The good stuff:
South Carolina and Duke officials have discussed playing a game, perhaps at a neutral site such as Charlotte or Atlanta, in either 2017 or 2018. According to sources with knowledge of the talks, the discussions are in the preliminary stages and all that has been determined so far is that a high level of interest exists on both sides.
On a Wednesday conference call with reporters aimed at promoting South Carolina’s Sept. 3 game with North Carolina in the Belk College Football Kickoff Game at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium, Spurrier was asked if he liked playing UNC on a regular basis.
The 70-year-old coach used the question to instead promote the Gamecocks and Blue Devils getting together.
“I heard there was some interest in maybe playing Duke,” Spurrier said. “Duke is a top-notch program now as we know. I love Duke University. I owe a lot to Duke, and I heard there were some conversations we might play them. If that would happen and it would be good for Duke also, I would like to do that.”
I'm in, especially if it means we get more Spurrier quotes pumping up Duke and trashing UNC.
