Saturday College Football Thread (Arizona schools in late window) 🏈

Not a hugely compelling slate today... Most Big 12 games are vs. FCS, the notable exception being the Big Noon Kickoff game between WVU and Penn State. Houston won't have a cakewalk with UNLV. The Arizona schools play MWC schools in the late window.

Miami vs. Florida obviously the big one in the afternoon.

Mikey Keene in the Big House tonight.

REPORT: UCF Men's Basketball outdoes Purdue FW, 75-68

The UCF Knights men's basketball team notched their second win of the season in a hard fought game against Purdue Fort-Wayne. Despite a putrid output from the three point line, the Knights made some timely baskets and got stops down the stretch. Freshman big man Moustahpha Thiam really impressed coach Johnny Dawkins with his composure and shot making in the second half.

My 25,000th Post in The Dungeon

Ever since I was a little kid I’ve been fascinated with the concept of statistics and the story they could tell. It all started in the second grade with a pack of Topps baseball trading cards I got at the Scholastic book fair. Turned over an Atlanta Braves Chipper Jones card and read a snapshot of his young budding career: Games played, batting average, homerun totals, RBI etc.

I’ve always wondered how cool it would be if you get could get a data pull of any random statistic about your life:

How many miles have you walked?

How many slices of pizza have you consumed?

How many beers have you had watching sports?

I glanced up this week and realized I was coming up on my 25,000th post in the Dungeon. This is a place I’ve been a part of since my junior year at UCF. Have connected with some great people here. I was gonna pull together a TOP 25 ranking of my favorite posters but it was so damn hard. I see why college football writers just fill in with their gut and bias and adjust accordingly as the season goes on.

Consider this some semblance of a Top 10 and then shoutouts to some good people. Bound to miss some folks but it’s all love.

@Brandon Thank you brother. We have had our arc and I'm proud to call you a friend.

@CostSegAdvisor Fly high my brother. Would have loved to seen your takes in this era of UCF Athletics.

@UCF_Video I always enjoy your nuanced takes and in-depth look at collegiate athletics.

2017 team vs 2024 who wins?

Interesting discussion I had with a friend. A lot of talk about how much harder it is to play in the big 12 than the AAC.

Would you say the level of talent we have on the current team would beat the 2017 team? Or was the 2017 team special enough to beat this team regardless?

Who would win more if the scenario were run a thousand times?

What matchups would you like to see in that game?

OT: Passport renewal

Has anybody used the online passport renewal option?

My passport does not expire until 8/2025. I am traveling to Portugal in Feb/2025. I read online that my passport has to be valid at least 90days after my travel, so I am fine there. I am trying to decide should I try to renew now, they say it should not take longer than 6-8 weeks or wait until I get back. I am concerned that if anything goes wrong with the renewal I may not get it back in time. I am also concerned that with a new administration may come new passport regulations so it might be harder to renew after. (Not a political statement, just a concern, if state department ends up busy with other stuff it could slow the passport process down).

Moustapha Thiam is looking to make a big impact for UCF Basketball

The UCF Knights basketball team got a big boost when true freshman center Moustapha Thiam reclassified to join the program a year early. Standing 7'2", Thiam will bring an imposing presence in the lane for a UCF team that needs solid rim protection.

Nov 8, 2024, 07:35 PM ET

Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo will not play in Saturday's game against UCF, sources confirmed to ESPN on Friday.

Skattebo, who has rushed for 1,001 yards and a touchdown this season, has a severe shoulder sprain, sources told ESPN. He leads the Big 12 in all-purpose yards, averaging 175.6 yards per game, and has two receiving TDs as well.

The senior became the first Arizona State player since 2015 to have more than 100 yards rushing and receiving in the same game during the Sun Devils' 42-21 victory over Oklahoma State last Saturday.

UCF Women upset Marquette: 57-50

After a little slow start, UCF used their long length to dominate Iona tonight.

Peterson lead UCF in scoring (again) with 22 with Super Freshmen Rodriquez (from the DR) scored 13 pts in her collegiate debut.

Knights have another home game on Thur Night vs Marquette, which will be a very tough test.
