Alright, a day after our poor showing in Jacksonville, I was thinking about a lot of things where our Gators are concerned and took a minute to check on the Nole$ at Warchant (this was before the Taggart announcement). Even though it felt kinda like turning to a hooker after a fight with your missus, I sought a little solace from a bunch that I knew were hurting worse than us. A post in the "FSU v UM vent thread" caught my eye.

Before I show you, it's important to know that part of my malaise was connected to the mess left behind by one Jim "Butters" McElwain. While he's gone from Gainesville, there's little argument that his stench still lingers. But is he really gone? There may be evidence to the contrary:

Florida looked every bit as inept two seasons ago, when they got rid of the swamp donkey. They hired a decent coach - certainly not a guy who had absolutely overwhelming success in his prior job - yet they are competitive with most everyone already. ~SeaPA, Veteran Seminole Insider

S.O.B. It all makes sense now and explains Law's often testy moods. I guess Butters isn't really gone at all. He's still with the Gators, just on the Cyber-Coaching staff!

Nice detective work. Now if you can solve the really difficult mystery of Ox's Jekyll and Hyde bipolar disorder, You qualify for your PI license.

Careful cover, alleging one is, or is connected to, Butters is slander per se.

Keep an eye out for process servers, you’re about to get a donkey kick.

We have some that are still connecting as often as possible.

They wont admit it anymore but we had people wildly flailing and screaming at the thought we Gidiots wanted him fired in Oct 2017.

Dooley knew all, and they were sure Butters was here a long, long time.
