Short as possible in depth breakdown of Spurrier's Media golf outing

I've already laughed at all your jokes before you post them but Spurrier's annual media golf outing is my favorite preseason presser of the year. It is just so pure, innocent, and untainted lol. The coach has no idea what he is going to have but we as fans love the hype and eat it up lol.

• Spurrier brings up Bruce Ellington. Well conditioned guy that can run all day.


• Summer conditioning was close to 100%. Six to seven years ago that was an unreal accomplishment. Spurrier gives credit to facility upgrades.


• Garcia has changed his lifestyle completely. He made all conditioning workouts for summer. Not goofing around. These are things that Spurrier has never seen before from him.


• Everybody is back on defense except Cliff Matthews. Cliff was great player and will be playing in league.


• Thinks Clowney will rush passer right away for defense.


• Spencer Lanning was an outstanding player for Gamecocks. Props to him for landing free agent deal with Chicago Bears.


• Jay Wooten (highly touted transfer from UNC) will most likely handle kickoffs and FGs. Patrick Fish will be punter although Wooten can punt as well.


• Spurrier makes bold prediction that special teams will score a TD this year. Something that hasn't been done while Spurrier has been there. He calls out new ST coach Jon Butler in crowd and says he believes they can do it with giggles from crowd. (Spurrier's preseason predictions are usually false lol)


• Demiere Byrd will be one of the fastest players in the SEC as a freshman. He will be a return guy along with Bruce Ellington.


• Spurrier said this is "talking season." Programs really don't know what they have. Everyone is undefeated right now. Everyone expects good years but you gotta go put it all together.


• When asked about schedule toughness: "We have a pretty good schedule every year. Not too tough and not too easy. Of course we have Clemson every year so that's nine games. So we have three choice games. We usually play UNC, NC State. An ACC team. East Carolina fits in that category this year. Then we got Navy coming which is a tough team to play." Spurrier likes schedule toughness and sees no need to play a team like Ohio St.


• Spurrier asked why Stephen has been the guy over the past few years: A)most mentally ready to play. B) Big tough guy that can take a hit.


• Garcia needs to get focus really sharp to have outstanding season.


• Pushed that Shaw will have a chance. Expecting good competition in Fall.


• Asked why teammates like Garcia: Because he goes to all workouts. Just a really good guy around teammates. He's just had some really stupid moments like "why'd you do that??" But he is smart. Already graduated.


• About GA Mangus: He is very remorseful. If he has another incident his coaching career could be over. All these coaches know that.


• Question asked about how to deal with coaching QBs without GA there. Would Spurrier Take over?: "Yea, I tried to do that even when he was out there" *Crowd laughs* "If he was not there this off season we'd still be able to practice."

I know I have said this before and you guys probably think I am full of shit or just crazy but every once in a while it just hits me that Spurrier is actually our coach. It is a surreal feeling at times. I think its when he talks about his past teams at UF. I remember when I hardly kept up with football I hated him. He was so arrogant and an asshole. The same reasons I love him today. He's getting his swagger back. The evil genius at lowly Carolina. Kind of catches me off guard to watch his pressers and look down and see a Gamecock logo on his polo to this day. Crazy I know..

Good, bad, great, evil, or all of the above Steve Spurrier is the head coach of my Gamecocks and I will enjoy every moment. No matter how you can twist it, it is a great era for our somewhat formerly simple football program. I wouldn't be surprised if he's here for 5-8 more years. Couldn't imagine the Gamecock fan's life without him..
