He doesn't understand how low-life a coach they have. Last time I checked, there have been a couple of secheat teams to make BCS bowl games in the same season in the past. I seem to remember AL and LSU both getting in a NC game a couple of years ago.

You can tell that it got under OBC's skin. I love it. Also, does he really want to go on record that his team can't get an invite to a BCS bowl because they can't ever win their conference? All in all, for someone who is known for being quick with words, that just fell delightfully flat.

You did nail it! He is used to his fan base thinking his stupid comments are cute. To them, they are, but to the rest of the real world they are just really weak comments by a jerk who is trying to make chicken salad out of chicken s-it.

will NEVER play in a championship game because your team is not good enough to win its conference championship.
So, if you believe that you are going to win a NC, you are advised to consider alternative schools that may have a chance of winning its conference championship.

If so, then Dabo's comment is still true about being the only school from SC to win one. We've just won 2 "BCS" bowls.

You think the sack would consider a secretary job for Tim B.
He doesn't even know which bowls he has coached, but his head is up Thomas Green Clemson's kazoo. He doesn't even know he is the winningest coach in Columbia over the past three years, EXCEPT for the equestrians and Tanner's BB team.

Obviously Spurrier's point was that, even though SCar has beaten Clemson 5-straight (and has had 3 11-win seasons), SCar was left out of the BCS and Clemson made it twice because it's tougher to get there from the SEC.
Considering the ACC's pathetic BCS bowl record (4-13) and the SEC's (17-9), I think practically all objective observers would agree that it's easier to get to a BCS bowl from the ACC and ACC teams have been typically less deserving.
SEC-East schools went 11-out-of 16 years (Florida, UGA, & Tennessee).
I don't think it matters how many different SEC schools went to BCS bowls, but even so, it makes no sense to count then-Big-12's Texas A&M as an SEC team because when Texas A&M got to the BCS, it wasn't in the stronger SEC (which was Spurrier's point).

A little amazed at it all. Was initially taken back and disappointment that Dabo would make a comment after a great win and given his staff has not conjured a win in the state rivalry...But for Spurrier to feel like he needs to respond? Guess it makes for good theater.

Then again, he doesn't seem to have that kind of self control.

was sub .500 until they were in the SEC for a few years. Anyways, is he saying he knew they would never make it to a BCS bowl because even he knows they are just SC in Bama's or LSU's conference? I say Bama and LSU because they've clearly been the only consistently strong programs over the past decade. Obviously, Awburn bought a MNC with Newton and I believe they lose this year. Florida was good early in the decade, but didn't even make a bowl this year.

Sure you can OBC. You just have to have a good enough record and not lose to teams you're supposed to beat. Not complicated at all actually. You want to bang your chest about being in the mighty SEC, so don't whine when you can't get the job done. Congrats on another good season though.

losers make excusers

Excusing what the factors are is one thing , but pretending to be in an unfortunate situation with your conference affiliations ? Geesh Ballcoot, success is what you have...be happy. They do own our butts right now, but they are just not good enough to end up clear of the excuse ledge...and they keep jumping off of it. Clemson is truly the University of South Carolina...

Enjoy your state championship, it is the only one you will most likely ever get and it is not because you play in the SEC.

Good point + lame point = overall mediocre-lame comeback.

Spurrier is right that it's harder for SCar to get invited to a BCS bowl because they're in the toughest conference full of desirable bowl teams. He should have left it at that. But the part about Clemson having been to an Orange Bowl before doesn't contradict Dabo's lame brag. It bolsters it. Clemson is STILL the ONLY team from SC to go to (what became a) BCS bowl. (I think. I don't have SCar's bowl history memorized.)

Spurrier must have let that alcohol kill the rest of his pea brain. It doesn't matter what you call it we are still the only team from this state to go to the Orange, Sugar or Cotton Bowl. Does Spurrier think in 1981 they were in the state of denial like they are now? W

The alcohol has eaten the rest of his little pea brain. Does he think anybody other than Clemson from this state has ever been to the Orange, Sugar, or Cotton Bowl? Yes, in 1982 we won the Orange Bowl but that's not the only other "major" bowl we won. We beat BC in the Cotton Bowl when it was one of 4 games on New Year's Day back in the good ole days. Use to be the Sugar, Cotton, Rose and Orange on New Year's Day and that was it. Then the Fiesta came along and about 30 more stupid bowl game. Spurrier is an idiot and he and his team live in the state of denial.

In the decade of the 50's we went to 5 bowl games. And this was when there weren't but maybe 7 bowls. Of the 5 bowl games we played in, 3 of them were what is today called a BCS bowl. We went to 2 Orange and a Sugar a Gator and Bluebonnet Bowl in the 50's. That was big time football back then. It really meant something in those days to get a bowl game. Not like today when you can almost have a losing season and go to a bowl. Oh, and we won the '51 Orange, lost the '57 Orange and lost the '59 Sugar to the LSU national; championship team that had the Heisman winner on the team. I was at the '57 Orange Bowl. It was the game Coach Howard told the team he would quit if they didn't play better in the second half. We trailed Colorado 20 to 0 at the half and came out and took a 21 to 20 lead before getting beat in the end. The '59 Sugar we lost 7 to 0. They scored on a high snap from center on a punt I think it was. We beat Miami 15 to 14 in the '51 Orange Bowl. So you see, this ain't our first dance and it won't be our last. SC has been jealous of our success for 100 years.
