PREFACE: I did a search, and couldn't find this posted in any thread. My apologies if it's already been posted elsehwere.
I missed this back on July 1st. Ignoring the headline... this is the greatest complement I've ever seen from a Gator beat writer. For once it's nice to hear another fanbase say we built our program correctly, which we utterly did, and on our own. It's even 10x nicer to see an in-state rival beat, much more Florida, do it.

Reports of the Florida Gators Demise have been Greatly Exaggerated
The Florida Gators may have suffered through three-straight seven-loss season, but there's a sleeping giant in Gainesville.

"UCF
Outside of Florida and FSU, the third-most important program in the state. To their credit, the Knights built a program out of proverbial thin air. People flock to Orlando and watch a school that slowly built themselves into a respectable program on the serious upswing.
After raising their occasionally-debated national championship, the Knights play in the Big 12, reaping the rewards of constructing a program the correct way. Never taking a shortcut, UCF made true progress in a competitive football landscape. UCF became a model of college football program construction."
