    Watching the Spurrier and Tebow commercial and it brings this up again.

    Who is the most famous GATOR TO GATOR FANS
    As much as I love Tebow it has to be Spurrier to me as the Heisman winning player, SEC Championships, and Nation Champion coach.

    My top 3

    Spurrier
    Tebow
    Danny

    I don't think we even have Danny or Tebow without SOS. He was so foundational for what we had 1990-2015

    Based on the thread title I was going to say Jessie Palmer because of all his TV time.

    But most famous to Gator Fans...

    Newer fans, probably Tebow.

    Older Fans most likely Spurrier.
