Friday Forum: Does what Dan Mullen says on his speaking tour matter?

Florida Gators head coach Dan Mullen has been on his post-Junior Day, pre-spring tour of the Sunshine State this week. He’s spoken in front of what seem like robust crowds, with the goal of drumming up enthusiasm for the Gators in Gator Nation.

He’s been quipping about the cost of tickets to Florida’s spring game, talking up the “arm talent” (and starting potential) of Feleipe Franks, describing a Gainesville gameday as either heaven or hell on Earth, predicting black jerseys while offering a shrugging defense of the monstrous green ones, and, uh, engaging in some hyperbole.
