It was Steve Spurrier's world at the second day of the SEC's six-week long media days. Unsurprisingly, the ol' Ball Coach is still out here stuntin':
Spurrier: "big donors (in college) are similar to an owner of an NFL team. Best part they dont tell you what to do."

Spurrier thought he'd coach in NFL for 5/6 years and then retire to beach. "That was a bad plan, it really was."

Spurrier: "I read in the paper that http://t.co/DBeXe2vdWD had us No. 2 in recruiting. Of course Alabama was No. 1."

Spurrier says A&M has recruited very well, been in top 10 recruiting last three years, calls Sumlin "a good negotiator" with new $5M salary.

Steve Spurrier: "As soon as I see Stephen (Garcia) I'm going to tell him it looks like he joined Duck Dynasty instead of the media."

Spurrier asked if winning at South Carolina is harder. "Well they had never won at Florida until I got there." Coach Boom is sad.

"I always thought Davy Crockett was the here of the Alamo. His and his 33 guys from Tennessee ... that got killed and so forth."

That last one lead to this, which is one of the finest pieces of art I've stumbled across in my humble 27 years on Earth, and it will now be the header image on any Spurrier-related story I run until the end of time.
