That reminds me of when I hear parents say their kids have A.D.D. I think to myself, no, you just need to whup that A.S.S. Stop making excuses.

Most ignorant post I've read lately.

You obviously haven't known anyone with a severe case of A.D.D. You could beat them all day long and they would still never change because its not a choice. Yes, people with mild cases of A.D.D. can develop coping techniques to help them with their symptoms.

You might try reading something besides a football forum occasionally to educate yourself on these issues you believe to be "pretend".

OK.

But repeatedly beating Manning was just a small part of that. It was by no means a key benefit of it.

The only reason we Gator fans point it out is when UT fans make such a big deal out of his having gone to UT, despite the fact that his greatest successes were, by far, once he got to the NFL.

He kind of did a reverse Tebow, except that Tebow was barely mediocre in the NFL.

Tebow was in the NFL? :eek:lol:

He discusses it in his upcoming book. From the SDS article:


South Carolina reporter shares interesting stories from Steve Spurrier's upcoming book

"After losing 45-42 against Tennessee on Nov. 1, he left his postgame press conference without answering a single question and had problems sleeping and remembering the code for his locker and phone numbers later that week. South Carolina’s team psychologist diagnosed him with "acute stress disorder” and prescribed him sleeping pills, according to Spurrier."


for those who don't know what acute stress disorder is, it can develop into PTSD and affects daily functioning:

seems like Butch pretty much put an end to his career

Good share. Updated the Wikipedia page to include this as an example of Acute Stress Reaction under "Causes"

That's what I was thinking too. What have we become when a game causes PTSD?

For you it's a game. For him it's a career. The way that people react when we lose a game we should have won should make it clear what sort of seriousness there is if it's your job to produce results.

My comment was more of a reference to parents who are just looking for a convenient out, or who's children a victims of lazy patenting. You could put that same child in front of a television set or a video game, and their " attention deficit" would seem to be just fine. Everyone has to have an excuse when things don't go right, it's easier that way. My comment was more tongue in cheek than to be taken literally. Since you're so "educated" on the topic, you should start a forum about it instead of trolling other's comments.Finally let's not make assumptions, it makes you look as ignorant as you perceive me to be.

I must disagree. Spurrier left the cupboard pretty bare, particularly at Oline. i really think he was mailing it in the last two years or so in recruiting.

Seems to be a pattern there. He really mailed it in as far as recruiting during his last couple years at South Carolina too.

I'm a med student and my psychiatry rotation was 6 weeks on an inpatient child psych unit. That's actually one of the main ways we screened ADD/ADHD. if your kid had problems focusing on chores/school/whatever but none while watching TV or playing video games, then you don't have ADD. Just poor internal discipline. It came up a lot on family practice and peds too.

Hopefully you did encounter a legit ADD case also. There's one in my circle of friends and the parents have been at their wits end learning how to best deal with the child. Like Daddy61 they first thought it was a choice until they discovered discipline had no affect. Child can't watch a cartoon or play a video game...can't really appear to concentrate more than a few minutes on anything. Like diabetes, the disease is often diagnosed in error and lifestyle changes can provide symptom relief. The real cases are a challenge. Wish they could determine the real cause as its become much more prevalent in the last 30 years. Go VOLS, Go SCIENCE!

After all of Spurrier's rhetoric about UT, it's only fitting that the Vols are the team that drove him over the edge:clapping:

After that huge blown lead against UT, spurrier knew he didn't have it anymore. He should have quit at the end of the season and headed to the golf course. The man probably has 50 million banked plus a bunch of beach mansions.

Agreed, but I took it he was referring to the parentally diagnosed cases of ADD. Can't remember how many children I have been informed suffered from cases of ADD, Asperger Syndrom, etc., only to later find out there was no medical diagnosis - except that done online by mom. Yeah, sure. Makes it very difficult for those who truly have the condition.

Seems ironic that out of all teams, Tennessee was the one to end his career.

Well he coached the rest of the season and the first few games of the next season. Tennessee didn't end his career....his sorry assistants did.
