GAINESVILLE — GAINESVILLE — Steve Spurrier stashed six decades worth of memorabilia in closets and cabinets, scattered between his office, his home and his nearby beach house. Jerseys and cleats. Helmets and visors. Trophies and trinkets. Rings and pictures. Spurrier’s collection was as massive as it was impressive.
He stored another assortment of keepsakes in his head: “ball plays,” some of them as famous as his notable one-liners.
He has gathered all those treasures – even the plays he jotted down from memory – and proudly put them on display at Spurrier’s Gridiron Grille. The one-of-a-kind restaurant opened last week in Gainesville and doubles as the Head Ball Coach’s personal museum.
