MIAMI -- As Dan Mullen's spring speaking tour continues, the Florida coach is finding his groove and dishing out morsels that the Gator Nation continues to eat up.

Wednesday night at Marlins Park in Miami might have delivered his best yet.

Mullen shared some dirt on former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, even getting one of Tebow's former Florida teammates, safety Dorian Munroe, to confirm the story to help make his point.

"Where's Dorian? Dorian Munroe right here. I see Dorian in the back here, he played for us," Mullen told the crowd, pointing out Munroe.

"I remember playing, we were playing in the 2008 season, right? 2008 we're playing LSU, and to this day, we're on the bus, getting ready to get off the bus and the Gator Walk is, I mean, out of control. Right? The bus is rocking.

"Tebow gets up on the bus, drops an 'F' bomb in front of the team. He will deny it until he dies. But I'm telling you what, I think we won by 40-something that night. The game was over before it ever started. By the time we finished the Gator Walk, the game was over. They had no shot."

Munroe laughed and shook his head, confirming the story's authenticity.

Florida, of course, had lost one of the best college football games of the decade the year prior on the road in Baton Rouge, when the No. 9 Gators took on the No. 1 Tigers but fell 28-24 after blowing a late lead. Tebow made sure it wouldn't happen again after the prior year's heartbreak handed Florida its second loss of the season thanks to running back Jacob Hester's fourth-down heroics.

The following year, Florida jumped all over LSU from the get-go, as Percy Harvin took a tipped ball in for a touchdown in the first two minutes and the Gators laid it on thick in a 51-21 rout.

"The electricity, the energy that everybody brought, was anybody there that night?" Mullen asked the crowd Wednesday night. "The electricity you brought, the game was over before it started. That's what we're going to try to bring."

The first-year Florida coach knows the energy in the fanbase hasn't quite been there most of the last decade since he left for Mississippi State after that 2008 season.

He can feel it.

"I'm going to tell you what. You know what's the most amazing thing is, is the players said to me at the spring game -- it was a great atmosphere, I thank everybody for showing up and creating it -- our players came up to me and said 'That's the best Gator Walk we've ever had,'" Mullen said. "That's a problem. That was a spring game."

His goal is to bring back the days where the crowd is ro revved up hours before a game that even guys like Tebow get caught up in the moment and get psyched up well before kickoff.

The Gators have had some terrific moments in the Swamp over the past few years, with last-second wins and highlight reel plays. But Mullen wants it like that every single Saturday.

It's one of his biggest goals now that he's back as head coach.

"I know Scott and I are working hard to create not just an unbelievable, not in the game, but an unbelievable gameday environment," Mullen said. "Where I'm going to tell you what, on a Saturday in the fall, you have to be in Gainesville. Whether you walk in the stadium or not, you might not even have tickets, but you've got to be outside, you've got to be around the atmosphere.

"Spring game, we had food trucks lined up on University Avenue. We had a beer garden right outside by the Gator Walk. It was an atmosphere that you needed to be at and be a part of. We're going to work relentlessly to give you that atmosphere."
