CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Steve Spurrier keeps a memento of his last game at Kenan Stadium on his office wall at South Carolina. Nearly two decades ago, Spurrier’s last Duke team routed the Tar Heels 41-0 in Chapel Hill, then posed for a photograph by the scoreboard, a memory that still rankles some connected to the North Carolina program. Now the Ol’ Ball Coach is coming back to Chapel Hill, and he’s bringing along his best South Carolina team yet — the seventh-ranked Gamecocks are more…
Steve Spurrier does not want to be a politician. But the USC football coach believes the state would be a better place to live if the Confederate battle flag were removed from the State House grounds.This from The State.
In the Civil Rights era, quite a few personalities in sports such as Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali Brown and Dean Smith sometimes spoke out on issues of injustice although at times severe repercussions could have been faced, sadly in the case of Ali. As we are now in the 21st century, athletes, coaches and administrators usually keep their mouth shut and nose out of controversial issues, well, because it would cost them big time money and their livelihood. This weekend, one man broke the mold – Steve Spurrier. Whether you agree with him or not, you have to respect and appreciate the stand Steve Spurrier made. After the Gamecocks’ spring game, Steve Spurrier in a press conference said the Confederate flag should not fly at the South Carolina statehouse in response to a statement he made Friday night as received an award. Spurrier said: "My opinion is we don't need the Confederate flag at our Capitol," Spurrier said Saturday. "I don't really know anybody that wants

During football season, we’re mainly a football blog, and well, I guess generally we’re mostly a football blog, seeing as how we’re named after the head football coach, but we fully intend to cover some if not all of the college basketball season as well.
A lot has been said about the Spurrier vs. Fulmer game this past weekend, and about how Spurrier was always “zinging” the Vols (I didn’t use the phrase, mainly because I’m not a product of the 50’s). Well, Spurrier is the kind of guy who you hate if he’s against you, but who you love if he’s with you. No doubt Florida fans loved every minute of his little jibs aimed at all of their opponents while he mercilessly beat up on teams that could do nothing to shut him up.
Well, in the basketball scene, none of the coaches ever seem to be as animated or as excitable as Spurrier is to football. That is, until last season. Bruce Pearl has become the Spurrier of college basketball,
This being Spurrier Sucks Week, I thought I’d make a list of the top 10 reasons Spurrier sucks.
10. He’s stupid
9.  His last game at the Swamp was a loss to Tennessee (way to go out with a bang)
8.  His wife’s name is Jerri. Might as well be married to a dude.
7.  His name sounds stupid. I hate it.
1.  Rearranging the letters of his name will get you: Sure is pervert. If that’s not a rock solid case to prove he’s a petter ass, I don’t know what is.
Wait…what? There’s supposed to be 10 reasons in a top 10 list? Hmm…I’m too lazy to think of anymore. So six through two will be that he’s gay.
A few years back, Steve Spurrier made me the happiest man on the planet by leaving Florida. I couldn’t stand him and his stupid little visor, and I loved it the few times Tennessee was able to beat him. One of the best moments of my life was back in 2001 and Tennessee beat Florida down in the swamp. This led to one of the worst times in my life: watching the Vols lose to LSU, having to ride the MARTA in Atlanta containing about 300 LSU fans and about 3 TN fans, then getting pulled over for speeding 99 in a 70 on the way back to Knoxville. LSU fans are mean. And the cop yelled at me. He was probably an LSU fan.
Two years ago when Spurrier announced he’d be replacing Lou “How’s He Still Alive” Holtz at South Carolina, I was elated. From now on, I figured, Tennessee would beat Spurrier every single year we played them. How could South Carolina ever beat Tennessee? Boy was I wrong. Last year we managed to lose by a point to a team that al
