Sigh....might as well be 50 years ago.

‪On this date 15 years ago, the University of South Carolina hired Steve Spurrier as its head football coach.‬

‪The rest is history.‬

Dr Sorensen and Mike Mcgee made it happen.

I remember when I first heard he might take the job. I couldn't believe it until it was in the paper.

 

[Goose cock]

Fond memories but geez it’s such a sad thing to see how things have been allowed to slide.

Spurrier helped put this program in the math. Lou Holtz coming here should not be forgotten. It was on us to make the next hire to keep the train going. We failed miserably. Just my opinion.

Yes, the following coach after spurrier was the most important hire in the history of the football program. We absolutely struck out.

At one point in time we had the nation’s longest home win streak. Sigh.

I remember that day. So much excitement.

I don't mind telling anybody that I shed tears as I watched his introduction. I thought this couldn't be happening to us. I thought about those great Florida teams I had been watching throttle us and I figured we would soon be doing that to other people. We had some very gratifying years, but the offenses that "swamped" the SEC never materialized here.

There was so much hope back then. That feeling is long gone now.

As i get older, I’m no longer mad at Steve. I understand why things happened the way they did. We all get older. Ray Tanner? That’s another story.

Memories. I received an appraisal request for a Spurrier. I couldn’t believe it. I remember the first drive. A run,pass,run,pass, PA TD toss to Noah whiteside. I raised my hands and looked to the sky like saying thank you. I almost cried.
