The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of UCF Football

[Poolside Knight]

When a student writes a better article than anything coming from the Orlando Sentinel, a few days old.

With the UCF practice fields right next to the stadium and a five minute walk from the nearest classroom, it's not hard to take a walk and catch a glimpse of the team practicing. Rap music blares across the field, whistles blow constantly, and the smell of diesel permeates the air as golf carts and gator carts wheel around the nearby parking lot. All of this seems like background noise compared to a sound that hasn't been heard on these fields in years: laughter. Some coaches are standing on one side and sharing a laugh, players breaking for water gather around for back pats and smiles are abound, and the figure of Scott Frost can be made out standing under the watchtower that dominates between the two practice fields, a tower that seems like something out of a gothic tale. His figure can be made out, but its hard to see his expression. It hardly matters. The only expression I can imagine on Frost's face is one of utter joy.
