OT: Steve Spurrier is a Delusional A-Hole
Spurrier today: "“Everyone in the South knows he should have won the Heisman Trophy,” Spurrier said Monday on the Paul Finebaum Show after Manning’s retirement announcement."
I like how it's everyone "in the South," like geography should matter here. But it does make even clearer the arrogance down there about football.
Here are a few other things "everyone knows":
-Spurrier should have never left Florida to become an NFL failure
-Spurrier stuck around way too long at South Carolina
Peyton and Charles retired in the same year...this means they'll go into the HOF together as well.
This is a neat fact that makes a lot of us on this board feel just that much older.
Of course, this is the same Spurrier who said of Peyton Manning some years ago:
"I know why Peyton came back for his senior year. He wanted to be a three-time star of the Citrus Bowl."
That isn't even Hatin' Ass Spurrier. That's Pure Unadulterated Spurrier, which is the same thing mostly save for the flashy hat and the fur coat. I guess either self-consistency is not a strength of his or he was pandering to the audience. Either way, it isn't really something worth consideration at this point.
I'm sure they do. Thats why they voted him first.

The problem is, the rest of the country is a lot smarter than the South
Virtual +1 to you. I haven't seen this voting breakdown before. Woodson in a landslide after all precincts reported.
Woodson definitely deserved it. He won every region except the south.
Haha Ryan Leaf finished ahead of you!
The South has Spurrier to troll us. We have Harbaugh to troll them. I'm okay with this, it definitely makes for an interesting offseason at least.
So has the collective mgoblog opinion on him changed? Everyone used to want him to take Corso's spot on Gameday. Is that still the case?

I did not realize that Woodson won in a blowout. It was not even close.. Manning failed to win anything but the South, and failed to even place 2d in the West. We all know the reason, that Woodson performed in clutch situations and Manning did not. We all know of events after the vote, like is epic fail against Nebraska followed by epic failures year after year in the NFL playoffs (other than one Super Bowl victory. The recent Super Bowl victory we all know was not earned by Manning). In other words, the aim was true for the 1997 Heisman voters.
Manning might have won if a guy by the name of Charles Woodson didn't exist. Stupid pecker head Spurrier. Going to be so fun to watch when the B1G is the kicking ass in the playoffs with UM and the filth killing them all. If the filth plays like they did in Ann Arbor and against ND they could've won another title IMHO. To hell with the S-Sleez-C
Woodson was the difference in so many pivotal games. Manning and UT basically won when they were supposed to.

Not everyone in the South is a racist ignoramous who wants to kiss Manning's ass, but there are more than a few of them.
I live in the South and was living here in 1997. Needlesstosay, I had to endure much pro-Manning and anti-Woodson bullshit from my idiot neighbors.
I have hated Tennessee ever since.
Didn't he vote for Nebraska?
Your only choice is to finish that sentence with something that don't make no sense

To stay in the league playing defense as long as a QB alone shows his (Woodsons) staying power. To win the heisman by votes as a Jr playing defense and simultaniously lead his team to the national title as well as beat out a Sr QB tells me the right guy won the trophy. There is no rational arguement to be made against it. The only thing that could have possibly upset his bid to win it would have been the King of Bud would already have won as a Jr. as well. It didn't happen obviously, so the King was dead. Long live Woodson in the hall of fame. So its time for those Manning lovers (or in this case a long suffering troll) to put down the jug everyone knows you can go blind drinking that stuff.
How awesome that he was asked today and ESPN made it a front page story.

It's also noteworthy that the only other witness in the locker-room for the incident called Manning a lier.

getting mad about the fact someone from the South gives one of the NFL's best QBs ever and one of the South's best football products ever a compliment on the day he retires makes us look kinda like we haven't had much else to be happy about since. Which is probably true but probably also not something we want to emphasize.

I don't.
as if everyone in the South where cheating is rampant is the definite end all beat all say so in anything football related...Good Lord the arrogance of the SEC knows know bounds.
SEC South East CHEATERS
Well that's great Stevie Boy, but Charles still has it.
I went on vaca to Charleston SC a couple years ago and you could not talk to a local for 5 minutes without hearing about the civil war. I mean if you go to Chicago or Philly, how many weeks or months pass before a local resident mentions it?

He's not wrong that it's the majority opinion of people in the South who are college football fans of that era.
But the funniest thing is that probably the biggest reason Peyton didn't win that Heisman is because Spurrier's Florida teams completely and totally owned Pey-Pey.
Bias is blind and the SEC fans tend to be more blind than most. For example all you heard was JH fires a shot a Butch Jones, as if they totally forgot that Butch fired the 1st shot and JH was just firing back.
