You have to hand it to the Poultry People. Lou Holtz racked up major NCAA violations faster than winning seasons, bowl victories, or SEC titles. In fact, the sum of the NCAA violations on his watch is more than the total of his winning seasons, bowl wins and SEC titles combined. Yet even now, after he's dipped them in batter and left them for the NCAA deep fryer, most of them consider him a genius. Most of them consider this "unfortunate development" to be "no big deal." Some of them feel like Spurrier will have them contending for SEC glory THIS YEAR.

Wow. The extent of their ability to ignore history, probability, and reality makes Baghdad Bob look like a stone pessimist. What does it mean to pull for the Poultry? It means you thrive on getting your ### kicked. It means you smile in the face of loss after loss to UT, UF, UGA and Clemson. It means that your one crummy 7-4 season leading to an ACC title entitles you to puff out your chest as much as any fan of Alabama, Southern Cal, Michigan, or any other place with actual football history.

Ganja Toke U fans base their unreasonable expectations on the fact that they were actually good in the 40s and 50s. Auburn fans base their unreasonable expectations on the fact that Ears Tuberville finally had a season where he lost less than 4 games, and there's no salary cap in the SEC West. But from what fountain of optimism have the Chickens drunk so deeply? The Holtz era was the pinnacle of acheivement for South Carolina football...and they had a losing record. They never so much as finished above 3rd in the East. They never beat UF or UT. Much as I admire their spirit, I can only say the lot of them must be on drugs. Or should be.

Beating South Carolina, for any SEC program with aspirations, has never been a sign of anything except that you won't go winless for the season. Losing to them has always been a sign that you are mediocre and headed nowhere. If Spurrier can turn this garbage scow of a program around and make it a champion, it will be a feat equal to winning the Kentucky Derby on a burro. I cant wait to see how The Genius reacts when the roof starts caving in on his low discipline, low talent, HIGH expectation program. He may flip that visor all the way from Columbia to Myrtle Beach.

Long may they suck. I would say the SEC should have left them out of the conference, but then we wouldnt have them around for comic relief every summer as they confidently predict that THIS WILL BE THE YEAR. Not this year, you refugees from a Truett Cathy picnic. Just like every other year, you're going to uphold the proud tradition of South Carolina football, where 6-5 is cause for rejoicing.

Doesn't that guy realize they have Spurrier now?

Re: Doesn't that guy realize they have Spurrier now?

UGA makes us look like angels when they talk about USC.

USC's record is better against UGA than CU, UT, and UF.***

They really hate SOS. Remember he owned them at UF

I wish they could read and understand that everyone else
