Central Florida's teleconference with coach George O'Leary was canceled Monday because school officials accidentally gave the number for a phone sex line instead of the teleconference number. According to a blog by an Orlando Sentinel staffer, the voice on the other line said, "Hi sexy, you've reached the one-on-one fantasy line." The reporter hung up and rechecked the school's news release and dialed again, but got the same phone sex hotline complete with offers. The staffer says, "I can't really post on this blog." It turns out Leigh Torbin, the school's new director of athletic communications, accidentally listed one digit incorrectly when he released the teleconference information. Torbin said he feels terrible about the error and set up another teleconference with O'Leary at noon Wednesday.

Were they using Eliot Spitzer's phone again ... ?

Too Funny. Can't believe the reporters would rather talk with O'Leary than the sex hotline.

September 3, 2008  07:54 AM ET

They are assuming it was a wrong number. Maybe Mr. O'Leary was role palying?

September 3, 2008  08:17 AM ET

For crying out loud. People dial the wrong number, and that becomes NEWS???

Last night someone called me and hung up. Should I put that in the f(*&ing New York Times???

Come on, people!!!

Where did this guy get his communications degree? You'd think he would get the facts straight and double check the information before releasing it to the media. Anyway, it'll be something to laugh about later but I'll bet Mr. Torbin is sick to his stomach right now.

Sure.....Torbin mistyped a number....or maybe he's a client, LOL. Just kidding...kinda. = D

LOL.

That is frickin hilarious.

What did the reporter do when they sex line operator said "George? Is that you?"

September 3, 2008  11:14 AM ET

Its in print because that was the only way he could convince his wife that it REALLY was a wrong # mistake.

I guess 3rd and long is pretty weak

Here's a legit Central Florida question: What the hell happened to the story about a kid, Plancher, DYING in practice this past spring under the O'Leary's and program's eye? Why has this story been abandoned when there were so many unanswered questions??

September 3, 2008  05:40 PM ET

Read between the lines.

I think he wanted to borrow some freshman from Saban's number one recruiting class who didn't get to play the other night.

September 3, 2008  08:32 PM ET

I'd like to think UCF did it on purpose. O'Leary had a weird little spat with the Sentinel not long ago about how he'd never talk to them again. You never know...

Reminds me of the time we took this guy to the 'Landing Strip' and he said he's never been there before. This girl is hanging upside down on a pole and calls him by his first name. True
