I don’t know who or what I miss more. Norm Carlson … or the era of sports journalism he represented. Carlson — or Mr. C, as he was known by some of us then-student journalists at the University of Florida — was the most media-friendly sports publicist I ever encountered and once upon a time gave us Gainesville sports writers and broadcasters unlimited access to the inner sanctum of Gators football. Norm invited us to eat lunch with the head coach of the Gators every Tuesday and granted us exclusive one-on-one interviews with UF players every day after practice.
