With a knee-knocker, Okie State at Fla. Atlantic. Can someone explain Okie State's dismal opening weekend performance to me?
Here's a little bulletin board material Stevie Superior gave to UGA fans this week:
The Steve Spurrier ''Old Grudge'' tour begins in earnest Saturday when South Carolina visits Georgia, where his last visit to Athens left the Bulldogs foaming at the mouth.
That would be Florida's 52-17 romp in 1995, part of a two-year stretch when the UF-Georgia series moved back to campus as Jacksonville's Gator Bowl was remade into Alltel Stadium.
Before that game, Spurrier got word that no opponent had ever scored 50 points at Sanford Stadium. So he had Eric Kresser fire an 8-yard TD pass to Travis McGriff with 70 seconds left.
Asked about it this week, Spurrier quipped that Dawg fans ``didn't seem to be mad about it. They only had about 5,000 left in the stadium.''
Georgia always did hold a special place in Spurrier's heart, going back to a 1-2 mark during his playing days. That included a 27-10 loss in his 1966 Heisman year, ending UF's unbeaten bid.
Spurrier also let drop that Dawgs coach Mark Richt, formerly FSU's offensive coordinator, sought his opinion five years ago about openings at Virginia and UGa.
Spurrier's response? ``Well, that Virginia job is a great one. You ought to go after that.''
