Just in case he didn’t make it clear enough in his post game press conference yesterday, Steve Spurrier used his teleconference Sunday to reiterate his frustration at the USC fans who left around half time of Saturday’s 48-10 win over East Carolina. Spurrier said the fans in the East Stands and the students appeared to the main culprits .
“I hope we are not reverting back to the days when football wasn’t very important around here and the pregame party and the postgame party was more important than the game itself,” Spurrier said Sunday. ”I’m hoping our Gamecock fans will treat the game as the most important part of their Saturday football day. But it didn’t appear that way yesterday. Hopefully the people that leave will feel a lot of embarrassment. I know it’s a lot of students, but maybe the students need to feel embarrassed…”
Here are a few other notes from Spurrier’s call with reporters which you can listen to below.
