VIDEO: Steve Spurrier Ruthlessly Trolls Tennessee Fans With Gator Chomp on Field at Gator Bowl
Leave it to the Ol' Ball Coach to execute a properly timed troll at the expense of an old rival. The former Florida and South Carolina head coach was being honored on the field prior to kick off of today's Gator Bowl between Tennessee and Indiana, and given his history in the SEC, the Vols fans in attendance took it upon themselves too boo Spurrier -- and his response could not have been more perfect.

In retaliation to the jeers directed at him, Spurrier busted out the patented Gator Chomp long associated with his alma mater, the University of Florida, the team he coached to a national title 23 years ago.
Interestingly enough, this is not the first time that Spurrier has taunted Vols fans this season, as he dragged the team following an upset loss to Georgia State earlier in the season.

He was LUSTILY booed.
He responded with a Gator chomp at the Tennessee crowd.
Considering his uniquely brash personality, Spurrier's response to the boos directed at him was extremely characteristic of the Ball Coach, a man we have always known to be one of the most troll-tastic coaches in college football history.
