I would think he'll have to abandon that office for the time being. I would imagine that as pro-OSU as Herbstreit is that he doesn't have an office at the school. ________________________________ From: Charlie <ces1...@yahoo.com> To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Tue, February 1, 2011 8:15:15 AM Subject: RE: [gatortalk] Urban and ESPN I wonder if this new gig will affect him having an office in the football complex and being a "consultant" to UF football.
