Back in my day a Man Cave was the entire house. Always hated that term. This BYU fan’s setup is truly elite.

Classy and fanatic.

Looks better than some of our facilities.

The full 2023 UCF Baseball schedule will be released very soon. Here are some notable matchups:

UCF at Clemson - Feb. 24-26
Georgia Southern at UCF - March 3-5
FSU at UCF - March 14-15

Clemson missed on a NCAA Regional last year (35-23, 13-16 ACC).

UCF won two of three games at Georgia Southern last year. The Eagles ended up having a great year and hosted a Regional.

UCF was supposed to play two games at FSU last season. They lost the first game, but the second game was canceled due to weather. This will be FSU's first appearance John Euliano Park since 2017. There were supposed to play here in 2020, but then COVID hit.

ORLANDO - Highlighted by 34 games on its home field at John Euliano Park, the UCF baseball team announced its 2023 schedule Thursday afternoon. The Knights will play a 56-game regular-season schedule that will feature four teams who participated in the NCAA Tournament in 2022.

Head coach Greg Lovelady will return to the Black and Gold for his seventh season. He will be joined by Ted Tom (6th season), Nick Otte (5th season), and Chris Cates (3rd season), all returning as assistant coaches.

The Knights went 35-25 last season with a 14-10 American Athletic Conference record, and advanced to the semifinals of the AAC Championship in Clearwater, Florida. Pitchers Ben Vespi and Connor Staine earned AAC First-Team honors, and catcher Andrew Sundean and outfielder Gephry Pena were named to the all-conference second-team. Sundean also earned Freshman All-America honors.

The Black and Gold added eight freshmen and nine transfers over the summer to replace the nineteen departures from last season, including three who were selected in the Major League Baseball draft over the summer - Alex Freeland (Dodgers, Rd. 3), Hunter Patteson (Royals Rd. 5), and Connor Staine (Rockies, Rd. 5).

MARQUEE MATCHUPS AT JOHN EULIANO PARK
Florida State, March 14-15
On March 14 and 15, UCF will welcome Florida State to John Euliano Park for the first time since the 2017 season. Florida State had a 34-25 record during the 2022 season with a 15-15 Atlantic Coast Conference record. The Seminoles punched their ticket to the 2022 NCAA Tournament, but were eliminated by UCLA in the Auburn Regional.

Maryland, March 24-26
Maryland makes the trip to Orlando for the first time since 2007 when the Terrapins took two of three from the Knights. A lone 2015 matchup in Mobile, Alabama, which the Black and Gold took 7-6, gives Maryland a 3-2 advantage in the all-time series. The Big Ten powerhouse fell in its regional final to UConn last season after an impressive 44-10 regular-season campaign. The three-game set (March 24-26) will be the last home non-conference series before the Knights move onto their final AAC Regular Season before moving to the Big 12.

South Florida, March 31-April 2
UCF will take on rival South Florida from March 30 to April 2 at John Euliano Park. South Florida had a 28-29 record during the 2022 season with an 8-16 record in the American Athletic Conference. The Bulls lost 9-6 to Tulane in their second American Athletic Conference Tournament game. The Knights will look to take over the all-time series this season after sharing a 34-34 all-time record against the Bulls. UCF went 4-2 against South Florida in its 2022 season.

Houston, April 28-30
After traveling to Houston last season, the Knights will host the Cougars at John Euliano Park for a three-game series to wrap up the month of April. UCF won the series last year, taking two of the three games in Houston. The Black and Gold encountered the Cougars again at the AAC Tournament, winning the first game, but dropping the second matchup in the semifinals. The Knights have the advantage in the all-time series, leading 26-25, with an even better record at home, 14-8.

0-4. Another buyout incoming after they extended Gregory.

I am going to purchase this flag holder to hang the new, gorgeous UCF/Big12 flag: https://quilthangers.com/products/wooden-hanger-bars-for-hanging-flags?variant=41999241412801

Help me pick a color. I'm between Greywash and Ebony. Both will work in my area so really comes down to what accents the flag better.

You got 24 hours before the poll closes. TIA.

The Sons of UCF and UCFXOS collaborate to bring you a film breakdown of the UCF Football win over Tulane from the 2022 season. UCF relied on a heavy dose of the run game, specifically from John Rhys Plumlee and Isaiah Bowser, to defeat Tulane 38-31. Defensively, UCF leveraged some specific schemes and techniques to come up with stops when needed. Looking ahead, Adam and Andy also go through some recent game film from the Navy Football team to show the intricacies of their offensive scheme. UCFXOS, Andy Bartsch, has over 10 years of experience coaching and breaking down film. You can find Andy on Twitter @UCFXOS.

Make an offer for all.

Does anyone have (or have connections) to extra tickets for the UCF Graduation event on December 16 2PM ceremony? 1-2 tickets needed.

They’re for sale here if anyone wants a soccer ish type jersey

I don't post here often but more so browse and react.

Went to the game yesterday and made it maybe half way through the first quarter when I got a call that no one should ever receive. (My wife didn't go to the game because she had surgery a month ago but didn't want our 3 kids to miss this game.) My phone call was that my 45 year old sister in law passed away while taking a nap.

Needless to say my wife and son were on the first flight to be with her family in Ohio.

My sister in law leaves behind 4 special needs children who have yet to understand what is going on.

I'm still at a loss but as the day goes on more tears are shed. You fiw are the best and always have been in every situation.

If you all would like to donate I would appreciate it as I know my wife and her family would also.


(I may need to stay away for a while. My family received a phone call 5 years almost to the day while at a ucf game again that my grandfather was about to pass away. After many minutes in our suite trying to convince my parents to leave they finally did and caught a flight. They landed in Detroit and were driving in route when he passed.)

This just hits completely different.

That must be a serious storm to move a game due to snow. Has that ever been done?

What do you think Knights? I was hoping we’d land somewhere closer to #16 or #17 (FSU is ranked at #19).

For entertaining me all afternoon with these threads as I have been completing my annual harassment, info sec, anti-corruption, and code of conduct trainings. The thread content today has made it a lot less boring!

We bought our house 4 years ago and had to do some repairs over the back porch where there was cracked stucco, and water damage to a support beam underneath.
They replaced the beam and the stucco, and about 2 years later we had someone patch it as it was cracking again (we thought it was just cracks from settling).

We're having issues with it where the stucco is cracking along the wall again, so clearly water is still getting in somewhere. It's definitely not hurricane related, and is from before we bought the house, so I don't think our insurance will cover it.

We need to hire someone to figure out where the problem is continuing to come from and hopefully how to fix it.
Has anyone worked with a company on anything like this in the past that you'd recommend?

Thanks

fyi
