I would argue that Steve Spurrier launched UF into the age athletic superiority 
and of resultant SEC and National Championships.  First, he made the football 
program exciting, innovative and highly successful.  It was THE game to watch 
every weekend and it drew enormous fan support nationwide.  Second, he 
supported 
every sports team on campus with his attendance and money flowing out of his 
football program.

We would not now be known as 'title-town' had it not been for Spurrier.  He is 
the greatest Gator of all time.

That's what is so great about him. He was a student at Florida. He knows first 
hand who UF fans/almuni hate. 
He got us to within striking distance of evening the record with them. 
Even now, all they have is a quickly shrinking lead in the overall record. We 
own them.  We can thank old Steve for that.
