Interesting look into how college football programs are becoming more like NFL Programs with salary caps/budgets, unlimited staffing and an even crazier free agency.

Marc's interview Andrew Ivins (Dir of Scouting at 247) who gives breakdown on how and why college staffs now mirror NFL Teams, plus how College GM's share salary ranges for position players and how some teams now have 20 personnel for just scouting (HS and College/Portal).

One crazy example: One SEC Team scouted 3,000 college players...just in case they woukd enter the portal.

Same mini horse was inside one of our stores in that area last weekend too.

This article mentions Big Storm closing 3 of its 5 locations, but now the Orlando location downtown is closing, which means only 1 location for Big Storm remains.

This article goes into pretty big accusations, including money laundering and misappropriating funds.

Besides the usual suspects (Georgia, Ohio State, Alabama, etc), who are some teams that could be surprise entrants this season? Could one of them be UCF? What do you all think?

While not in the Top 10...still good presence by the league.

As a new week of fall camp starts for UCF Football, the theme was reviewing and correcting the mistakes from the second scrimmage.

Offensive coordinator Tim Harris liked what he saw in some areas, but knows there is still much to be done.

Meanwhile, the players, including RB RJ Harvey and itching to get the season started.

Yikes! This is freaking CRAZY! I count 34 spam threads destroying Page 1.

EDIT:
Oops.....another one just popped up. Make that 35.

Kendarius Reddick, a defensive back from Thomasville, Ga., currently ranks as UCF's highest-rated commitment in the 2025 class.

A former commitment to Auburn, Reddick flipped to the Knights during his prior visit in February. He returned for Bounce House Weekend which served as his official visit.

"I loved it," Reddick said. "Just being down here, knowing that I'm a commit and seeing everything up close and behind the scenes. It feels great. This whole visit I felt like part of the team. The coaches treated me with great respect and much love."

These guys have not done anything in the conference yet and they already have their bags packed for the B2. It is so reminiscent of the cows when they were left in the BE/AAC. They yawned at the competition, told us how they could not get excited for the the AAC teams, were just waiting for the invite to the ACC, they have been ranked and now how they are culturally and academically superior to the rest of the AAC

This is stolen from the Dan Patrick Show last week.

I’m not ready to go full Keto again, but I am ready to do something about the growing bulge that is my stomach.

I’m thinking about intermittent fasting (8:00pm - Noon) daily. Reducing/eliminating pure junk carbs (deserts, pretzels, chips, etc.) and maybe adding some supplements.

There is a lot written about MCT and most articles feel it can help.

What brands? How much? Etc.

Also what about other supplements like Grape Seed extract?

Yes I know there is a giant Keto thread on here somewhere, I may have started it. I lost 80+ pounds back in 2019, but I have put a lot of it back on. I am trying to find a life style change I can live with for life and 100% Keto is not it.

We want to hear from you on what you think will happen in 2024. Fill out this form with your answers, and the winner will get a yet to be decided prize.
@UCFMike1 will handle the ties based on your guesses. Closes in one week, so hustle!
