Steve Spurrier will have high school field named after him this weekend
There are a lot of different ways to get from Gainesville, Fla. to Johnson City, Tenn.
Steve Spurrier’s preferred route is up the Atlantic coast on Interstate-95, then hitting I-26 West in Charleston, S.C. I-26 takes you all the way to Johnson City. It’s about nine hours of solid driving.
It is a trip that Spurrier has made more times that he can possibly count. And it is the road that facilitated the journey that turned him from a boy to a man and to what will surely be a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach.
