Title: Did anyone watch the SOS "SEC Storied" last night? Post by: BanditVol on September 04, 2014, 03:56:14 EDT Towards the end, there is a series of people saying how devastating the 2001 loss to Tennessee was. :naughty:
It's well worth watching! :thumbup: Title: Re: Did anyone watch the SOS "SEC Storied" last night?

That was probably our best team other than the 95-96 squads -- maybe as good as those. Of course Gator fans will point to Earnest Graham being hurt as a factor, and it was. But our defense just couldn't stop you guys -- we'll never forgive Jon Hoke, LOL. UT definitely got us that year -- of course, we gave more than we got in those days. :) Title: Yeah, I always respected Spurrier for his Post by: VOLMAN on September 04, 2014, 04:37:45 EDT honesty (whether he was discussing his team or yours) although I used to despise his smart alec remarks. After watching that show I now think, for the most part, he isn't so much attempting to be a smart a$$ as he is just employing good natured smack talk at his competitors (of course in a few cases you can tell it's intended to hurt because someone has first denigrated him/his program). He was a true athlete and competitor to the core. :patriot:

I would say it's a toss up between that game and 1998 gators in Neyland, with bammer 95 being the all time fave. :biggrin: And yes, on balance you gave more than you got under SOS, no doubt, but in that final four year stretch it was 2-2 with us winning Stevie's last game in the swamp. :nod: Title: Re: Did anyone watch the SOS "SEC Storied" last night?
