I've shared this story on Spurrier here before, but it is relevant to the Spurrier's mindset regarding FSU. I had a chance to meet him at a fairly large event and I started talking to him about how the 1997 FSU game was the best game I've ever attended and probably the most cathartic event of my life (sorry kids).
Spurrier looked at me deadfaced and unimpressed said something to the effect of "so, you were in Gainesville for most of the years we won 7 SEC titles and a National Championship, and that is the best game you've ever seen?"
Then, he almost immediately turned to his disappointment of that year being the only year he lost to Georgia, but that even with that loss, if Doug Johnson doesn't throw 2 INT's against LSU that year we are playing for another SEC Title. Instead, he begrudged two teams we beat playing for the title.
He offered zero commentary on a game that Bowden once remarked was one of the worst of his career. Take from it what you will, but even 3 years ago, his priorities were obvious. I'm not suggesting he didn't "care", but he did not care as much about FSU.
