The Story of Spurrier [name soon to be redacted] Wiley

Let me tell you a little bit about a boy named Spurrier Urban Wiley.

This name is not backwards, and this is very much real as far as we can tell. Spurrier Urban Wiley, the son of Jen Wiley, got his name from – you guessed it – Steve Spurrier and Urban Meyer. Jen and her husband, who are BIG Gator fans (as if you needed a billboard to lead you to such conclusions), named their child after Urban Meyer’s Florida team won the title in 2006 when their son was conceived.

And while Spurrier is fine name that is destined to stay (well, for now), Jen no longer wants her son’s middle name to be Urban after he was named the coach at Ohio State.

This courtesy of Bay News 9.

“I want to change his middle name,” she said.

Wiley actually has to travel to Ohio several times a year for work; so ironically, Spurrier Urban Wiley was born in Ohio.

The name doesn’t faze the now 4-year-old Spur. He doesn’t really understand his mom’s frustration, but he’s playing along.

“He wants to be Spur Willy Nilly Silly Bear Wiley,” said Wiley.

Wiley said anything is better than Urban.

It’s a name that reminds her of the letter the former Gator coach wrote her son shortly after his birth.

In it, Urban Meyer wrote, “I look forward to growing with you as a Gator over the years.”

Wiley’s husband isn’t on board with the change, and she said she won’t officially change her son’s name unless her husband agrees.

If he does, she’s thinking Tim after Tim Tebow, the great Gator quarterback who is becoming a star in the NFL.

And… SCENE.

The dream of having a classmate named Muschamp is alive and well, folks. Don’t give up yet.

  • Bodog’s SEC Odds: Lots of Gator Love

    Although other online books have had their conference odds up for quite sometime, Bodog – the most respected online book – posted theirs this week and they’ve certainly differentiated themselves with what they’ve come up with.

    Since SEC Media Days have taken over much of the college football universe, we’re starting here. And while there’s a lot to take in, you don’t need to look far down the list to see your first brow-raising listing.

    Bodog is high on the Florida Gators; in fact, they’re VERY high on the Gators who come in as the second overall favorite in the SEC.

    Also somewhat surprising is the fact that LSU is the 4th overall choice on the board. I, like most, probably would’ve listed them 2nd and 3rd at the very lowest. There’s plenty of value with South Carolina at 6/1 and tremendous value with Arkansas at 14/1.

    As for the rest of the odds, here they are with the divisions listed directly below.

    Odds to Win the SEC

    Alabama 9/5

    Florida 9/2

    Georgia 5/1

    LSU 5/1

    South Carolina 6/1

    Arkansas 14/1

    Tennessee 18/1

    Mississippi State 22/1

    Auburn 28/1

    Kentucky 66/1

    Mississippi 66/1

    Vanderbilt 150/1

    Odds to Win East Division

    Florida 7/4

    Georgia 9/5

    South Carolina 5/2

    Tennessee 7/1

    Kentucky 25/1

    Vanderbilt 75/1

    Odds to Win West Division

    Alabama 10/11

    LSU 5/2

    Arkansas 6/1

    Mississippi State 7/1

    Auburn 12/1

    Mississippi 22/1

  • Bet On Who Will Commit an NCAA Violation Next

    There are prop bets, and then there are prop bets over at Betus.com. Apparently, this online book has realized the value in these bets and have decided it’s time to keep up with the current state of college athletics.

    Now, Betus.com bettors can place wagers on which college football program they feel will commit a NCAA violation next. And that’s not all.

    You can also bet on which basketball team will be investigated next as well as which college football program will be investigated. Oh, and they’re also giving fans the chance to bet on how many Florida Gators will be arrested “before” 2011. We’re not sure exactly what “before” means, but we do know that they set the line at 2 and that there have already been more than that this year. Taking that one step further (yes they went there), you can also bet on whether or not they arrest will be a felony or misdemeanor. My goodness.

    Getting back on track, if there is such a thing in a post like this, here are the teams they have included in their NCAA violation odds. Southern Cal tops the charts, although Ohio State is hot on their tail. You’ll also notice there’s no Auburn on this list.

    Odds on which school will commit an NCAA violation next?

    Southern California 8/1

    Ohio State 9/1

    Florida 10/1

    Ole Miss 10/1

    Florida State 12/1

    Michigan State 12/1

    Alabama 13/1

    Michigan 13/1

    Georgia 14/1

    Iowa 14/1

    Georgia Tech 14/1

    Oklahoma 15/1

    Virginia Tech 15/1

    Mississippi State 15/1

    Cincinnati 15/1

    Texas A&M 15/1

    Boston College 16/1

    Oklahoma State 17/1

    Texas 18/1

    Texas Tech 18/1

    Missouri 18/1

    TCU 20/1

    UCLA 20/1

    California 20/1
