I love Spurrier. I'd have to hate him if he went to the Dark Side....

Please let it be Spurrier. I hated Florida when he was there (mainly cause they kicked our butts), but have to admit that he was an excellent coach.

I will never forget when Auburn under Bowden beat Florida/Spurrier and the jerk wouldn't even shake hands after the game. From that day on, I have held him in the lowest of regard, slugs have more appeal, even slugs doused in salt.

Then again, beating Bama year after year has lost some of it's glamor, perhaps Spurrier will heighten the game another notch. I sure would be tempted to give the next finger (past the five on this hand) to Spurrier. Shula had class and my respect, a Spud won't.

Spurrier had no respect for Bowden. turns out he was a good judge of character. Tuberville and Spurrier are good friends and golfing buddies.

BTW, Columbia news stations have been reporting that Spurrier and USC agreed to a contract extension and a raise. Looks like the Evil Genius played Alabama like a Stradivarius.

Looking back, it was a very good move. ROLL TIDE
