Dooley just said Tyler Bray's situation will be handled internally, and that they're moving on.
Called it "silly, pre-pubescant behavior" that's "part of growing up."
"Obviously he needs to work on his accuracy. He missed the trash can."
More later...

Does "handled internally" mean lots of extra conditioning, but no suspension?

In other words, "this is not a big deal". I couldn't agree more.

And this is why I love Derek Dooley. Wish I could have gone up there tonight, but have family arrangements to attend to.

Sanity restored. Stadium steps will be waiting in the morning.
Dooley makes the right call.

JMO, but it's a little premature to say this was handled correctly. I like CDD and I like Bray, I hope this incident doesn't poorly effect team dynamics or player behavior, and there is a good chance it wont. But if we continue to see stupid behavior from our starting QB or other players, this could be seen as a missed opportunity to instill discipline.

My guess is that Bray is certainly not out of the doghouse. Coach Dooley may be somewhat lighthearted during interviews and not wish to air their dirty laundry in the public forum. Any takers for a bet that Bray drops a few pounds in the next few days?
"Old School"! A strong defense wins championships!

And exactly how do you think he should've handled a minor situation like this? You go too strict and you can hang up recruiting. If it was a civilian situation nothing else would come of it because it was worked out between the 2 parties.
