Bama is a big step up from USCeast.

Well, there's a 90% chance that's where I'm going to school... so...I'm not sure how to react to this. It's a big name, so I guess that's good.. but I've never been very fond of the guy.

The good news is that UA's offense will be more interesting with Spurrier at the helm.. who knows?

My guess is Spurrier doesn't end up there, though. It just seems like his name is thrown out every time a program fires their HC.

I guess my question is.... would Alabama really be that big an upgrade? I mean, prestige-wise, of course it is. But can UA really sell its program to recruits any better than South Carolina could sell their's?

I used to dislike Spurrier. I've had a change of heart. It's not that I like him much. Certainly his voting of ND last year was BS. However, I like that he's a straight shooter. If he doesn't like a coach or a team, you will know it. College football is so PC with everybody trying to be nice through the media. It's fun to see a guy like Spurrier making comments like "You can't spell Citrus Bowl without UT." I think he's entertaining. I think he's good for college football. If this happens, I think it will be great because it will give him an even bigger stage.

Every good movie needs a GREAT villain.

If he's at Bama, he'll still go head to head with Meyer on and off the field.

I always liked him at FLA.

This rumor has gone very quiet.
