Flashback, New Year's Eve 1989, one Steven Orr Spurrier returns to his alma mater, whose football program was under the NCAA microscope for the second time in five years, whose program had never won an outright SEC title in its' history, as head coach. The next decade speaks for itself.
Fast-forward to November 15, 2014. His beloved alma mater, and the football program that he himself helped take to the highest levels, suffering in futility and in a death spiral with the possibility of the mangy UGA Dawg as its' head coach backing into an SEC title game and saving his job for the foreseeable future. Spurrier brings in his own struggling Gamecock squad, a squad that was giving up 34 points per game on defense, a game under .500, and holds the mighty Gators in the stadium bearing the moniker he came up with, to a mere 20 points in overtime, and, indirectly, ridding the UF program which he still cares about of the miserable stench of a UGA Dawg poser as its' head coach.
It sucks to lose any time, but thanks Steve, indirectly I guess.....
