Dooley’s Dozen: 12 New Year’s resolutions for the Gator Nation

Pat Dooley shares his Florida football New Year’s resolutions ahead as the Gator Nation heads into 2024.

When New Year’s resolutions come up, I am always reminded of the quote from satirist and Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker:

“New Year’s resolutions work like this: you think of something you enjoy doing and then resolve to stop doing it.”

Yep. Nobody ever resolves to eat more or drink more or be a worse person or exercise less.

Like me that year when I made the resolution to stop eating chicken wings (it was a problem). I went the next day to cover Florida’s bowl game 20 years ago and all they were serving in the press box was a big pile of chicken wings.

The resolution didn’t last and neither did Florida going to bowl games (burn).

Still, the Dooley’s Dozen offers 12 of them up for Gator fans everywhere as we try like heck to get a lot of you off the ledge.
