...Rhode Island. One of the announcers said it during the game, and I just read it in a C-L article from last week.<div>

Unless I'm sadly mistaken, he was born in Pennsylvania, raised in New Hampshire, and went to school and played football in Pennsylvania. The school is Ursinus, not far from Philadelphia. He has no real connection to Penn State, except that I've heard that his father went to school there, and that it's pretty much the big football school in that part of the country. I don't know if the allegiance extends into New England, but it probably does since there are no real football powers there.<div>
</div><div>The announcers on the game Saturday night also made another mistake. They said AD Scott Stricklin hired Mullen from Florida; we all know it was Greg Byrne, AD at the time and now at Arizona. Otherwise, I thought the announcers did a very good job with the game; they just didn't research their facts well. It's a little less excusable for the Clarion Ledger to get things wrong.</div>

his father is penn st alum ...dan has said his father still has navy sheets on the bed

Dan Mullen was born in Philadelphia, raised in the northeast, and went to college at Ursinus.


The school has not mention Mullen as a candidate that I have saw ...only bloggers
Dan Mullen is paid in the top 20, Penn St has the money but will they give it to him?
