UT is a shell of what they once were. Want to stop the TSIO rivalry because of that bullshite reasoning?
Auburn fans like to beat their chest because they played Florida every season for years. I'm just pointing out that Auburn wasn't playing Spurrier's or Urban's Florida back then.

But when we finally had the opportunity (thanks to the "new and improved" SEC scheduling format), we did beat them. Spurrier and Urban left the field crying. Even in their Championship years they always had one loss...Auburn kicked them in their nuts. Loved those games!

Auburn played Florida every year that Spurrier was there, twice in 2000. Pre-Spurrier, Florida wasn't what they became under him, but they were still a good team despite never (officially) winning an SEC title. They had some monster teams in the mid-80s, a couple of really good ones in the '70s and the Spurrier years (as QB) in the '60s.

I'm pretty sure Auburn played Florida annually through the early 2000s... which would have encompassed the entire Spurrier era actually. And didn't Auburn have some big wins against Urban when he was in Gainsville? I thought they even beat one of his national championship teams if I remember correctly.
The Auburn-Florida rivalry always seemed like a good one to me. I would like to see it played annually again. The more "Big 6 vs. Big 6" matchups, the better for the league.
