As they say, turnabout is fair play.
Missouri football coach Eli Drinkwitz enjoyed a form of payback by taking a big dig at Florida coach Dan Mullen after his Tigers defeated the Gators, 24-23 in overtime, in an SEC game on Saturday.
Drinkwitz pulled his hoodie atop his head, pulled out a toy lightsaber that had apparently been strategically placed behind the lectern ahead of time, and told the media, “May the force be with you.”
