Spurrier's most painful loss at UF? Yep, 34-32 in 2001

[apkvol]

In lieu of the Falcons' loss in the Super Bowl, an interesting article where coaches talk about their most painful loss. Spurrier admits that the 2001 loss to the Vols is his toughest loss.

My family and i were at that game, sitting among the evil and vile Gators. It was my daughter's sixth birthday and we all had a great time and even got out alive!

After Atlanta Falcons' collapse, players, coaches recall their most difficult losses - Orlando Sentinel

College Football is not the same without the 'Ol Ball Coach!

 

[alaVOL]

If we can just get Ye Ole Coach comments, I'm good.

Spurrier admits that the 2001 loss to the Vols is his toughest loss.

And one of my sweetest wins as a Vol fan.

It was eerily quiet walking out of the stadium that weekend. I loved it!

Well, we were screaming pretty loudly!

That 2014 loss as chickens coach hurt also. Probably the worst loss at Columbia

Travis Stephens #34 & the VOLS skinned the gators, sending Stevie to a miserable NFL career. Love it! :good!:

Just think if we threw the ball in the 60's how history would be different with the old ball coach.hmy:

That lost to Tennessee by Spurrier is even sweeter because it was the last game he coached at home as head coach at Florida

That win is one of my most cherished Vol memories. The Ice Man was Ice Cold. 34 ran like a man possessed, and Big John and Big Al had Grossman running for his life.

I still can't believe we **** the bed as bad as we did the next week. We should have playing Miami for the Roses.

The year before...

JABAR GAFFNEY DID NOT CATCH THAT BALL!!

 

[Panthro]

I was at that game. Greatest sports road trip of my life!

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Mine would be a Toss up between the dooley Kentucky loss and the first Penn St loss around 1993. I guess you add about 6-10 Florida losses but I try to block that out.

Then Fulmer just had to throw it all out the window the next week.

You are right.

 

[turdherder11]

Bet CPF's worst loss was that year too. Uga loss

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

The HBC informed us you cant spell Citrus without the UT.

Considering how he left USCe during the season, you cant spell qUiT without the UT either.

 

[livefaith]

Our worst was 1 short week later.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Bet CPF's worst loss was that year too. Uga loss

I would go with LSU on that one.

 

[feathersax]

I would go with LSU on that one.

Those wretched ORANGE roses being sold in the Georgia Dome cursed our Vols. :no:

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

That WIN over UF in their nasty swamp was a classic.

I was certain we were going to the National Championship game that year and I was the happiest man on the Earth.

Then the pick 6 by LSU just totally crushed my heart and I'll never get over that loss, never.

I hate LSU so much for that.

VFL...GBO!!!

Wrong game. The pick 6 was in the '07 game.

One of my biggest disappointments as a Vol fan. Horrible game. That was a classic Fulmer choke.
