For those of you going to the game @ usf on Saturday--Where do you plan on parking? My friends and I were contemplating just parking in a ca$h lot somewhere close to the stadium versus pre-purchasing parking. I am not anticipating a huge crowd. Maybe 15K UCF fans and 5K usf fans? Regardless, I hope you all have an awesome Thanksgiving with your families and see many of you at the game. GO KNIGHTS!

Hoping for a solid outing tonight...maybe CJ Walker comes back and maybe even DJ...as it would be great to get him some PT before the Miami game on Sunday.

From the Sons of UCF: Please click here for a preview of Wednesday night's UCF Men's Basketball game vs Evansville.

How to you use laugh or dislike emoji on Rivals? I can only like.

Good games today, starting with Tulane at Cincy.

NOTE: Believe Friday's Tulane at Cincinnati game is the first one this year for the conf on ABC.

Looking to buy 12 tickets this weekend. In what section is everyone sitting? Some don't want to spend too much, so may do endzone, but don't want to be near students. Any input appreciated. Considering sec 123

Anyone heard anything at this point on JJB being in or out against south florida later?

We’re not gonna be able to make it to Tampa (NARFS) for this one. Any tips on a good place to watch the game in Orlando?

Kyle Israel will always have a special place in UCF history.

As the quarterback for George O'Leary's early teams (2004-07), the Orlando native helped build the foundation for the decade of success that followed. He is also the first quarterback to lead UCF to a conference championship.

For our War on I-4 preview and the final scheduled matchup against South Florida, I caught up with Israel to talk about those early matchups with the Bulls. He was there in 2005 when the series began and UCF was still in the midst of a long losing streak and was on the receiving end of the lopsided 64-12 loss in Tampa in 2007. That game was especially painful and Israel tells the story of how he learned firsthand how some UCF fans took the rivalry seriously.

Though Israel never personally beat the Bulls, he couldn't be more proud of UCF's trajectory in the years to follow with multiple New Year's Six bowl appearances and wins and now a Power Five invite, joining the Big 12 beginning next season.

Time to move on from yesterdays sh!t show, it’s the last usf hate week for the foreseeable future. Need everyone focused on the game (because our message board preparation obviously will come into play on Saturday).

Who is making the trip to our Bay Area home? What’s on the grill? Most importantly, share your hate week memes!

Tulane says 3 pm central time or 4 pm Eastern.

Just sat next to the father of michael williams II who is a DE for usf. Not very happy at usf as he loves Florida but concerned about the coaching hire. Played in one game and redshirted this season. Wonder if there is any talent we can pull?
