Who is SOS second to in Winning Percentage?

We could play a numbers game all night.  I think the game has passed Spurrier by a bit, and we will see that in the next few years.

Winning % doesn't mean squat if you cant win the SECCG when it's on the line. Thats the sign of a great coach.

Says You.

I'd MUCH rather have the best winning percentage in all of football, than go almost lose my job, go 13-0 and not win squat one year, and then struggle the next few years until the school finally decides to fire me.

I'd also rather have the best winning percentage in all of college football, than to win for a few years, leave for the pros and get my ass kicked, come back and take a job I'll never win at, and still only have the same number of NC's as the guy with the best winning percentage.

So you would rather have a solid season, and not go to atlanta, then have a so so season, go to atlanta, and win?

Winning the SECCG isn't squat?? I assume you're talking AU here.

Over a decade is more than a few yrs...and also Gibbs isn't tearing it up with the Skins neither and he will easliy be in the HOF. While I dont think he'll be at SC long enough the same was said when he took over at Dook and UF as well though..so we'll have to see.

I would rather win CONSISTANTLY for over 13 years, than win one or two SEC Championships, and be average the rest of the time.

I think you are smart enough to know that winning one game doesn't make you a coaching legend. You're trying to say that winning the SECCG makes you a better overall coach, than consistantly dominating your schedule, and still ending up with the same amount of National Titles? Come on now!

And I think you are smart enough to realize that it takes alot of wins to win the SECC. Actually I'm trying to say that winning the SECCG seperates a good coach who gets there and doesnt follow through and a great coach that gets there and wins repeatedly.

I'd rather go three times and win one, that springboarded me to a National Title in an undefeated season, than go three times, win three times, still only win one NC, and then end up in losersville coaching a different team.

I wouldn't take SOS over Phil Fulmer if I was paid. I serriously mean that. If someone told me that they would give me a million dollars, as long as they could swap Fulmer and Spurrier out as coaches of their respective schools, I would tell them to keep their money.

Not that SOS isn't good, I just think Phil is the better coach and I wouldn't want to watch anyone but Phil coaching my Vols for as long as Phil wanted the job.

NC, do you think Spurrier's coming to SC was kind of a slap at UF for requiring to apply for the UF job instead of just rolling out the red carpet?

Game 3: defeat Louisiana Tech 42-17... again, great
Game 4: get pissed on in knoxville by Auburn
Game 5: defeat UGa 19-14... I guess their best performance of the season... neither team played well, but UGa played worse
Game 6: defeat Ole Miss by 4.... spectacular
Game 7: defeat Alabama by 4, wonderful
Game 8: defeat South Carolina by 14... I guess that's pretty solid, what can I say, Zook beat them by 34
Game 9: lose to Notre Dame 17-13... not impressed
Game 10: defeat Vanderbilt by 5... intimidating
Game 11: defeat Kentucky by 6... awe inspiring

if you dont think dominant teams can be sucessfull, look at 02 ohio state.

TEXAS TECH WON 45-21-okay tech... no defense
Kent State WON 51-17.. anyone expecting less
WASHINGTON STATE WON 25-7-nice win
Cincinnati WON 23-19- goal line stand
INDIANA WON 45-17- whoop de do
at Northwestern WON 27-16- winless nw team at the time and struggled.
SAN JOSE STATE WON 50-7- ole
at Wisconsin WON 19-14- pick at the one yard line with less then min.
PENN STATE WON 13-7- only touchdown wasn an int return.
MINNESOTA WON 34-3- strong preformance
at Purdue WON 10-6- who throws a hailmary on 4th and one? it worked
at Illinois WON 23-16 (OT)- a team with 4 wins
MICHIGAN WON 14-9 -won because of 2 offensive pass ints calls in the endzone on mich that werent pass interference and a pick at the one again.
Miami FL WON 31-24 (2OT)- awful pass interfence call imo.

a team that was not dominant against 8 teams, yet that team was a national champion that was 14-0, the only team ever.

It's possible...he does like a challenge though and SC is a huge one. At first, the thought of him possibly coming back made me excited..but I also realized that when he left he said he was tired of the booster mtgs, recruiting, etc...all that comes along with running a bigtime program and there was the possibility of only being there for a few yrs. So, I was happy with the hiring of a young up and coming 2 time National Coach of the year to lead this program now.

I wouldnt call OSU dominant, Miami was clearly the best team that year. I recall a horrible call, like apass interference call, that went OSU's way, woulda won the game for UM, but it didnt. Miami was a much better team, just not on that night.

I didnt blame the game on the refs. I jsut said it was a bad call, and if it wasnt called UM would have won right then and there. They still should have won though.

And, show me where I blamed the refs. I said it was a horrific call (last years UF/UT game) but we still should have won.

So please Beltway, learn what youre talking about so I dont have to waste another 10 seconds on you.

Claim: All colleges have regulations specifying how long students must wait if an instructor fails to appear, and these wait times vary depending upon the academic rank of the instructor.

Variations: Varying wait times (generally between 10 and 20 minutes) are usually assigned according to the rank of the instructor: the shortest wait times are for graduate assistants and the longest wait times are for tenured, doctorate-holding professors. Mandatory wait times for classes led by instructors with other academic rankings (e.g., non-tenured faculty, instructors with Master's degrees, visiting professors) fall somewhere in between the two.

Origins: Many a college student has had to confront the dilemma of what to do when an instructor fails to show up for class but hasn't informed anyone that class has been cancelled. An instructor might be a few minutes late in arriving at the classroom for any number of reasons, so of course you wait — but for how long? Ten minutes? Fifteen minutes? Until the scheduled end of class? It might be reasonable to give up and leave at 10:30 if no one has shown up to lead your 10:00 class, but what if the instructor strolls in at 10:40 and decides to give a pop quiz (on which every student who failed to wait will get a zero)?

Many students believe every college has regulations covering such circumstances, including detailed sets of rules that prescribe exactly how long students must wait based upon the academic "rank" (i.e., tenure and degree) of the tardy instructor. Surprisingly, although some schools do have an official "wait" rule, many institutions of higher learning have no official policies at all in this area, and we haven't found any college with written regulations specifying different wait times based upon instructors' academic rankings, which is the disputed point of this "everybody knows" factoid and the item on which our 'False' designation rests.

A related legend about students turning the tables on a professor who fails to show up for a lecture can be found on our Present Tense page. It appears in two forms: an arrogant professor who leaves the day's lecture on a cassette player, expecting students to stay to hear it, returns to find that his tape recorder is now talking to a roomful of other tape recorders with the students nowhere to be found, and a professor who chides a class for having left despite his hat being on the desk (signifying he had been there earlier and would likely be coming right back) next week arrives to find no students but a hat upon every desk.

Yeah, it's called sarcasam since that seems to be the only way that Flroida loses if you ask a Gator fan.

Not true at all. When have I ever blamed the UT loss last year on the refs? It was a big part of your victory, and if they had made the correct call we would have won. Not even you can say it was the right call. But we still should have won, and we still costs ourselves the game. I dont know how many times I have to tell you this Beltway, its like you have a learning disability.

How would you feel if I went around saying that the Jabar-drop was a big part of your win and how long do you think I would last on Gatorsports if I went around saying that every single time that game was discussed? That's right. You are very lucky here.
