My friend, the athletic director had Florida, wasn’t even a full year into the job when I needed to pick his brain. So we planned lunch, I picked him up just outside his office at Florida Field and we headed to the Bennigan’s at 34th and Archer in Gainesville.
I trusted Jeremy Foley’s judgment even back then.
I was a 34-year-old sportswriter contemplating a career move into sports radio. I was pretty sure I wanted to do it; I liked where the young industry was going, I believed it better fit my skill set, my personality. I had done it as a part-time job, while working fulltime as a sports writer, for five years.
