And the reason spurrier hates us so much is the exact same reason you just mentiond for kirby. Becuase UGA kicked his arse repeatedly as a player.

In 1966 it had all come together for UF. As you may recall UF wasn't much to speak about until around the mid-80s, and then really didn't take off until the 90s nearly 100 years after they began playing football. So you can imagin the hype in 1966 as spurrier as a senior looked to really break the ceiling. He had a great year and would eventually go on to win the heisman but of course UF was thinking national title. UF was undefeated at 7-0 heading into jacksonville and had memories of 2 years prior on their mind. 1965 both teams were meh so UF's 4 point win wasn't much to write home about. But in 1964 UF was 5-1 and ranked in the top 10 heading into Jax to face an unranked UGA that had alrady lost twice and tied once. UGA would go on to pull off the upset.

So fast forward back to 1966. Spurrier revenge tour. This is the year UF is going to embarrass the shite out of UGA and get payback and make things right. There was just one problme though: Bill Stanfill.

"If I wasn't sacking Spurrier, I was knocking him down," said Stanfill. "He just didn't have time to throw.

"We kicked Spurrier's arse," Stanfill told the Athens Banner-Herald in 2004. "I still think I'm one of the reasons why he hates us so much. I was pounding his butt whether he had the ball or not all day long. They were undefeated."

"We had pigs, too," Stanfill told a black tie crowd at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York in 1998. "It was my job to go out there and catch a 35 to 45 pound male and drag him back to where my dad was waiting with a straight-edged razor blade. I'd put my knee on that pig's neck and hold his back legs apart and it would be just a-squeelin.' I mean, you just couldn't believe the squeelin.' My dad would take that razor and castrate him, then I'd put a little burnt motor oil over the incision and let him go. That pig would pop up and run away just a-squeelin' some more. Folks, that didn't really prepare me for football but it reminded me an awful lot of sacking Steve Spurrier."

And I'll leave you with this:

Spurrier's HC record against UGA: 16-7 (69.5%)
Kirby's HC records against UF: 5 (and counting) - 2 (71%)

Hmmmm
