To be even handed, I, again, was disappointed.
The biggest story of the 90's for the league was expansion. And one of the reasons I tuned in tonight was to see how Arkansas and South Carolina were the schools that came to the league and how that all went down. Not one word.
And then from a purely Florida perspective, when Chris Doering gets more air time than Danny Wuerffel.....smh.
I love Jeri Spurrier's interview however. She speaks her mind about her husband of 50 something years. Very refreshing. Free Shoes University and you can't spell Citrus without U.T. were both mentioned. Wuerffel, James Bates and Pat Dooley had some pretty good Visor Boy imitations I thought.
Kramer and Spurrier put the SEC in the national spotlight and more or less killed the Big10 who are still struggling for relevancy league wide. Tough to do the 90's justice in the time allotted. SEC had 3 different national champions in the decade which were all covered. From a UT perspective, I was more disappointed in the 80's Hershel and Bo Show. The Vols are barely mentioned and that was Reggie White's star power. No Majors, no Sugar Vols, no Duncan Stewart.
