    Thanks for posting. Never knew about Air Ball. And, did you hear that Billy? Steve might have an interest in one of those analyst type jobs.

    Losses to 2 F$U NC teams, Auburn 94 who was undefeated and on probation year prior, Bama 99 who went on to win SEC, and 2001 UT (re-scheduled after 9/11).

    Truly a remarkable stat.

    Had dinner with SOS, Dicky V and Pat Kennedy back in the 90s in Durham. Fun nite. Tim Brando was going to join us but he was so drunk, SOS had him walked up to his room.

    That is simply amazing. And four of those were absolutely nail biters. The worst loss was by 12 points against arguably FSU's best team ever. That was the only home loss Spurrier had by more than a touchdown. In 12 years!

    Season ticket holder back then. Great times! Among those 5 home losses were some great wins and some epic beatdowns administered by the Gators.
