Jerri Spurrier

boowilliam4 · 03-08-2017, 01:43 AM

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.

The Spurriers are good people. It means a lot to me, and should to everyone else as well.

I hope all my fellow Gamecocks never forget this.

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.

I got my Jerri Spurrier hug on the concourse outside the bathrooms by the elevators at Independence Stadium in December of 2014 .

I'm not sure anyone here ever said Spurrier was a bad person.

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.

Legalman72 · 03-08-2017, 09:25 AM

Thanks for sharing! I've never heard a bad word about her.

TKE226 · 03-08-2017, 09:56 AM

She sounds like a great person!

BeaufortCOCK · 03-08-2017, 01:24 PM

All I hear is great things about her.

She is ... with the practice facilities

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.

Cool. Thanks for being a great ambassador for our fanbase.

Her husband can go fly a kit, but I'm glad she still loves SC and the Gamecocks.

Where would you buy this "kit" that he's supposed to fly? Do they sell them at Middle School Coaching seminars??

SC Sandlapper · 03-09-2017, 02:03 AM

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.

GamecockNeal · 03-09-2017, 03:49 AM

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.
