I wasn't able to post this last week, swamped with work. Yes, work comes before Gatorchatter. BLASPHEMY!!!
In 2007, I ran into Dan Mullen when the Gators were preparing for the Citrus Bowl and they were holding their closed practices at Disney's Wide World of Sports. At the time I was a "Cast Member" in the Sports dept. and knew the guy who had their practice schedule, so I wandered over there.
As I was walking near the practice fields, I ran into Dan and I asked him how things were going (I had my Disney name tag on). He was all smiles, very happy go lucky and we struck up a conversation for about 15 minutes. He asked me more questions about me than I asked him. I came away very impressed that "he gets it" that he was a cool dude. I had heard the rumors that he grated people the wrong way, but I can only attest to my one encounter with the new HBC that he was genuine.
