Does Spurrier Feel Stupid Yet?

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on September 7, 2007

I have nothing against the South Carolina Gamecocks or their fans, I love the hate mail, but I do have a problem with their coach, Steve God Spurrier. For one he is a weak disciplinarian, and when the players do get in trouble USC has their own little Johnnie Cochran Jr. to “handle” things. Then there were his comments that involved the threatening of his departure if he didn’t get his way in the future about dumbing down the school so his recruits can play there. USC, rightfully so shot back at him, and this was before the knowledge of 84% of his recruits weren’t meeting the core academic standards at USC, that non-athletic students have to meet to gain entrance. To top things off this was after the knowledge that the starting QB, Blake “I bet he had a mullet in high school” Mitchell was suspended for…guess what…not going to his summer classes. Blake’s daddy “Nugget” acted foolishly and blamed USC for his sons shortcomings, that really isn’t God Spurrier’s or the fault of USC, but it’s freaking hilarious. Those aren’t even all of the stories I have written about since this blog was created on 7/27/07, but alas there’s a new story. Even though God Spurrier wants special favors when it comes to his players and the academic standards, it seems the current players can’t even meet the standards as it is, feel stupid yet God Spurrier?

“South Carolina defensive end Jordin Lindsay had an NCAA eligibility appeal turned down, meaning he won’t be able to play this season.

Athletic department Steve Fink said Friday that Lindsey, a senior, would remain on scholarship with the team and would take this as a redshirt season.”

Umm why would he remain on scholarship? Is that fair? What’s this BS about a “redshirt” season? I thought they can only do that with injuries and while the player is still in the “developmental” stage, but not for being another Jerrell Powe. Unless the coaching staff is talking about making him less retarded, is a “developmental” stage. If he is a senior now, do you really expect he can handle graduate school & play at same time next year?

“Lindsey did not play in South Carolina’s season-opening 28-14 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette while awaiting a final decision on his academic status.

Lindsey’s twin brother, linebacker Dustin, was placed back on scholarship this season. He had been declared academically ineligible after the 2005 season, reapplied for admission and worked with the scout team last fall.”

Great his brother is a moron as well. Good call Old Ball Sack Coach God Spurrier, on recruiting these two. If I was the brother I would be saying “WTF, why does he get to stay on scholarship and I didn’t?”, wouldn’t you? No wonder the school’s own student run newspaper, doesn’t believe God Spurrier when he says “We can play with anyone.”, I wouldn’t either, he’s losing creditability here in Columbia rather quickly.

Update 6:50PM I just got this bit of info from Go Gamecocks.com, you have to register but it’s free.

“Lindsey’s status was in limbo the entire preseason after his grade point average dipped below the 2.0 mark he needed to remain eligible. He received a grade change from one of his professors, but remained just shy of a 2.0, his father said.”

What a moron, and yet he remains of scholarship. Just think God Spurrier wants even dumber players…think about it.

So I profess on this day 9/7/07.

Lenoir-Rhyne Head Coach: Appalachian State Could Own the Big 10 & The ACC.

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on September 7, 2007

The head football of Lenoir-Rhyne, Fred Goldsmith, pulls no punches when it comes to interviews. In a feeble attempt to put the spotlight on him and his Lenoir-Rhyne football team, Goldsmith basically says that majority of the Big Eleven Ten & ACC teams suck.

“When Fred Goldsmith was Duke’s head coach in the 1990s, he repeatedly rebuffed requests from Jerry Moore, his close friend and head coach at Division I-AA Appalachian State, to schedule a game between the schools.

“We were a bowl team back then, and I still didn’t want any part of them,” Goldsmith says. “They were too good.”

“They have great speed. Edwards did the same things to Michigan that Troy Smith (of Ohio State) did last year, and (Smith) won the Heisman Trophy,” Goldsmith says. “Appalachian State is better than five or six teams in the Big Ten, and they’re better than five or six in the ACC, too.”

Ooohhh ouch…while everyone in America is still on the Appy State bandwagon, I’m going to disagree there. This Appy State team is talented, that I can admit. This is also the same Appy State team that lost to NC State last year. Everyone knows just how good that team was, losing to Akron and all. What on happened Saturday was a fluke, and a poor job of coaching and preparation by Lloyd sitting lame duck Carr. I’m not trying to take away the victory Appy State secured last Saturday, but I am trying to put in some perspective.

