I have to say I hate Auburn, Tech, Florida, and Tennessee, but maybe they’re on to something when they say everything’s bigger in Texas.
That’s kind of a level of ick that I’m not into, but I can understand after a year of Texas partnership in the league how some may hate the Longhorns just that much.
Now, if you said “give _______ a good, swift kick in the gonads”, then I’d gladly say Steve Spurrier or Fat Phil from my 90s PTSD.
Who’s your public enemy #1?
Corch. I can find respect for Saban, amused by Spurrier and don’t even think about Phat Phil.
In 2004, I won the online National Heisman Trophy trivia contest sponsored by Suzuki Motors. I received a weekend trip to NYC where I was able to attend the 2004 ceremony on Saturday night plus the dinner on Monday evening. There were receptions and cocktail mingling with a bunch of former winners and I got a ton of swag (including 2 footballs that were quickly filled up with signatures of Heisman winners.) Matt Leinhart won that year and the other finalists were Reggie Bush, Jason White, Adrian Peterson and Alex Smith. At breakfast on Sunday morning, I was wearing a UGA pullover similar to what Richt (https://www.onlineathens.com/picture-gallery/sports/2018/12/30/photos-mark-richt-through-the/69040721007/) wore on the sideline at that time. We sat down at a table right next a man sitting alone eating his breakfast wearing a Utah sweatshirt. One week earlier this man was named the head coach at Florida. I missed my one and only close up chance to punch Urban Meyer in the face. Probably would have gotten my ass kicked but in retrospect I should have done it.
It was an interesting weekend overall. Apparently Herschel had been there on Friday for a bit but left before the official festivities started on Saturday. Spurrier had stopped coaching the Redskins a year earlier and had just been named the USC HC. He was attending his first Heisman ceremony and dinner in years. At the dinner, the DAC had a flag/banner hanging from the rafters with every college of every Heisman winner save for one … rumor was Spurrier refused to attend if there was a Georgia flag. I asked Chris Fowler about it and he said that it was because UGA didn’t have a former winner attending but another person standing there said that wasn’t true as a couple of schools had a banner hanging (BYU, Iowa & Chicago i think) but didn’t have former Heisman winners attending. Obviously I met a ton of former winners, I know a bunch of folks here disparage him but Desmond Howard was the best. Friendly and had no pretense about him. He learned my name and my then wife’s name on Saturday evening at a cocktail reception and called us by our names the rest of the weekend. Jim Plunkett, George Rogers, and Billy Sims were awesome and seemed very down to earth. Leinhart’s family was there and his brother and Dad were not Chris Fowler fans at all because he often referred to Leinhart’s tween/teen years as a chubby kid with glasses. Leinhart’s brother thought it was kind of diminishing and petty considering that his brother (who towered over both his brother and Dad) was still the best athlete at that age and was dunking basketballs at like 12 or 13. We even spent time with Dick Kazmaier who was the last Ivy Leaguer to win the Heisman in 1951. It was really hard to believe he ever played football because he was about the same size as my then wife who was about 5’5″ and 130 pounds.
So, Chris Fowler was a pompous douche back then? Makes sense.
I’d call Urban Liar a piece of shit but that would be insulting to shit. The man is a sociopath.
Tennessee
Spurrier is UGA’s biggest foil, by far. The level of pure humiliation he dropped for a decade will never be forgotten. I didn’t seem to hate him as much as SC though. I kind of respect his level of truthiness when commenting on football.
I have zero respect for Meyer as a person. He’s complete trash. The sport will be better off when he is completely out of it.
Agreed. I didn’t like that Spurrier hated UGA the way he did. Nor did I appreciate how often he rubbed our noses in it. But we were responsible for the product we put on the field. We have to acknowledge that. In general, Spurrier was good for the sport. I miss having him and coaches like him around. In the new corporate environment we now find ourselves, guys like the Old Ball Coach will never progress higher than a coordinator and certainly will not be allowed to speak to the media.
Never, ever, forget that Grayson Lambert and Mark Richt made the Ol’ Ball Sack quit mid-season on his team. I’m sure Spurrier will never forget it.
Screw the Old Ball Sack and screw the Tea Sips…
The A&M crowd is a much classier bunch of Texans, even with all of their “Boy Scout” traditions.
A Cleveland Steamer for Ole Steve? Bit much for me but maybe not for your average Aggie.
That is sick and twisted but for the ole’ ball sac quite appropriate.
Urban is my most dislike of all time. Fish Fry, Paul Johnson was very much disliked as well. He was always a jerk who didn’t fail and his team could only fail his scheme.
…and Tuck Fexas the entire classless State
From the title I was wondering why we’d be talking about Nebraska here, but this went in a whole different direction. lol
I’m more of an old school hit someone between the eyes with a hickory axe handle. Spurrier had our number for too long…even at 2 different schools (that is until we beat down SC his last season and then LSU beats them and he quits on his team before the season ends)…to me, the ole’ ballsack got his comeuppance…Corch though, that slimy sack of Siberian sheep shit, he deserves the crack between the eyes. He never really got humbled, professionally anyway, and he deserved it.
Greg Mcgarity.
The NCAA and Commissioners for the state of todays wreck of college football.
I completely believe where we are now started with Vince Dooley suing for TV rights back in the 80s.
Penn Wagers
As I’ve said many times here, I’d like to take Penn Wagers and beat him with Al Ford.
Urban Cryer and the gators. FTMF!!!!!
Kick in the gonads? Spurrier, but only in his FL coaching days. Can’t justify kicking an old man in the balls regardless of justification. Corch is definitely a choice. Every day through eternity.
Its got to be Corch especially in light of what the rest of the country now knows about him. I mean we knew it from the start. Spurrier was an asshole but at least he was funny.
I remember watching the 2005 Cocktail Party at Camp Schwab and seeing them beat us running the I Formation and we looked like we had never seen it despite us being a I formation team. Also the back to back beatings in 2008 and 2009 coupled with the OT loss in 2010 are to me worse than Spurrier’s 7 straight wins from 1990-1996.
