Two weeks after the UCF Athletics Association agreed to a 10-year, $19.5 million deal with FBC Mortgage that renames the Knights football venue, it announced another naming rights deal for a section of premium seating inside the stadium tower.

UCFAA and 3MG Roofing & Solar have agreed to a 5-year, $1.75 million agreement that renames the third-floor premium seating area, previously known as the Tower Club, the 3MG Club.

This marks the first time that the Tower Club has had a naming-rights partner, the school said in a press release.

==============================================================================================================================================================

What else can we rent out? The Lazy river for alumni to rent for Pool Parties or Carl Black and Gold Cabana for special family or business events?

I personally feel that the stadium upgrade plans for total seating is too low. We were at or near capacity in the AAC. I feel total seating of 55k to 60k is more appropriate and will allow for the greater fan interest and support in the Big12. I don't want to see us go through the mess of construction again in 5 years because we didn't plan for growth.

Always a debate here in Lakeland on trips out to the beach on what is preferred. Curious as to y’all’s opinion.

overwhelmingly people in Lakeland like to go to west coast, specifically Anna Maria. I do like the beach, but the town itself does not really have a ton to offer. Plus, you aren’t really getting away from Lakeland, because during the summer months, it becomes “Lakeland West”. Traffic in and out is also pretty bad.

A poster earlier said on the travel thread about liking Brevard because of how chill it is. I could not agree more. Plus, way more dining and bar options there. The beaches aren’t quite as nice, but I do like the energy of the waves, and the fishing in the over coastal and offshore is superior.

I guess I am a 60/40 split between the two, with space coast being my favorite spot on the east coast (also enjoy St Augustine/Amelia Island). West coast, Longboat Key and Siesta Key.. the latter having one of the nicest beaches in FL.

what say you dungeonites?

Not sure if anybody caught this story but he has facial paralysis. A month or so ago his wife had a stroke.

Pretty bad luck for a couple in their 20s.

@Boston.Knight


Have you seen anything from your sources about the FDA approving the covid vaccine for kids under 5 even though Pfizer shows a negative efficacy in that age group?

Vaccinated people probably get more action

Thoughts?

Pretty nice shout out by Josh Pete on UCF’s success

Not sure how him failing to report his a TA for sexually assaulting a student in his class isn't just cause for firing.

It’s been awfully quite on if anyone is visiting this weekend.

Solid work 👏👏👏👏

Are they still scared and cowering at home like Bostonstrangler and Knighttime while the rest of us are traveling, going to sporting events, etc?

Hmmm 🤔

So he was vaxxed, then caught the virus during the trucker blockade, then got boosted, now has covid again.

What is he actually hiding from this time?

After a standout freshman season, Josh Celiscar emerged as a starter in 2021 and is looking to take on a bigger leadership role heading into his third year.

We caught up with him late last week.

"I believe my role on this team is to do my job and everybody is going to follow me," Celiscar said. "The d-line follows me and asks me questions. I want to help them out as much as I can."

Celsicar said last spring/camp was about "getting used" to the new staff and he feels he's a better player after being challenged by T-Will and crew.

He wants to improve his pass rush heading into his junior season.

"This year we need somebody to get there," Celiscar said. "Now it's time to work and get better."

What's the process of doing that?

"We have 4:30 meetings, so I try to stay with Coach (Kenny Ingram) a little bit after to talk about what we need to do, like tighten down or work on your first step. Giving me good keys so I can get better. Developing one move and getting a counter off that one move."

Celsicar said he's trying to bring K.D. McDaniel along. He's the transfer from Kentucky that's playing the buck position.

"He's an energy guy," Celiscar said. "He's going to get to the ball and work hard. Now it's about him getting the technique down and progressing."



Who's having a good spring?

"I think Koby Perry," Celiscar said. "He's been doing a lot of things, like getting to the football. I really like that. I want a safety that brings something. I love the way he comes to practice with energy and getting to the football. I really appreciate him coming here and doing what he's doing."

Perry, a transfer from Austin Peay, was the OVC's Defensive Player of the Year last season.

Celiscar feels the DL has progressed. He admitted they were not prepared for the initial demands from this staff.

"Last spring, we weren't expecting all this from the coaches," Celiscar said. "Now we come out here and accept the challenge. We want the physical (play) and all that comes with it."

Celiscar said Kenny Ingram (DE coach) is a cool and funny guy. Also a minister.

"Before every practice we pray and go through a devotion," Celiscar said. "He's a great coach. With him challenging me last year, I feel I'm progressing and becoming more of a leader, both vocally and leading by example."

How is the offense looking? Celiscar usually goes against offensive tackle Sam Jackson.

"He gives me fits. He's going to get me better and I'll get him better. The offense looks good overall."

He later added OT Ryan Swoboda (Virginia transfer) has been doing well against their DEs, though he hasn't personally faced him yet.

I asked Josh about his little brother Isaac who is a basketball player in the Class of 2024. He has an early offer from Siena. He's trying to be a mentor, like his older brother Donald (now a coach at Western Michigan) was to him.

Lakeland WR Daidren Zipperer is a big fan of macaroni and cheese and baked beans... together.

Baylor hired a JUCO coach. He was an assistant at Baylor from 1995-2012 before becoming HC at McLennan Community College.

It looks like they updated the roster and I don't see Bentavious Thompson on there.

Also missing are Kendrick Wilson (DL - R-Fr) and Zyin Thomas (DL - Fr).
