You know, I honestly think Spurrier gets far too much credit for being a great nemesis of the Dawgs than what he truely deserves. When he was at Florida, he never coached against Georgia while Georgia was good. The only two teams in the 90s that we fielded that were on par with normal Georgia standards, we went 1-1 against him (the Ziere/Hurst team that beat Ohio State, and the Donnan team that only lost 2 games). He ran the 3rd best program of the 90s (behind FSU and Nebraska) and the greatest SEC dynasty since Georgia in the early 80s, at a time when the Dawgs were recovering from the Jan Kemp scandle and were doing good if they could finish the season with fewer than 5 losses. We sucked in the 90s. Dominating us during the Goff/Donnan eras doesn't get you super arch-villian of all time status, in my book.
I actually think Spurrier is a much bigger thorn in our side now at South Carolina than he ever was at Florida. Now, when he beats us, it usually costs us an opportunity to play for the nc/sec championship. Much more has been at stake with Georgia-South Carolina in the 2000s than with Georgia-Florida in the 90s.
