Link: Spurrier concerned about "too much" access by SEC Network

I wondered how long this was going to take. The network wants to get as close to the program, coaches and players as possible but will that create problems?

I can guarantee you they will not go anywhere Coach Saban doesn't approve of at Bama.

I remember reading Mack Brown's complaints about the level of access the Longhorn Network had. But, what an egotistical network that is! Of course they had to have too much coverage of the Texas program, and I can understand it being both a drain on the coaching staff, and revealing too much. But, the SEC Network is spread out over 14 programs. I imagine the benefits will far outweigh the downsides in that case, since it won't be overly burdensome for the coaching staffs to draw the line.

Spurrier thinks TV is getting too close.....naaah.

Hopefully they will strike a balance that makes sense.

I love the potential for more coverage and insights. Look at that video I posted the other day with Coach Saban and G-Mac discussing film. Would love to have more of that, please.

Spurrier can have his own little reality show. We know how he loves attention.

It can't be bad. He'll have the opportunity to limit them where he goes. Or maybe he is just complaining to complain.

I think this shows he has run out of things to whine about, excepy maybe his oatmeal being too lumpy :nopity:

Spurrier is worried a cameraman might talk during his backswing.

The linked article does not include the quote listed in this thread title. Did Spurrier say that or not? The only similar quote I see is "They probably get a little bit better access than most people.”. Did they change up the article/

I would find it funny for him to have said this given that he constantly gripes about how ESPN doesn't find their way to Columbia very often. He seriously has made a stink about it in regards to Gameday, signing day (cause there was an ESPN crew at Clemson), and just general lack of exposure of USC.

Is it just me, or has Spurrier been a little more friskier the last few weeks than he has in a while?

The cockier he is, the better his teams seem to be, so we'll see if that ship has sailed.

I can believe he would say something like that, I just cannot find anything in the article where he said it, or anything similar to that.

Not really sure why he is so cocky this year... I think they will be 9-3.

I don't necessarily disagree, it's just weird.

In the pre-season, I'm prone to dream big. I imagine all kinds of success for the team. The crazy aspect since Saban got here is the team can often out-do your dreams. (When we humiliated Notre Dang for the title, I thought...it can't get any better than this.)

My big dream this year would be to see an undefeated Saban team beat an undefeated Spurrier team in Atlanta. That would make a most excellent prelude to the next two games.

scrodz · Aug 8, 2014

We're making too many concessions to TV networks. Anyone miss the Third Saturday in October? Only a matter of time 'til they roll out the reality shows...

And then meet an undefeated Oklahoma team in the championship game. (But we know Bob will blow it, don't we?)
