quote:
It all has to do with Ron Morris of The State newspaper. He has some vendetta against Spurrier. He started writing articles last year that Spurrier stole Bruce Ellington from Darren Horn and the basketball team which help lead to Horn being fired and that Spurrier should be ashamed of himself. Then he has had several articles attacking Spurrier's personality recently. It reached an all time high when Shaw got hurt and Spurrier announced he would play against Missouri...he wrote an article saying Spurrier would do whatever it took to win and didnt care about his players. Mentioned that Shaw was in so much pain he couldnt walk and was crawling and rolling around campus (he forgot to mention that Shaw was cleared by team doctors and not Spurrier). Then lastly, he mentioned the other day that Spurrier is no different than JoePa and he wouldnt be surprised if Penn State type allegations has happened under the HBC's watch. Said Spurrier is so power hungry he will turn an eye to anything and will get a player killed if it means a win.

Very good explanation.
