Jamal Lewis with a tip of the hat to Eric Berry, who was one of the best defensive backs in the country as a true freshman.

I know they didn’t have a ton of leverage, but it seems like a rather weak haul in return for the best pitcher in the sport.

Is there anything new/different than what was on the Prime documentary?

I personally liked the Prime one better. That said, the body cam footage used in the Netflix doc really added something that the Prime one was missing.

The 2001 SEC title game was much worse than the ‘22 South Carolina game. There’s probably about 5-6 more games I’d put ahead of ‘22 South Carolina.

Did that with Joey Aguilar and it didn’t work. Probably the only court case that the NCAA had won in the last five years.

Take the QB's away and Florida was still a lot better.

The difference between the two teams was the head coaches. Teams are a reflection of their head coach, and Fulmer coached tight against Spurrier, especially in the mid-90’s. Tennessee was every bit as talented as Florida during the Peyton Manning years. In fact, Tennessee had six more players drafted than Florida during that span.

Might be wrong but Jackie Sherrill coached Pitts Dan Marino and Tony Dorsett teams. Think he has one maybe two titles

Johnny Majors won the title with Pitt in ‘76. Jackie Sherrill second in two occasions, but never won a title.

Like the ‘98 Arky game when the officials screwed Tennessee late in the fourth quarter? Arkansas punter Chris Akin kicked the ball out of the end zone from the field of play. UT was supposed to get the ball around the 10-yard line, not a safety (the SEC office admitted it the next day). A TD there negates the whole Stoerner fumble fiasco.

After winning that game when they shouldn’t have, Tennessee got extremely lucky that FSU’s starting QB was out for the natty

Yeah, Chris Weinke and is 50% completion rate in 1998. He was an absolute monster!!!! Oh by the way, if FSU gets Chris Weinke back, does Tennessee get Jamal Lewis back? I think missing one of the top 3-4 running backs in the country for 75% of the year probably hurt Tennessee’s offense a bit.

$17 million a year for a little patch on the uniform is a pretty sweet deal.

That may be the worst NFL uniform I’ve ever seen.

If he’d kicked an extra point in ‘83, he would have won one then. To his credit, he went for two.

QB talent. If we're picking between danny wuerfel and rex grossman as your best QBs, you've left something to desire.

Gino Toretta, Shawn Jones, Jay Barker, Brian Griese, Tee Martin, Josh Heupel, Chris Weinke, and Ken Dorsey all won national titles during Spurrier’s tenure at UF. I don’t think QB talent was the issue.

Auburn was a thorn in his side in 93-94. Also had a tendency to lose a game every other year or so that kind of made you scratch your head. Plus, as was mentioned earlier, winning a title in the pre-BCS era was difficult.

His ‘98 was great as well, just lost games to both of the teams who played for the title that year.

Didn’t he do an interview a week or so ago where he used the phrase “trust the process”? Wasn’t that a pretty clear giveaway as to where he was headed?
