George O'Leary is a man that lives on the edge. Clearly. So it should come as no real surprise that when Iliana Limon, a reporter for the Orlando Sentinel, tried to call into a conference call, she was greeted with a phone sex line introduction. Wait. That should be a surprise. Ah. Turns out the PR guy, whose job security is likely through the roof right now, handed out the wrong number to reporters.
When I dialed in, the voice on the other line said, "Hi sexy, you've reached the one-on-one fantasy line." I gasped, hung up and figured I must have dialed the wrong number. So, I checked the UCF news release and dialed again, but I got the same phone sex hotline complete with offers I can't really post on this blog.Rowwwwwr. I'm not sure whether my reaction would be "GOOD ONE, GUYS!" and then pull a Farva on someone, or whether I would just quietly hang up the phone and never speak of that again. Probably the latter.
It turns out Leigh Torbin, UCF's new director of athletic communications, accidentally listed one digit incorrectly when he released the teleconference information and sent the media on an amusing detour. Torbin said he feels terrible about the error and set up another teleconference with O'Leary at noon Wednesday. "Today's scheduled call was not able to occur due to my own technical mistakes for which I deeply apologize," Torbin wrote at the end of the latest news release announcing the Wednesday teleconference.
Or as Ryan Wilson pointed out, it could simply have been O'Leary breathing heavily on the other end of the line. And I can kind of picture him as a Paul-type anyway, so that kind of works.
