When You Have a Chance to Influence the Universe...

He does a great job in telling the "UCF Story"...as much of this aspect has been brought up in the past by others like myself that have noted that UCF Alumni have lived thru the history/building of a Univ...where many of our counterparts landed at 150 yr old institutions where they start of said school can only be found in history books.

Some highlights from Coach's column:

Having already coached volleyball teams in the Big 10 and Pac 12, I had been surrounded by tradition as I walked through the hallowed hallways of those marvelous institutions. The spirit and black-and-white pictures of the institutional scholars and high-achieving athletes almost evoked a ghostly feeling. Those hallways have been part of a lot of history, and walking through them is like walking through a historical museum. I often found my mind drifting back to their day and age.

But I didn’t come to UCF to follow in the footsteps of 150 years of history; after all, the school hadn’t even turned 50 by the time I arrived here.

I came to UCF because I wanted to be the one to help write the history.
