Segment 1
-- Spurrier talking about Marcus Lattimore. Says he's sure he'll rehab and be playing football somewhere next year. Said he was all for Marcus making whatever decision he wanted to make and that he agrees with the decision. Spurrier said it pains him to see one of their players get hurt but especially when it's someone who he knows has an NFL future, yet isn't getting paid to play in college. Says again that he believes college kids should get a piece of the pie.
Spurrier says the Jadeveon Clowney and Connor Shaw are doing fine. Neither is scheduled to have surgery after the season unless something happens to them in the bowl.
Segment 2
-- Michigan lost close game to Michigan St and Ohio St. Got beat up by Alabama.
Denard Robinson plays a lot of different positions and is very fast and hard to tackle.
Spurrier says Ward said that Michigan runs a lot of double moves.
Have to be ready for a little bit of everything as far as what they do on defense, like just about everybody.
Michigan hustles and doesn't make many mistakes.
-- Caller wants to know if there's anything Spurrier would have changed in the two games they lost. Spurrier gives an answer but honestly I missed what he said.
Spurrier says again that both quarterbacks will play in the bowl. Connor has played well in practice so far. Spurrier says he's gotten the message that he needs to get rid of the ball if someone is open. We like him to run if nothing is open. Dylan may be one of those that plays better than he practices.
You want one guy that is clearly better but they both deserve to play.
Segment 3
-- Amanda in the audience asks Spurrier if he has any superstitions. He said you try to do everything the same, but that he stopped wearing his white visor after they lost two games in a row and switched to a block visor with black pants and black shoes.
-- Spurrier says the team votes on the uniform and he think they're going all garnet in the Outback Bowl.
-- Caller says there's a Clemson radio guy who says that the Michigan LT will neutralize Clowney. Spurrier says that the LT is really, really good. Spurrier says they'll probably try to block him one-on-one and see what happens out there.
Segment 4
Entire segment was an infomercial. They're not giving me a cut of it, so not gonna summarize it.
Segment 5
-- Spurrier says that he was over at the basketball games and had a good time. Good win for men's team and a lot of respect for Dawn Staley and her program.
-- Zo wants to know what the expectations are for next year. Spurrier says if they lose the bowl game, they'll probably be a top 25, top 18 type team going into next year and if they win, they'll probably be a top ten team.
-- Spurrier on underclassmen and the NFL: "I don't think so... It would surprise me if any of them left."
-- "Shon is ready to play. Shon Carson is going to play in the Outback Bowl." Kenny Miles strained his knee a little bit against Clemson and hasn't practiced as much. Mike Davis and Carson have been rotating a lot in practice.
-- Will wants to know what Spurrier is most proud of at South Carolina. Spurrier says it all goes together, but he's a big believer that players going to class and staying out of trouble leads to success on the field. Graduated 50 players in the past two years. Had 6 or 7 graduate last week. Facility improvement has been outstanding and gives them a chance to recruit top prospects in the state. Read prior to 2002, had two boosters to give a million or more. Recently have had 8-10 do it. Winning because the boosters have stepped up. Ultimately team sport.
-- Spurrier said that had the guys who graduate stand up at practice on Tuesday. He says he told the young guys that that's what you do at South Carolina. You win a bunch of games, hopefully win the state championship, one day win an SEC hopefully, and then you graduate.
Segment 6
-- Darrell from Columbia wants to thank Spurrier for being a part of the community too. Most coaches try to do that Spurrier says. Columbia is a wonderful place to live. "Columbia is my town now." Most of his family is here.
-- Sometimes you lose a guy and sometimes you pick up a guy, Spurrier says, about recruiting. Sometimes you lose a guy and someone takes him, other times you take one from somebody else. All of our committed guys seem to be happy.
Segment 7
-- Spurrier says looking forward to the bowl game. The Capital One Bowl win was one of his favorites to get to 11 wins. Now have the chance to do it again. Looking forward to it.
