USC was represented at SEC Media Days by the HBC, Connor Shaw, Jadeveon Clowney, and Bruce Ellington today. Unsurprisingly, Spurrier stole the show, talking about paying players, Notre Dame, his “visor guy,” and pretty much anything else he wanted to say. Check out some of the highlights below.
  1. Spurrier’s proposed $300 amount is per game. Spurrier said he will keep fighting for this until Pres. Obama tells him to stop
  2. Spurrier says he will keep fighting to get the players more money to help them out and help out their parents. Expense money is his term.
  3. Spurrier said all the coaches voted at the SEC meetings to pay players for expenses. Said it would be $300 per game in football.
  4. Spurrier says all the SEC coaches feel Notre Dame should join the ACC and play football.
  5. Spurrier thumps Notre Dame for working outside BCS conferences and being included in playoff talks.
  6. Spurrier: “When Obama tells me to shut up about taking up for my players, I will. Until then, I will continue.”
  7. “We’re knocking at the door,” Spurrier says of winning SEC championship.
  8. Spurrier: “It’s been a team effort at @UofSC. We’ve got a great president @HarrisPastides & AD @RayTannerSC that have helped tremendously.”
  9. Spurrier asked if he’d “turn in the Gators” for an NCAA rules violation. “We’ve probably turned people in” he says but not specifically UF
  10. HBC:”I’ve had experience coaching two quarterbacks that can play. They could be in the game at the same time. Connor could play (RB or WR).”
  11. Spurrier on Hugh Freeze: “We both play golf. We both wear visors. We both call plays.” #secMD2013
  12. Connor Shaw went skydiving this off-season after his foot surgery. What the HBC thought of that? Spurrier said he’d like to do it, too.
  13. SOS asked if he has a nickname for Clowney. No, but heard “Wild Thing” on the radio and thought, “Maybe.”
  14. Jadeveon Clowney now doing his Steve Spurrier impersonation for CSS. “That squeaky voice” Clowney says
  15. Clowney has not talked to Vincent Smith. “I don’t know if he wants to talk to me.”
  16. Clowney confirms he recently ran a 4.46 40, and that he is “between 268 and 270″ pounds. Uh, wow. #SECMediaDays
  17. Jadeveon Clowney: “I didn’t want to come in No. 1 and not leave No. 1.”

  25. Connor Shaw: People underestimate my passing ability and underestimate Dylan Thompson’s running ability.
  26. How was the thrill of skydiving? “Nothing compared to playing in front of 90,000 people.”
