As many of us recall, Christopher Russo got his start on Orlando Radio when one station (WKIS?) would allow him to maybe do one hour on Sports Talk a night or two a week...well before Sports Radio became a thing...especially in Orlando.

For those who have seen it, I can’t help but think a little karma was served despite him being a dildo. What’s the difference between that and a gold digger lying and saying she loves some rich dude and then takes him to the cleaners for half? Not defending him just my view.*

😍😍😍

Imagine that. As soon as it isn't politically expedient, we return to science (or something loosely resembling it)

FYI. He would have spoken last week, but Kristi was being discharged that day.

This time of year sucks for sports. Our basketball team is awful and MLB spring training isn’t happening. It’s led to football withdrawals. Figure we can update this thread with off-season news too. Starting off bold with the QB prediction.

QB
Plumlee
Castellanos
Keene

RB
Bowser
Richardson
MAR
McDonald

OL
Swaboda
Jackson
Lee
Hawaiian
Grable

TE
Gamble
Holler
Stevens

WR
Flash
O’keefe
Hudson
Johnson
Griffin

DE
TMB
Celiscar
McDaniel
Corbitt

DT
Barber
Hunter
Goode
Hester

LB
Lewis
JJB
Praying for more transfers

Knight
Hodges
Martinez

CB
Brown
Thornton (think Ware or a freshman will start come the fall)
Adams

S
Wilson
Perry
Bullard
Wells

Come fall I think the Twins, Quan and Townsend will all be pushing for playing time. I think Martinez and Castellanos will too but they’re obviously included here.

He almost sounds like a particular AD who was trying to sell a 2-for-1 deal as not a 2-for-1 deal.

Ok Ladies and Gentlemen on a rainy day in Oviedo, I have some very recent UCF Sports oriented pictures I took to post.

Including, this morning‘s picture taking of our new UCF Baseball Scoreboard update. (Before the rain started)


PLUS ONE VERY SCARY BONUS PICTURE…..Obviously posted at the end…to stimulate your sense of suspense/suspicion.



As usual they will be split up into multiple posts.



FIRST OFF, last night we had the weekly Coach Dawkins show that included special guest UCF Women’s Basketball Coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson (Coach Abe) and Men’s Basketball Strength and Conditioning Coach Charles Stephenson.



First off Coach Dawkins.

Coach Dawkins comes early to his show and says hello to many of the fans in attendance.
It was easy to see he was disappointed in the big loss to Memphis, especially since we were only behind by one point in the second half before Memphis took control for the rest of the game.

We certainly have another tough challenge against Wichita State at home with probably a reduced crowd because of the late 9:00 pm start time on a weekday.






Next up was the UCF Men’s Basketball Strength and Conditioning Coach Charles Stephenson.

He has a great resume and is new to our program.






Big treat was UCF Women’s Basketball Coach Abe attended and was interviewed.






Our Women’s Team is in 1st place in the AAC. 16-3 overall, 8-1 in Conference.


In case you were wondering our UCF Women’s Basketball Team has their own Strength and Conditioning Coach.



Next up, up to date UCF Baseball Scoreboard pictures taken before today’s rain and a challenging BONUS PICTURE…

Memphis will be without Bates but still a road game.

Is this board just going to ignore that as more information comes out, it seems pretty clear this was an attempted coup?

Previously on biiiiiggg brother [dungeon].

@OlearyLookAlike said some horrible things about people in the house and outside. @UCFBS wrote a term paper each day on how evil vaccines are and wanted to self-evict. It's now you're turn to decide who gets to stay for a chance at zero dollars and who is sent packing.

Thanks, JG! I'm guessing the scathing negative, poor effort reviews are no longer publicly posted. 😂

Last offseason we had a thread where we could discuss our unpopular opinions regarding our alma mater. One more football season has been in the books so I figure we can do this all over again.

Anything related to athletics, academics, etc

They’re baaaaaaaaaack….

Found this nugget interesting. Especially since it seems like our merch is pretty meh compared to other big name schools.

Anyone know anything about this?

Kenton "KJ" Kirkland, one of UCF's top secondary targets, was among the recruits who visited recently for Hometown Hero.

The Jacksonville (Fla.) Raines star is the brother of UCF track athlete Kai'lyn Kirkland.

"I came to the UConn game and my sister goes here as well so it's easier to get over here and talk to the coaches," Kirkland said. (Hometown Hero) was getting closer to the coaches. My position coach, Coach Addison (Williams), we sat down and talked. We talked about personal relationships, just how to be better as a man on and off the field. He said everything I needed to hear. It was a great overall experience."

The relationship with Coach Williams has been developing over the last several months.

"We talk on the phone, he came to the school and we talk in person," Kirkland. "That's what stood out to me the most. Some colleges recruit you over the phone, tell you you're their guy, but when you see them in person it's like they don't even know you. There were a lot of people here, and Coach Addison was still making sure he was talking to me out of everybody else. That means a lot to me and my family."

Favorite part about the day?

"The most fun part was probably playing dodgeball," Kirkland said. "But really just talking with Coach Addison. That meant the most for me coming here."

What stands out about UCF?

"It's actually close to home," Kirkland said. "My sister goes to UCF. She tells me a lot of good things about the school. I asked other players about how they feel and they say the support system is probably the strongest thing here. That's one thing I'm looking for. If you've got a good support system, I'm not sure why you wouldn't come here."

Kirkland also took notice of UCF's recent win against Florida in the Gasparilla Bowl.

"As soon as I walked in, they had the Florida game playing on replay," he said.

UCF, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Florida State, Kentucky, Ole Miss, LSU, Nebraska, Michigan and Cincinnati are among the schools that have offered.

The 6-foot-2 Kirkland is being recruited by most schools to play corner.

"(My strengths that I hear from coaches are) my length, my speed, ability to win off press and ball skills," Kirkland said. "But I like when coaches don't just tell me the things I'm good at, but the things I need to work on. I'm working on my change of direction, which is one of the things that's a weak area. If I get that together that will set me apart from other DBs. There's not too many 6-2 DBs with speed, maybe a select few and I want to be the best of that select few."

Kirkland says he'll probably return to UCF for spring practice, or maybe even earlier if they're down to visit his sister on a weekend. He also visited Florida State and Georgia during the month of January. No favorites yet.

"It's too early to decide," Kirkland said. "I'm just waiting on whichever school fits me the best... Wherever I feel the most at home and have the best relationship with the coaches, that's where I'll go."

When might a decision come?

"Whenever I get that gut feeling, that's when I'll be ready to commit," Kirkland said. "But I don't have a set time right now."
