Mike Price got fired after like 6 months on the job after getting drunk and paying for an actual busted arse Tuesday afternoon stripper on his university credit card. He was proto-Freeze.
Leading to one of the greatest acronym signs ever seen in the SEC.

Spurrier proved that in classic fashion after beating Arkansas 52-7 on Oct. 12 this past season. Instead of overt smack talk, the Ol' Ball Coach hit Bret Bielema's team with a biting bit of facetiousness.

"I do feel badly for Arkansas," Spurrier said, according to Josh Kendall of The State newspaper in Columbia. "That’s no fun getting your butt beat at home, homecoming and all that."



quote:

"(This) will be the 14th time I've coached in Neyland Stadium," Spurrier said, according to Josh Kendall of The State. "I've coached there more than some of their head coaches."



quote:

"Most of our guys have never been to Death Valley. (LSU’s stadium) is the Death Valley, isn’t it? Or is there another one? There’s two of them. That’s right. There’s two Death Valleys."



quote:

He once famously called him "Ray Goof," and Goff once broke custom by saying, per Jack Hairston of NOLA.com, that he'd "like to run into (Spurrier) some night down a dark alley."

(Note: In this way, Goff comes off like the meathead Biff and Spurrier like the crafty Marty McFly. This, I suppose, is why most neutral parties prefer rooting for the bully to the victim in this case.)

Of all the heckles from Spurrier to Goff, however, there is one that no doubt reigns supreme. When asked in 1995 if he thought Florida could beat Georgia for a seventh straight year, Spurrier said, according to Dan Wetzel at Yahoo! Sports:

"Is Ray Goff still coaching there?"

Until the late 1990s (?), Florida used to let fans leave at halftime and go over to the bar, hammer shots, then come back into the Swamp.

Can we submit our own?

A guy blew himself up near the stadium during the '05 K-State game. I was at the game and thought it was thunder.

Don't forget:

An unedited picture made its way around that appeared to be then-Florida Coach Jim McElwain naked and humping a shark.

A severely injury depleted Florida team waited until the last second to postpone its home game with LSU with Hurricane Matthew bearing down on the state in order to have the game played on a later weekend.

3 Tennessee players and one of their girlfriends robbed a liquor store and used a Prius as a getaway car.

Auburn is the only program to ever complete the Switzer Slam (Fulmer Cup, national championship, Heisman winner) in the same calendar year, 2011.

LSU/Auburn is unequivocally the wildest rivalry in the SEC

- 1988 : Unranked LSU beats #4 Auburn in Death Valley 7-6 by scoring a TD in the closing minutes. The stadium eruption registered as an earthquake on the LSU Geoscience Department's seismograph.

- 1994 : Auburn was sitting on a 14 game win streak as 1-1 LSU came to town. LSU surprisingly led 23-9 heading to the 4th quarter. LSU QB Jamie Howard then threw 5 interceptions in the 4th quarter - 3 of which were returned for touchdowns - and Auburn won 30-26. Auburn had 1 first down in the entire 2nd half and scored 27 points.

- 1996 : The aforementioned "Barn in Burning" - the old Auburn Sports Arena (called the Barn), burned to the group during the game.

- 1999 : Auburn beat LSU in Tiger Stadium and smoked cigars on the field and specifically at midfield after the game. It was Auburn's last win in Baton Rouge.

- 2004 : Auburn wins 10-9 after scoring a TD with 2 minutes left to tie the game. The first extra point was missed due to the a bad snap, but LSU was called for a personal foul and Auburn drained the second one to win 10-9 on their way to a 13-0 season.

- 2005 : John Vaughn missed 5 field goals, including one to tie it in overtime, and LSU beat Auburn 20-17 in Baton Rouge.

- 2006 : Auburn stops LSU at the 5 yard line on the last play of the game to win 7-3.

- 2007 : LSU trails 24-23 with under 20 seconds to play in field goal range. Les Miles inexplicably throws for the end zone and they catch it for a game winning TD with time ticking under 5 seconds.

- 2016 : LSU appears to win on the last play of the game, but per review it is ruled that time had expired before LSU got the play off and Auburn won 18-13. Les Miles was fired after the game, and in all likelihood Gus Malzahn would have been fired had LSU won the game.

- 2017/2018 : 2 games where through 3 quarters Auburn appeared to have the game completely in control (lead 23-14 in 2017 and 21-13 in 2018) only to see LSU rise from the dead and come back and win games in which they were heavy underdogs.

There's also Alabama Fan Day, or as it's colloquially known, the Running of the Gumps. An annual event where hundreds of rednecks literally race each other across BDS to get Saban to sign a hat.

Without a doubt, the hardest hitting game every year on the schedule is Auburn, especially when they come to Baton Rouge. Tuberville talked about it all the time.
