It’s no secret Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are my second favorite band of all time behind only The Beatles. Tommy always found great irony in that name because the boys were hardly breaking hearts with their mugs.
But we all know about heartbreakers because we have all had our hearts broken at some point. It might have been by a girl or a boy or a team or a song, but if you have never had your heart broken, you may be dead inside.
Even if you are still married to the first person you fell in love with, some team or player has left you with that sick feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Being around Florida football since I saw my first game as a 7-year-old (don’t ask the year), there have been some real heartbreakers from opposing teams.
For this edition of Dooley’s Dozen, we give you the 12 players who earned heartbreaking status against the Gators in chronological order. Please read at your own risk of feeling bummed.
