Still nothing available other than the Gasparilla site. Anyone find this odd it’s taking so long to make shirts available?

I have 2 tix in the club tomorrow night but want to bring both my kids so Im looking for 1 more if anyone is looking to get rid of one.

First…I apologize in advance for not catching on and I know the Dungeon will let me know how much of an idiot I am 😎…but a couple of guys came into my local watering hole a few hours ago and ordered three beers. I thought they told the bartender to go ahead and pour the third (when she said she’d pour it when the third got there) and he’d drink it when he got there. Fast forward a couple of hours and they have a couple of beers…cash out and leave. The third beer is still sitting there untouched. I turn to my buddy and say that’s weird that they would order a beer for someone not here and then he doesn’t show to have it. My buddy said the beer was for those that didn’t make it back and that he noticed the KIA (he thinks) jacket on one of the guys. So now I feel like an idiot for not hearing the full conversation and also for not catching on to the gear to recognize they were Veterans. I would have covered their tab as a small token of thanks for their sacrifice to our country…so it got me thinking…what other things could I be missing where I’d have the chance to thank a Veteran and missed it?

Four-star 2023 DT John Walker gives an overall update and covers his relationship with UCF's staff.

3’s we’re raining down in the first half.

UH was in control of the game late in 2nd Half but Memphis went on a run and hit some FTs to end the streak, 69-59.

UH hadn't lost a home game since Dec 2019.

UH loses 2 straight games for the first time in 5 years.

Memphis has now won 5 in a row and sits 8-4 in Conf play while UH falls to 9-2.

Interesting data and methods to maintain assistant coaches in SEC and beyond…

I had to grab something at the Oviedo Target earlier this afternoon and then happened to take the road surrounding the Oviedo Mall in order to exit the area. A jogger was going by on the sidewalk and I'm like, lol, that looks like Mario Verduzco. And it was!

Frost fired him after this past season (basically purged everybody on offense except for Beckton) and I'm guessing he moved back to the area because who wants to live in Nebraska. I think he kept his house here.

Should Gus bring him on staff in some capacity?

Crazy dirty play. If I had been the opposing Coach, I would have lost my mind over this.

Long time coming. Our family was blessed with a future Knight! Scary that I turn 49 a couple months after the baby is born.

Per UCFKnights.com…


ORLANDO, Fla. – The UCF softball team is set to begin its 2022 season against a competitive field in The CFX Classic. The Knights will start the campaign by hosting No. 12 Georgia on Thursday at 6 p.m., followed by meetings with Minnesota, Fresno State and Longwood throughout the weekend.

The Black and Gold are looking to improve on what was a great 2021 season. The Knights finished the year with a 41-19-1 record, reaching the final of the American Athletic Conference Championship as well as the NCAA Tallahassee Regional. It was the first time since 2015 that a Knight team has eclipsed the 40-win mark. UCF earned three wins over top five teams, beating No. 2 Arizona 2-0 and sweeping No. 5 Florida in an in-season home-and-home, earning 8-6 and 7-0 victories. The Black and Gold finished the year just outside of the NFCA Top 25, receiving votes in the final poll of 2021.



Lets Go Ladies…



I‘m headed out to the game now…

No surprise that the SEC is #1 but the 10 team Big 12 falls right in the middle at #3.

NFL Combine Invite per conf team:
SEC: 5.9 per team (82 players)
Big Ten: 3.9 (54)
Big 12: 3.5 (35)
Pac-12: 3.0 (36)
ACC: 2.4 (34)

Now we know what they've been doing instead of finishing Knight Flicks.*

For MC, they basically are looking for a John Evans replacement.

Stadium:

Memphis coach Penny Hardaway welcomed in two of the most talented freshmen in the country, a Hall of Fame coach and yet is on track to a fourth consecutive season without an NCAA Tournament appearance.

Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing sits in the cellar of the Big East with an 0-10 record. He’s suffered more than twice as many Big East setbacks (54) than wins (26) and hasn’t been able to make his alma mater relevant beyond a three-day stretch last March in the Big East Tournament.

Jerry Stackhouse has struggled to rack up SEC victories in three years since taking over a Vanderbilt program that went to eight NCAA Tournaments from 2004-17.

That trio is likely to join the lengthy list of former NBA players who haven’t exactly thrived in the college coaching ranks.

Alabama is looking to move out of their 54 year old 15,000 seat coliseum with poor sight lines and build a new $183 Million 10,136 seat arena that puts 2,200 students seats surrounding 3 sides of the court. (Makes for great TV viewing atmosphere plus makes those sections collapsible so they can convert it to a gymnastics floor for competition...which is big $$ in the SEC).

Of course this follows Auburn's lead who moved out of their old Coliseum and built a new 9,300 seat Arena...and the success that has followed that move.

Old 15,300 seat Bama Coliseum:

Cornerback Davonte Brown, who was UCF's top defensive performer in 2021 with a team-best 82.3 PFF season grade, sees big things ahead for his upcoming junior season.

"I feel we can run the table this year," Brown said. "We have a good-enough team .We added a lot of pieces to help us in different areas. I think this year is gonna be our year."

Starting all 13 games, Brown led UCF with 13 pass breakups with three of those coming in the Gasparilla Bowl win against Florida.

"I'd say I'm more confident on the field," Brown said when asked where he made the most improvement. "Knowing what I'm supposed to do, executing the assignment and having fun out there."

What does he want to personally accomplish in 2022?

"On a personal level, I just want to continue to up my play," Brown said. "Help others around me. Teach others. Show them what I've learned and try to be the best player and teammate I can be."

As for Sunday's Super Bowl clash between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals, Brown didn't hesitate when asked to make a pick.

"I'm taking the Rams," he said. "They've got defense with Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey, Von Miller. They're gonna be tough. I like Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase, but I think the Rams are gonna step it up."
