Steve Spurrier was in rare form on Thursday. The always quotable South Carolina coach commented on his star defensive end's speeding ticket on Saturday and was able to get a shot in at an old rival, Florida State.
Spurrier to Bianchi: "I didn't know Jadeveon's car that could go that fast. He doesn't have a pretty car like those FSU guys used to drive."

Clowney was ticketed for going 110 MPH in a 70 MPH zone on Saturday night. He was driving a Chrysler 300. But it wasn't just Florida State who Spurrier got to dig. His old employer and alma mater Florida was the subject of one too. Spurrier's Gamecocks are playing Wisconsin in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando on Jan. 1. Florida, after a 4-8 season, is not heading to a bowl game.

Earlier this season, Spurrier got a great poke in at Tennessee and one at Arkansas and one of his coaches' shows was pulled because he said he was unhappy with what he said. Bless you, Spurrier. Your trolling is still fantastic.
