He recently held an event in support of his local high school community and spent some time discussing his decision to stay with the Knights.

I am fired up for spring practice!

First, congrats if you are!
Second, I've talked to a number of people in this situation and found that many have the desire to work from time to time.
Just on your own time and terms.

I’m building something for this group of FIREees and Retirees.

For those who don’t need a paycheck but enjoy working on their own terms.
Working on projects that interest them when they want, wherever they want.
With a focus on the non-profit industry to start.

I’m putting together an initial group of people to review our scope of work for the project and test what we’re building.
This will be the first set of people on this platform for project work, if they want to be of course.

If you're interested in joining that group, drop me a line at info@pezgah.com
If you know someone who might be, feel free to share the info.

UCF Football Announces Poaching From Big 12 Contender​

Do you know where this building was located on campus and what it was used for?

Same crap every year!

Your Thoughts?

My thoughts:
-Terrible defense, even the announcers kept saying it (Our own Mike Odonnel was an announcer). How many dunks on us??
-Offense misses too many shots
-Turnovers, specifically passes that fly out of bounds under the basket untouched.
-HUGE QUESTION, why are these kids on our bench that will never play? I just don't get it for the life of me. Johnny?
-We have Big 12 money this year. What is the problem??? Can Johnny not recruit?
-Same crap every year with Johnny, we get worse as the season progresses into conference play
-How many years are they going to give Johnny? Two more years of this crap?
-Johnny and his coaches seem to not be able to coach these kids up.
-When there is a time out, why is Johnny not talking to the starters and another coach is????
-Johnny is a passive coach, no flame, no fire. This translates directly to the team.
-Bench: JJ Taylor/M. Williams/Dior Johnson, they don't seem like they are contributing much at all.
-Seems like these players don’t even belong in Division I: Nils Machowski, Rokas Jocius, Elijah Hulsewe, Poohpha (I just don't get it)

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who drives this stretch. Doesn't really matter what time of day you drive, there's almost always congestion.

UCF got consistent scoring from Darius Johnson and Keyshawn Hall, and rim protecting defense from Moustapha Thiam, as they held on late to secure the win.

Kansas State coach Jerome Tang was frustrated with the defensive performance of the Wildcats, particularly on Johnson and Hall.

Join Eric Lopez and Trace Trylko as they debate some of the current topics surrounding UCF Sports.

In this episode, the guys put a bow on the ticket email fiasco, but review one final question: how much, if any, did this hurt the brand.

Plus: how should we evaluate McKenzie Milton as a quarterbacks coach.

Also: basketball breaks the streak, Keyshawn takes to twitter, a no-no in softball, and the NFL combine starts this week.

Thanks for watching here.

For more than two years, North Carolina has secretly sunk more than $600,000 into legal bills for a project that, according to documents recently obtained by The Athletic, was known by only a code name: the Carolina Blue matter.

But a code name for what, exactly?

For UNC’s behind-closed-doors exploration of conference realignment and its future in the ACC, according to two senior school officials briefed on the matter.

Duckett wrote that Tar Heels officials needed to “work together to protect UNC financially and with regard to our reputation.” The focus, Duckett wrote, should be on improving UNC’s finances without private equity — the school had preliminary discussions with multiple firms, according to documents obtained by The Athletic, before opting not to proceed — and asking the league for transparency instead of an “us versus the ACC” squabble.

Preyer responded: “I firmly believe that ‘protecting UNC financially’ requires us to explore every available avenue to depart a conference that is in financial decline and is primarily serving its bottom tier schools. While Carolina once led the ACC, that time is long gone. The current Commissioner is not serving our best interests and simply ‘asking’ for transparency will not get us anywhere but would be a welcome change.”

Preyer added, regarding a potential nine-figure fee required to leave the ACC, that he had, “no desire to disagree with our own team — particularly in public — but no one should not be making statements that quantify the exit cost at $600-700M. That perception only hurts us.”

Beautiful liftoff, all launch objectives met! The first stage did not land on the drone ship as planned, however.

Who needs a free pair of center court seats in 106 on the aisle and a garage F parking pass for the game? I've been given tickets by some on this board when needed and wanting to return the favor. Going to be out of town and just want someone in my seats hopefully cheering us to another win. Reply here and PM me your contact information and I can send them over today.

GKCO!

Team, looks like the old Moat might have a vacancy. Keke’s closed its doors.

I’am sitting this one out. if you are an “angel investor” that wants to invest in a UCF athletics “theme”…..this might be your chance.

I’d recommend getting feedback from the Dungeon Before you pull the trigger.*
