It's about damn time that the parents of these nutjob gun-toting, mass-murdering teens were held accountable!

For about the same cost as a Covid home test kit Dungeon members can contribute in solving the UCF QB NIL transportation problem.

This heavy duty vehicle is just what a QB needs to get his offensive lineman to a BBQ. For an affordable $2000 plus tax, tag and PIP from the General our signal caller can arrive in style, anywhere. What do you think? 25 bucks a head and UCFSports.com can play with the big boys.

Undefeated if Alabama beats Georgia

Alabama 14 - UGA 10

With TMO being clear he wants to actually challenge ourselves in the Non-Conference what possibilities could we be looking at?

1. Most importantly Has TMO called up Danny White and asked for a home and home?

2. One opening in 2021 and 2022 I assume those will be FCS home games or could we see a philosophy change?

This slate is underwhelming as hell, let's hope to get some exciting matchups.

2021

• 09/04 - Boise State
• 09/17 - at Louisville
• 11/20 - UConn

2022

• 09/01 - at FIU
• 09/10 - Louisville
• 09/24 - Georgia Tech

2023

• 09/09 - at Boise State
• 11/11 - BYU

2024

• 08/31 - at BYU
• 09/07 - Liberty

2025

• 09/20 - North Carolina

2027

• TBA - at North Carolina

Everything seems to be lining up for them.

Houston loss
SD State loss
Cincinnati in the CFP

Alabama will win. SEC won't let Georgia win because they are already in the playoffs. If Alabama wins then both SEC teams are in playoffs.

Didn't want to get lost in the other thread. Please donate if you are able to.

Watching the championship games today I've noticed the size of the QBs. Moving forward I don't care if Gus pursues mobile or pocket passers, but I'd like to see us look at bigger QB. I'm tired of under 6 foot passers. I want someone like Tune at Houston.

Got Otis in my thoughts

check this commercial out 🤔

Just got season tickets again after 8 or 9 years! We canceled when our kids got into baseball and the games conflicted. But our fall is now free and we’re back! Section 209B! So excited!

Did we ever go this deep in analysis?

Certainly would make the CFP Choices more interesting.

Only 7 years ago today.

Hope the Bulldogs prevail. On ESPN+

Mama Milton thinks so, but I don't think that's possible unfortunately. (She was clearly kidding in her post).

So, my brother knows Hescocks brother somehow. He texted me late last nigfht and said that Hescocks brother said that everyone but the "Auburn" guys hate Gus. He said Gus plays favorites etc.
My response was "Bullshit. There are 5 guys who played at Auburn. So, 80 plus guys hate Gus? Nah, Hescock is just mad because he got beat out by a former walk on at TE".
Just an interesting tidbit. Not sure if @Brandon would have any other insight.

In the evolving world of QB recruiting, transfers are the priority and high-schoolers get squeezed​

This guy has earned $3M in NIL, taken 3 snaps, and is now entering the transfer portal.

I was at UCF MBB availability earlier in the day on Monday and will post interviews with Johnny Dawkins, Darin Green and C.J. Walker later on. The Knights lost a heartbreaker to Oklahoma this past Saturday and are currently gearing up to play at Auburn this Wednesday night. The Tigers are ranked No. 21 in the latest AP Poll.

As for recruiting, assistant coaches are back out on the road visiting high schools and meeting with commits. Gus Malzahn's first home visit was on Sunday night to meet with DL commit Jamaal Johnson. Both DL coaches (Kenny Ingram & Kenny Martin) also tagged along. I caught up with Jamaal a little bit earlier and will have that interview soon. Teaser: Jamaal's goal is to be the "best pass rusher in UCF history."

On Monday, Gus visited a couple local high schools: Edgewater and Bishop Moore. Edgewater RB Cedric Baxter may be the top local prospect in the 2023 class. Co-OC/QB coach GJ Kinne met with Thomas Castellanos.

Gus will head to Tampa on Tuesday and meet with RB Xavier Townsend. The Knights have continued to pursue the Tampa-Berkeley Prep star despite his summer commitment to Iowa State. His teammate is UCF LB commit T.J. Bullard and both recently attended the UConn game.

The biggest thing to watch though will be the Transfer Portal. Today was already getting crazy keeping track of the entries and I'm sure more will enter throughout the week. Every school has a few scholarship spots stashed away for portal guys so it will be quite competitive.

There will be probably be three "waves" of portal activity. I think there will be some pre-Dec. 15 action, players coaches want to lock in early without any regard for the existing HS classes. Then maybe another late December/early January wave to fill in some gaps, maybe these are guys you'd rather be kept silent until you sign your HS class in mid-December (you don't want to scare anybody off or give other teams ammo to flip your commits). And then a spring wave following spring practice. Remember, the deadline to enter the portal and be immediately eligible is May 1.

I'm trying to formulate a "hot board" of sorts of potential transfer targets and options... This is really uncharted territory in terms of recruiting coverage, trying to get a feel for how this process will play out. I'm thinking fewer guys will go on the record for who they are considering, visiting, etc., at least compared to the HS players.

The other interesting avenue will be FCS guys looking to make the move up, just like Bryson Armstrong. UCF was poised to take Lamar OL Bless Harris before he flipped to FSU. There is some talent there.

I think UCF is pretty much open to any talented player in the portal. Obvious focuses will be quarterback, wide receiver, offensive tackle, defensive tackle, linebacker and safety.

Maybe running back, but if Isaiah Bowser is returning for another year maybe the need isn't quite as great. Not saying this guy is coming, but if you can upgrade talent, say a player like Jahmyr Gibbs (Georgia Tech transfer), you absolutely take him.

Maryland LB Terrence Lewis is definitely a name to watch - seriously considered Auburn out of high school and is familiar with T-Will. Miami, FSU, Ole Miss, Wisconsin and Auburn are also involved.

Quarterback? The top national prospect on the board right now is Oklahoma's Spencer Rattler. I know the media consensus is that it seems he may want to get closer to the west coast. He's from Phoenix. Arizona State? Would he consider UCF?

Lots of rumors over the last week that Florida QB Anthony Richardson would hit the portal, but seems like he's going to hear out Billy Napier before making a decision (or maybe that decision has been made?). UCF would obviously want to be in that running, but we'll see if anything comes of it.

If UCF can't land a more established QB, I think you then look to the list of players in the portal because of a depth chart squeeze. Guys like FSU's Chubba Purdy, Baylor's Jacob Zeno and Washington State's Cammon Cooper.

Yes, he is a January enrollee.

Kalia Davis went down. Do you have an update on him?

"I don't know. It was his knee. I've never seen anything like this with impact players. But it's next man up. The guys didn't flinch. Second half, the guys played good defense. We're hoping for the best. Pretty unfortunate."
