Some highlights from the Big Orange Caravan's stop in Jacksonville:
During Q&A, a lady was introducing her question, and when it became obvious where she was going, Dooley acknowledged that she (and everyone else in the room) needed Tennessee to beat Florida. He didn't provide any material that could end up on a bulletin board via youtube. He just said that when you go on a Caravan like this, at every stop, someone will say that they only need him to win one particular game. And, when he looks at it, he realizes he needs to be 12-0 to please everybody.
Here are his responses to the evening's final two questions:
Derek Dooley evaluates his performance and comments on the Plus One - YouTube
The price was much higher than it was the last time the Caravan was here, in 2009, but all three head coaches had an organized autograph line, along with Condredge Holloway. The quality dinner and getting a Q&A in a small room also contributed to making it worth the 39 bucks. I think it was around 20 or 25 dollars in 2009. It was a great time both years though. :yes:
The local news couldn't cover the event without scoring a cheap pop from the large number of Gators among their viewers. :ermm:
The news crew briefly stopped by to shoot video while I was in Dooley's autograph line. They teased the story by saying that Dooley was in Muschamp's backyard tonight. Their spin on the local Fox and CBS shows was that Dooley was in town looking for more area football players. On the Fox show, after Dooley's comment that there's a lot of interest in Tennessee down here, the sports anchor said, "they're interested in seeing Florida whip Tennessee." A shorter version aired on the local CBS show; this time, he didn't even mention the Caravan and just quickly said that Dooley was in town looking for more players and that "they need them, because they haven't beaten Florida in a long time." :sad:
