Oddly enough, I do too. The UT vs. UF game was soooo much better back then (and I don't mean because we've sucked for the last few seasons). Everything from the needling to the whole two native sons that chose different paths -- one who went and played at UF the other at UT -- to Spurrier's being a former QB wearing his heart on his sleeve in those games (even more than he does now) versus Fulmer's former O-linemen are dead serious personality made it all so much more epic.
Fulmer and Spurrier couldn't have made better characters to establish a brand new rivalry if Hollywood had written them. It was pure drama coupled with some amazing games (not to mention game weeks). Sadly, I think the rivalry is dying off without them ever so slowly (they were the glue) and returning to just another heated game between 2 SEC teams.
Ah well... can't bring either one back so just hope for another great pairing like that to emerge.
