UCF is imploding before our eyes...

Considering we are on a 5 game losing streak (again), stands are full of visiting teams fans, Fire Gus chants, losing recruits, I would think that's an easy answer but I will still listen anyways.

I've gotta miss this upcoming space game. But, will be watching on Tv. Something tells me I might be clicking the tv off in the 3rd quarter. All this negative news hasn't changed Vegas UCF -6.5 favorites. Arizona must be going thru some sh*t as well.

Firing DC. New DC and OC calling plays. Possibly starting 4th string redshirt freshman. Players opting out. Disgruntled fans. Etc, etc...

Yet, vegas still gives us the edge. hmmm.... they trolling us.

One positive is we still have Rj Harvey.

Just for shitz-n-giggles I laid a buck with the -6.5 points for UCF. I probably lost a buck there, but who cares. I guess I'll feed into the machine.

Go Knights! Off to watch this Sons-of video now to get more depressed.

even if these moves work for a few games Gus still ruined another season ..I think 5 game losing streaks every season is enough for most people to not want to see him leading this Program with fake hype in 2025.

Not a lot of us over excited about the initial hiring of Gus. Great guy but not the style of offense that led us to most wins in recent history. So much talent on team but missed opportunities with offensive style and lack of discipline at times continues on defense. The offensive side wasn't a surprise because his play calling is his MO. Lousy passing game is killing us in games. Although I feel for the defense being on the field too much because of offense I don't understand the penalties and the DEs not boxing in the opposing QBs but letting them run wild and make big 3rd down plays.

As far as Gus is concerned we were all surprised when the contract extension package was offered to him. Now the question is can the new OC and DC overcome the recent past with how games are managed? If not as soon as we can financially get out of the current HC contract without losing a ton of money we should.

Lastly, I hate the NIL. I give the coaches a pass on this one because it definitely impacts things negatively.
