And Dan Mullen, of course:
Finebaum, appearing on WJOX 94.5 FM in Alabama, noted how quickly the tables have turned on Mullen this offseason when it pertains to Smart and the Georgia program.
“Losing recruits happens all the time, players get into trouble all the time but I think it’s a little bit of karma flying back at him,” Finebaum said. “I thought Kirby Smart won the day and maybe won the war by just shooing Dan Mullen away the other day like a fly on your sandwich at a Fourth of July picnic.”
… Finebaum went further in on the Florida program under Mullen and revealed that Mullen had been taking some further shots at Georgia when Finebaum went to visit the Florida program.
“He’s been running it for months, frankly, he’s been running it since he was born,” Finebaum joked during the interview. “I was in his office three and a half weeks ago, I heard him running his mouth about Georgia and it caught up to him and now all those people who have been sitting around going, ‘I wonder why he’s doing that?’ are turning on him.”
Hell, he may even be right about that. That’s a shame.

Nobody who reads Diwun Black’s Twitter farewell will have any question why he needs to transfer to a community college, but the community college that took him should be embarrassed.

Wow. Yeah, I guess even Florida football couldn’t find a way to make THAT work. I’ve never seen a notes app note with a red “SEE ME AFTER CLASS” at the top. Sheesh. I guess I know why the kid picked Florida, he’s been conditioned to expect a big “F” at the top of his papers.

It’s the best of both worlds as far as I’m concerned. Florida trash talk at 1990s Spurrier levels, re-injecting some real hatred into the rivalry, only without Florida having much to show for it this time around.
And Kirby’s “sorry, didn’t catch that, was too busy winning” response to it all is pitch-perfect.

Man, if you run your mouth so much that a guy like Finebaum says “frankly, he’s been running it since he was born,” you’ve really accomplished next level stuff.

I know it’s fun to pile on the Gators when things go badly, but first off, the kid hasn’t done anything to hurt anyone so taking pot shots at him isn’t really warranted.
Secondly, it looks like he dictated that note through Siri, which is bad at dictation at its best and pretty awful at its worst. I wouldn’t hold all those misspellings against him.

That ought to be engraved on a wall somewhere. Maybe in Gainesville.
