I Did Not Know This Story About Mullen's Level of Dedication (Obsession?)

Coach the Day After an Appendectomy? Dan Mullen Did!

That's a crazy story!! Glad he's mellowed a bit since he's had kids...

We lost. I remember that night. I couldn't stay in my seat and walked around the stadium. Found out after game that Mullen was on pain killers (trust me you don't make best decisions).

Maybe that’s the night Foley fell in love with Champ.

People forget, we were also very thin at receiver for the game and there was discussion on whether or not to burn Deonte Thompson's redshirt.

Yeah, Deonte would have changed everything.

Was at that game myself. Didn't know what had happen to Mullens at the time. I do know, as we were walking out the west side of the stadium, Mullens came riding by in a golf cart and people were giving him hell for calling a crappy game. May have been a few things tossed in his direction.

Not what I'm saying, I'm pointing out we were missing a few receivers

I wasnt aware that was our first daztard game, but it all makes sense now.

 

[GatorJ]

Yep. I remember when that happened. Most people call in with the sniffles. This guys coaching a game in the heat after an appendectomy.

That game sucked, missed field goal, fumble deep in their territory, INT that set them up with a short field, any one of those wins the game if it goes the other way.
