Florida, UCF both right on own terms in two-for-one spat

In comments on Friday, Dan Mullen expressed support for doing a two-for-one series with UCF. He seemingly broke news too in saying that Scott Stricklin had “brought it up” as a possibility, something that’s more formal than a coach just talking at a presser.

Mullen, never one to be all that diplomatic, was a little condescending in his support of the idea. He compared it to Mississippi State doing two-for-ones with “schools from smaller conferences” and spoke of it being “a great opportunity for them” to have an SEC team play at their place. I don’t think he was trying to be mean, but it did emphasize the difference in status between the two programs in a way that bothered UCF partisans.
