So, NO, Spurrier's Death Valley comment didn't provoke the Dabo USC/LA comment. It was the other way around


I watched video and, you are right. Dabo did bring up the USC/LA deal at the end. He started off his presser saying all the right things, but then he ended up acting just as childish as the comments he was responding too during the last minute.

That being said, while Spurrier may have been the innocent party here, I'm not sure why USC fans are all up in arms about it when the real instigator was USC’s official Twitter feed @GamecockFB, who posted the Ellis quote but incorrectly attributed it to Spurrier.

The way Swinney handled it. He was told that it wasn't Spurrier who said it, and he still kept on.

I agree with you, and that was beyond stupid. Anyone who listened to the radio broadcast of that game knew full well that Ellis was making the comment, not Spurrier. How our twitter guy screwed that up, and then the Charlotte Observer ran with it, is completely beyond me. Heads should have rolled for that. It was irresponsible, especially as a direct mouthpiece for the university.
