QB pulls commitment from FSU. Gus would’ve killed this guy. Smart move. Just saw that WILLIY posted this on another thread. Sorry for the repeat.

Just spent 6 days in the hospital and the diagnosis was GBS. I had a bit of a stomach virus for a few days around Christmas and noticed a few days before that my chest and parts of my body were kinda numb. It started getting worse in my whole lower body starting at my lower back/butt, including my 🥜, to my toes were numb. I thought it was like maybe a pinched nerve or something like that, but everything thing being numb should have been a sign. I was able to walk but not that easily and didn’t lose a ton of strength, but it became very hard to move my toes while I was up north for a week and immediately went to the ER when I got home Saturday. Ran every test possible including 2 straight hours in an MRI, blood work, ultrasounds, etc and everything was negative, then had a spinal tap and that was enough data to give this diagnosis. They believe it was viral because there was no bacterial or spinal issues. It is also a side effect of vaccines (Doctor and nurse said they will never get a vaccine) but I haven’t had one since probably the fake fauci flu 2 jabs

I did 5 rounds of IVIG treatments. Doctor said my timing was perfect, coming in too early they might not have thought it was this, wait too long and the ascending paralysis I may not me able to walk or use my arms…and it is deadly when it gets into your heart/lungs, etc. They called it abnormal GBS because the spinal fluid test results weren’t textbook, but basically I got it early.

I have seen some posts previous on GBS and wondered if anyone else has had it or knew someone who has. I am curious the recovery timeline process and if there is anything else that helped. As of now it’s just wait and see. People I talked too were all very worried because for most it was very serious, months in the hospital, etc. I’m still not out of the woods, I’m about 2 weeks in and the cycle is usually 4 weeks of getting worse, then plateau’s and it takes months if not years to fully recover. Hopefully the IVIG at least stops the progress, starting to see small steps of progress.

Keep Charging On! Go Bills.

UCF Grabs Attention With Latest Announcement Ahead of NFL Draft​

Looking at the current state of the in-state programs, we can project where UCF may fit in going forward and what their upside for opportunity is. The big 3 had a golden opportunity over the last 5 + years to carve out their spot as the premier program in the state and have squandered that. Based on last year’s season, FSU (10-3) is far and away the best team currently, while Miami (5-7) and UF (6-7) were questionable at best.

Miami has been especially underwhelming considering the recruiting success they had. Let’s take a look at the last 5 years recruiting rankings for each and their end of season ranking. They had a top 10 class for 2023, but that was in part due to Florida NIL legislation that hamstrung the public schools, their shady donor Ruiz funding a large portion of their war chest, and incompetence from their in-state competition. Now if Miami doesn’t have success immediately, they’re in big trouble. Ruiz may be running away from the SEC (not the conference) soon, UF has gotten their shit together finally and organized their NIL collective, and FSU’s recent success has improved their recruiting dramatically. While 2024’s recruiting rankings are still very early, this is already starting to show


Compounding this is revenue by conference. Let’s take a look at the ACC vs SEC vs Big 12 revenue. Now obviously this doesn’t account for NIL and donations, but there is such a large gap between the SEC and Big 12/ACC, Florida is always positioned for success by being in the premier conference. FSU and Miami, however, are in a much more precarious situation. As realignment looms, they need to position themselves as best as possible over the next couple of seasons. This means no more 5-7 seasons and they must take advantage of a weak ACC for conference title contention. FSU is considered the superior product and should be likely to be swooped up if realignment occurs. However Miami is not a slam dunk 538 Analysis. As we have seen, timing is everything and the teams that do get added are ones that increase value or are on par for existing members. Name recognition only goes so far when it doesn’t translate to on the field success, and resting on the laurels of glory days doesn’t resonate to kids who weren’t even born yet to witness a “dynasty.”


What does this mean for UCF?

The P5 schools will now have to also compete with UCF for recruiting and power within the state. UCF will likely suck for the next few seasons and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a losing season or two. Historically teams that have jumped from G5 to P5 experiences growing pains as their level of competition ramps up. BUT, with a much larger warchest of revenue and NIL, a greater TV and market presence, and name recognition of the Big 12 in recruiting, we’ll see the program steadily build and improve. UCF is in a prime position, considering the recent sub-par seasons of the big 3 and their positioning for a larger revenue grab. While we may not see the translation of these changes immediately to wins, over time UCF will be competing more and more directly with the other in-state programs. I don’t think anyone expects Gus Malzahn to lead the team to the playoffs, but what he can do is recruit at a high level and hopefully bring the program up to a level of stability for the next coach to build upon.

Scott Frost and the UCF coaching staff are adding a high school offensive tackle to their 2025 recruiting class.

Camp Lott, who attends Parklane Academy in McComb, Miss., and had previously been committed to Air Force as a defensive lineman, announced his commitment to UCF on Friday.

The 6-foot-6, 245-pounder made the switch to offensive tackle as a senior, a move that proved transformative for his recruitment.

"It all started with UCF almost two weeks ago," Lott told UCFSports.com. "I had been followed by one of the UCF recruiters on Twitter. It was a Sunday and I got a call after church. I pick up and it's Coach (Scott) Frost. We talked a little bit. He said he liked my film and wanted to get me down for an official visit, so we made plans."

Lott committed to Air Force last June, but didn't sign in December after he received some late interest from Northwestern. He took an official visit to the Big Ten school, but they were only offering a preferred walk-on opportunity.

"I was fine signing with Air Force," Lott said. "I really loved the people and the coaches there. One of the hardest calls I've ever had to make was to let them know of this decision... Once I got down to UCF and saw how great it was between the football and non-football stuff, it just seemed like the right fit."

Went to Ian Bagg's late show last night at Funny Bone (Pointe Orlando) and had a blast!

Every show he does is different since 85% or more of his show is spontaneous crowd work.

He also does a FREE meet and greet afterwards and he has maybe the best merch one coukd ever buy with his "I love Ceasar Salad" t-shirts.

Tix are only $37 (no FEES!).

Also..the warm up comedian put on a great set too.

Note: Funny Bone validates most of the parking so it's only a $2 -fee to park in the garage. (There are a lot more restaurant bars at Pointe Orlando...it seems it's making a solid comeback).

I recently picked up a Ring door cam from Amazon, and ended up returning for a couple of reasons:

• I was getting way too many notifications (I live on the 1st floor of an apartment complex, so people are constantly walking through). I did turn down one of the sensitivity settings so that it has a 'cool down' so that it wasn't constantly sending notifications, but then I ended up actually missing maintenance entering our apartment after knocking on the door.
• No easy way to recharge without removing the camera from its mount, bringing it inside, and charging (hadn't had to do this yet, but would eventually have to)
• Subscription fatigue - I would prefer not to pay yet another monthly subscription fee; once the free trial elapsed, the ring camera is virtually useless except for the "live view" feature

Just curious if there are any door cameras that might help address each of these issues? In particular I'd like something where I can tweak the proximity sensor; I don't really care to see everyone walking by. I do want to see if someone is right at my door.
