Coach Spurrier presser is at 4:00

http://www.1075thegame.com/article.asp?id=579162

Quick hits from the presser.

1. SOS introduced the new coaches.
2. Best coaching staff since he’s been here.
3. Recruiting 09 year was very strong.
4. Class ranked 12th. Impressed that we were able to hang on to all our verbals.
5. Recognized Dodie Anderson for her contribution to academic center.
6. Brought in 31 player for official visits. 27 signed.
Shane Beamer at the mic now.
1. Upgraded RB and WR positions.
2. Gave Spurrier props for hitting the road and recruiting.
3. Key to getting Alshon was developing a good relationship. Credits coaches at Calhoun County for helping him make the right decision for him. Including Duane Wages who has taken a lot of heat from Gamecock fans.
4. Coach Spurrier.  Current players played a vital part in recruiting this year. Best attitude among player since he’s been here.
5. Great participaton at 6:00 AM workouts.
6.

Coach just shot down Joe Pearson. Pearson is a writer for The State aka The Snake. Told the retard that he wasn’t speaking to him and someone else should ask the question. Pearson only agenda is to do a hack job on USC. I appreciate the unbiased reporting by Matt and crew.

My spelling is horrible today.
It’s Joe Person or as coach call him “Negative Joe”.

Some quotes from the presser

-“This year might’ve been one of the best years ever for in state players. I think the #1 and #2 players are coming with us.“

-“But again, I think the recruting class this year is probably highlighted by Stephon Gilmore. Ellis Johnson did a super job recruiting those guys (Gilmore and Holloman)“

-“Jarvis Giles from Tampa was also a big pick up for us. Today, Alshon Jeffrey came with us. It was a very solid recruiting class. We brought in 31 players on official visits and 27 signed.“

-“Your current players have to be good recruiters and they have to believe in the program or you’re going to have problems. Give credit to our players. The one’s we have now have great attitudes; the best in a long time. We’ve had 100% attendance in the 6AM winter workout and that’s the first time I’ve been able to say that since I’ve been here.“

-“It was good to have the six players in in January. That was very hopeful. It was good to have them already on board. The new coaches pitched in very well as soon as they got here.“

-“We just felt like we needed another one (QB) here. And we looked around and G.A. and I watched a bunch of tape of a bunch of guys and we felt like Andrew was the best one out there. He wasn’t highly recruited. We think he’s got a chance. We really do.“

From Recruiting Coord. Shane Beamer:

-“Every year is different. It obviously starts with the head coach. You have to have a head coach that’s willing to get out there and work.“

-“The biggest thing is developing relationships.“

-“This group has a bunch of natural leaders. We have a bunch of Devan Downey’s. A selling point was that this 2009 signing class can accomplish great things at Carolina.“

-“Some of these (new coaches) guys got off the plane, came to campus, signed what they needed to sign, and got out on the road recruiting.“

Excuse me, but there are other sports and athletes who signed. Is there not one single female who signed in the Florence area? Wando had about 6 girls and maybe 2 boys. Shame, shame… :-(

We’ll recognize the female athletes when cooking and cleaning become sports. Until then, button up and go fix me a biscuit. 

Ok, Mookie…name the sport, and I’ll take you on one on one… I will kick your butt just because you are a male. I love beating men in sports. I was not one of those little, wimpy girls who let the boy win on purpose. I get sick of women not getting publicity. All is fair in love and war…LOL
Not nice….

I just came back to look to see if you would dare reply…and guess what the letters are to sign in…girls…and a number. See, even the spam Gods are on my side.
