    Not cocky - I would classify Steve as the most competitive person I know. He would want to bet money on whose thumb would catch us a ride down Univ Ave to church on Sundays in ‘63.

    Absolutely. The offense, while not great, was still enough to win games. We would've been a 9+ win team if we had even just an ok defense ranked in the 40s-50s.

    Until 2017, our defenses were perennial top 20.

    Cool. And thanks. I got a little riled up because no matter what Lane Kiffen makes of his career down the road, he started out as a total douchebag. Steve Spurrier was and is as far from a douche as a person can get. He is the Anti-douche. That right there invalidates any comparisons, past or present.

    Lane may be a little less of a douche today than he used to be, but I think there will always be a little bit of douche in his DNA.

    The age question really did go only to perspective, and I won’t repeat my reasoning here other than to say it was never intended to be taken as an insult. Go Gators

    EDIT: 1 douchebag, 3 douches, and 1 anti-douche in the same post. I think I’m starting to lose it.

    Absolutely not. Unless they like admitting they got their asses repeatedly kicked by a douche.

    Arrogant and cocky sure. They hated him. But nobody ever thought Steve Spurrier was a douche

    Hopefully all those new dbs help us cover better. The return of devin Moore will be significant. He was missed.

    I LOVED the days when those whiney announcers would complain about SOS scoring points relentlessly:

    SOS: The job of our offense is to score points. It's up to the opposition to stop us.

    All the while Bobby Bowden was running up 70+ on Div 2 outfits and the same people were talking about what a classy southern gentleman he was.
