    Bowl Season Alternative

    Less is more. I would love there to be only about 20 bowl games (all conference champs get an auto bid to a bowl game and any 8 win team is eligible for an at-large berth). Play the first game on Christmas Eve (Hawaii Bowl) and play all the other games between Dec. 27 and Jan. 1st. I would be...

    Sacks and TFLs

    I thought the oline blocked well for Keene against Cincy and Memphis. Don’t recall how they did against USF because I was in a stupor over the team’s collective meltdown. The only game I recall where UCF’s protection consistently broke down was against Navy. Otherwise, if a QB has 2-3 seconds of...

    Sacks and TFLs

    I’m not saying we have a great Oline but the criticism I often hear from fans when they watch a game and see the QB under lots of pressure is that the oline is the problem. But that criticism fails to take into account that it’s the QB’s positioning within the pocket, or decision to leave the...

    UCF vs Louisville game thread ⚔️🖤💛

    JRP might make a decent transition slot receiver a la Jeff Godfrey. I’m serious, let the young guys develop as the QBs and find a way to utilize Plumlee’s athleticism. Just don’t ask him to run the offense because his accuracy and decision-making just aren’t there and he’s in his fourth year.

    UCF vs Louisville game thread ⚔️🖤💛

    Plumlee looks like an athlete trying to play QB—not a QB. You can’t just rely on sheer athleticism at this level. I don’t know if there’s a better option to turn to but I don’t see UCF competing for a conference championship with such pedestrian QB play. But awesome game by the defense. They’ll...

    Roe v Wade overturned

    Suicide is illegal, but we don’t treat those who attempt and fail as criminals. They are treated in a hospital—even against their will. If it were legal then there would be no legal basis to detain the perpetrator.

    Roe v Wade overturned

    No exception for incest because you are punishing the wrong person. The child did nothing wrong and does not deserve the a death warrant. On the other hand, the incestuous rapist should be arrested and prosecuted for what he did. (As an interesting aside, has legal abortion and the sex...

    Roe v Wade overturned

    I can’t answer every question due to time limitations but as to the main questions: I don’t believe there should be an exception based on rape or life of the mother. Those exceptions swallow the rule. The only permissive killing of an unborn baby would be of the death was a secondary result of...

    Roe v Wade overturned

    First, everyone can’t do what they want with their own body. Otherwise suicide would be legal. It’s not. Second, with abortion we’re talking about two human bodies. Two heartbeats. Two minds. Two sets of DNA. An abortion kills one of those lives. So it’s not what a woman is doing with her body...

    Roe v Wade overturned

    Great post. Thoughtful and respectful. We spend too much energy criticizing people with different opinions (instead of challenging the substance of the opinion), and respond with sophomoric memes, but rarely commend those who exercise a little self-restraint by choosing not to become an internet...

    Roe v Wade overturned

    Shuckster, back in 2019 you said you could agree with a law banning abortions at 10 weeks. You thought it was a fair compromise between conception and viability. But now, it sounds like you’re against any law that prohibits abortion at any stage of pregnancy. Is your new position based on a...

    Rittenhouse trial is over before it begins

    A few points in response: KR is not a public figure for purposes of defamation. Just because everyone knows who he is does not make him a public figure. He didn’t intentionally put himself into the public consciousness—the media did that by covering the case. That means the standard he has to...

    Tre'mon Morris-brash is back on the team

    I'm definitely not saying that. You consent to perform all tests of sobriety in exchange for obtaining a DL; it's a deal that you make with the DMV and I would never recommend someone violate a legally binding agreement they have made. Plus, not cooperating results in a DL suspension and could...

    Tre'mon Morris-brash is back on the team

    I think I agree with most of what you’re saying but just one small caveat: if you ask for a lawyer before you are placed under arrest on suspicion of DUI then the officer does not have to cease his investigation/interrogation. Miranda applies during custodial interrogation, but before one is...

    Tre'mon Morris-brash is back on the team

    I haven’t looked into the specifics of this player’s case so I won’t comment on the strength or weakness of the case, but as a matter of law, the right to counsel does not apply during a DUI investigation (pre-arrest) because the agreement you make to get a DL is that you consent to all tests of...

    Liberty's Offense Reminds me of UCF w/Frost

    Yep. One day out will happen and the team that fumbled it away will give up a game winning score. The ultimate snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Liberty's Offense Reminds me of UCF w/Frost

    I don't think he meant to run into the pile, I think the coastal team pulled him forward and the Liberty lineman tried to pull him back. The RB tried to stay out of the endzone and the ball was knocked loose in the scrum. It wasn't a true kneel down but that was the plan. Take the handoff then...

    Liberty's Offense Reminds me of UCF w/Frost

    What a game and what an ending! Liberty had the ball on the goal line needing only a FG to win it. Then the most devastating play in all of football happened...the dreaded F.O.K.D. (fumble on kneel down). CC recovered on the one, ran out the clock and got it to OT. After getting a FG, Liberty...

    Marlon Williams Says Goodbye to UCF

    He had a great season and dominated AAC opponents but I don’t think he will be drafted higher than the 6th round based on lack of top end speed. Maybe moves up to 5th round with a 4.55. Maybe undrafted if he clocks in at 4.7 or worse. Crazy how a fraction of second can be the difference. I just...
