With all the time my players have spent in prison issue, orange jump suits, I'm afraid they might get confused as to what team they are on."

That is good....

Spurrier claiming to hold some sort of moral high ground over Jim Tressel is like bin Ladin claiming to be collecting for the Hebrew Youth Fund.

It's only a joke. I laughed.

Yeah, me too. Not a big laugh, but it was worth a small chuckle.

Its Spurrier. This is his way of paying homage to a fellow coach.

As a kid, I went to a Tangerine Bowl.

fair enough, but at least Citrus is along the same lines as Tangerine... you don't see them renaming the Holiday Bowl the Met Life Bowl. we get it. basically, my attitude towards Capital One is "you sponsor the freaking bowl game. we get it. there's no need to change the name."

Ehh, mark me up as thinking of it as a douche bag joke. No reason to do that, but whatever its no biggie.. couldn't see JT doing that another coach.

Tressel chalked it up to a miscommunication with another staffer.
South Carolina is playing No. 2 LSU this week. In a conference call on Sunday, Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier revealed his vote - and took a shot at Tressel.
"I can honestly say I voted them (LSU) No. 1," Spurrier said. "I'm not pulling a Jim Tressel - y'all can check it out."

It would be sweeter than honey for Tressel to get back at him some time in the future. I can see it clearly:

Reporter: "Jim, with all the success that you've had at the collegiate level, have you considered taking a shot at the Pro game?"

Jim Tressel: "No, I haven't. I wouldn't want to pull a Steve Spurrier."

I doubt TOBC was trying to offend anyone. It's pretty funny IMO.

Be for real, scooter. Steve Spurrier pays homage to only one man, and that's Steve Spurrier.

I've been a Spurrier fan for a real long time. I know how the man is. His way is to irritate the next opponent, not some random coach from another conference he'll likely never face across the field.

Seriously are people really so trigger-happy to be offended by this? H Christ it isn't like he was saying Tressel doesn't graduate players, or recruits criminals, or cheats. If he said something to take a shot at the Clarett situation, I could see people getting POed, but it seems to me too many people are searching for ways to be offended.
