Egos galore--Meyer vs. Spurrier

Maybe Urban Meyer should wear a visor Saturday and play golf until kickoff of the Florida-South Carolina game. Why?

He might as well go for the full Spurrier.

Twice in two days Meyer--possibly the most arrogant coach in the NCAA since Rich-Rod has been humbled at Michigan--has referred to himself as "the head football coach." According to The Miami Herald, Meyer did it on Sunday during a teleconference and he did it again on Monday during a press conference.

Let the head games begin. We all know that Steve Spurrier calls himself the "Head Ball Coach," something he started as the Florida Gators czar in the 1990s.

There's no question Meyer is taking shots at Spurrier. It's probably an attempt to fire up his own team, who hasn't played well against Spurrier's South Carolina teams. What Meyer needs to remember is Spurrier built the Florida dynasty that he was handed when Ron Zook couldn't manage it.

Show Steve some respect.
