Once the sun screwed up the message board they lost their base and no one wanted to use their pay wall. Couldn't keep their high priced journalists (loosely defined). I'm with ox on this one: find some young journalists who can write and actually like the Gators!
To repeat another comment. They don't or wont pay enough.

This is the kind of job that could get a young journalist exposure and a great stepping stone to something bigger - even Crucial moved up after being there. I would think there would be some ambitious guys willing to do it for peanuts. Literally peanuts.

Probably my comment was tongue in cheek. Is it bad that while I gave him hell, part of me feels bad for the guy. Sure seems like a cash strapped failing newspaper ushering him out the door. Hey Robbie you make less than Pat so you get to stay...for a while. Now get off your butt and do some work.

Inside scoop. He could no longer fit into the cubicle and they refused to enlarge it, so he said he’d just resign and they called his bluff.
You heard it here first!

:alone:

Does anybody even want to live in a world without Dooley's playlist?

We might as well all commit suicide TBH.

Good. Maybe we can see Pat's stuff without the paper sticking their hand out first. He should take Robbie with him and keep doing the videos.
You actually watch that crap? I get 30 seconds in and want to shoot myself in the face.

Honestly, the only thing worse than his awful prose is his embarrassing videos.

I am at a loss now.

Where will I go now if I want to be lectured on how to be a subservient gator fan that never questions anything that UF does?

Where will I go to be called a gidiot because I think that a beatnik is not a good fit for the UF football program?

Where will I go to read about UF sports that only focuses on the messaging that UF endorsed?

Where will I go to have bullish!t woke politics shoved down my throat in the middle of a sports column?

Maybe they can find a young, delusional but arrogant columnist that UF has indoctrinated to continue with his worthless legacy.

Then again maybe I will just continue to ignore the Sun like I have for the last few years
