I thought Graham Hall was a residence hall at UF. https://housing.ufl.edu/housing/graham-hall/
I am well aware of this Graham Hall, but am not familiar with any human called Graham Hall. But I see you referenced the "G'ville Slime", so you are probably correct as isn't that the place that Fat Tooley graces? I thought so.

He is much worse than his previous employee. I think sucks might be over the top. What do you expect from the Sun, it is a small paper run by incompetent people. If they were smart Dooley would have been gone (retired or laid off) some time ago.

There operating budget over there is like $47.14 per quarter. He is probably all they can afford.

Interesting picture of Graham Hall. My then fiance lived there the year before we were married (still married to her). During finals week, I parked in the Hume Hall lot and was walking over to see her when a very distraught student tried to take his own life. Right at that corner in the picture, he jumped off the ledge into the shrubbery, breaking several bones. The greenery broke fall. Before he jumped he had taken a bunch of pills but that didn't work either. Took way too many and vomited them up before they could kill him. A couple of us tended to him and called the Kampus Kops. Of course the joke was the guy failed his finals and failed on two suicide attempts. However, he lived and eventually graduated.

Whoa, the memories from Graham Hall. Used to stay there during baseball camp from about age 7-17. Got busted one year sneaking over to the volleyball camper's rooms and had to go on a midnight 10 mile jog behind one of the Gator player's red ford ranger through campus as a punishment. There were about six of us and we could not stop or walk other than to puke, and all six of us did before they would let it be over. These days the University would get sued for something like that. My parents would have commended them and whipped my ass, but there was no way I was telling them.

You are not alone, he is the worst. In fact, the Sun seems to be in full decline with this role. Here are the ones I remember and each one is not as good as his predecessor.
1. Ed Aschoff
2. Zach Abolverdi
3. Jeff Barlis
4. Graham Hall
I stopped reading his columns and I never listen to his podcasts because I know he is only regurgitating what I have seen and read in ten other places. Maybe I can get that job and pretend to actually do something like he does.

The bowl has gotten so lazy in that department. He has gotten to the point that he just copies their tweets and turns them into articles. And by articles – I mean he just recapitulates their tweet into 10 sentences and acts like he broke the story. It’s utter garbage

You guys actually read that fish wrapper? Fish wrapper is actually an insult to fish wrappers. I wouldn't read it if they sent me a $200 gift card to my favorite retail outlet, and a two year free subscription.
$300 and I might click on once or twice just to validate the gift card. Everyone has his price.

Ox, I love this board and the members. It's awesome, yet pathetic, that I get my gators news here and not from the sun.
The Sun, through its history and connections, should be the reliable news source. Instead, they hire a bunch of lazy fuk-tards, like hall, Dooley and andreau.
I love this board, I really do.
But if the sun were semi-competent, and didn't shut down the forums for complaining about their poor effort, there wouldn't be gatorchatter.
Their loss, our gain.
