True Story:

I was working at the Sanctuary on Kiawah Island a couple years back on the front drive. It was a big day. The golf tournament Coaches vs Cancer was arriving. Both college football and basketball coaches arrived with three invited guests to support fight against cancer. Of course no UGA coaches showed up but I met Frank Beemer, Roy Williams, and Butch Jones (when Bearcats coach).

Well this one Gamecocks fan was checking out as these guys were arriving. He had the whole schmeel: gamecocks golf bag, headcovers, hat, etc. Wouldn't you know it, ole Spurrier shows up. He's getting out of his car and starts strutting around letting everyone know he's there. This guy freaks out and starts the "OMG coach Spurrier! I'm the biggest fan, I love the Cocks, yada yada yada..." Spurrier just says "thanks". Then the guy says "Can I get my picture taken with you?" and Spurrier says ok. The guy's wife is about to take a pic as this guy puts his arm around OBC when OBC says "Whoa now, we just met!" He thought he was being funny but the poor guy felt bad. Truly, the other coaches around rolled their eyes.

After the pic OBC and the guy are still chatting about the Cocks. It was the Cocks this, and the Cocks that. Finally I said, "We need some Dawgs around here!" trying to be funny. Yeah, I know. I was being a douche. So ole Spurrier turns to me with a deadpan look and says "I'm sure there's trash laying around here somewhere." I laughed. I really did. Then they went back to chatting.

Some GT guy comes up to Spurrier and says, "Hey coach, just wanna say I don't follow SC too much but I admire you as a coach." OBC says, "Well I don't care too much for GT unless y'all are beating them Bulldogs." And he turns and looks at me right in the eye. I look him right back and say with a straight face, "Really? Really??" He just nods and turns away. A couple guys I worked with thought me and Spurrier were going to go at it. I started it, yeah. But he's a dick.

Anyway, all of the coaches- all of them- were great. Nicest guys you would wanna meet. Except Spurrier. frick him.
