re: Spurrier jab during trophy presentation

Did he really practice that? It wouldn't surprise me, because even when I first saw that a year or two ago, I thought it just seemed a little too rehearsed and scripted, especially when he starts throwing out specific years and stats and stuff like that.

Oh yes ... it was all scripted right down to who got to ask him the question in the end - a taternet blogger who gave him all the answers in advance.

When you listen to it, and go back and read the post on taternet that generated all the controversy before they realized it was Todd Ellis, our play-by-play guy who said it rather than Spurrier, and if you read all the replies in the thread ... Dabo was simply quoting from the thread which had been printed-out and handed to him the day of the rant.

Now, while trying to change his luck following the 5th loss in a row to us this past season ... he's gone back and apologized for that rant and recounted some of his remarks.

Up until that time Spurrier had taken very few jabs at Clemson and Dabo except for when Dabo instigated something ... but since then Spurrier has certainly stepped-up his game versus Clemson and Dabo. He's completely in their heads now.
