I welcome you

I don't even know what to say. How does this happen?

I guess our only game is the 3 pointer. If another team covers us on the 3, we're beat?

Tiny track. But with declining fans they are trying to get urban fans. Stopped race for Icecube concert. Winner gets 2 million and they stop it for a concert.

You really can't make it up any better than they do.

Texas Tech hosts Texas tomorrow night. HC Chris Beard left TTU for UT this past offseason. Students have been camping out for days and just "greeted" the incoming Texas bus.

What's at stake for Big 12 football in 2022

I think we're all going to be looking at Big 12 games with more interest this year.

Even though the Big 12’s membership won’t change in 2022, it still feels like the league has a lot to prove to the national media and potential telecast partners. The league needs its best teams to find a way into playoff contention, and the league needs those best teams to be anyone but Oklahoma or Texas.
....
The Big 12 also needs strong seasons from its incoming members. Cincinnati almost certainly will not be able to return to the playoffs, but the Big 12 is hoping the Bearcats don’t fall off the map.

Houston and BYU could both be in for big seasons, and that would help the New Big 12’s cred a great deal. Meanwhile, UCF will be looking to bounce back after a season that was good but not up to its standards.

Here are the latest updated overall recruiting rankings (includes Jan Transfer Portal enrollees and even late signing guys from Wed).

UCF is #1 in AAC...some 13 pts higher than Cincinnati:

UCF's 211 pt class would ranked #3 in New Big 12: (NOTE: BYU's class has 193 pts...but sometimes thats hard to grade as they have some 23 and 24 yr old guys who have completed their 2 year mission trips that were signed years ago but are now the size of giants)

Based on the other thread and the idea of requiring players to wear suits walking into the stadium, do you still wear suits in your regular wardrobe rotation? We'll exclude special occasions from the poll (weddings, funerals, etc.) and just to keep it to everyday use (work, personal life, etc.).

I'm being told Ole Miss QB transfer John Rhys Plumlee is currently visiting UCF.

UCF is still considered the favorite, though Missouri is also involved and making a push. Not a done deal yet.

This whole deal is ridiculous. I dont necessarily agree with her take on the holocaust not being about race, because the Nazis said that there was a superior one, but she made a valid point worthy of discussion. Judaism isn't a race. People with disabilities are not a race. Why is it off-limits to discuss the subtleties and complexities of what happened? It's kind of like the story about how Anne Frank died; people just think she was thrown in an oven, even though she died from typhus. How and why is that a controversial thing to say?

The project was kick-started thanks to a $50 million donation from 1958 alumnus Garry Weber’s foundation.

One hopes that in the near future some of our College of Engineering and Computer Science grads can start hitting it big with unicorn startup companies and slide some cash our way. UCF football is fighting a difficult uphill battle without big time boosters like these.

Stole from Twitter, what does everyone think?

Kobe Hudson, who was Auburn's No. 1 receiver last season, recently made the move to reunite with Gus Malzahn at UCF in Orlando. Last week he appeared at his first UCF press conference.

"I made the decision because when I went to Auburn, Coach T-Will and Gus made me feel at home," Hudson said. "I already had a relationship with them from my freshman year at Auburn, so I felt this would be a good place because I know they care about the kids on the team."

The former LaGrange (Ga.) Troup star didn't know much though about UCF prior to entering the transfer portal.

"I believe in Coach Gus," Hudson said. "I put my all into him and I know he's gonna put his all into me. It was a no-brainer. I really didn't know too much, but I know wherever Coach Gus is it's going to be a winning program."

In 2021, Hudson led the Tigers with 44 catches for 580 yards and four touchdowns. The addition gives UCF a formidable returning group between Hudson, Ryan O'Keefe and Jaylon Robinson.

"As a receiving corps, we're all different," Hudson said. "We've got guys fast guys, guys that can go up and catch and we've got route runners... Jaylon is fast and plays bigger than he is. O'Keefe is fast. I think the receiving corps can be one of the best in the country."

He did see parts of UCF's win against Florida in the Gasparilla Bowl.

"I watched a little bit of it," Hudson said. "I know O'Keefe had a good game. That showed me they can compete with anybody in the country. Florida is a SEC school with a lot of good athletes."

Right now, Hudson is slated to wear No. 2 this season though his preferred number has always been No. 5 (he was wearing a 5 pendant at the press conference). At UCF, the No. 5 currently belongs to running back Isaiah Bowser.

"Me and Zay, we're really cool, but I'm trying to talk him out of (No. 5)," Hudson said. "He's wishy washy. He's like, 'I'm gonna give it to you' one day and the next day he doesn't want to give it to you."

Hudson will have three seasons of eligibility remaining.

Before I go further in this, I wanted to mention that I know Heupel did us no favors with his recruiting and UCF had to take on more transfers than usual.

I can't be the only one slightly disappointed with only 14 high school kids, a rivals ranking of 53 and a 247 ranking of 52.

For the "best recruiting class in UCF history", it sure does feel like we're still not there yet with recruiting.

FSU - 20
UF - 24
UM - 34
UCF - 53

Rivals 4 and 5 stars:

Watching the olympic tonight and I started a discussion, with my buddies, my doorman, and my two bosses (full transparency they play in the NBA so they are little biased)

I threw Michael Phelps’ name in the ring – they all kinda said no). Other names that were thrown into the ring

Tiger Woods
Bo Jackson
Mike Tyson
LBJ
Wilt Chamberlain

The bosses know I HATE LBJ on the court (GO BULLS) but he said overall talent wise – LBJ would be dominate in football, soccer, or swimming if he started at young age like Phelps.

Who would you say and why?

Here at the Magic game and it looks like no progress has been made in 2021. Is this still happening?

The spring roster is now posted with all the newcomers and new number assignments.

The new players:

2 - DT Lee Hunter
2 - WR Kobe Hudson
4 - DB Koby Perry
8 - TE Kemore Gamble
9 - RB Jordan McDonald
10 - LB Terrence Lewis
10 - QB John Rhys Plumlee
12 - QB Thomas Castellanos
21 - DB Nikai Martinez
35 - K Colton Boomer
47 - DE K.D. McDaniel
71 - OL Tylan Grable
72 - OL Ryan Swoboda
88 - TE Grant Stevens

There are actually three No. 10's listed - DB William Wells is the third.

There are also a couple number changes.

0 - RB Johnny Richardson (was 25)
13 - QB Mikey Keene (was 16)

I also just noticed punter Alan Kervin was no longer listed on the roster. He was the starting holder.
