Spurrier quote on Michigan fans
I've always liked the Head Ball Coach, but as a Michigan alum and fan what I like even more is an excuse to pat myself on the back and look down on other programs.
Spurrier: "(Michigan) fans will show class and their team has class. They're not going to be chippy and mouthy the way those LSU guys were."

And yeah I realize this is more about Spurrier hatin' them than anything. Or maybe he's just trying to tone down the rhetoric before the beatdown this afternoon.

Love the 'Ol Ball Coach! Really, in many ways the new version of Spurrier is indeed Jim Harbaugh. Lightning rod. Says what's on his mind, wears it on his face. People love to hate him.
I'm a big fan of David Feherty's interview show on Golf Channel, and he had an episode with Steve Spurrier that was very entertaining and interesting. Worth a look.

He gets away with it because he owns it. He freely tells anyone that asks that he just didn't have any care left, no desire to keep going. He knew it, and he didn't fake it through shitty season - he gave the team a chance by leaving.
When you own it like that, there is nothing to complain about.
Saban, Petrino, Kiffin, Modell... Those schmucks ducked out in the dark of night, left a shitty note written by someone else, and never looked back.
Spurrier went out the way winners do - by owning it.

how he knew it was time to step down & he said it was largely just the losing. I was somewhat shocked by the honesty.
He was a winner for a long time & he left before dragging the program down any farther.

Kind of surprising that those classless asses pass their classes.

It's called DNA and upbringing, especially the osu fan base. Neurosurgeons and astronauts are usually not created by waitresses and truck drivers (Ufer). LOL. When a intellectual stunted fanbase has nothing to live for except osu football, there are going to be some shortcomings. My guess is respect and manners were not big in the households of the osu fanbase. Every osu fan I have ever spoken to just seemed really dumb. That is the only way I can describe them.

I want to really like Mark Packer, but he makes it difficult. Every time he talks about Michigan, or Harbaugh, he is very passive agressive with the hate. He's always saying, for instance, that Harbaugh is looking for all the attention and doing things to stay in the limelight. Which is patently not true. Otherwise, I think he has the best program on radio. The small bits I've heard from the other shows are awful in comparison...

The show is on daily at 4PM on Sirius Radio, channel 84. The HBC is on Wednesday's at 5, for an hour. It's pretty entertaining, especially when you're driving hime from work.

He would run his mouth and challenge other teams to shut him up. He sugar coated nothing. The ones who hated him were often on the receiving end of his criticism. He was bold and never really said anything that people didn't already know was true.

"You can't spell Citrus without UT" is still the sickest college football burn ever. Sorry Peyton.

Spurrier is one of those rare football people that just eventually wins you over. I hated him at Florida. Thought he was an arrogant big mouth prick. Laughed when he failed at Washington. Then watched him build SC to a real(ish) program and started to respect him more. I'm sure that hearing him take shots at all the other SEC schools didn't hurt.
When he "fired himself", i thought that was a big breath of humble. Now I see him as this down-to-earth, witty football lifer who actually seems genuine and enjoyable.
I can't think of many other coaches for whom my opinion had changed so dramatically over time.

I'll admit to the same fan arc with Spurrier. I never really appreciated his mouth when he was at Floriduh. Ohh, the things I missed... Thank God for recording devices!!
