You don’t want to make Will Muschamp angry.  You won’t like him when he’s angry.

That was the lesson that reporters received Saturday night when Muschamp berated them for more than 2 minutes.

"“You guys can write whatever you want to say about me. You can say I’m a bad football coach. You can say I’m a bad dad, I’m a bad husband, I’m a bad person. You really can say anything you want to say; that’s your opinion. You can talk about our offense, our defense, our special teams. You can talk about our coaching staff. You can talk about our administration. That’s your opinion, and you’re entitled to that, and that’s fair.“But when you take a shot at a kid, and it’s inaccurate and it’s written inaccurately, I’ve got a problem.”"

Muschamp was angry at a handful of journalists for reporting that freshman defensive lineman   Jay-Nard Bostwick was suspended for the game today.  Bostwick was incorrectly included with the 5 other players that were actually suspended for the Gators on the afternoon.

While Bostwick apparently was not suspended, he dressed but did not see game action.

Later in the rant, Muschamp tried to identify the source of the rumor and asked the Reporters to identify it:

"“Who was your source?” Muschamp said. “Church mice in here. If you want to write something, stand up and stand behind it. That’s what I’m going to tell you. You took a shot at a kid and a family that’s done nothing wrong, and it’s really bad. And I’m going to meet with Mr. Foley to see if y’all will even be allowed to come back in here again. I’ll be honest with you, it was a low blow for me. Our opening ball game at the University of Florida, and I’m dealing with this — bad journalism. Sources said.”"

If this is the way Muschamp is going to act after a win this year, I can only imagine how he will act after a loss.
