Whittle, I love you to death, but why write this article if you weren't trying to make your job any harder?
"It didn’t make sense. Morris already had his public scolding at USC Media Day earlier this year when Spurrier stood up and made Bruce Ellington tell reporters his version of the events leading to him taking a spot on the football team. Most of it was contrary to what Morris reported in a story published by The (Columbia) State newspaper last spring.
Just shy of two hours later, it all made sense. News began to break that fifth-year senior and former starting quarterback Stephen Garcia was dismissed from the team. Spurrier was heading off something with his Morris diatribe, but I’m not sure exactly what. He was using Morris to deflect attention, but why?
Some media-types speculated, long before the Garcia announcement was made, that Spurrier was trying to get the focus on him instead of a big road game at Mississippi State. Weak. Real weak.
If Spurrier had to recreate a circus prior to facing a .500 football team, his squad would need just as much “coaching up” between the ears than it does on the field."
Just seemed as if you were getting your shots in at Spurrier. entertaining night for sure.

For whatever it is worth, Morris says he stands by his story. There are some other members of the media who say they have the same information that Morris does, thus the defense. I don't know the ins and outs behind the Ellington situation and how it all came about.

I gotta say I'm proud of SOS. I have been critical of him at times over the years but I think this was a win for him and our program. Of course this had something to do with the pending announcement of Garcia's dismissal. And why not? Spurrier and our program has been snakebit by moRon too many times to not know what the headlines would be tomorrow. He has taken the focus off of Garcia and whether it should have ever gotten to this point or not. Anything moRon writes tomorrow will be viewed as, "well he's just mad bc Spurrier called him out and won't talk to him anymore". What he did shows he is passionate about the program and cares about the players. I think the team will rally around him and it will make a good impression on recruits. Way to go Steve, don't help these reckless hack jobs who only hurt our program.

For those of us who have covered Steve Spurrier for more than a short time, it was easy to see from the second he walked in the door that he had something on his mind.
