So Considering Clemson Beat Both Of The Teams That Are Playing For The ACC Championship This Weekend, Does This Mean .....

I'm not saying Clemson is the best team in the ACC and deserves the crown. I'm simply asking this in a question form: the two teams that are playing for the ACC Crown, Clemson defeated both. Does this mean Clemson should be the ACC Champion?

I am extremely happy and proud of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons this year for their accomplishments to making a trip to this game but Georgia Tech? Seriously? Clemson pantyslapped the yellowjackets all up and down the field on primetime national television, and to be quite honest with you, I think Wake Forest will too.

What's Spurrier Meaning Exactly By Holding His Index Finger Up Like That?

There are a lot of hidden messages out there in today's world. We hear it and see it in songs, pictures, press conferences, etc. If you look at the picture above, you see Steve Spurrier holding his right hand up with his index finger flipped out, and his other fingers curled in, what's the hidden message here?

Does it mean?

1. We're #1?

2. Wait right there, we're not #1 yet?

3. It's not a hidden message at all, he just extended the wrong finger towards a Clemson fan?

4. Our season isn't over with, we have a bowl game to play?

5. It's not a hidden message at all, he's directing the police to get someone?

6. He's giving praise to the good Lord above?

7. I'm #1, and I'm going to Miami?

8. It's not a hidden message at all, he's trying out for that "Sure" deodorant commercial?

9. We have 1 more game left until I go to Miami?

What We Know
1. CSTV reported Sunday Morning that Steve Spurrier was likely headed to Miami at season's end.
2. ESPN's Joe Schad reported Sunday Morning Miami's top choice for coach is Steve Spurrier.
3. Steve Spurrier denied he has had any contact with Miami during his weekly teleconference with reporters and stated he would like to stay at South Carolina and win the SEC. However, he stated that it was flattering to be mentioned in connection with a program of Miami's elite stature.
4. CSTV responded by reinterating the initial report and quoting additional sources that state Spurrier would like out at South Carolina and would welcome the opportunity to coach Miami.
5. Larry Coker stated " I think he'd (Spurrier) be a good candidate if this job was open. I know Steve. If this job were open I think he'd be a heck of a nice candidate."

Rumors and Speculation From Various Websites:
1. Miami and South Carolina are already discussing a buyout package.
2. Steve Spurrier has already been contacting potential staff at Miami.
3. South Carolina will be charged with major violations by the NCAA and thus Spurrier will want to bail.
4. Paul Dee has had this trial balloon floated in order to put pressure on Rutgers Head Coach and Former UM 5. Defensive Coordinator Greg Schiano to make a decision about whether or not to accept a forthcoming offer from Miami.
6. Spurrier will recieve an extension at South Carolina that makes him the 2nd highest paid coach in College Football.
7. Steve Spurrier is going to leave South Carolina regardless, having determined much like the Redskins situation he cannot win there.
8. Larry Coker will be retained by Miami if he beats BC Thanksgiving Night and fired after next season unless Miami wins the ACC. That will allow Miami to save on a potential buyout and would make Spurrier and Schiano "more available."

We'll Blog Soon About This

No I Didn't Studder - Bet The House On These Guys This Week

QB- Blake Mitchell - WR- Sydney Rice - Ole Ball Coach - SC Gamecocks

The South Carolina @ Clemson spread opened up on www.vegasinsider.com today right at 6.0 points favoring the Tigers. The spread has already dropped down 1/2 point to 5.5. I'm sure we'll see it continue to drop probably to around 3. Even though Clemson has owned South Carolina the past 4 years, Clemson has never defeated Carolina 5 times in a row. You and I are both aware of South Carolina's close games this year with big teams and also their improvement throughout the year. You and I are also both aware of the Clemson downfall - Clemson may win, but bet the house on the South Carolina Gamecocks to cover.

Let's Revisit This Blog From September 18th, 2006 - Did Jeff Parks Get It Right?

