The offseason rubber-chicken circuit is in full-swing, and Urban Meyer got a nice little dig in at the Tennessee program recently at a stop in Daytona Beach.

He noted that the Gators overcame some issues — not the least of which were injuries to key players and getting acclimated to a new coaching staff and a new system. He also noted that one Florida rival was not as fortunate.

“The school up in Knoxville (Tenn.) folded when they went through some hard times,” Meyer said.

Of course that’s true, but it’s not what we’re used to hearing from any coach not wearing a visor. No comment yet from Spurrier on Meyer’s origami last year in Columbia.
