Happy Labor Day weekend, Knight Nation, and welcome back to college football!

A few weeks ago, I penned a column advising Knight Nation to temper its expectations for the 2024 football season. After another stellar recruiting season led by Gus Malzahn and his crew, many fans were ready to crown the Knights as the 2024 Big XII Champions and book their hotels in Arlington, before the season even started. Fast forward to Thursday evening, after UCF’s first game of the season against FCS opponent New Hampshire, and many of those same fans were frantically reconsidering making those hotel reservations.

@Nautiknight Shared some of his Chocolates and Beef Jerky with our family. It is fantastic and worth trying. Luke loved the beef Jerky. Thank you so much Bobby for your kindness and sharing. I sincerely appreciate it.

I, just like KJ Jefferson, was not prepared for Game 1 but here is the New Hampshire Victory Helmets graphic.

We are at the Best Western Mountain Lodge in Banner Elk, NC. Late this morning, the East Tennessee State team busses stopped here for an hour or so, on their way to Boone. They are playing App State today. I thought that they would have been on campus much earlier for a 3:30 p.m. kick.

Post House, this will be happening everywhere.

Averaged 1 pick for every 13 attempts with 54% completion percentage while transition into a new offensive system.













Those were KZ’s stats against FCS South Carolina State in 2018, fwiw.

KJ averaged 1 pick for 14 attempts with a 50% completion percentage against FCS New Hampshire.

All is not lost.

Question. Has anyone watched the Kevin James comedy special? Pretty good.

Honest question. We’d still have an amazing RB room.

The UCF Knights men's soccer team battled ACC foe Wake Forest to a 1-1 draw in Orlando. The Knights were without starting goalkeeper Juanvi Munoz, and lost star forward Lucca Dourado early in the match, but several young players stepped up to help UCF earn the draw. Head Coach Scott Calabrese stressed the importance of next man up after the match.

Again a failure by the students.

So we may not have loved how our first game went in its entirety, but apparently the metrics like us now..ESPN fpi has updated and we moved up 20ish spots, now have the 21st highest fpi and are now favored (with KSU) for the conference championship game. We are also showing a ~20% chance of making the playoff now, only behind KSU.

It seems the metrics are liking the big 12 a lot after week one, with all teams moving up. (ASU and UCF the big movers) while acc and sec dropped a little.

SP+ hasn’t updated yet from what I can tell.

Figured, at least for a while, this would be an interesting thing to track. Hopefully we stay in the game until the end.

He and his brother both died. Terrible.

WVU got blasted at home vs Penn State
Colorado wins a close one against 1-AA school
UCF blows out 1-AA school.
TCU wins a close one at Stanford
Kansas blows out 1-AA school.
Ok State wins against 1-AA school.
Utah blows out 1-AA school.
Cincy Beats 1-AA school.

The XII is 1-1 in FBS games so far. Much better start than last year.

Houston currently losing to the UNLV rebels.

Had a 2-0 set lead, but had to hang on and win it in 5. Had a 8-3 lead in the 5th but costly service errors kept VT in the set. Held on to win 15-13. Great job!

Passed away after a medical emergency while performing.
