"Scott Frost could be Big 12 X- (and O) factor"

He was actually trying to support GOL at the end but that still doesn't make his articles and opinions wisdom from my perspective. He'll always be a Gators first guy to me.
Bianchi believes and feels nothing. His columns are all about taking a random, provocative, or pandering position and doubling down until he satisfies his word limit. Every city has one of these hacks.
Didn't read the bianchi article but listening to his morning show everyday and the bridge with Marc Daniels there is some UCF talk around the 9am hour. He very much is pro UCF on the radio. And, gators, and FSU. Anti-USF. He hams it up. Its mildly entertaining for my long commute to work.
Bianchi has a habit of calling out UCF fans for not calling in to his show and loves making the claim that we just don't care enough about our home town team....
I guess he just doesn't get that most of us have actual jobs and don't have time to sit on the phone with a radio show like his unlike all those other fans that apprently fill up his phone lines hour after hour.

The difference is that Marc bleeds black and gold while Bianchi is just a bomb thrower. He may have real opinions but we'll never know what they are. It's just a job for him and he's an entertainer.
I'm pretty sure he is on antidepressants. You know, because he didn't get Skip's job at ESPN....
So, what, he's the 1 public person who's outspoken about UCF joining the Big 12, no one from Disney, no politician, no signs outside museums (memphis), nothing. Even tho it doesn't mean much, except show the conference than this "biggest city without NFL so it's the only game in town" actually cares and would go to a game. So far, I can't see that anyone outside of UCF cares. (I'm outside the area so if there is support, I can't see it)
UCF "is" Orlando, almost by default these days. Every successful economic development effort that spurred hi-tech jobs in Osceola, Seminole, or Orange counties has originated directly at UCF. Meanwhile, our elected leaders and bureaucrats have obsessed over building downtown sports and arts structures. That said, the political and civic bosses will support what we tell them to because it's in their interest, too.
Bianchi cant win with you guys. When he is negative it is a hit piece and he is a "gator fan". When he supports UCF it is click bait. I think he has seen UCF really mature over the last few years and now understands the importance the school has to the city. He can be a windbag sometimes but isn't that his job?
Yes, it is what they hired him for. What sports talk hacks and newspaper columnists have been ordered to do. Pick an outrageous position at random and act outraged. It's just smack on the air and flaming in print to elicit hits. I wouldn't mind if his humor weren't banal, his metaphors hackneyed, and his by-the-numbers column templates worse than computer generated. There's gotta be more interesting wordsmiths they could hire.
