    That's not what I said about Smart telling Rashada to not litigate. I said Smart could have/should have ended his relationship with Rashada. Smart had no obligation to have the coming distraction on his team.

    If he felt he had to honor any already signed agreement with Rashada, he should have said so. If that is the case, he could have couched his words differently plus it may be that Rashada was given no choice except to go back into the portal.

    Either way, Kirby Smart didn't have to give his blessing or approval. Expressing a reservation is far different that telling Rashada not to move forward.

    You are entitled to your opinion. Yet, it doesn’t really matter what you decide to believe, does it? It’s not Smart’s place to bless or discourage Rashada from non program related legal matters and I believe were the roles reversed, Napier would have acted similarly. Smart was clear on his position. You are owed nothing and Smart was not obligated to state whether or not Rashada’s pursuits changed his standing with the program.

    He ought to sue Smart for wasting a year of his eligibility

    Just taking Rashada in the first place tells you all you need to know. It's not like he played when Beck went down. He could've brought anybody he wanted in for the third quarterback and that's what he chose. He's always choosing to stir up shit, but that's OK, if I were the coach of the gators, I would strip shit with him too

    He's their Spurrier. And yes, the troll factor was definitely in play. But this is also low-rent stuff SOS wouldn't have engaged in. He'd rather just put record numbers on your ass in your home.

    What was that score in Sanford stadium again? I think it's still the worst beating they've ever taken there.

    Yes, Spurrier was unlikable by most other teams, but in a much different way. He was never a douche bag like Kirby Smart.

    Spurrier had a I will beat you with your higher ranked players mentality.

    He just hasn’t found a school worthy of his immense talents.

    My guess is the lawsuit just ended his playing career - a pariah.

    I don’t think anyone cares about the lawsuit other than us. He’s just not that good.

    I believe he sent Danny back out late in the 4th because someone threw something that hit one of our trainers in the head. Gave an order to throw another TD to send the dawgs a message.

    Except I think it was Eric Kresser who threw the last TD in that game. I believe it came immediately following a cup of tobacco spit that landed at Spurrier’s feet
