I don’t know why, but feel like someone on here probably knows what’s going on here. Freaking crazy that is down this long and no one is saying anything.

One of the talking points I hear over and over and OVER again from rank and file Republicans is the crisis at the border. And it IS a crisis---we need to do something.

I have been encouraged that Senate Republicans like GOP Whip John Thune had been working hard behind-the-scenes to put together a bipartisan border security bill. The word is it would put 14 billion dollars into seriously beefing up border security. I was shocked to hear that they've worked out a deal---during an election year no less---and Biden has said he'll sign it. It actually sounded like Congress was...gasp!... actually doing its job.

B-B-But wait a second. Donald Trump has weighed in that it's a 'bad' deal. A bad deal compared to....what? Doing nothing??? Trump says he'll take care of it in a day once he's back in office. Oooooookay....didn't he have four years to take care of it before? Remember the cornerstone of his 2016 campaign? The Wall!!! How much of it got built? Regardless, it sounds like the new Speaker of the House (Trump's new toadie) is set to rally the MAGAs in the House to kill it.

But you can be assured that the MAGA Crowd will continue using border security as a campaign issue. Yet another crass example of playing politics over helping the country.

I’ve got an overnight in Dallas next week. Happens to land on my 35th bday. I’ll be workin during the day and going to the Mavs game at night but will have time for dinner and out after.

Any good spots to hit?

Caveats- it’ll be a Tuesday night

KU is vulnerable on the road, but they never lose at home-- until tonight.

Price per ticket drops when you buy more of them.

For those that can't make the game or don't want to forget to do it inside the arena, here is the link:

March madness nears! Coming to the end of regular season. UCF plays Oklahoma State tonight (Wednesday). Both teams need to win for conf tourny positioning and possible NIT bid.

KU trails Houston by 3 games with 3 to play: ‘We weren’t going to win the league’​

The race for the top spot appears to be a two-way battle between Houston (12-3) and Iowa State (10-4).


Baylor, like KU, is tied for third at 9-6, followed by Texas Tech, BYU and TCU (all 8-7), Oklahoma (7-7), Texas and Kansas State (7-8), UCF (5-9), Cincinnati (5-10), Oklahoma State (4-10) and West Virginia (4-11).

Not one of 18 incoming freshmen is projected to be a starter. That is amazing. Sure, some guys will letter (i.e., appear in 2/3s of games), but EVERY SIGNEE is pegged to be a backup, to play special teams player, or to redshirt.

Not a single player off the highest-rated class in school history will be depended on to start as a true freshman.

That is indicative of the caliber of offseason the Knights had.

Billy really does not want to lose to UCF this year.

My group has an extra pair for tomorrow night (2/29 at 7 pm) against Taylor Hendricks and his Utah Jazz.

Section 104 (behind the Jazz bench so he can hear us chant UCF). These are below face value. Message me if interested.

Asking face value of $40. Avoid the fees. GKCO!

I would really like to take my family - or at least my oldest son - to a Magic game.

Do any Dungeon-eers have season tickets for a game they have to miss?

I'm not looking for a deal or a hand-out. I'll happily pay full price.

Thanks!

I do my best to stay away from here but I'm going to meet my niece this weekend for lunch. Any recommendations? She's still a toddler when it comes to food so nothing too crazy. If I let her pick it will be a McD.

FYI, the written and video are a little different. This is long overdue.

One of Cincinnati's best defensive players will be suiting up for the Black & Gold for his final season of eligibility.

Deshawn Pace, a defensive back/linebacker hybrid, transferred to UCF in January. He's been a key starter for the Bearcats for the last several years.

During his 2021 sophomore year in which Cincinnati advanced to the College Football Playoff, Pace finished third on the team and sixth in the AAC with 94 tackles to go along with a team-high four interceptions.

In 2022, Pace recorded 62 tackles with five TFLs. And in 2023, he was Cincinnati's leading tackler with 80 stops.

Orlando represents a big change for Pace, who also grew up in Cincinnati. He and his older brother Ivan Pace Jr. were star players at Colerain High School, which is about 10 miles from the UC campus. (Ivan Pace Jr., who began his career at Miami-Ohio, transferred to Cincinnati in 2022 and was the AAC Defensive Player of the Year. He just finished his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings).

"Coming from Ohio, you always dream about living down here in Florida," Pace said. "I had the opportunity here, so I took it."

What else stood out to him about UCF?

"I didn't know Coach (Gus) Malzahn had beat Nick Saban three times," Pace said. "That really impressed me big time."

Pace said Cincinnati definitely viewed UCF as a rival.

"When that week came, you've got to buckle in and lock in for the game," Pace said.

In 2022 at the Bounce House, UCF broke Cincinnati's three-game winning streak in the series with a 25-21 victory, clinched by RJ Harvey's touchdown in the final minute. What did he remember about that game?

"The crowd was jumping, the house was bouncing," Pace said. "I liked that... I want the Bounce House cheering for me this time."

Pace played the "star" position at Cincinnati, which will likely be similar to his UCF role.

"I'm an athlete, I can play anywhere on the field," Pace said. "Wherever the coach needs me, I'll be there... They told me they want me rotating down from the nickel spot to will linebacker. I'll be more versatile."

How would he describe his play on the field?

"I got that dog in me," Pace said. "If you see 3 out there, don't go that way."

He's actually the third Cincinnati player to transfer to UCF this spring. Joining him in Orlando are fellow defensive back Bryon Threats and running back Myles Montgomery.

"It fell in place for us," Pace said. "God gave us the opportunity and we all took it."

He described what Threats brings to the table.

"That's my boy," Pace said. "He's crazy, man. You never know what's going to pop off with him. You've got be on your Ps and Qs."

Looking ahead to his final season, Deshawn Pace sees big things ahead.

"We definitely got what it takes to compete," Pace said. "We got dogs everywhere on the field. I came here because we got dogs. That was one of the main reasons. I knew what we were bringing in and what Coach Gus Malzahn brings to the table."

"I'm real excited. We got a big opportunity here. We can do a lot this year. We can go a long way. I'm just happy to be here and ready to get going."

A perfect second week of the season for the Knights, resulting in 43 runs scored in four victories that included a mid-week victory on Wednesday and a weekend sweep over two teams that made regional brackets last year. Mind you, two of those games ended early [7th inning Friday, Sunday] due to the Knights invoking the run-rule.
