I was in a work meeting yesterday for about two hours. It was a small meeting, only 5 of us, as we discussed some things regarding IT, new servers and data security. One of the participants is a guy from the former Yugoslavia. The other three are Floridians who happen to be UF alums. Good guys, actually. As the meeting wound down, I had one more talking point before we adjourned. “Gentlemen, I’ve got to get going. But before we leave, just one more piece of business. Go Dawgs!” With a slight wink.
Silence. The stink eye. Muscle sinews showing through clenched jaws.
