The most talked about quote from last week’s SEC Media Days came from, unsurprisingly, the mouth of Steve Spurrier. South Carolina’s coach took what some believed to be a subtle shot at Alabama’s Nick Saban.

“Alabama had five of the last six top recruiting classes, which makes him (Saban) the best recruiter in CFB,” said Spurrier, who claimed Saban had, based on his recruiting success, underachieved a bit with the Crimson Tide.

Spurrier, Saban, and other SEC coaches will appear on ESPN’s platform of programs today. Before doing so, Spurrier clarified his comment about Saban.

Steve Spurrier said his greatest CFB recruiter quote about Nick Saban: “not taking a shot at Saban. Just talking"

With Spurrier set to be on a variety of ESPN’s programs, this surely won’t be the last time he speaks about Saban’s recruiting ability. The South Carolina coach is seemingly always good for an entertaining quote and many more will likely come today.

Liquor will make you say things that are best kept in your head.

Spurrier lacks stones... If you are going to talk that much crap, at least own it.

Poor old Stevie is so bitter that Nick has been making history recently and all Steve can do is remember his glory days as a GATA. Steve get's in the HOF solely based on what he did at UF not SC. Nick could do it with LSU or Bama.

Tunes are going to change when the Sith lord is sitting across the table from you. Bielema's tone towards Saban and Bama would have been dramatically different today as well, had he have been in Spurrier's seat.

And on top of all that, I'll bet Coach Saban doesn't even give a damn what Stevie says.

Fulmer was a frequent victim of Spurrier's head games, and you could tell that SS really got under his skin.

CNS seems amused by it, but in no sense distracted.
