After South Carolina squandered a 14-point fourth quarter lead with just a few minutes to go in its 45-42 overtime loss to Tennessee on Saturday, we anticipated some memorable quotes from South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier.
And, well, the press conference was memorable. But it may be for what Spurrier didn't say rather than what he actually did.
You can watch the press conference above, but don't worry, you don't need to get up and make a cup of coffee to enjoy during it. Unless you drink coffee, really, really, really fast.
The quotable coach was clearly frustrated by his team's performance and didn't take questions from the media after the game. After a rambling statement, Spurrier ended it with "So I don't need to take any questions. You guys watched it and I just need to get out of here. Thanks."
Tennessee scored with 1:50 remaining in the fourth quarter to cut South Carolina's lead to 42-35. Then after getting the ball back, the Volunteers scored with 11 seconds left to tie it after a 9-play, 85-yard drive.
Both teams combined for 1.270 yards of total offense. South Carolina, which started the season in the top 10, is now 4-5 and 2-5 in the SEC.
