"Later, when Orlando Sentinel reporter Jeremy Fowler introduced himself to Spurrier, the Head Ball Coach said, 'Yeah, Jeremy, how come your buddies didn't come to your defense that day?'" -- Game, set, and scorch, OBC.

OBC is da bomb
I hated him beating Auburn (and reveled in the few special wins), but always admired his snarky honesty and one-liners. Now that he is a mere mortal coach at USC, I have to admit he’s still the most entertaining of all coaches when interviewed, and I include JoePa (my other favorite) in that group.
The man has style by the bucket. Let him coach forever.

…and say exactly what’s on my mind. I’ll have alzheimers in spades by then, of course, which is the only way I could ever be 1/1000th as cool as the OBC.

13 years later! Awesome. Ole Ball Coach doesn’t forget. I get the feeling that he keeps a well worn “Enemies List” hand written in a notebook covered with the stitched hide of Larry Guest and Bill Curry.
I still miss the OBC...
As good as its been to be a Gator this century, and its been unbelievably good, nothing will ever quite live up to the 90’s and FINALLY owning those poodles!
Yesss, Amen!
Coach Spurrier delivered us from a zone somewhere between mediocrity and Hell. He did it in a way that will still glow decades from now and he did it with balls and wit. I think the world of Urban Meyer but I will always have a special affinity for the OBC.
