![]() So Jerri Spurrier walks into my work today (I work retail part time) around 5pm and she shook my hand as I introduced myself. We started talking for about 20 minutes and she said they were moving back to Florida in about a week or so. She told me how much she was going to miss all the players and how much she truly loved Columbia. I told her that she'll always be part of the Gamecock family and that I was thankful for the everything her and Steve had done over the years. After about 15 minutes of talking I could tell that she was getting a little emotional and seemed almost teary-eyed talking about leaving SC. She thanked me for being a Gamecock fan and asked me for a hug before she left the store. I'd only heard stories of how kind and caring Mrs.Spurrier was but after today I realize that she is one of the sweetest ladies I've ever encountered. Just felt like sharing that with my fellow Gamecocks. Spurs Up.

![]() If she sees all the good in SOS maybe the haters will too. I hope she comes back often to visit her Gamecock family and I can't help think she wanted to get her degree as a sense of personal accomplishment and will always be part of Gamecock nation.

![]() Spoke with her numerous times while working camps, attending clinics, and bringing prospects for visits. She really is a wonderful woman and I'm not sure Steve is as successful without her, at any of his stops. She really makes that thing go.

![]() Didn't she also get a graduate degree from USC as well? So she will always be a Gamecock.

![]() Yes, Psychology I think. I think I recall speaking at length with her about it once after a camp.

![]() I've never had anything but good things to say about Mrs. SOS. We all know the Spurriers gave a lot of money toward the school and the athletic facilities as well. I really don't have any insight into that family but if it's anything like mine, the Mrs. has a mighty influence on things like that.

![]() Why did his comment get deleted Smoove? I didnt love it but it didnt say anything that hasn't been said a million times on here. There was no vulgarity, no bashing of another poster, etc. If people are still upset at how things ended then that is their right as a Gamecock fan.
