Why that rat was allowed on the sideline? Wish they would have just told him to go home for this game.
Mikey Keene - good riddance
- Thread starter Boston.Knight
- Start date
Did you see his demeanor all game? He looked miserable being there.
Again, where are all the Keene lovers now?!

He has always been transferring. We all knew this. Without him we never beat uf
Kid is a liar and a cheat. Next.
My hope is he isn't flying back to Orlando and if he is his shit is on the corner being burned
Don't like that he went back on his word, but the way the defense played we weren't winning even if he played.
Gus bungled the situation by choosing to play an injured WR over Keene. Keene wasn’t willing to sacrifice a year so Gus could throw him in for a drive in unknown circumstances to replace the chosen one. Let TC do that for a game. He did. QB play didn’t lose this game.
He mightve wanted take a lookat QBs that have transfered from UCF and how they have fared. Dudes gonna be holding a clipboard at whatever school he goes to.
I just unfriended him from IG, this is how I do!! Now it's your turn 😝. Fcukin 🐀
Milton or bortles couldnt have won today with how bad our defense was
The O Line was worse than D. Even Holler was whiffing on blocks non stop. If we scored more in first half we probably win.
In the end Keene was about Keene but it didn’t matter defense couldn’t stop a youth football team tonight
Come on guys… Gus made it very clear to him that he’s not going to be the future starting QB. Sure in the moment he said what he said at the press conference, but you have to remember that these kids all have a bunch of people trying to tell them what to do. This is not quite a DG situation where he was going to be the clear starter the following season. I think it’s fair for him to look after his future in this scenario. Of course, more likely than not, he’s going to probably find himself in a worse situation than he has right now, given the recent history of our guys who have transferred out.
Right Here. I love KEENE, JRP and TC. They are all good players and, as far as I can see, quality human beings. I respect and appreciate what each of them has brought to the table for UCF. They have all done a lot for the program.
I'm here, I supported Keene from before the season and I still think Keene is the guy I would have started. Keene is still the better QB
I told everyone he is sitting out after playing 4 games.
Exactly. Gus should have started the better QB instead of being loyal to JRP.
Exactly......almost 700 yards. That's sickening
Holler misses blocks like it was his job. Doesn't deserve the pedestal we put him on...
Keene wouldn't have mattered. He would have been an idiot to play.
It's frustrating to me that all year we had nobody at qb2 for whom we weren't counting games (to preserve RS) while playing a running quarterback at qb1.
What exactly did we think was going to happen when qb1 gets banged up or loses a helmet? Even if plan A was "let's hope qb1 misses less than 5 games," why did we waste TC's eligibility on garbage time handoffs in the first few games? Instead of letting JRP get 8 touchdowns or whatever it was at FAU, could TC have played most of a half?
It just seemed like this qb situation, unfolding on network TV, could have been foreseen in August.
And I disagree that the offense had nothing to do with the problems today. Momentum gets passed back and forth between offense and defense. Early in the game when it mattered, it would have mattered.

You guys are wrong Keene would have mattered. Our Qb play definitely affected the game.
Mikey Keene sucks for backing out on his team.

just think about UCF in 2017-18 w the players selfish mindset lately…we never go undefeated
what we have seen at UCF not only the last 2 years but even w Heupel is a talented but disjointed squad . The locker room culture has sucked since Frost left

I would put Arizona State in the driver's seat for the Mikey Keene sweepstakes. Former Gus offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham gone snatch him up.
This decision was made in August once JRP was given the starting job over an incumbent MK (to the surprise of players) and MK decided to transfer. Why do you think MK didn’t see a snap of action until JRP went down against Cincy while we had already seen Tommy in 4 games? To his credit he stuck around and made positive contributions when he could have easily pulled a Timmy McClain. But him being unavailable for a 5th game was not a surprise to Gus or anyone on the team and TC had been prepping this week as QB2. QB was not where this game was lost either.
Guy's I'm telling you right now when MK is enshrined at Canton, his NFL HOF acceptance speech will center on his greatest regret in life of not burning his red shirt season to come off the bench in a loss to Tulane.
Perhaps we don't know the whole story and most likely never will. I don't blame Keene though because I am sure Gus told him he had no future here at UCF from the beginning of the year.
I have zero hate for Keene. All he did was help us win. In this day if you were the starter and a transfer comes in and starts they transfer. He still helped us win multiple games this year.
Anyone who didnt expect mk to sit after his 4th game are clueless. He didnt owe us anything more. He came in and mopped up for jrp against cincy and beat memphis
Yup. No hate towards this kid. Hate should go for Gus for choosing JRP who is so injury prone. At the end can we should have just played TC all season for practice. We gained nothing by going with JRP all season.
This is where I am too. While I definitely think Mikey would have helped last night, I understand his decision. He could have put up more points but couldn't paper over all the problems of this team.
"Revenge of the Keene" was of our making in August. With the portal and NIL, college football is a ruthless business. I'm grateful he stuck around to give us wins over Cincy & USF and a spot in the championship game. Gus should have used that time to get TC ready.
True, but isn’t that because that’s when the system changed? The transfer portal and NIL are the reason this is happening. The players are the ones counting games for redshirt status, just like Gilyard did last season. How can a coach ensure the backup QB isn’t counting games unless he’s already redshirted?
Didn’t MK go to class for free and receive scholarship money? How can you decide not to play if you accepted your scholarship?
In the contract it says it’s guaranteed for 1 year barring legal issues and a few other instances. It doesn’t say you have to play.
