    I agree wholeheartedley. Even SCOFRO says year 3. I know you guys are on the outside....but you have to understand he's brought the culture back....1/2 the battles won. A 6-6 season wont bother us this year, because we have already seen the 180 change in attitude, conditioning, recruiting, and belief. This guy gets it.

    I would venture a guess that Spurrier's best teams ran the ball well.

    Yeah, in the 1997 Sugar Bowl, Florida ran it 43 times and threw 34,but Weurful also threw for 3 tds. The number of runs isn't always the whole story. What pisses me off is when we are running the ball well, 4, 5, 6 yds a carry and then we start throwing the ball. 3 incompletions and we're out. Or we March down the field with the run, we score and the next series on offense we throw incompletions on 1st and 2nd down, run for 5 yrs on 3rd and punt. :x

    Oh I'm right here with you KP. I'm just not as vested in Bama football, but I see the same things.

    There were a few circumstances where Spurrier would call runs in succession and the Gators would bull their way down the field and suddenly here comes a TD pass over the top.

    There were aslo times when right when you thought they were just steamrolling their way to a TD he calls pass and ints occurred or sacks or just plain 2nd and long.... killing drives.

    He was either a genius or a dunce.... depending on the outcome of course.