Miami is out of the rankings for the first time since 1999. The Miami Hurricanes had 107 consecutive top 25 poll appearances that was the nation's longest current streak. I think it's safe to say with the very average seasons Larry Coker has had with Miami for the past few years and with the 1-2 start this season, he will be forced to quit fairly soon. My friend Jeff Parks made an interesting statement to me today. He said with Spurrier not having the talent to have a great offense at Carolina, just like leaving the Washington Redskins in the NFL because he couldn't accomplish what we wanted, is there any chance he would try and leave South Carolina to pursue a school like a Miami like he left Washington? Meaning, a Miami would put him in a position with already great talent and he wouldn't have to still wait another 3 more years to attempt to get good enough players in at Carolina to accomplish his expectations.

I don't think we can rule this out at all (even though Spurrier hasn't received his lifetime membership to Augusta National). I think this job will definitely come open in a few months from now, will Spurrier show interest or no? What are your thoughts? Link to Blog

Steve Spurrier Could be the Next Miami Hurricanes Coach

Not a lot of detail here, other than that sources tell CSTV that Steve Spurrier might leave South Carolina after only 2 years to become the next head coach of the Miami Hurricanes.Spurrier's Gamecocks are 6-5 this year and 13-10 in his 2 years thus far. In his time at Florida, Spurrier compiled a remarkable 122-27-1 record in 12 years. So if indeed The Ole Ball Coach does return to Florida, what is your reaction? I'm not in favor of anyone leaving 2 years into a 7-year contract, but if the rumors are true, it'll be very interesting to see him try to turn around Miami. I always got the feeling that while he could have success at South Carolina, he would be inhibited a bit just because the Gamecocks don't have as much of a football reputation, and Spurrier may not have any of his old pipelines. He'll have no such problems if he goes to Miami.It's going to be real interesting to see how this plays out.

Isn't This Kind Of Weird?

After glancing at the Western Carolina Catamount athletic website today and looking at their football team's schedule, I noticed something very unusual. If it wasn't bad enough for them to play the best D1-AA team in the country this Saturday against Appalachian State, next week they have to go to the University of Florida and play the Gators in the swamp! And if things weren't bad enough, I haven't even mentioned the Catamounts 7 game losing streak which already exists! So please everyone if you would, keep the Catamounts in your prayers over the next remaining weeks ........

Bet The House on Rutgers

The Scarlet Knights are a lock to cover the 7 point spread against Louisville tomorrow night. Consider these numbers:

1) Louisville is 20-1 the past 4 years at home and 16-5 during that same span on the road.

2) Louisville has played exactly one game decided by 8 points or less at home since 2003. On the road they have played 7 such games.

3) At home, Louisville is 7-1 against teams with winning records since 2003. On the road, they are 3-4 during that span.

Bet the house on the Scarlet Knights.

Let's Rename ACC Coach Of The Year Award To .......

2006 - ACC Magician Of The Year Award

My generation grew up watching David Copperfield demonstrate unbelievable magic tricks that your brain had no possible way in figuring out. Today's generation of kids don't have to wait once every 3 months for David Copperfield to show up on an ABC special like we had to. Nah, all they have to do is tune in to ESPN or Lincoln Financial every Saturday to watch the Wake Forest Demon Deacons play and they'll see the best magic ever performed!

Even though Ralph Friedgen performed an unexplainable magic trick this past Saturday against the Clemson Tigers, to some he might be a nominee for 2006 ACC Magician Of The Year. But today, on here, he'll just get an honorable mention. Matter of fact, if Wake Forest can knock off Florida State this Saturday in Tallahassee, we'll go ahead and jump the gun and give Jim Grobe the award.

Coaches Who Lost ACC Magician Of The Year Award And When

1. Clemson (Tommy Bowden) - Week 2 @ Boston College

2. Miami (Larry Coker)- Week 1 lost to FSU at home

3. N.C. State (Chuck Amato) - Week 2 lost to Akron @ home

4. Georgia Tech (Chan Gailey) - I was never going to give them this award anyways

5. Florida State (Bobby Bowden) - Pre-season for allowing Jeff Bowden to stay on staff
