Hmmmm. That's a real eye opener.
You have to love Donnan getting a dig in at Spurrier on the Champ Bailey story. I bet the OBC will be throwing his visor when he hears Donnan is recounting how Spurrier got clowned by Champ's mama.
I admit I am curious as to who the anonymous RB who supposedly stiffed Tech and Curry was for a pile of Christmas goodies. And I'm REALLY curious as to who the kid was who stiffed Tech, took a car from someone else, then transferred to Tech WITH the other school's car (and apparently, Curry's full knowledge that the kid got it by cheating first the NCAA, and then the school that gave it to him).
Jerry Tarkanian said once that the reason he liked transfers so much was because their cars and clothes were already paid for. Maybe Curry and Tark had more in common than we expected.
I doubr SOS is gonna waste any sleep over what Donnan said happened a decade ago. Besides,as SOS reminded us, we often beat him in the recruiting rankings, but could rarely do so on the field.
we need more elaine baileys in this world.
I'm not necessarily sure whether the episodes Curry recounts are from his time at Tech. They could be from his time at 'Bama rek-rootin' against Pat Dye. Or when he was coaching Kentucky and rek-rootin' against, well, everybody who didn't suck.
Good stories. Anybody willing to work enough could probably find out who turned Curry in for violations. Probably during his Alabama tenure.
A good book is the "Recruiting of Marcus DuPree", it may be out of print now, but is a great read.
Also pays to google stories about Eric Dickerson and SMU. Great stuff.
