    Life has been been very busy since we finally got home but it seems to be calming down a bit.

    There's an article about my favorite coach of all time. Guess who? :)

    Spurrier was a great coach, and even better quote machine for the media.

    Fans of the opposing teams didn't like him that's for sure, esp Tenn fans. I was one of those that he rubbed the wrong way at times, but I eventually got over that and appreciated him for what he was ..a great coach who didn't bs you, told it like it was.

    I'm not sure why he's throwing in with that new Pro League though to tell you the truth.

    Good memories Bill reminds me of Woody Hayes in many ways. Woody was not as sharp with the media as Steve, but coach Spurrier was always good with the media :lol:
