U of SCAR's most horrific athletic mistakes
Mar 11, 2019, 7:51 AM
|

On the way to work this morning, my mind raced through several mistakes the U of SCAR's athletic department administrations have made which have produced the putrid mess in which the U of SCAR athletic program finds itself. Some of my favorite ones were: 1. In 1900, getting rid of the moniker "Jaguar" and replacing it with a male chicken. Who would do that? 2. In 1895, adopting the color black based on a banner a local doctor gave to the team. What a down and depressing color for a uniform! 3. In 1971, dropping out of the ACC because the academic requirements were too high for them. In retrospect, that has not worked out very well! 4. In 1975, with 48 seconds and with a 4th and 19 on the Clemson 19, the U of SCAR called a pass play into the end zone to humiliate the visiting Tiger team by 36 points. That one play likely did more to re invigorate the Clemson program than any comment or win or loss ever in the history of our program.

I predict Dabo will continue to beat that @$$ and run up scores for as long as chump is there.

The Dabo/Spurrier relationship was always very respectful, even when heated at times. You could understand that Spurrier was only coaching the coots to rub it in to Tennessee.
However, I think the constant bad behavior by coots to Dabo has made him decide to rub it in as much as he can. Dabo was always (appearances) a kind sport about it, but now, well there isn't much mercy to keep it under 50.

Mid 1980's - Early 1990's: Being the sports program that is solely responsible for causing the 20 year long steroids epidemic that ruined the lives and careers of thousands of people.
...and STILL not being able to win a national championship or SEC championship despite being more juiced up than Barry Bonds.

Putting Todd Ellis in the booth. What a drop-off from Bob Fulton.

I respectfully disagree.
There is not a more descriptive voice for fan base than Todd's.
His voice somehow manages to wrap: trailer park, fast food employee, porta-john $ex, and dumpster fires into one sound.
E-harmony is jealous of the match.