“If Michigan and Appalachian State both go undefeated the rest of the season, the Mountaineers could conceivably be No. 1 in Jeff Sagarin’s final computer rankings, Sagarin said. Sagarin has ASU 38th in the country this week, two spots ahead of Michigan.”

OK, that’s just stupid. Look at some other teams that have a tougher schedule. What if Ohio State defeats Meechigan by a larger number than Appy State, are you going to tell me that Appy State is a better team? That’s ridiculous. I’m all for giving credit to smaller schools and the great victories their teams can pull off, but I highly doubt that Appy State will be the best football team that can beat any division 1-A team in the country. But I will concede that they are better than some teams in bigger conferences particularly the Big East, Sunbelt and ACC, but at the same time remember their game with NC State last year.

So I profess on this day 9/7/07.

The NCAA tells Jerrell Powe: 1+2=3 As in No for the 3rd Time

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on September 7, 2007

On his quest to become a Rhodes Scholar in Ole Miss football and coloring books, Jerrell Powe has been denied for a third time when the NCAA rejected the appeals by him and the school.

Some of you might remember me writing about the second denial, you can find it here. If you haven’t read it, I recommend that you do, the picture that shows how retarded he looks, is worth the read alone.

“Based on his academic history and even after receiving all the accommodations and protections available to individuals with disabilities, Mr. Powe has not demonstrated that he can succeed academically during his first year of collegiate enrollment while also practicing and competing in athletics,” an NCAA statement said.

The NCAA granted Powe a partial initial eligibility waiver last week and ruled that Powe could attend Ole Miss and receive athletic financial aid, but not play football. He is currently enrolled and coloring in between the lines while not eating glue.

Coach Ed Crazy as Bat Shit Orgeron, who was not available after practice, addressed the decision on his Thursday radio show.

“I ’s wooggie booga heaskghfr arrghhdlf Jerrelll festhw toljetplhjet foosball Brent Schaffer.” Which translates in to: “I know Jerrell has a lot of fight in him,” Orgeron said. “Eventually Jerrell is going to reach his goal of playing for Ole Miss, and look out when he does.”

A special thanks to Townie from “The Waterboy” for the translation.

Powe’s attorney, Don Jackson, said he will talk over options with a family representative Thursday night. In the past, he has said the next step will be to sue the NCAA.

“Why is it such a leap to believe that a young person like that can improve academically?” Jackson asked. “There’s this belief that if you’re going to make it, you have to cut corners to make it.”

When your GPA is 2.0 and ACT score is 15, you aren’t exactly a rocket scientist.

So I profess on this day 9/7/07.

An Open Letter From the SEC Commissioner, Michael L. Slive

Posted by Thomas the Terrible on September 7, 2007

Hello,

Since becoming the commissioner of the SEC in 2002, our wonderful conference has experienced many wonderful things from national championships, and many horrible tragedies such as Hurricane Katrina.

I’m writing you today to talk about tragic upset preparedness, and what plans of action the SEC is prepared to do if such a thing was to occur. With the recent events of Appalachian State upsetting Michigan, we here at the SEC have been bracing for such an event, and have devised a plan of action I’m sure you’ll agree is necessary.

This coming Saturday, 09/08/07, the Auburn Tiges play the South Florida Bulls at home. If in the slimmest chance that South Florida were to upset Auburn, the SEC Upset Tragedy Task Force, will begin immediately to help in the efforts of dealing with this disaster.

Step one is to remove Auburn from the SEC family of higher education institutions effective 09/09/07. The following day, 09/10/07, the SEC will hold a lottery for schools that we feel would be a good fit for the SEC. Those schools are:

  1. South Florida University
  2. Clemson University
  3. Southern Miss University
  4. Kenneth Schuler School of Cosmetology
  5. Appalachian State University
  6. Allied Truck Driving School

The winner of the lottery will play the remaining SEC portion of Auburn’s schedule for this year, and making them a SEC member. No other SEC schools will be allowed to play Auburn with the exception of Alabama.

Also please be aware of how the fans and players of Auburn might feel after this takes place. Be sensitive and kind. While I’ll encourage public ridicule, I do not and will not encourage violence of any kind. That means no stoning, burning or throwing jars of baby food at Auburn players, coaches and/or fans.

I want to thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and remember let’s strive together too continue to make the SEC the best conference in all of college sports.

Yours Truly

Michael L. Slive

SEC Commissioner
