Need a reason to care about the AAF?

How's this?

Steve Spurrier is making his return to Tennessee.

The Memphis Express needled the former Florida and South Carolina coach with a tweet on Tuesday.

The Express (2-5) will host Spurrier's Orlando Apollos (6-1) on Saturday (2 p.m. ET) at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium.

"Steve Spurrier is coming back to Tennessee," read the tweet from the team's official account. "The last time a team coached by Spurrier was in the Volunteer State, @Vol_Football upset his squad 23-21!"

That's a reference to Tennessee beating South Carolina in Knoxville on Oct. 19, 2013, during Butch Jones' first season with the Vols. The Gamecocks were ranked ninth nationally, and that was one of only two losses that season.

Tennessee beat South Carolina 45-42 in overtime on the road the following season. Spurrier resigned amid the 2015 season before the Gamecocks had played UT.

Of course, pointing out Spurrier's more recent shortcomings glosses over his overall success against the Vols. Spurrier had a 13-8 career record against UT. That included a 8-4 mark as Florida's coach.

Spurrier poked at the Vols after an AAF game earlier this season. After a road win at San Antonio, Spurrier compared the crowd of 29,176 to what he experienced in road games at Neyland Stadium.

"I think it was just as loud as Rocky Top, to tell you the truth," Spurrier said in an interview with CBS Sports Network. "And I know The Swamp is maybe a little bit louder than here, but their fans were into it. They really were."

This will be the second matchup between Orlando and Memphis. The Apollos won 23-17 at home on Feb. 23.
