So, besides exams over the last few weeks, I've also read a number of books. Th one that got me in a reading kick was Spurrier's autobiography. I could not recommend this book enough for any gator. It's an easy read that not only is great college football nostalgia, but even a great look at both leadership and relationships with people.
The book starts off with Spurrier discussing his decision to retire just a few days after a flood caused a game to be moved to Baton Rouge.
Spurrier's recruitment involved many coaches whose names are on Stadiums around the Southeast including Bryant, Dodd, and Vaught.
There is great discussion of games by Spurrier and one example of a detail I had forgotten is in that awful 1996 game at FSU we were without both starting tackles. There's a fun story about the referee meeting before the Sugar Bowl because of that game.
Again, great for any Gator wanting to take a look at not only the two sets of Spurrier years at Florida, but indeed an uplifting book about a guy who did things differently and became a legend.
