A real love fest no doubt. SOS spares no one's feelings, he just lets it go, but sometimes in a round about way. Not saying SOS despises the guy, but he has a way of jabbing it in, even to people he may know. I don't know how SOS really feels about Meyer, but in my mind there's no doubt what he was saying this time.

Ol' Spur Dog is a pot stirrer, there's no doubt about that.

But sometimes he makes you wonder.

Is he motivated by a bit of jealousy OR at times,

IS HE JUST TRYING TO KEEP SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE CONVERSATION???

Sounds to me like you heard what you wanted to hear. The video starts with SOS saying, "You never really, really know what you got until you play it out and so forth." The context is the importance of national signing day. He was saying he doesn't get too excited about NSD because you never know how a class will turn out anyway, and brought up that Gator class as an example of a number 1 class that didn't pan out.

He said nothing about loving UF. He said nothing about UM quitting on the class. He was talking about the relative importance of NSD in the big scheme of things. But haters will hate.

Or just himself..I love the guy, but he's a provacateur.

Couldn't disagree more. If Spurrier's 95 team plays 2006 Ohio State then Spurrier has back to back National Championships.

Lets count Meyer's SEC championships v. Spurrier - that would be no contest.

Lets see if Meyer can ever sustain success over an 8 or 9 year period. Maybe he will at OSU, maybe he will not. I doubt he will be there 5-6 years.

Yeah, I've got to think with SOS at UF for another 12 years we would have had 1 or 2 NC's.

Old geezer has no class...but I still like him (He beats Clempson).

'If'...I like that word.

It seems Spurrier comments got Meyer riled up and now he's rubbing every coach in the B1G's nose in it regarding his recruiting prowess. OSU didn't look very good last year. Watch them get stomped this year. I don't think he's very good at developing players without his talentyed assistants!

Lol. He went 12-0 with new assistants. How is his overrated former assistant Dan Mullen doing?

I don't know about developing players or not. You hear so much stuff it's hard to separate fact from rumor. I do think he's building up a monster at OSU, but again, how long he can hang in there well be interesting to see. He may have another epigastric attack if Michigan beats him a couple of times.

And how would Meyer be doing if he took over Indiana rather than a traditional powerhouse that is one of the richest programs in the country.

I dunno, an 87th ranked offense would be better then 102 but it wouldn't be that great.

So did Meyer depend on his assistant Mullen or not? At OSU he is depending on his new assistants as well?

yeah....that is what makes it a backhanded compliment.


everything else was definitely an "up yours" Urban. You are over-rated as a talent developer and have weak fortitude.

but you're a great coach!

Love Spurrier!

'I know later there were comments that that No. 1 class just didn't pan out. Of course, it usually pans out at Alabama every year. But, again, recruiting is extremely important, but after they get there is really what's most important.'

Definitely a jab but he was making a larger point about coaching em' up and how they play on the field. The key in the whole article is the 'it usually pans out at Alabama' part which is a credit to Saban and his staff.

SOS could have just as easily used his consensous #1 class of 2000 at UF.

But this is nothing new for him..he has always held that it is the effort a player makes once he enrolls that is most important.

That class won an SEC title as Freshman. Finished 3rd in the nation as sophomores. The '01 team was arguably the best team in the nation that year. Unfortunately he wasn't there for their Jr. And Sr. Seasons so we'll never know what might have been.

I took it as a jab on that class, not UM. He was explaining the uncertainty of recruiting and he wants to celebrate on the field in the fall not in the office in February. He acknowledge that currently at Bama it does usually pan out. Maybe a compliment on Saban, maybe hinting at something not quite kosher, or maybe just acknowledging the data.
