Here are a few of Spurrier’s other remarks:
On the influx of top recruits going to SEC West schools:
“When you’re watching that TV today, you’re saying, man, I’m glad I’m in the Eastern side (of the SEC) instead of in the Western side.”
On how much he worries about recruiting rankings:
“Back in 2008, I think Florida had the No. 1 class, and two years later that No. 1 class drove Urban Meyer to retirement.”
On how he spent Signing Day:
“Well, I have my usual workout at about 10:30 to 11:30, quarter to 12:00, something like that. Then came back and checked on the faxes. You’re not going to see me doing a whole bunch of rah‑rah’ing on signing day. We’d rather make our noise out here in Williams‑Brice on game day.”
