Spurrier points to schedules

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier couldn’t resist noting that the two teams in the SEC Championship game enjoyed favorable regular-season schedules.

“Alabama had the easiest schedule in the West division side, and Georgia had the easiest on our side,” Spurrier told The State newspaper of Columbia, S.C., on Monday. “I find it very interesting, and I haven’t seen anybody really write about (it).


I feel like we've been over this...

Spurrier brought this up in the preseason but Ole Miss turned out to be way better than expected. Most people weren't even sure if they would win an SEC game this year and they'd probably be a 9-3 team if the breaks went their way.

USCe had a better argument last year, when they beat UGA, only to lose to a west team while Georgia cruised on an "easier" schedule.

This year, the division winners beat the runners up head to head, so the schedule argument doesn't carry as much weight.

seems like there is a lot of babies on here. every year some teams have an easier schedule. i don't remember you little cocks complaining about everybody having a bye before bama a couple years ago. Spurrier is becoming the "little bitch" of the sec. yawl need to take a midol or something.

Spurrier's remarks would have more impact if he didn't constantly bitch about...everything.

Richt surprises me all the time. This should not have happened. I have seen firsthand and also witnessed on the sidelines how things said before a game on the college level do make a difference, sometimes a big difference.

One of the most vivid memories was when a top receiver once said he was the best in the conference and going against the opponent's defense was like "taking candy from a baby".

He went from hero to zero real quick when game day rolled around, and after the game his words were on the lips of every defensive player on the opposing team. This was the only team to shut him down and they completely shut him down. It was their rallying point, very clear to see. They turned his words against him and his team.

Big mistake. You don't see Saban allowing this sort of thing. In a battle, one of the keys to success is limiting communication that could hurt you and you'd think Georgia's "mentor" would know this important fact. Lack of control.

Meanwhile, four of LSU's eight conference opponents had a combined record of 42-6. I'm not complaining, a team of our stature SHOULD be playing through a brutal schedule, and this year's was lighter than our 2011 schedule.

Thought it was only LSU fans that whined about scheduling?

Good seeing people calling out Bama and UGA....maybe something will be done.

Regardless, go ahead and win UGA and beat ND in the NC......we'll forget about the easy roads until next year.
