Steve Spurrier Would Have Kicked Some Ass if Georgia Celebrated on Him
Too bad Steve Spurrier wasn't still coaching the Redskins last weekend. Judging by his reaction to the Georgia Bulldogs celebration, I have a feeling he would have gone Gillooly on Tom Brady.

When asked how he would have responded to Georgia's entire team celebrating on the field against him, here's what the Ol' Ball Coach said:

"Start a fight.


Spurrier said if Gators coach Urban Meyer had known what was going to happen after the Bulldogs' first touchdown last week, he should have sent out ''one of his third-team guys and get in a wrestling match with the guys, get a fight started.''


Spurrier's reasoning? With all of Georgia's players off the bench, they all might get suspended as part of the Southeastern Conference's penalties for fighting.


''Leave the bench in a fight, and you're out the next game,'' Spurrier said. ''That's what we'd do if the other team ever does that.'' If Meyer had followed Spurrier's tactic, the Bulldogs ''would have been in deep trouble for the game next week,'' Spurrier said."

I'd request the Arkansas Razorbacks call Spurrier's bluff this weekend, but that's assuming Houston Nutt can actually engineer a touchdown out of his team.

Yea, Ball Coach.  Sure.  Just like when you did something about LSU celebrating after their fake FG trick play.

 

He's so full of crap.  And, yes, I completely understand the irony in that statement coming from me.

It's not quite the same situation.  LSU didn't send their entire team out to the middle of the field to celebrate the fake FG.

True.  There aren't going to be too many celebrations like that.  But LSU did have a good ol' time running around the field and on the sidelines after they just ran one of Spurrier's own plays on South Carolina.

 

It just seems that if he really meant what he said in the above article, he would have had some kind of revenge factor during that game.

 

Don't get me wrong.  Spurrier is a good coach and I have a great amount of respect for him, as a coach.  But he always seems to have something to say when he is "standing on the other side of the wall". (Once again ,I understand the irony that I am a Bama fan and Nick Saban roams our sideline.  I'm probably going to hear it after this weekend).

 

And from what I have read (depends on who you get it from, I know), Richt didn't send the entire team out there.  He told the offense to celebrate until they got a penalty.  Everyone on the bench interpreted that as "Everybody go".  Richt said once they started running out there, all he could do is say "oh boy".  What can you do? 

 

I thought it was funny and it was going to come back to bite them in the rump.  I was wrong.

Sorry.  Didn't mean to write a book.  My fingers get to talking and I can't shut them up.

I definitely agree with you that it's much easier to talk about it when you're not directly involved.

 

Yeah, LSU did celebrate pretty hard after the fake FG, but I didn't really think it was excessive.

 

I was amused that the whole team went out there.  Not very sportsmanlike, but it was amusing.  I'm surprised it didn't start a fight.  It probably wouldn't have taken much to set that powder keg off!
