Visor Tossing at its Finest

As college football resumes (finally) nothing makes me happier than Steve Spurrier coaching at South Carolina. After he ruined the Redskins, I delight in the fact he is resigned to toil in purgatory with a marginal team while the big boys of the SEC run it up on a weekly basis.

I can without reservation say he has no chance to succeed (i.e. BCS Bowl) at South Carolina. He will have no standout success recruiting against Florida, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, and Clemson, and will not be able to take the Gamecocks to the 'next level', which entails both a team of superstars and superstar depth. He will be able to woo good QBs and WRs to USC-East, but will never build a defense capable of returning the football to the offense on a consistent basis.

The greatest part of USpurrierC was his rushed decision to take the job, and dig out from Lou Holtz sanctions, kept him from landing the LSU job, which would have been available if he waited for 10 days. Have fun going 5-7 for the forseeable future!

The only football that matters now is the Pac-10. Go Trojans!!! Oh and go terps.

Oh for God's sake.

How are those Bruins doing? And Stanford? And Washington State? Is John Mackovic's corpse still at Arizona?

What a weak conference.

You can say that about every conference.
