I watched as SOS left the field and it was a bit emotional to see this. I was torn between watching his exit and the Gators celebrating in the North East corner.
Finally, as Spurrier approached the exit tunnel, he gave into his emotions ... for the first time all afternoon. He gave a thumbs-up to the USC band and to the cheering Gamecock fans before pointing to the Florida crowd as if to say, "You were great, too."
I was sitting in that corner of the endzone and all of the people around me, students mostly, were booing him and shouting whatevers.
Darren and I were in the section right next to the USC band and their fans.
The booers were students who were never there when Spurrier was our coach. The people he pointed to were in the south endzone, who were mostly season ticket holders and were clapping for him as he walked off.
(I did not boo, but I did give him the Gator Chomp as politely as I could)
We sit in that corner too, and you couldn't hear the boos, but a lot of the people in the south endzone ,including us, were clapping at him. I imagine he had a lot of mixed emotions that day.
