This is the first time I've ever seen anyone make this particular sentiment in all these years.
Im not sure 46 has had a lucid thought in about the same time as Andrieu and Drooley.

Even if he had gotten the opponent correct, what is the point of making such an obvious and inane comment? Just say Uf is playing a little league girls soccer team, therefore it is no contest. For the love of JFC this team was booted from its own Big WEST OVC Sun Belt of the Mason Dixon Line Conference and made to become sub Division 7.

It's a perfect example of tweeting something just because you feel it's your job to do so.

@Ox and Donkey. Senior moments are for those who also have lucid moments. So I can't claim a senior moment.
I have my own senior moments.

You are just from that generation that was taught to believe the media bc they are important and must be smarter than us.

Ive been reading Dooley since the 90s and he has never been competent nor has he had any contacts that provided him with inside info. That stuff would require work.

To be serious for a moment, I wouldn't use a Dooley column for fish wrapper. I stopped reading him a long time ago. But on his brief call ins to our local sports talk he's a different animal. He just won't put anything in print. I guess it's a combination of lazy and beholden to the powers that be.

Dear God Donkey, If I've left you with the impression that I believe anything that the media prints, posts, or broadcasts, let me assure you I do not. I find it exhausting to research and find the true facts behind any issue.

What was he saying last October about Butters? He is the last one to know.

Driskel for Heisman and first round draft pick, remember that?

Oh he knew. On a call in to our local radio he would spew the company line and then insert the word but. Then tell you what he really thought. Sounded like a nice high wire act to me.

Wasn't there another incident recently when Pat & Robbie were doing a video podcast and neither one could remember for a moment which team UF had played?

Pat actually sounds like he knows something when he goes on Jax radio talk.

Dude, I can tell you after listening to his own radio show, then the next show (which he is no longer on), he is very big on the company line. I can't count the number of times he would tell any caller who called a 100+ ranked offense unacceptable to "stop watching". That was his response. Not that there was an issue. Hell, if he ever said anything negative about a 100+ ranked offense it was justified by injuries, suspensions, anything other than the scheme/o-line being a joke. He would rant about Franks not looking ready last year, then when a caller would ask "isn't it the coaches job to get him ready/wasn't he ready enough there was debate to pull the redshirt and have him play in the Outback Bowl?" he would deflect that it was 100% Franks and 0% Nuss. Franks hasn't lit the world on fire, but look at almost any stat of his, including sacks taken, and its still night/day.

Dooley is a nice guy, but he toes the company line and has belittled people for anything outside the company line (besides the non-exclusive examples given).

And on the brain fart, that would hold water if this wasn't the constant state of these two guys.

Yeah anyone that’s trying to type Idaho could spell Utah by mistake, somebody must have spiked Robbie’s juice box.
My wife, a Florida grad with a BS in Math, cannot for the life of her distinguish between Ohio and Iowa. I don't get it but intelligent people do sometimes have mental path processing errors.
