I blame Gus!

The game was amazing. I had a great time, the rain came down and I still stayed, jumping and screaming as loud as my 61 year old body would let me. After the game We went back to @UCF_SystemsEng house and we were relaxing watching more football. Suddenly, while just sitting on the couch I started to feel strange. Then my trusty Apple Watch tells me my heart is in AFIB. We called an ambulance and sure enough I am in AFIB. Off to the Hospital I go. After they Zapped me twice my heart was back in sinus rhythm. I am back home and fine.

This team caused me to jump up and down and scream and go crazy while in the pouring rain, so I am not sure if that had anything to do with it. The funny part was that while I was in the hospital, the nurse told me she had 2 other patients check in on Saturday evening with heart issues that were also at the UCF game.

So I would recommend that everybody takes care of themselves, and I am the second person I know that was warned by their Apple Watch about being in AFIB. I am glad that I have the thing now. I bought it for that specific reason and it actually worked!

For those wondering, I am fine. I am on a new med and baby aspirin and will be following up with a local cardiologist. The food at AdventHealth East Orlando sucks and they have 2 people in a room which is not ideal, but the nurses and doctors seemed fine and I feel I got good care.

Also, a shout out to Brightline that I never thought I would use, but my wife decided that I should not drive myself home, so she rode the Brightline up and drove me home.

I huge thanks to @UCF_SystemsEng and Mrs. Systemeng for everything!

Vintage UCF gameday posters - 1999 vs. Purdue & Florida

25 years ago, UCF opened up the 1999 season with four consecutive top 25 teams. It was UCF's first post-Daunte season. Final record was 4-7.

Sept. 4 vs. No. 22 Purdue (Drew Brees) - 47-13 L
Sept. 11 at No. 4 Florida - 58-27 L
Sept. 18 at No. 12 Georgia Tech - 41-10 L
Sept. 25 at No. 11 Georgia - 24-23 L

A few years ago, I was gifted a box of UCF mementos from former SID John Marini, who led the UCF communications department during the 1990s and early 2000s (until Tribble's arrival). I was just looking at it again this weekend and thought it would be timely to post since UCF plays Florida again this season.

The Purdue game was UCF's first home game against a "power conference" team (more generic terms would have been used back then).

I'm not sure how this artwork was used (campus posters, t-shirts?) but it's the same artist from Metropolis Graphics that designed many of the SGA t-shirts of the era.

Need Help - Historical UCF uniforms

I brought this up in the EA College Football game thread, but figured many people may not be in that thread, so I'd reach out to the rest of the board.

I want to create a series of throwback uniforms for UCF. I've got a few helmets (below), thinking about also including one of the initial designs with the large Pegasus logo.

Is there a good source to view color photos of these uniforms, or does anyone have any relevant photos they can post? I want to try and get the color schemes, uniform logo placements, and fonts as close as possible.
