A gem from Coach Steve Spurrier's news conf.
On scheduling the first game between USC and S.C. State
"Two years ago we scheduled this game. When I got here, someone said, `Do you want to play South Carolina State?' I said, `Sure, why not. They're an in-state team.' I did not realize it at the time that they haven't played before. I didn't realize it was that big of a deal. If I had been here 10 or 12 years ago, I would have definitely wanted to schedule the game. It's a good game. Instead of bringing in teams like Louisiana-Lafayette, bring in South Carolina State or Wofford. If they beat us, they beat us. Coaches are always worried about somebody beating you. Everyone on the schedule can beat you."

Even Appalachian State.
Yeah, that would be funny if the new AD scheduled Arkansas State and then came back with the line, "Oh, I didn't realize they hadn't played us before." Somehow I don't see it happening. I like Spurrier's attitude, but I have a feeling it might be a little different if South Carolina State or Wofford actually had a chance of winning the game.
