These guys aren't giving up anything easy at all

From the D Line to the Secondary, whew

You love to see it

Looking for a parking pass for D2 for the Colorado game. Please email me at ucf1997@gmail.com

Thanks

But at least my AC now works. It’s better than paying THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS for what we are seeing.

58-14, Good guys

Grayson McCall Watch appears to be coming to an end, at least as it pertains to UCF.

As you know, McCall visited NC State and UCF back to back, Friday through early Monday. A decision was expected shortly thereafter.

Monday came and went. No decision.

Would a decision come Tuesday?

By late morning/early afternoon, rumors started to trickle that NC State was continuing to pursue other portal QBs. Was that a sign they weren't confident about McCall? Or just coincidence because they're hoping to land multiple portal QBs?

Was that a good sign for UCF?

By late afternoon, I started to hear UCF would be moving on from McCall.

There are so many layers to recruiting these days and NIL is a big component of that.

I'm told UCF was initially targeting other QBs, but were intrigued when McCall showed legitimate reciprocal interest. Is he worth a serious look and offer? The decision was made to bring him in for a visit.

There was indeed mutual interest. McCall had a good visit and thought it could be a fit.

UCF/Kingdom offered a fair deal, which exceeded NC State's.

McCall has an agent who is continuing to shop around. There is now a mystery third school (if not a fourth) who are negotiating and wanted him to hold off. I'm assuming these are schools who feel they may miss out on their primary targets and want to fall back to the possibility of McCall. He could command more at those schools that have deeper collective resources.

In any case, McCall's asking price has gone up and UCF isn't going there.

From what I heard, he isn't going to NC State either unless they find a way to come up with more.

The entire strategy of recruiting is fascinating these days. Kingdom doesn't have an unlimited budget. You have to make smart decisions on where to allocate your resources. It's like a salary cap in the pros. Do you go all in on the star player at the expense of other roster moves?

I know this is going to sound like spin, but UCF apparently wasn't 100% sold on McCall even at his original asking price. It was a gamble of sorts with past injury issues and only having one year of eligibility remaining. If UCF went all in with him, would that hamper efforts to attract impact players at other positions?

As for where UCF goes next, the transfer portal window lasts the entire month. There are quarterbacks playing in bowl games that may hit the portal as soon as their season is over. There are other options too. Even though the fanbase may interpret this is a big miss, UCF is content with the situation and in some ways "relieved" they won't be over-leveraged. They feel pretty good about a potential QB transfer that may not have the same name recognition, but they feel has a bigger upside.

Stay tuned!

Grayson McCall… remember that guy? Losing 14-7 to Western Carolina

Brent Key is freaking awesome!

Looking to buy a pass for my military friend who's in town with his family and going to the game. Happy to purchase just let me know a fair price. Thanks

Half of the Big 12 teams have conference title odds (+1400) or better with Utah holding a slight edge as favorite. This is anyone’s conference! Will a newcomer emerge supreme in the Big 12, or will the Hateful 8 continue to run things in 2024? Here are some of my best bets on regular season win totals.

More here from Myles Giller for the Sons of UCF.

My SCORE app says ESPN+; just logged in and selected the UCF game which then popped up this screen:

“Unable to access event”

“The content you are trying to view is unavailable to purchase due to your location, entitlement status or device “

WTF?!?!

Who do we think will be the 1st to have a complete meltdown on this board during the game tomorrow?

I may be mistaken, but this should be the first home game, in some time, when bad weather is not being forecasted. No Lightning delays, No Tropical Systems, No torrential Downpours...what will the fans do?

Terry Mo gave a great energetic interview talking about facility upgrades, conferences, etc. They also interviewed game planners on what's new this year. Sounds like a new Lights Up, Lights Down gonna happen. Go Knights. Link if want to listen:

Just wanted to be the first pansy on here making a fool of himself and doubting the team and claim an easy win is a trap game. I really think we've left that a while ago. Now we just lose because of dumb coaching decisions.

It looks like K-State has a new spot for their Central Florida watch parties this year. My wife and I will be up there at Universal for at least a few football weekends.

The photos of the place look cool. The reviews are pretty bad. Anyone know if there are going to be 10 different schools there at once with watch parties? They said K-State games will have sound but I assume that will just be on a few TVs or some smaller room.

Is this place any good? Or is it just another Buffalo Wild Wings packed with a bunch of white trash Michigan and Ohio St t-shirt fans?

During the Big12 segment of the morning show UCF wasn't getting any mentions until Desmond Howard interjected that UCF is a team to watch out for! He said Gus Malzhan's name and compared KJ Jefferson to Cam Newton...Nick Saban squirmed in his seat and didn't say anything. Actually, nobody else defended Desmond's pick for UCF and remained silent. We are flying under the radar....Chip on our shoulder....It's UCF vs The World again this season!!!

Hopefully UCF can host another College Gameday someday in the future. It's a fun show. That Georgia Tech vs FSU game was a super fun watch.

WooHoo For Football Season starting!!
