On the podcast (which you can listen to below), the Head Ball Coach said he occasionally roots for FSU. Here's the exact quote:
"FSU plays fair," Spurrier said. "Jimbo Fisher and his guys, I have absolutely zero problem with them. I actually, maybe, pull for them occasionally."

One of Spurrier's best quotes came after the shoplifting scandal at FSU where some players just left a shop with some shoes (among other items) and never paid for them. "You know what FSU stands for, don't you? Free Shoes University."
And he took a subtle jab at them again when asked about how he's been able to coach for so long. "People ask, 'Why are you still coaching?' I forgot to get fired and I'm not going to cheat."
But to know that Spurrier actually roots for FSU might break the hearts of many Florida and Spurrier fans. This has to be some sort of trick, right?
