I posted this in the Roundtable but decided to move it here.

Spurrier starts right where he left off.

Spurrier stoking Vols-Gamecocks rivalry

Steve Spurrier has yet to coach a game on the Gamecocks sidelines, but he's already playing them again with longtime SEC rival Phil Fulmer.

And this time the Tennessee coach is playing them, too.

On Thursday, Fulmer fired back at the South Carolina coach for calling out the Volunteers the day before for their latest off-the-field incidents.

"He needs to take care of his own house. He's got plenty of issues over there. We've had a lot worse things than this that we've gotten through," Fulmer told reporters after practice. "I don't [care] one way or the other what anybody says except the people that count."

Eleven Volunteers players have gotten in trouble with the law in the last 14 months; four were charged with assault in the last week, stemming from two separate fights on campus.

However, Spurrier, who replaced Lou Holtz in November, inherited a program with its own problems. Nine current or former players have been arrested since January, and a 10th player was dismissed from the team for violating the drug policy. Only two of those nine are still on the team.

More than anything, this is what I missed when Spurrier was gone.

Welcome back Spurrier! And Fulmer, as Spurrier once said, "Well, you can't spell Citrus with 'U-T!'"

Tennessee is turning into an embarassment for the SEC and it's great to have Spurrier back to prod 'em about it.

Well, pretty soon you'll have to work the letters "UT" into whatever bowl the 4th place team in the East goes to every year. Once the ol' ball coach gets things revved up in Columbia, it'll be dark days for the Vols in the East.

I wish him the mildest of success.
