For some reason he is obsessed with us and always has been. It's flattering I guess

He should probably think about how we beat them last year and how we really going to thump that head this year. Air Ball Style

Spurrier grew up a fan and would've been a Vol had he fit the system. His knock represents USC's interests (they have an OOC rival in Clemson and schedule wise the permanent rivalries do nothing for them). He's also logically correct that the TSIO doesn't do anything for us right now (we hang onto it because of our fandom and the history - we know the series will turn but it's not like playing Bama helps UT right now).

He's also no worse than any other negavol or much of our fanbase (can't tell you how many jokes about UT not being able to be x high school I've heard from Tennessee fans in real life) - his favorite target is UT and I doubt that will change because he grew up a fan and truth be told still has a soft spot for us despite being 'the enemy.'

You can take the boy outta the hills but you can't take the hillbilly out of the boy. Personally, I find him funny and never mean-spirited with his jabs (he's always been as hard on his own teams).

Yes, 'tis a shame that Dickey was not hired one year earlier or that Spurrier did not graduate from high school one year later. We still ran the single wing in 1963, Spurrier's senior season, and the budding Steve Superior could see no place for himself in what was then an antiquated offense. Who knows what the history of Tennessee football would have been if Spurrier had donned the orange and white and later felt compelled to return to the halcyon hill of his alma mater to coach?

This is all he said !!!

Steve Spurrier on SEC permanent rivals: “Alabama and Tennessee like each other. I don’t know why Tennessee would keep liking them though.”

Is there anyone on here who has one shred of disagreement? No. They have stomped a mudhole in us every single year since CNS except one where we had a longshot at the end. Why on earth would anyone get mad at this? It's a seven game win streak. And not even remotely competitive at that.

Nothing to see here, but the usual media stirring of the pot for hits. Gosh. And of course it works as usual.

Actually, it isn't an accurate statement. Historically, there has been a lot of respect between the two programs because of their respective achievements and the fact that Neyland, Wade and, later, Bryant regarded the Third Saturday in October as the true measuring stick of their programs. I don't believe, however, that there has ever been much "liking" that has transpired between the Big Orange and the Crimson Tidy Bowl boys. For the most part, the Tennessee-Alabama rivalry has been clean but fiercely contested, one in which the proverbial Crimson or Orange "scalp" was a treasured war trophy for the victorious team.

"Certainly, the Vols have fallen on some hard times in recent years which has coincided with the renaissance of the Alabama program under Nick Saban, but I’m pretty sure Tennessee fans will be quick to remind Spurrier that the Vols knocked off his South Carolina Gamecocks 23-21 last year in Neyland Stadium in Butch Jones’ first season on Rocky Top.

Oh, and about the whole Citrus Bowl thing, South Carolina was in the Citrus Bowl last season."

Getting to play other west teams more often sounds like a fair deal to me.Not saying we should run from a fight but taking the path of least resistance is never a bad idea.We can worry about how a weak schedule affects us when we get to 10 and 0.Go Vols and HTTR!!

In all honesty I'm gonna miss the old fart when he is gone. SEC won't be the same without the OBC.

It will be the end of an era in more ways than one. I don't think we'll ever see a coach allowed to get away with jabs Spurrier does - not only because times have changed but also because Slive and SEC rules are against it. Spurrier is kind of grandfathered in and is such a colorful character that even if he weren't I think he'd be given a pass.

His arse is still raw from getting Butch-slapped by a first year HC...and a team that finished 5-7.

Should have been more like 8-4 though...we beat UGA without bogus intervention by the referees. Should have been a win against Vandy and UF, as well.

So, Spurrier is going to need some more Gold Bond (for his chaffed behind), as long as Butch is the HC.

Someone needs to publicly remind him that had he beaten UT last season, he would have played Auburn for the chance to play in the BCS Title game, but in his case, you can't spell Citrus without USC!

As annoying as he can be at times, the two years he was in the NFL, he was missed, his one lines are really witty at times!

I agree. Also, people tend to forget Fulmer and Spurrier took the UT-UF game and made it into a rivalry game. It wasn't just because both were winning either. Fulmer was the perfect straight man to Spurrier's barbs/wit. I remember the Strip starting the party on Thursday, fans gathering in throngs, and having anti-Spurrier events starting from then up until game time. He played the villain and he played it well and the funnest victories of that Era were when we beat him. Things haven't been the same since and not just because both teams are down right now.

The visor going down during the BCS Championship year: priceless. :)
