Much like Spurrier hated Tennessee for not recruiting him despite growing up an hour from Neyland
This isn't true on both counts.
First, the distance between Science Hill HS in Johnson City to Neyland Stadium is, according to Google:
The driving distance between Science Hill High School in Johnson City, TN, and Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, TN, is approximately 150 to 160 miles.
This drive in the mid-1960's would have taken at least 2.5 hours.
SS understood that UT ran an offense completely and totally inconsistent with his QB style. He has stated on numerous occasions that he understood and held no hard feelings. Further, SS's father was a preacher who relocated his family approximately every four years. SS was not a native Tennessean with a strong Vols orientation.
Now, Steve absolutely hated Georgia.
An interesting tidbit - All three of UF Heisman winners fathers were preachers.

I listened to this game while working at Joe's Deli, the one right across from BHG. I was three hours late to work. I spent the night before in jail for fighting. I could hear the stadium roar plain as day

re: LSU played a dangerous game with the SEC. Now the bill is coming due

LSU and it's brethren just doesn't get it. The future of college football if we can even call it that is a co-opetition model between the SEC and the Big10. The concept is two or more competitors working together collectively for the greater good of the product. The Big10 and the SEC now need each other.
What's occurring right before our noses is the SEC wanting to up their academic game and while maintaining competitive dominance in athletics. The opposite is true for the Big 10. I don't think the Big10s academic integrity has ever been questioned. The same can't be said for the SEC. Vanderbilt and Florida have carried the academic torch for this conference for the last 30 years. To a lesser extent Georgia. The addition of Texas, Texas A&M and Missouri all strengthen the academic profile of the conference.
I don't think LSU will be expelled in this round of the fight. I do think the SEC it's going to b**** slap LSU. LSU is going to have to humble themselves and do exactly as the SEC instructs. LSU is going to be on a very very short leash and the SEC is prepared to clip that leash at any time.
In times past a founding member would have never been expelled. This is not times past this is the future. Outside of athletics which LSU maintains little integrity LSU brings absolutely nothing and I mean nothing to the table as an institution of higher learning. Unfortunately the future of LSU is moving in the same direction as the state of Louisiana and Baton Rouge.

re: What is the SEC’s strategy in prolonging the lawsuit against LSU?
Posted by VolunGator on 10/15/26 at 10:01 am to DawgsLife
Expansion is inevitable. 15 SEC presidents want LSU removed to open that slot during expansion. Everyone outside of LSU understands and sees LSU in the state of Louisiana for who they are. It is my prediction that LSU will not be a member of the SEC. LSU's celebration cry STTDB define LSU's administration and lack of institutional control up to and through the state government. If LSU is not expelled in the next 2 years it will be because somebody at LSU decided that integrity is important. No other power conference will add LSU for at least 10 years.

Donald R. Dizney is the chairman of the board of United Medical Corporation.
Donald R. Dizney is a Bull Gator (huge money donors) with several UF facilities and buildings bearing his name or family. He has great influence over and with the Bull Gators Club.
It's thought that he doesn't care about championships but instead is satisfied with competitive teams representing a top five public institution academically.
If the proper spelling (Dizney) was used most readers would simply assume a spelling error.
Paragraph three describes a "Disney Gator."
Alabama and LSU as examples are solely focused on athletics as the primary identity and purpose of the institution. Average academics with superior sports teams
Disney Gators prefer to be viewed in the light as Cal, UNC, Virginia, Michigan, etc

This isn't true. It's true that Pike said this. But Colleen had no interest in Shipp. Several other students contradicted Pike's testimony. Colleen told several friends that Shipp wasn't her type. She didn't date black guys. Pike then accused her of being racist.
