PrintTalking Points for 8/20/10, quick-like, because I'm late yet again:
- This is why you never let him get leverage on you. Steve Spurrier is back at it:
"Golly, times have changed when Tennessee doesn’t want to play North Carolina in football because they’re too good for them," Spurrier said. "That’s kind of amazing right there.
That hurts, Steve. But you knew that.
"We’re not going to bail out from playing North Carolina the way Tennessee did." - Apparently, the Kool-Aid and Pop-Tarts visits are true. David Oku is a little self-conscious about the 21 pounds he's added to his 5'10" frame:
Hey, David. You look fat in those pants. ;-)"It’s hard having this weight on you and you’re not used to it," Oku said. "I’m just walking around sluggish. People are like, ‘You look like you’ve gained 20 pounds.’ I take that as an insult. It used to be like, ‘You’re skinny. You’re small.’ Now it’s just, ‘You’re fat.’ It hurts. I’ve got feelings. I’ve got emotions."
"I feel like Jerome Bettis."
Player features. Daniel Lincoln is taking the competition with Michael Palardy in stride. . . . Arthur Jeffery probably wouldn't play this year in a normal situation, but might in this abnormal one. . . . Gerald "It's Gone Be Liiiiive" Williams is improving 2% each day. . . . You down with O.L.P.? Yeah, you know me. The immediately preceding sentence exhausts the sum of Joel's knowledge of rap lyrics.
OUTRAGED about the OUTRAGE. A strong lead -- "It’s startling, sometimes, how easy it is for a college football coach to control and bend the minds of his otherwise freethinking student-athletes." -- gives way to crazy placard man shouting on the street corner, complete with EXCLAMATION POINTS! and angry words like "scowled" and "venting" and "unprovoked" and "RAGE." The story? Florida's defensive line is using a preseason magazine's ranking of them as the 7th-best in the league for motivation.
Teaching tenacity. Chuck Smith is teaching his undersized d-line players to "strike and be aggressive" as opposed to trying to finesse their way around blocks.
Thoughts and prayers to the family of Vols great and Outland Trophy winner Steve DeLong, who died Wednesday at the age of 67.

Agreed
I know the natural reaction when we hear anyone criticizing us is to get defensive about it (see: comments below), but he is absolutely right on this one.
Lou Brock loves Lamp.
I'm not as defensive as
I’m more just like “who cares”. About this or the UNC thing. I think people are overreacting again. 15 days from now nobody will remember or care.
Weren’t we freaking out about a NCAA inquiry 10 days ago? A bar fight or something before that? GO NUTS PEOPLE

Hello ladies. Look at your man, now back to me, now back at your man, now back to me. Sadly, he isn't me.
No, I will remember it next year when I am watching Buffalo
and thinking that I could be in Chapel Hill watching Tennessee win!!
AND
thinking about how this arrangement will lead to a series in basketball between the two schools. But now, not so much.
Derek Dooley's response should be.....
“Steve said that? Awwww, isn’t he cute.”
“BOOM”
That’s about what I would say. It’s laughable now that he’s at South Carolina.

Coach Spurrilous...
..has obviously forgotten the halloween thrashing in Knoxville.
Vinnie Testaverde is always remembered for Tennessee kicking his ass.
Spurrier is right - the UNC debacle is a black eye and we're down overall. But we are still 3-2 against Spurrier at USC. So, Steve - shut up, already.
The COEXIST bumper sticker is ridiculous. How are people supposed to get along when one side is flying planes into tall buildings or wearing sweater vests full of C4 and nails? The faiths are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
I want Naughty By Nature to get back together
They had some serious hits.
...just apologize for not thanking me.
Steve thinks...
Steve thinks his Gamecocks are pretty good to go smack talking about Tennessee. But on other boards across the country the Big Orange are being called out as Chicken Scatology for backing out of the series. This bulletin board material will be remembered when we got to Columbia and make some fried chicken out of the local poultry in Brice-Williams stadium. GO BIG ORANGE!!!
I knew someone who majored in Scatology at UT. No, wait that's Sociology. Same difference.
