As the 1996 Gators made their run for the school’s first national championship, some of the team’s standout players were developing a little bit of star power.
Danny Wuerffel, who would win the Heisman Trophy, was a favorite of autograph seekers who waited outside Florida games and practices.
Wuerffel recently caught up with his former teammate, James Bates, for Bates’ You Tube series “Head Ball Coach Stories.”
The two discussed Spurrier’s over-the-top warning about why his players shouldn’t sign autographs, with a hilarious Head Ball Coach impression from Bates:
Andrew writes about sports to fund his love of live music and collection of concert posters. He strongly endorses the Hall of Fame campaigns of Fred Taylor and Andruw Jones.
