For all those who question if UCF was legit in 2017-18: They lost a one-score game in the Fiesta Bowl to Joe Burrow, Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson and Devin White...with their back-up quarterback.
This is so distasteful to a fanbase that has shown up all year to support this team. They attracted 312,000 more fans to Tropicana Field this year than in 2022, and had one of the largest attendance increases in MLB year over year. I love our fans. They deserve respect.

Jackson was reported missing by his family last week, but was found checked into a hotel in Brandon on Feb. 11. HSCO knew he was there and talked with him last week. He was found dead this morning in his room. An investigation is ongoing to figure out how he died.
He’s the greatest AD in college sports. Fitting enough? It’s a heartbreaking and humbling blow to UCF. Our success is directly correlated to his arrival.
I’m going to appreciate this. Two years without this feeling is unbelievable.

Sure, it’s making for an awkward farewell, given the leaked reports all week and especially during the game, but Scott Frost did this the right way. On his terms. Wants to tell his players face to face. That takes some damn courage.
Here’s what I know regarding

’s McKenzie Milton. Early indication was its a dislocated knee, which cut off blood circulation. They did pop his knee back in place and doctors are with him. No confirmation of surgery, but he is at the hospital.
A dream come true for 19-year old Austin Majors, who was born with a congenital heart defect called Ebstein’s anomaly. At three months old, he received a heart transplant. He was later diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, autism, scoliosis, and epilepsy.
For his dream…

So, to recap:
No. 6 is losing
No. 9 lost
No. 16 lost
No. 18 lost
No. 20 lost
No. 21 lost
No. 24 lost
No. 25 lost
...and No. 10 UCF has won 20 in a row. 🤷🏻♂️ but they’ll probably drop in the polls.
Peach Bowl CEO: “I just got a call late night, UCF sold out their total allotment of 12,500 in their first day of sales. That’s got a record in the CFP era. I don’t know that anybody sold out in first day of sales.”
Amazing update from Gators WR Justin Shorter’s family: “We are happy to share that Justin is doing well, is clear to head home today and is on his way to a full recovery! We would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of prayers, love and endless support.” 🙏🏻

The consensus on
@CollegeGameDay
about UCF, and I agree, is their strength of schedule isn’t good enough to be in the Top 4. Can we stop for a moment and just enjoy this? There’s tons of UCF signs, good & bad and the crew spent 5 minutes discussing UCF. What a time to be alive.
Izzy may be single-handily responsible for my career. When I was a sophomore in HS, he was the Heat beat writer for the Herald. I emailed him a list of questions on a whim. He shot back a page-long response. Didn’t have to, but he did. He offered me to shadow him at a game. He…

I understand the health risks, but Blake Snell saying he’s not playing a shortened season “until I get mine” sounds incredibly tone deaf with 36 million people out of work in this country.
I get the anger over DG transferring, but if he thinks going elsewhere is best for his career, let it be. Trust the process with Malzahn that he can bring in his guy to run this offense. It’s a new era of UCF Football. Time to move on.
How bad was Willie Taggart’s debut? Of FSU’s 63 offensive plays, 35 went for zero or negative yards, including a whopping minus-7 yards in the third quarter. Woof.
