Spurrier: "Mr. Governor, Tear Down This Flag!"

Okay, so the Ol' Ball Coach wasn't that dramatic, but he did state publicly that he thinks South Carolina should remove the Confederate flag that flies at its statehouse. I've always wondered whether that flag gets used against the Gamecocks (and Clemson) in recruiting, and whether the Rebels imagery gets used against Ole Miss. So there's no real downside for Spurrier in making this statement, and lots of upside. One wonders if the presidential candidates who traipse through South Carolina will have the same guts as Mr. Shiny Pants.

I promise we're not turning this into a Spurrier or Florida blog. It's just a slow sports news period, and they're making news. Hopefully, Kyle will make it to Omaha for the CWS or something else interesting will happen. We're always looking.
