I do think scheduling will impact standings in the end...as what 4 teams will everyone miss playing...plus, will some get the toughest conf games at home or mostly on the road?

This is hazy but I was trying to remember details about this. Does anyone who was at UCF during 2005-2006ish era remember when beer was like, $4 for a case of bud light for a little bit?

I think it was due to the hurricanes in Louisiana - beer got redirected to Florida and they had to blow it out to get rid of it.

I remember I had fraternity brothers who built thrones out of cases of bud light over the course of a few weeks. I was in libra, it was my freshman year and everyone on our floor had a shitload of beer hidden under their beds

Does this ring a bell to anyone? I’m not making this up am I? I distinctly remember that weird grocery store that was on the corner of colonial and alafaya was the hot spot because they didn’t card

Saw the final show today in Tampa...4th row seats!!!

Fun time...(saw it on Disney+ but 100 times better in person).

The War on I4, hoops edition, tips off on Saturday. "I believe you will see an angry, hungry UCF squad take their frustrations out on a struggling USF bunch", writes John Weis for the Sons of UCF.

I usually don’t watch a lot of our women’s squad outside of the War on I-4 and tournaments, but holy sheot is this how bad we’ve gotten?

Earlier in the year I seem to remember UCF sent out a mailing that if you donated (I think it was $25) they would send you a space game patch. I also seem to remember making the donation, but I never received a patch. Did anybody get a Space Game Patch. I can not seem to find any 2022 patches for sale. I have all the others and would like this one. If anybody has an extra they would sell I would be interested, or if anybody knows who I could contact at UCF about getting one (I would pay for it). Thanks.

I’m on Navy orders this weekend to MacDill AFB in Tampa. Do people have any recommendations for dinner, stuff to see in the late afternoon/evening?

Thanks…

Why they have to do my man like this though?

In the past 24 hours I've seen 3 media articles calling us "The Golden Knights".

What decade are we in?

I can confirm one of the players Koby Perry is referring to:

Texas A&M DB transfer Brian George. He visited UCF a couple weeks ago and Houston the week after. Originally from Florida (Glades Central).

Saturday marks what could be the penultimate men's basketball game in the War on I-4 when UCF travels to Tampa to take on South Florida. Tip off is set for 12 noon on ESPNU.

With UCF moving to the Big 12 next season and Bulls staying behind in the American, the future of the rivalry is in doubt. UCF head coach Johnny Dawkins stated there are no future games currently scheduled with South Florida beyond this season.

"We don't know as of yet," Dawkins said when asked whether games with South Florida would continue once UCF joins the Big 12. "We'll have to wait and see. We're concentrating on what's going on in the present for us. In the future, we'll evaluate what we do and see what's best for our program."

Typically, basketball non-conference schedules are finalized during the offseason. It's a much different process than football which schedules games years and sometimes decades in advance.

Dawkins went on to say he does like to play in-state teams. UCF played Florida State, Miami and Stetson in their non-conference slate this season.

"I think it's a great rivalry," Dawkins said. "I think it's good for our state. I love playing our in-state schools. I think it's good for all of us. We have a huge state and a lot of terrific teams. I think it's good for everyone to do that."

The Knights are 13-5 overall and 4-2 in the American Athletic Conference. Houston leads the pack with a perfect 6-0 league record while UCF is among five teams with two losses. The Knights are coming off a tough 77-69 road loss at Tulane last Saturday.

"We have to defend without fouling," Dawkins said. "I thought we sent (Tulane) to the line too many times. We have to take care of the basketball. I thought we had too many turnovers in that game. It's tough to win on the road if you turn the ball over and you're sending the other team to the free throw line. That makes it difficult."

UCF's offense is led by a balanced attack, with four players scoring in double figures: Taylor Hendricks (14.4 points per game), C.J. Kelly (12.3 points), Ithiel Horton (11.8 points) and Darius Johnson (11.8 points).

However, Johnson has missed the last three games due to an injury and his status for this game is questionable.

"Darius is still day to day," Dawkins said. "As of right now, he's still recovering."

Jayhlon Young has been UCF's primary point guard in Johnson's absence.

"We've got to get back to our defense," Young said. "I think this was a good week of preparation."

Lately, the Knights have seen a big contribution from Tyem Freeman. He was limited with concussion issues early in the season, but has seen his minutes increase in recent games. He scored a career-high 22 points at Tulane, which Freeman says was a big confidence boost.

"It helps me build confidence just to know I can compete in this league," Freeman said. "I can be one of the players that sees the floor and can provide for the team. It gives me the confidence to stop thinking, quit hesitating. Just be free and let it all out."

The Bulls, meanwhile, are 8-11 overall and 1-5 in the American. Their lone conference win came in an 81-70 victory at East Carolina. South Florida's leading scorer is Tyler Harris, a transfer from Memphis, who is averaging 16.3 points per game.

"(Tyler Harris is a) very good basketball player," Dawkins said. "Really good guard who's had a lot of success in our conference. He's a threat all the time. He has unlimited range. He can shoot the basketball, but he can also get to the basket and make plays for himself and others. Terrific player. He's having a really good year. He's someone we have to make sure we're focused on."

UCF has a former South Florida player on their roster in center Michael Durr. However, Durr is out for the next several weeks while he recovers from a hand injury. Jayhlon Young says Durr briefed the UCF newcomers about the rivalry.

"Durr told me (South Florida's mindset is) they have to win this game," Young said. "They could lose the next six and not really care, but they have to win this. It's very important. We have to be locked in and make sure we get the dub."

UCF hosts South Florida on Wednesday, Feb. 22. Unless the teams meet again in the conference tournament, it could be the final meeting for a while.

Interesting and not as surprising if you think about it.

I know we have all seen them before, the painted Stop in a parking lot. No sign, just a Stop painted on the ground.

Are these to be treated as a Stop sign or is it optional to stop? Serious question because I don't know.

I always stop but see many people ignore them. Prob pissed off a lot of you boomer haters behind me but IDGAF.

Made a post on his IG saying #33 out 🫶🏾.

Don’t see anyone talking about it though🤷🏻‍♂️
