You can watch a video of the halftime brawl below. It’s one of the craziest moments that we’ve seen all year.

Honestly, seeing as how Mullen is a millionaire and a very successful coach, $25,000 is a drop in the bucket for him.
That melee Saturday between the Gators and Tigers feels like it injected Florida with new life. That’s worth every single penny if it kickstarts a run.

The best part was 100% the moment Mullen walked back out of the tunnel to get the fans going. First, he gets into an altercation, leaves the field and then returns to fire up the crowd.
If that’s not electric, then I just don’t know what is. Oh, did I forget to mention when he showed up to the post-game press conference dressed as Darth Vader?
The dude was on a different level.

Never change, Mullen! I’m loving this new villain role.
