I saw an article in a South Carolina paper today that talked about the University of South Carolina's team motto "Win Anyways". Spurrier said he came up with it because during the course of a season every team has key injuries, suspensions, hard times etc., but he says excuses are for losers and he doesn't allow them into his locker room. He goes on to explain how winning is a mentality that starts from the top down with the coaches and team captains...the whole time I was reading it I couldn't help but wonder: what is our team's motto and what kind of mentality have we been using?

Easy to have that motto when you are winning most of the time. When you are losing, what are you supposed to say? "We are terrible, we'll never win again." You can't let yourself fall into a deep hole, so you have to stay positive. Spurrier wouldn't be saying the same things if they were losing. You guys read way too much into coachspeak.

I think Skip's motto is right out of Randy Moss's playbook: "Straight Cash, Homey"

I wrote this motto on the top of my whiteboard during an interview the other day. It seems to have helped :)

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
