UCF mention on HBO's Ballers

[UCFjson]

Thought it pretty cool to hear UCF mentioned at the 23:11 mark of the series premier of HBO's Ballers.

In what context?

 

[UCFjson]

An agent who used to be a scout for the University of Miami is talking to a former NFL player named Charles Greane. The Charles Greane character chose UCF over Miami. As far as I can tell this is a completely fictional character as no one named Charles Greane ever played for UCF.

Awesome.

I caught it as well. Very nice. It's definitely a step-up from being the Alma Mater of Thomas Jane's well-endowed character in the Showtime series Hung! lol

Go Knights!

Perhaps Cornell Greene??

"Who's leading the LPGA?"

Cornell Green played for the Bucs as well (just like this fictional character). I first thought of Charles Lee (did the UCF spellout after a Bucs TD and ended up going to prison for robbery near UCF).

UCF has had casual mentions in 3 HBO series now. If no one beats me to it, I might try to put them together in a short video. Maybe even tie in George Lopez moment where Culpepper tries to get the kid to commit to UCF.
