I was not aware that there was bad blood between Dan Mullen and Missouri head coach Ed Drinkwitz. But I think that Drinkwitz got the last laugh per this nugget from The Athletic:
Florida coach Dan Mullen isn’t just losing games, he’s apparently making enemies along the way. A year ago after routing Missouri on Halloween night, Florida’s coach showed up for his postgame news conference in a Darth Vader costume. Clearly Mizzou coach Eli Drinkwitz did not forget. After topping the Gators 24-23 in overtime, Drinkwitz ended his press conference by pulling a hoodie over his head, grabbing a planted fake lightsaber and declaring, “May the force be with you.” An audible gasp can be heard from the audience.
