Steve Spurrier takes shot at Big Ten

[HammerDown]

“The Big 5 conferences all playing each other, I don’t think that makes a lot of sense, really,” he told reporters in Columbia. “Out of conference, playing East Carolina is a lot tougher game than maybe picking up one of those bottom Big Ten teams.”

Is he just speaking the truth?

SEC had 6 sub-500 teams, including 2 that went 0-8. -B1G Network response.

Was it last year or the year before that the top of the SEC went 30-0 against the bottom half? Attacking depth is something the SEC should aviod, but we all know spurrier is a dumbass.

Him and Wilson, trying to get people to talk about their teams.

The Big ten does suck, but south carolina isn't a top SEC either.

Is he just speaking the truth?

Yes. I've seen this posted multiple times on different sites and I just can't see why it matters. It's true. It's a weak dig, if at all.

Over the last four years they certainly are. Forget about the prior 18 years, those were just...practice...

Could go either way on that one.

 

[olympicoscar]

South Carolina has been pretty good of late.

 

[ericd7633]

I'm fine with it. You could argue they are better than half that conference anyways.

All conferences have bad teams at the bottom. Some just have more than others.

ECU's a decent little program and you could say they might be tougher than the bottom of the barrel team/teams in ANY of the major 5 conferences. They came within 5 of beating Va Tech last year so they're not exactly slouches.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

South carolina has been ok, but no SEC titles, and only a few SEC title games. The SEC east has sucked, i commend them for taking advantage of it.

But we all know he could do better than this if that was his intention. I think it speaks to the current state of the Big 10.

LOL

6. They came within 6

Hey! The East has "sucked" because Carolina is beating the dog-doo out of it. (Can we say dog-doo on this site anymore?)

Plus, the last three years South Carolina has played and beaten one of the top five teams from the Big Leventy-Teen on NYD, so I feel pretty confident that they're better than at least the bottom eight teams in the B1G.

Plus, they've never lost to Texas...

Will consult with Google on that and report back.

Edit: They said you can say 'dog doo' but not 'dog doo-doo'. Doo-doo is absolutely off limits. And so is bootay.

 

[Brasky]

Guys. This is Spurrier. He's a sniveling little bitch about EVERYTHING lol.

The reality is there's seldom gonna be a year where the B1G doesn't have a team in the playoff.

 

[nolehusker]

No. If you look at the context he was responding to if he thought that the P5 teams should only play other P5 teams. He just used the B1G as an example. He could've said any other conference and it would be true.

 

[Brasky]

I'm fine with it. You could argue they are better than half that conference anyways.

You guys only beat Purdue by a touchdown last season.

We beat 'em 44-7.

They are the bottom of the barrel in the conference, so you really aren't in a position to talk.
