Listened to Steve Spurrier being interviewed on the Dan Patrick radio show today. He really angered me. Whatever arrogance he had is completely gone. And as much as he angered people when he was arrogant, he’s so much less interesting now that he isn’t.
He was so humble it was sickening and, in fact, he showed so much humility that Dan Patrick actually asked him what he thought of Lane Kiffin running his mouth last year at Tennessee. No, seriously.
Really aggravating to me. Part of the fun of following sports is following the characters and I have to say, following college football as a whole and the SEC in particular isn’t as much fun without Spurrier talking a big game and backing it up. Kiffin actually had the chance to be his successor but didn’t win big at Tennessee before bolting and his big talk won’t mean anything at USC because the overall Pac-10 fan base isn’t passionate enough to get really angered by him and the Pac-10 quality by in large is mediocre.
The Ol' Ball Coach, the one we all hated yet respected, I'm afraid is no more.
