Was that all it took for Steve Spurrier to summon the media on an hour and 15 minutes’ notice, stoke speculation over what this hastily-called news conference portended for his future as South Carolina’s head football coach, and spit fire interspersed with quotes from Attila the Hun? All because the local paper printed one comment from an out-of-town columnist that rubbed the Head Ball Coach the wrong way?
That was certainly what we were led to believe Wednesday, when Spurrier hosted his impromptu gaggle over at USC’s athletic department headquarters, and ranted about “enemies” trying to bring both him and the Gamecocks down.
