If it’s really down to Odom or Frost…

UCF must be the worst job in college football and we’re so blinded by our fandom we didn’t realize it


Im all in on frost if that’s the guy. Him or a random p4 coordinator is a wash imo, and he at least is passionate about UCF and would get fans excited. But damn. Brandon’s last poll really hits home how low we’ve fallen as a program

OT: Thieves steal $107,625 from UCF in sophisticated hacking scheme

Pay walled:

Snippet:
Thieves stole $107,625 from the University of Central Florida by hacking into a vendor’s computers, tricking officials into transmitting money to a bogus bank account then swamping the school’s email system so it didn’t notice warnings about the fraud, according to a newly released audit.

By the time the university realized 12 days later that it had been victimized, nearly all the money had vanished. There were no reports of arrests in the case.

A newly released report from Florida’s auditor general spelled out details of the sophisticated theft, which happened in May. Even after the fraud, the auditor said the university was still transmitting payments to vendor bank accounts before they could be verified.

OT: Florida may go to Daylight Savings Time year round


Congress has to approve, but Florida wants to go to DST year round. If approved, the entire state would also move into the same time zone. Currently, the panhandle west of Tallahassee is on CST.

Basically from March-October, Florida would be on the same time as EST. And from November through February, when everybody else goes back to "standard time," Florida wouldn't change and be one hour ahead of EST. I guess they'd call it FST or something like that.

===

Should Florida keep Daylight Saving Time all year? It could happen.

Florida lawmakers in the Sunshine State want to legislate more working, learning and playing time in the sunshine.

Two bills, called the “Sunshine Protection Act,” would ask Congress to give the state permission to make Daylight Saving Time permanent year-round. The proposals, SB 858 and HB 1013, each passed their first Senate and House committees unanimously this week.

If Congress agrees, Florida would join two other states that have exempted themselves from the 1966 law that set a uniform time for all time zones across the country. Hawaii and most of Arizona are on Standard Time year-round.

Under federal law, the U.S. Department of Transportation is charged with setting time zones but allows states to exempt themselves from Daylight Saving Time, if Congress approves. Daylight Saving Time (when you set your clocks ahead one hour) runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.

The practical impact of that change would mean that on the Winter Solstice — that’s the day in the Northern Hemisphere with the least amount of daylight — sunrise in Florida would be at about 8 a.m. and sunset would be at about 6:30 p.m. instead of 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. like it is now.

The Senate version of the bill also moves the western part of the state, which is in Central Time, into the Eastern Time zone, if Congress approves.

OT: Norvell "forced" to take $4.5 paycut to help fund NIL

After FSU's horrific 2-10 season...Norvell, who had just signed an insane $80 Million guaranteed contract last year...had to take a shave off his insane salary after last year's train wreck of a season.

FSU is spining it as a positive but FSU is trying to right their ship after getting caught in such a horrible contract situation (couldn't fire him).

How many wins to get into March Madness?

Currently sitting at 8-2 with a Net Ranking of 90, KenPom of 80

One last game against JU. Should be a relatively easy W.

20 game conference schedule.

Current Records against Quadrants

Q1 : 1-1
Q2 : 0-1
Q3 : 3-0
Q4 : 4-0

Games left against respective Quadrants

Q1 : 11
Q2 : 6
Q3 : 3
Q4 : 1

Assuming we beat Jacksonville we wouldn’t have any “bad” losses. We’d be 9-2 going into conference play.

In my opinion going 8-12 in conference play would likely put us on the bubble. 9-11 maybe in?

Therefore I would say we have to get to 17/18 wins to reach that goal. What do you think?

In case you’ve also reached the point in your life where you buy everything you want yourself because you have specific taste in everything so your family just buys you UCF shit at the holidays because you’re impossible to shop for otherwise
