Who do you want to beat?

First I will start with overall record:
We need to show improvement this year.
That does not mean win the B12 or bust.
10+ wins really good season
8-9 wins expected season
0-7 wins disappointing season
Yes I am including a bowl game in those totals.

As far as teams I really want to beat.
1. UF
2. Colorado
3. Cincinnati
4. Utah
All the others are about even as far as how much I care about the specific game as long as we total 8+ wins.

OT: Palm Trees cut down on East Plaza Drive next to Arena. Oak Trees planted next?

Many of the Palm Trees along East Palaza Drive (runs between the Arena and Barnes & Noble/Burger U...down to the Baseball Stadium) have been fully removed or have been cut in half. A few still remain.

From another thread:

I saw they hung the banners for the new four on the light poles on the street leading to the stadium.

Also saw they chopped down a bunch of the palm trees along that same street. Would be nice if they could be replaced with some shade trees

Yes it sure looks like all the palm trees are being cut down?

I wonder if they will replant oak trees to match the oak trees across the street in the Memory Mall area?…

I not8ced the nee banners too. Looks cool. I ha e no idea what they are doing with some half chopped palm trees.

Any chance they can put in some Oak Trees to add future shade?

PS. Just saw Kevin's comment after the fact...glad we are both thinking the same thing.

Yes...the new 4 team banners have also been added...as its pretty cool seeing the other 15 Big 12 schools and their colors fly.

Anyone know what UCF might be doing with all the empty holes left by the palm trees removed or even half cut down?

OT: Nearest Whitewater Rafting to Orlando?

I’m looking to take the family on a weekend trip to go Whitewater rafting. I’m trying to find a white water location that is a relatively short drive from a relatively short flight from Orlando. My research suggests that the best option is to fly to Asheville, North Carolina and take one of the excursions there (about a 45 min drive).

Does anyone have any other recommendations?

WOT GoFundMe Help - Best Friend's Wife Dying

Long story short, my best friend's wife has been fighting cancer for years, but it has recently gotten significantly worse. She now has cancer in her brain (meninges) and may have only a few months to live. I want to help them in any way I can and I thought I'd set up a gofundme (or similar) to help cover their medical and other expenses. Hopefully, it will be enough so that they can focus on spending time together as a family (they have two young kids) rather than worry about bills.

Since they are both UCF grads, I thought I'd reach out to my fellow Knights to see if anyone could point me in the right direction. Is GoFundMe a good way to go? Do I need to set up a bank account for the funds, use my own account, or use their account? I want everything to be on the up and up and I want to be smart when it comes to their taxes. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
