the ol' ball coach vs the new ball coach

I still find it strange rooting against the "ol' ball coach" Steve Spurrier after so many years of cheering for him at Florida. He won the Heisman Trophy as quarterback of the Gators back in the 1960's. After playing in the NFL for a few years, he eventually made his way back to Florida to coach the Gators in the 1990's. Since then, he left Florida to coach in the NFL and is now back coaching college ball. And I still find myself cheering him on. But not this week! The Gators travel to South Carolina to play tonight at 7:45 pm.

Espn.com reviews the game:

Meyer will always have Spurrier's Florida legacy to deal with, but the two meetings so far between the Gators and their old coach have had championship implications.
