The point being, where is the outrage from our university ? Where is Rudd---MN---heck even Cohen ?

When Dana did that----as I recall---the crooked officials were suspended for the season---as I recall---but I am getting old LOL.

If we always just bend over and take it---then it will never change. We were robbed----and not only did it cost us potentially tons of $$$,--but also down the road maybe even a invite to a power 5.

We had a CHANCE for a UNDEFEATED SEASON and new years bowl, but was cheated out of all that publicity .

We always say it is about the kids----well our kids was screwed and we didn't have their backs. After Dana did that---the refs and league knew that he would hold feet to the fire.

Dana--Spook--Bobby Knight---Woody Hayes--the BEAR---Spurrier---would have went nuts. WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE !!!

First, I agree what we have seen was not enough to overturn the call. Nothing can repair what was decided after that play.

So what’s the best thing that can happen considering we haven’t seen the end zone view and the league says it was a judgement call?

Boo the officials when they show up Saturday? They made the right call so it wasn’t their fault.
Boo Brady? That would another example of bush league fans and gets us nothing.
Get an apology? Not going to happen.

After a while it just seems to come across as an extended whine.

Use it for motivation. Win the rest of them.

Dana-- probation and jail

Spook-- don't know but SEC refs hosed us every game

Bobby Knight--seriously? Throw a chair on the field?

Woody Hayes-punched a Clemson player

the BEAR-- don't remember him whining about refs ever

Spurrier - quit mid season on his last team.


Dude. Admire your righteous indignation but...life ain't fair.

Next game

Steve Spurrier's last team was the Orlando Apollos.

So they quit on him mid season.

I'm sure he will enjoy being remembered that way.

Not as much as he enjoys being only the second coach to be the winningest coach at two SEC schools. The other being Bear Bryant.

His answer was that there were 15 plays that could have changed the outcome of that game and he's correct.
We win one or two more plays and we win. That's what he teaches every week.

It's a mentality.

A great coach lines up his first team O on the 5 yard line against the 1st team Defense and after the O scores, he calls a ghost penalty and puts them on the 15 and makes them try again. He tells the D to hold like hell on every play and forces the O to overcome it and still score.
Life is unfair. Games are unfair. A good team knows that they have to battle against 11 other players, 6 refs and 20,000 fans. And vice versa for the D. Sometimes losing a game like that is the best thing that can happen.

The Saints got screwed. The Lions got screwed last night. But all pro coaches will tell you, we should have never put ourselves in a position to let the refs decide the game. It's a mentality that you have to drill into your team as much as executing on the X's & O's.

Hey, but who doesn't love a good petition?
Scream about it until you are hoarse. Call your senator. Show your A**. Get it out of your system until you feel better.
But be ready to cheer for our Tigers against Tulane, and the week after that.

Who doesn't love Dana Kirk and Barney Fife? (I loved em both, but in the end, they were patsies - Listen to your wise old friend Andy who's a little calmer and mature)

Just asking------but if every time that we get screwed ala the Kansas game --the Temple game--- the Rose ruling--after ruling him eligible ---then screwing us----if every single time we get robbed---we just roll over and take it------ then aren't we doing exactly what you say above----putting ourselves in a position to let them ROB us AGAIN AGAIN and AGAIN ? MEMPHIS don't hold them accountable plain and simple

Bullies stay bullies until someone bashes them in the nose and then you get some respect.

That's what I am saying TIGERBUDDY---we let everyone kick sand in our face over and over --with no repercussions .

Steve Spurrier's last team was the Orlando Apollos.

I'm sure he will enjoy being remembered that way.

Not as much as he enjoys being only the second coach to be the winningest coach at two SEC schools. The other being Bear Bryant.

The man himself offered an explanation to South Carolina fans in a letter to the editor in The State:

"After six games, we were 2-4 with two blow-outs by Georgia and LSU. We were behind at halftime against UCF (a team that went 0-12 this year). We were definitely going in the wrong direction. I felt that I was doing a lousy job as head coach and a change would help our team become more competitive."

Spurrier noted that he left a $3 million buyout on the table, saving the university money, and he praised interim head coach Shawn Elliott for changing the attitude and improving the enthusiasm and effort of the Gamecocks. South Carolina was just 1-5 under Elliott, but that included one-score losses to Tennessee, Texas A&M and Clemson.

In addressing the critics who suggested that he quit on the team, Spurrier suggested that his actions were actually for his players' benefit:

"I did not want a "Spurrier Farewell Tour." The players deserve to be the story of each game. Also, it would have prevented Shawn Elliott, a coach that has loved the South Carolina Gamecocks his whole life, from getting the shot to be the interim head coach, with the possibility of becoming the Head Coach here."

In general, Spurrier spoke in favor of coaching change:

"When a coach gets fired, the change is often good and helpful to the team. Miami was 4-3 when Al Golden was fired, and the interim head coach went 4-1. Randy Edsall was 2-4 at Maryland when fired and his replacement got the team playing better. Clay Helton, the interim coach at the other USC, was recently named head coach as they went 5-2 under his watch."

Dana walkout history

It was his first or second year playing at Florida State. Either 1979 Or 1980

One of the Florida State thugs tried to purposely hurt Bobby Parks. Refs ignored the call and Dana lost his **** as he should have protecting his players.

After the no call Dana instructed the whole team to take their bench chairs to center court. They say there for half an hour and somewhere in the middle of the sit out the refs declared the game a forfeit by MSU.

Dana was AWESOME

After that game the Tigers went on an incredible run and played their hearts out due to their coach making a stand.

Nope-different game--as I recall----FSU inbounded the ball and the fsu player took 3-4 steps walking up court without even dribbling the ball. Kirk gets a T---kirk pulls team off floor and puts the ball behind his back and tells the ref. --that if he is gonna call the game like that ----then the TIGERS might as well go home. Ref. calls forfeit .

Beautiful Bobby was injured in another fsu game by a dirty fsu player named Dean Schaffer ---I think that's his name. Cost Bobby the NBA-- but became a legend overseas .

I may be incorrect though--nobody4prez

Spurrier quit.

No two ways about it.
