If you hit reply and then realize that you don’t want to send a reply or that you hit reply to the wrong post; how can you delete the message without sending?

I end up posting then deleting because I can’t seem to delete before posting.

While I won't get in the debate on which great bowl win (Fiesta, Peach, etc...) are the best or most meaningful...because this win was vs the Gators and some of us live in Gator Country and/or around a lot of Gators (i.e. College Park, Thornton Park, Winter Park, Delaney Park, etc...) or anytime you enter a Walmart Parking Lot, one of the best ways to DIG into every Gator Fan and remind them of their loss is to KNIGHT YOUR RIDE!

Every time you pass a Gator or even better...STOP in front of a Gator at a red light (there is a FREE 2-3 min message) or even best (stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on 408 or I-4 and you remain in front of them for 5 mins...10 mins...maybe 15 mins), your KNIGHT Plate will make them STEW...and maybe, just maybe, a few will even flick you off in the rearview mirror or when they force themselves to pass you.

UCF Plates current sit in 15th place in the State with 33,021 plate sales. (UF sits #3 with 94,585 and FSU sits at #4 with 71,344). Miami is at #19 with 28,342. cow u (I had to scroll way down) is at #37 with 15,037 plates...which means that 23 people turned in their cow u plates since August due to embarrassment.

KNIGHT YOUR RIDE(S)!

KZ is going to be a dad. Good stuff!

Okay, this '3rd grader' level 'narrative' of 'you're either with us or against us' between allegedly '2 sides' has to end. So here me out.

First off, I am a huge Endurance Racing fan. I watch FIA Production-based Grand Touring (GT) and Le Mans Prototype (LMP) endurance racing. The cars are on the track simultaneously, during the same race, but are classed differently. This way everyone participates, but finishes are recorded differently. Why? Because of the specifications. So ...

Secondly, I am a long-time, classic American Libertarian, pro-LGB[[[TQ]+]IA] (from '90s to now, as the acronym has evolved) advocate. I believe in the right of Lia Thomas to compete as whomever she states she is, including as a woman. I am utterly for this, along with Women serving in Marine Expeditionary Forces/Units (MEF/MEU) and Transsexuals serving in the US military, and so many other things.

But just like with the ability to do things like 'carry a 155mm shell' in the MEF/MEU for women, and 'medical readiness' (such as after 'gender reassignment surgery') being a factor for transsexuals, you have to have empirical, 100% science -- 0% political -- evaluations and realities involved. And that means, just like in Endurace Racing, the reality that you have multi-class participants to ensure 'competitiveness.'

Lia Thomas has a right to compete as a woman, with women. This is just reality. We have to accept it.
But for sheer Title IX realities, Lia Thomas must be classified differently -- by literal 'specifications' -- when it comes to records. This is just reality. We *also* have to accept this.

This is not 'bigotry,' this is still 'inclusion,' but yes, it's 'classification,' while not full 'seggregation.'

We have 'full seggregation' for men and women's sports. Why?

Because without 'competitiveness,' women sports will not exist, if they have to compete with men. We purposely 'seggreate' for this reason.

We shouldn't 'seggregate' transgender women (born men) from women. We must 'include' them. But we should 'classify' transgender women differently.

To not do so ... will kill women's sports, and utterly undermine Title IX. It's not bigotry to point out this reality, it's evaluation.

Everyone needs to stop making this a 3rd grader argument with labels. We need to be objective, open minded and not 'cancel' anyone who has such a science-based, empirical viewpoint.

SIDE NOTE: Now 'unequal compensation/exposure' is still an issue with 'seggregation,' and that's a greater issue that I'm actually in the camp with women on, especially as many of their sports are extremely popular. Sadly, very popular women's sports, and even their officials and other participants (non-players), are not being rightfully compensation either. But putting that aside for this issue ...

I love Competing. I will also enter. I do this for Fun. And I will pay. So my Knights let's see your Guess

Official New Mexico thread

It's not a done deal yet but -- GOODNESS GRACIOUS -- is it really possible that the Senate might actually come together enough to pass an infrastructure bill?

This is the most encouraging development I've seen come out of Washington is a LONG time!!! Maybe America can actually get through this God-awful, toxic period in our history.

Was reading a Kemore Gamble thread on the UF board...

This was in reference to Kemore holding up a "National Champions" belt in his OV photo.

I'm obviously pro-vaccine but the extremist views that exist as mainstream thinking in the Democratic party on this topic is incredible.

59% of Democrats want home imprisonment for unvaccinated Americans
48% of Democrats want to imprison people who question vaccines in public
45% of Democrats want the government to send unvaccinated people to detention facilities
47% of Democrats want the government to track unvaccinated people at all times

Thanks to WR Jaylon Griffin's IG. 😂

I'm not sure this is all that different from how schools have operated in recent years. Full contact practices have really scaled back in recent years, really by coach's choice to limit injuries.

==

The Division I Football Oversight Committee on Tuesday recommended two proposals regarding physical contact for spring football practices, effective for 2022.

One proposal would limit full contact (tackling to the ground) to no more than 75 minutes in any one practice period that does not involve a scrimmage.

A separate proposal would prohibit practice sessions that include full contact from occurring on consecutive days.

The recommendations must be approved by the Division I Council, which is scheduled to meet Wednesday on the first day of the 2022 NCAA Convention in Indianapolis.

The Playing and Practice Season Subcommittee examined the issue, and its findings were unanimously supported by the Division I Football Oversight Committee.

