PediGator Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 http://www.gatorcountry.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=6041&forum=1&start=0 It's interesting that a thread like this would come out not the day after Spurrier leaves, but 3 months later. Perhaps the most poignant post of all was the one by the lone TN fan who bothered to chime in. Just another sign of what an interesting character we have on our hands.

Mickalino Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 I wonder if all those guys are Redskin fans now. Has anyone sent them an invitation to this board ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy-the-Greek Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Nice post gator, good point Mick. I bet 1/2 of them are going to follow there old coach. The comment from the Vol fan was priceless. I kinda liked the "ie" comment. I hope he starts refering to rosenfels as Sagie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 It is amazing you'd see such complete adoration for him. No detractors at all, unless you count the media . I think Spurrier probably knows a bit about what he's doing on the offensive side of the football, so, I'm still going to try to pay attention to that, rather than to what the media's best guess is. Good post here PediGator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 Sounds like he was loved down there as much as we loved Joe Gibbus Maximus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 look at Spurrier's record. Heisman winning quarterback at Florida who comes back to lead the team to the NCAA championship. that kind of thing doesn't happen very often. I would be surprised if you would find many detractors among fans and alums of the school. How can you ask for a better decade than Spurrier gave them in the 1990's? I think the same mythology is developing around Gary Williams at Maryland. The Terps were a program on suspension and in the toilet when he came there. Nobody was going to Maryland to play basketball and the program looked destitute. Once again, a former Maryland player takes the team back from the brink and to the top of the heap. Williams now has a job for life. Not that the school was planning on replacing him anytime soon BEFORE they won the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
