football coach the designated fundraiser for a program? My understanding is that Spurrier is a famous face that should make fundraising easier for the athletic department, but considering that being HBC is already a full-time position, I don’t know what exactly you’d like him to do to find more money. If people don’t donate, that’s their issue, and that’s what Spurrier’s calling them out for. You want to win, put up the dough. Otherwise, leave me be to go play 36 out at Hilton Head. Also, let’s not try churching-up the joint by using asterisks for curse words, that’s just letting the terrorists win.

And how is Spurrier supposed to bring in money besides asking alumni for it? Win the Skins tournament? And better facilities and big name coaches typically help in bringing in good recruits. The USC brain trust knew this. They knew a great coach like Spurrier would start bringing in talent alone, and they also knew a big name coach would make the alumni more like to give large donations.

Spurrier – Man of the Year

Big Cock Club

for some reason in my NCAA 2006 dynasty (now in year 2018), South Carolina has been the terror of the SEC for the last 8 years or so. Florida’s starting to pick up some momentum, but all of the others have kind of faded into oblivion.

i would also like to point out the utility of wearing a South Carolina hat at the university of notre dame campus.

the hat basically says: USC COCKS

If you’re walking around the Notre Dame campus, why not just make the hat say:

U COCKS

It’s far more appropriate.

I’m surprised PETA or some such group hasn’t had the audacity to ask USC to change it’s nickname, LOL. “If those gamecocks can’t fight legally then dadgummit let’s get that logo and nickname changed.” = D

For the record that’s saracasm, the Gamecocks name is one of the best in all of the NCAA. I don’t think there’s a Big Cocks booster club….that would’ve already made national headlines and people would’ve been selling T-shirts and hats w/ that one.

“I promise I’ll send you to the best school that money can buy…in South Carolina”
“I will NOT be a Gamecock!”
“Oh yes you will”

Just wait till you guys find out about Spurrier’s real motive behind the cash-scheme.

He’s piling up cash so [Name-Redacted] will be reinstalled in the Swamp.

Evil Genius, I tell you. Evil Genius.

Wild guess, but bringing in money is primarily the responsibility of the athletic director and the department’s administrative staff. It’s a little much to ask Steve Spurrier to resurrect USC’s football team from the rapidly rotting mess left behind by Lou Holtz AND dump on him the responsibility to ensure that the athletic department is flush with cash at all times.

Dammit, Qdogbro, you just made me defend Steven Orr Spurrier, and for that you are dead to me.

Actually, fund raising would be handled by the university’s Development department in coordination with the strategic plans of atheletic director/department. The easy part is asking for money; the hard part is getting it.

Sure, you get Boosters development officers to do the dirty work, but if you have a filthy rich prospective donor in SC who is being cultivated for millions of dollars, do you think they want to hang out with a guy who works for Boosters or do they want to play the back nine with the HBC? If Cock Boosters (wow) hear it from the coach himself what they need and why they need it, they are more likely to give than if they hear it from some chump whose job it is to stuff envelopes with glossy brochures.

ps (useless fact) the same people who made the oak lockers in most of UF athletics (football first) also did lockers for USC football. So at least they have comparable equipment in that department.

I wasn’t referring to the call center “chumps” as you call them. Check with your university and you’ll find that the people growing the endowment and obtaining all of those wonderful large value donations for everything around campus are a bit more important than you give them credit for, Jess. Look at it this way. These are the salesmen (and women) who increase the net worth of your favorite institution by building the relationships that allow for playing the back nine with the OBC. Heck, these are the people raising the money to PAY your coaches. Ask colleges that have endowments of over a billion dollars who helped get them there. It sure as hell wasn’t their coaches…

hehehehehehheheh

You said growing the endowment.

hehehehehheheheh

Don’t misunderstand. Not the call center people. I’m a non-profit chump, so I’m not knocking them or anybody else. My point is many times, a figurehead is needed to get the ball rolling. Coaches, deans, famous alumni all get called on from time to time to shake hands and smile. Minimal labor, but often necessary nonetheless. All I’m saying is that someone as recognizable as SOS asking for money for boomerang visors is sexier than the head of the boosters or capital campaign manager, etc. Respek.

Understood, Jess. I didn’t mean to attack, just wanted to clarify it as most people have no idea how universities are able to raise the money they do. I can tell you that my alma mater takes it very seriously and definitely involves the figureheads whenever possible. There is definitely no denying the power they have to sway people. Just like with everything else, though, it takes the “suits” to close the deal. And NewAZTiger, the best endowments are the ones that grow the biggest. Mmmmm… big endowments…

When Mr. Steve(he reminds me a of a sissy hairdresser my wife uses) was hired at USC a few years back, he categorically said that “USC had EVERYTHING necessary for me to win and win big”. Now, a scant three years later, the bitch is complaining about USC? Calling Daniel Snyder, calling Daniel Snyder. Maybe the fuckwad is getting senile.

Hmm, I live in Myrtle Beach, and I wasn’t aware he was here.

Hey guys I got some news.

CBS affiliate in LA is reporting that Mark Sanchez is being accused of sexual assault.

Follow up on last post. I guess he was arrested on sexual assault charges.

Since we know bad things come in 3s, I’d like to start the bidding on what will complete the USC weekly trifecta, after the Bush saga and Dirty Sanchez, on Friday the story will break that Pete Carroll has been arrested as the kingpin of the LA coke scene, directly leading to Bush’s press conference later in the afternoon in which he bitches out Carroll for not giving him some of the flow and thus requiring the fam to go hitting up Indian casinos for housing. Bush’s concluding words: “Man, that ain’t cool.”

STOP THE PRESSES!!

Here’s the official story.

Dirty Sanchez has a new meaning!!! Mustache Wednesday ROCKS!

apparently some other USC cocks had a bad day today…

too soon??

Wooop! Trojan-trifecta in play! I feel sorry for those poor bastards at Sonoma State, the NCAA is going to hammer ’em. :D

What’s the over-under on ESPN providing the defense lawyer?

First Dook, now SC. Bad time for methodist schools. Watch out Syracuse, Northwestern, SMU, and division III Emory.

“The university takes charges of sexual assault seriously,” Michael Jackson, USC vice president of student affairs, said in a statement.

from espn.

ok. sexual assault is pretty serious and so this will be my last joke regarding this matter, but you have to appreciate a guy named Michael Jackson commenting on the seriousness of sexual assault charges.

Did he grab his crotch after completing the sentence?

I swear, the press totally sucks.

Hey, at least no player from Carolina’s gotten involved with the law in two weeks. That’s good. I guess. But I keep wondering why I wake up to the ringtone on my phone that goes, “C-A-R-O-L-I-N-A! Goooooooooooo Cocks!”

It’s Spurrier, he wants more money.
