When Florida coach Billy Napier started looking for someone to motivate his team before facing two-time defending national champion and top-ranked Georgia, he turned to the Head Ball Coach.
– Looking for someone to motivate his team before facing two-time defending national champion and top-ranked Georgia in one of the Southeastern Conference’s most heated rivalries, Florida’s Billy Napier turned to a guy who knows a thing or two about beating the Bulldogs:Steve Spurrier, who went 11-1 in “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” as Florida’s coach from 1990-2001, spoke to the Gators this week before they attempt to become the first team in nearly two years to knock off Georgia.
Spurrier has cared deeply about beating Georgia since his college days. He lost to the Bulldogs twice — as a sophomore in 1964 and as a senior and eventual Heisman Trophy winner in 1966 — in three years with the Gators. He made the Cocktail Priority a priority when he returned to Gainesville as coach in 1990.
Spurrier probably didn’t have to tell anyone wearing orange and blue that while Georgia’s record is impeccable, the Bulldogs have looked vulnerable at times this season. They trailed South Carolina, Auburn and Vanderbilt — teams with a combined 1-12 record in league play — by at least a touchdown before rallying.
