Predicted all this years and years ago. I was there at lunch with George eating a sub or something when he went into and opined his theory about geography and on the lips of a lot of people changes are coming speech. Little did we all know at that moment we were witnessing a historical prophecy that would come to fruition. Too bad we didn’t have a court reporter present to transcribe that day bc we could’ve immortalized his words and enshrined them in the football facility. What a moment! Thank you for coming here and seeing the vision King George!*

Nice! Hopefully Brandon got some interviews?

Gundy on program culture in new NIL era, from The Athletic (and i agree with him):


“We’ve got plenty of young players that deserve an opportunity to play,” Gundy said. “We’ve got guys on second team who have worked hard and have practiced and deserve to get on the field and play. Then we’ll decide if they’re at the level that we need them to be. If we never put them out there and let them get a chance to play and we keep using the portal, then why would you want to put any long-term effort into this program?

“If you’re here and you put your two or three years in and you’re up next, you deserve a chance to play. And then if for some reason it’s not good enough, we can make an adjustment. But if we keep trying to bring other guys in and throw guys in front of guys who have paid the price, are you going to ruin the culture of your program?”

Lots of great daily broadcasts about the Big12. Today they're featuring the BU AD on the new commish hire with a nice live chat.

This is our new vibrant conference, time to get on board!

Will post anything relevant around UCF or b12 move

Ethan Hubbard currently calls Alabama home, but he's a 'Hometown Hero' at heart. The Hoover High School offensive tackle grew up in the Orlando area, just a stone's throw from the UCF campus. So when the Knights offered him earlier this week, it was a very special day.

Hubbard had just camped at UCF last weekend.

"Coach (Herb) Hand told me after the camp that I did really well," Hubbard said. "They were trying to see my athleticism. I think I'm one of the best athletic tackles in my class. I'm just very underrated. That's why they're recruiting me, my athleticism and how I can move."

Then the good news was relayed Wednesday while Hubbard was on an official visit to South Alabama.

"Coach Hand texted me at 10 in the morning," Hubbard said. "I was on my visit (to South Alabama) so I couldn't talk right away. Then my o-line coach was calling and saying UCF really wants to talk to you. So I scheduled a time to talk which was 4 o'clock when I'd have some downtime. I called Coach Hand and he was like, 'I'm handing it over to Coach (Gus) Malzahn.'

"Coach Malzahn said I had a really good camp. 'We want to offer you a scholarship to the University of Central Florida. We're real excited about you.' Tears started coming down my face because I'm a real emotional guy. I really wanted this offer from day one. I'm actually from Oviedo and grew up watching UCF Football. It's basically a dream offer for me."

Hubbard is a Florida boy, born in Jacksonville. He spent a short time in Coral Springs before his family moved to Oviedo in 2015. He's been in Hoover for the past three years.

"We used to go to a lot of games which was real exciting," Hubbard said. "That's when UCF was on the rise. I loved watching their games. I still do to this day. I'm still a fan."

His favorite UCF memory?

"When UCF had the first College Gameday," Hubbard said. "I loved that game so much. I went with friends. It's one of my best memories of UCF Football."

That was Nov. 17, 2018 when UCF steamrolled Cincinnati 38-13 to extend their winning streak to 23 games.

"I just remember the Bounce House shaking," Hubbard said. "It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. I love the stadium too. I just love the energy of it."

Hubbard, who is 6-foot-6 and 285 pounds, thinks he'd be a great fit playing within Malzahn's offense and Hand's offensive line.

"Coach Hand is one of the best o-line coaches I've ever met," Hubbard said. "What he was telling me really fits my scheme. We run a bunch of outside zone which I'm really good at because of my athleticism. The pass-oriented stuff. He said I can coach you all the way through. I really connected with him too."

It's been a busy month for Hubbard, who has also attended camps at Mercer, South Alabama, Florida State and Duke. He also did a brief workout for the coaches at South Florida. Those were productive as Duke and USF also offered this week. Prior offers include Liberty, Eastern Kentucky, Akron, UT Martin, Louisiana, Central Michigan, South Alabama, Arkansas State, Middle Tennessee, ETSU, Samford, Western Kentucky, Charlotte and James Madison.

He wrapped up his official visit to South Alabama on Thursday morning.

"They're going to be really, really good soon," Hubbard said of the Jaguars. I love their coaching staff. I love the city. It reminds me a bunch of Florida. They're going to be really good with that coaching staff. The o-line staff is amazing. That's why I'm really interested in them."

Hubbard also has an official visit to Duke this upcoming weekend.

"I really like their coaches too," Hubbard said of the Blue Devils. "All their coaches are great. I love their academics. My dad was saying it's like a free degree to get six figures. That's why Duke is very high up on the board too."

Hubbard is hoping to return to UCF for a visit at the end of July. He's looking to make a decision prior to the season. If that's not possible, maybe early in his senior year.

"The biggest things for me are coaching staff, strength coach and academics," Hubbard said.

I've been looking into paddle boards to do some inshore fishing down here in swfl.

I've been looking at inflatables like the iRocker Blackfin XL or the Bote Rackham Aero.

Anyone use paddle boards for this? Curious on what your setup/board you chose and why

I know this will break the hearts of crazy, knighttime errrrrrrrrrrr bchailmary, and the parade float but:

I know alot of people love the OHT stuff, including me, and it sells out fast

the new shirt is sweet

As everyone probably knows, I tend to think more analytically here than most, with the possible exception of @UCFBS, who thinks he knows more and is smarter than everyone 🤣 .jk. Anyway, moving on, what actually concerns me is cold weather conditions. Before anyone laughs or whatever, just know we played ghastly in the MAC in these conditions, and in some games in the AAC. Which brings me to the point of how do we address winter games in Ames, Stillwater, Manhattan, etc, in the cold? A snow machine for the IPF or something? #Chargeon.*

Are any other former UCF QBs in starting roles or fighting for a starting role other than Vedral, Milton, and Mack?

This was a good discussion he had recently in regards to how the fan bases would react if Vegas is right.

Theoretically, how much do we think a bro would need to scrape together to get an NPF (pro softball team) going? Assuming we got the right political connections with the league.

I see the explosive growth of the sport and media following (and it's fun as crap), juxtaposed against the low salaries (avg <$10k salary, $180k salary cap for entire teams) and runway for growth.. just wonder if some enterprising individuals could get something going and market it well on a regional level. For young folks it could be a legacy asset. Looks like cheap eyeballs to me. Might end up on the right side of history too.