The remaining rules for spring football are unchanged:

• Practices can be conducted over a 34-day period with 20 hours per week of unrestricted activities. Players must receive one day off per week.
• 15 on-field practice sessions may be held, with no more than 12 involving contact.
• Full contact may not occur until the third practice.
• Eight of the 12 contact practices can involve tackling, and no more than three of those eight may be devoted to 11-on-11 scrimmages.
• During noncontact practice sessions, headgear may be worn.

ELIGIBILITY
You are eligible to vote in Georgia if you are a
citizen of the United States; a legal resident of
Georgia; at least 18 years old; have not been found
to be mentally incompetent by the court; are not
serving a sentence for a felony of moral turpitude;
are registered to vote; and meet all other state
requirements, such as showing a Photo
Identification if you choose to vote in person or properly
requesting and returning an absentee ballot if you
choose to vote by mail.

Georgia law requires registered voters to show photo
identification in order to vote in person. When you
vote in person, you must show one of the following
photo IDs:
• A Georgia driver’s license, even if expired
• Any valid state or federal government issued
photo ID, including one issued by the
Department of Driver Services or your Voter
Registrar
• Valid U.S. passport
• Valid employee photo ID from any branch,
department, agency, or entity of the U.S.
Government, this state, or any county,
municipality, board, authority or other entity of this
state
• Valid U.S. military photo ID
• Valid tribal photo ID

If you DO NOT have one of these forms of ID, you can
receive a FREE Georgia Voter ID card. Just contact your
county registrar’s office or a Department of Driver
Services office. For more information, call 404-656-2871,
or go to www.sos.ga.gov/elections.

If you do not have a photo I D listed above, you can
still vote by provisional ballot. You have three days
after the election to bring the required photo ID to
your county registrar’s office in order for your
provisional ballot to be counted.

If you have to vote a provisional ballot because you
don’t have one of the forms of Photo ID listed above,
you can go to your county voter registration office,
get a FREE photo ID and present it within three days
after the election and your provisional ballot will be
counted.
If you simply forget your Photo ID, and time permits,
you can retrieve it, return to the polling place, and
vote.

VOTER ASSISTANCE
Voting must be readily accessible to disabled and
elderly voters. If you need special assistance to vote or
to access your polling place, contact your county
registrar’s office.

1. Vote Early in Person: Voters may vote at early
voting locations beginning the 4th Monday prior to the
election. Voters are not required to provide a reason for
voting early. When casting your vote in person, you
must present present an appropriate photo ID. Please
contact your county registrar’s office for early voting
times and locations in your county.

2. Vote By Mail: Voters can request an absentee
ballot 180 days before an election without providing
a reason.

3. Provisional voting allows you to cast a ballot in
person even if all the requirements for doing so
cannot be met at the time. The provisional ballot will
count if the problem is solved within three days after
Election Day.
The three reasons for voting a provisional ballot are:
1. You are unable to show one of the required
forms of photo ID when you vote in person;
2. When you first registered to vote in Georgia,
you registered by mail, did not provide any
identification at that time, and are unable to
present acceptable identification the first time
you vote in person; or
3. Your name does not appear on the list of
registered voters in the precinct.

Sending the UCF Twittersphere abuzz this morning was this photo of sweet kicks, which at first I believed were the footwear of UF TE transfer Kemore Gamble who is here on his official visit this weekend. But in actuality they were Kelvin Bolden's kicks, excited over Gamble's visit. Bolden is wearing white shoes today.

Perhaps the notion that it was closer to a done deal was a tad premature, but there is still a chance to get him enrolled for the spring semester if he is ready to finalize the process although that door is closing given admission deadlines.

The clock is ticking on transfer portal additions for spring, but UCF is making a strong push for Florida TE Kemore Gamble. He's was UF's starting TE this past season with 31 catches for 414 yards and four touchdowns. He has one remaining year of eligibility as a "Super Senior."

I made a post in November about the 2018 class.


We already knew 2021 was looking like the worst ever. UCF signed a total of 20 players between high school and JUCO.

Here's the status on the 20... three players played significantly or at least appear to have a prominent future. Seven players either didn't play (one injured) or redshirted. And 10 are already gone, many of whom didn't even make it to the season. There have been three postseason portal entries (Titus, Kaedin, Browder).

QB Mikey Keene - earned backup job before elevated to starter after DG got injured
DB Brandon Adams - played significantly at corner, started six games
S William Wells - played as a reserve, though coaches limited him to four games played to maintain redshirt

WR Jaylon Griffin - minimal contributor (one catch the entire season)
DB Trevion Shadrick-Harris - Played special teams in one game
DE Malachi Lawrence - suffered season-ending injury in preseason
OL Ethan Mort - redshirted
DT Matthew Alexander - redshirted
RB Anthony Williams - redshirted
LB Cole Joyce - redshirted

WR Titus Mokiao-Atimalala - Postseason Portal
WR Kaedin Robinson - Postseason Portal
TE Charlie Browder - Postseason Portal
DB Chad Brown - Portal (didn't make it to the season)
TE Nathan Boerboom - Portal (didn't make it to the season)
DE Jae'Vien Gill - Portal (didn't make it to the season)
DT Anthony Hundley - Portal (didn't make it to the season)
DB Ronnie Hamrick - Never enrolled at UCF, was let out of NLI and signed with Texas State
DT Zyin Thomas - Disappeared, never made it on campus or went to the portal
OL Leander Wiegand - Quit late in the season, went back to Germany

Not sure if this has been posted yet. JJB has posted this on Facebook.
