Bring on Garcia

Last year we managed to make Stephen Garcia look like Joe Montana. He tore us a new one and I thought it was the beginning of a new era in South Carolina. I now believe it was a bit of a fluke. I think he's a solid, tough kid with a lot of upside. I also think Spurrier is too big of an egotistical turd masher to allow the kid to relax long enough to succeed. Spurrier is a college football classic but his achilles heel is the belief that somehow scaring the shit (and confidence) out of a kid is actually good for the team. "I won the Heisman ya know...I won the SEC and National Title multiple times ya know...?" Good job Steve...but I'm starting to think that it may have been miraculously in spite of you.

Look, It's tough to work (or play) for someone who used to do what you now do. It should be great because the supposition is that they'll understand the nuance of what you deal with and will have the insight to understand and encourage you through those tough spots. Instead, they tend to revise history, forget how hard it can be, and tell war stories about how they did it with one arm tied behind their back. In other words...it's actually worse to deal with because of this very fact.

Spurrier was a great QB but he should calm down and give these dudes a break. He never had to remember the number of plays...get hit as hard...deal with the amazing athletes...or deal with the popularity of the game. Since broadcast TV and the internet have exploded, the hyper-awareness of the average fan is out of control. Spurrier thrived in the time of relatively low expectations.

I respect Spurrier and South Carolina and wish them well on other days...but on this particular Saturday I want to see someone lay a mullet flapping, chest hit on Garcia-douche that plunks the ball on the ground 2 seconds before the visor on the sideline skips onto the field.
