For all the time I have been paying attention to Florida football, really all except my formative stages, there has never been a season like the last one.
So many highlights, so many lowlights. It was a mess that played with your emotions and ended up on the wrong end of the final record.
Every time someone thought they found a hero, the same player would either have an injury or a brain freeze or something worse and it felt like The Mean Season, although that was actually a movie about a serial murderer and a newspaper reporter so maybe not.
But it did feel mean. Any time a Florida team loses to its three biggest rivals, gets blown out in a bowl game and sets all-time records for defensive ineptitude, it feels like someone was sticking pins in an orange-and-blue voodoo doll.
This week’s Dooley’s Dozen takes you back kicking and screaming to look at the 12 plays that defined 2022 for the Gator Nation. You may have to avert your eyes at some because they are not pleasant memories.
