Odds I think will be high for whoever the new HC is...they will be on campus no later than Sunday morning and will probably introduced to UCF Fans during Sunday's Hoop game that starts at 1 pm.

I will be there...wonder who I will be clapping for?

If there is a potential weakness to Deion...it might be the OC position.

Last year...he demoted his OC (Sean Lewis) in Nov 2023 and promoted Offensive Analyst Pat Shurmur, former failed NY Giants HC...and someone who has worked with almost 10 NFL teams since 1999.

Does Shurmur really want to stay in College Football or would he want back into the NFL at an assistant role which he has had for most of his career?

While Shurmur doesn't have to sell much on the recruiting trail (hadn't recruited HS players since 1998) because he has Deion Sanders business card with him...its sometimes hard to figure out what style of play Shurmur really wants to do...as his team normally struggles running the ball (especially on the road...except at UCF).

Colorado was DEAD LAST in Big 12 Conf Game rushing (only 73 yds per game) and a league worst 2.6 yds per carry.

Yes, CU had an all-world QB (completed 75% of his conf game passes) and Do-Everything WR but imagine how bad that running game would be if they didn't have one of the Top 2-3 QBs in the country?

Would Deion dare to move off Shurmur and hire Frost as OC?

Can anyone else think of other negatives for Deion? (There are a ton of positives)

Anyone have any insight on Leonard’s post about Drew Brees being around campus today?!

RJ was just named one of the 10 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award given to the best running back in the country. This is the 2nd consecutive year he's been a semifinalist. Only RJ in 2023 and 2024 and Kevin Smith in 2007 have been semifinalists for UCF:

Not sure if this has been discussed, but I’m just curious. I know there’s quite a bit of you that have been on here for a while.. I’m glad I joined a few years ago.. this past week has been very exciting and have enjoyed interacting with you all! GKCO

DM me if interested. Lower bowl.

Interesting that CGM's first game was the lightning delayed Boise State game and his final game was (another) washout last week vs. Utah. In between, we sat thru many rainy games and many rainy tailgates. Why were so many gamedays affected by the weather over the past four seasons? Things that make you go hmmmmm.

Go Knights!!!

Flipped to FSU from UCF.

Says he likes Malzhan's system.

My preference would be a current HC with a good track record.

Sumrall at Tulane should top every list....and bring his QB with him

Other than that, Chadwell and Kinne should be possibilities

Hard NO from me on Frost. At his dream job, he was lazy and spent alot of time cheating on his wife. Milton and and GOL's guys built that 2017 team.

This (or some variation of it) is what we can expect on O with Chadwell....

...we celebrated our 1st ranking by the BCS at #25 back in 2010.

With pre-season testing starting tomorrow I figured I’d start a new thread for this season.

Full schedule: https://www.formula1.com/en/racing/2024.html
First race: Mar 2, 10am

Just so we can laugh in a month here are my pre-testing predictions:
1. RBR - No surprise, I do wonder if we get a full season of Checo though
2. Ferrari - Lots of low hanging fruit that would move them past Mercedes, Fred’s had a full cycle to improve things
3. Mercedes - Lewis will be a lame duck and the team is likely still struggling from having so many key people poached the past couple years
4. McLaren - Huge momentum from last year and two very good drivers, I wouldn’t be surprised if they beat Mercedes
5. Williams - They were scrappy at times last year, add in lots of wind tunnel time and competent leadership. I think they go up the ranks this year
6. Aston - Very fast at times but can’t put it together consistently
7. Torro Rosso - New leadership and if either driver is knocking it out of the park they’ll be sitting next to Max
8. Alpine - probably another rough year for the French
9. Sauber - Another year of collecting sponsorship dollars
10. Haas - Just sell already

Now you people (Ninja) can stop complaining. Or start complaining again--I can't keep up..

Donald Trump is considering Ron DeSantis for secretary of defense, the WSJ reported. The Florida governor would replace first pick Pete Hegseth, a Fox News host facing allegations of rape and financial misconduct.

Someone ask the Bear or Stanford Steve

Is Gus in the conversation for most losses as the betting favorite for a season as a coach or overall at UCF?


Line vs Arizona tommorow around 5-6.5 in UCF’s favor

The search for HC, the recruitment, the lack of information, who's running the show? It's beginning to feel an awful lot like amateur night in Dixie!

FSU announces Gus Malzahn as OC: 'I am excited to be here at Florida State and to help us win championships'​

On Monday evening, FSU formally announced the hiring of Malzahn as their next offensive coordinator.

It was never a stock vs gold thing. You tools never got that. Of course you are in on the game with the casino in the stocks. But the casino can go broke too. This is why we have gold.

Buckle up bag holders, your dollars are inflating away assuming you can still afford to eat. This is why we have hedges like gold and bitcoin. China is accumulating gold, and they want the world to know de-dollarization is upon us.

It’s 11:40 PM, I’m about to go to sleep, but am staying up to see if an 11:45 update drops.

@Brandon, give us some set times for the next coach rumor to drop. You’re killing our jobs and sleep! I’m checking my phone every couple minutes, my family doesn’t understand.

Crap, I need to end this post now, because I need to see if you posted something —

Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend.
