South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier is doing ESPN's "Car Wash" interview session today, and from the get-go, he promised not to take any shots, as he's accustomed to doing.
Spurrier literally walked in door telling us ... "I'm not taking shots at people. I'm just talking." Away we go. #ESPNSEC

But that didn't stop Spurrier from taking a shot at his rival coach's knowledge of the solar system. On Monday, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney explained his relationship with Spurrier as, "He's from Pluto, I'm from Mars." The problem with that analogy is that Pluto is no longer considered a planet, and Spurrier jumped in right away with that knowledge bomb.
Spurrier: "Planet? Dabo prob still thinks there’s only 9 planets out there. You know what, I read that (Pluto) may not be considered one."

Hatin' Ass Spurrier "just talking" is pretty great, too.
Update: This is still going.
Dabo Swinney: "(Spurrier) didn’t know Pluto wasn’t a planet."
