The infamous library fire game at AU when the Gators I believe were ranked # 1 in 2001, Spurrier's last year as HC...AU was a decided underdog and game was on ESPN at night....It was very very windy that night..steady winds of 30mph with gust up to 45 or 50 mph. AU brought their defense and we were without RB Ernest Graham who was injured and Rex Grossman kept firing long downfield ducks into the wind and the AU defense looked like punt returners catching those picks. Spurrier refused to stop throwing long and it cost us. On TV you could see the fire engulfing the library and Spurrier later quipped that they lost three books and two of them hadnt even been colored in yet


That was against LSU

The 2001 game was in like a tornado. I watched the game at this spot called Jillian's in Nashville. Great game
