Respect, OK State. Your fans who came to Orlando were top notch. All very pleasant and enjoyable. Hopefully you guys will come back soon.
Happy to be in the BigXII! ⚔️

Let's be Real...
1) This game was terrible, point blank. There is no other way to put it.
2) Yes, OSU was Flat, but, can't take ANY credit away from UCF. They were the better team and thoroughly kicked our ass.

BREAKING: Four-Star QB Trever Jackson tells me he has Decommitted from Ole Miss
The 6’3 190 QB from Winter Garden, FL had been Committed to the Rebels since August
2024 Elite 11 Finalist & holds 34 Offers 👀
Next morning thoughts:
1. Loss isn’t on Timmy. He made some absolutely beautiful throws.
2. LBs are suspect. KS threw over the middle all night.
3. Team didn’t fold.
4. Big12 wins will be earned, not given.
5. Lots still to play for.

The bright side is that UCF’s issues tonight were entirely self-inflicted and this team can clearly hang with very good P5 opponents talent-wise
The down side is UCF is going to lose the game
“We play football next month” …IN THE BIG12.
On this momentous day, my mind wanders to the late Dr. Hitt. Nobody did more for
@UCFKnights
than he did. He KNEW that UCF would be a major research institution AND a CFB power.
As always, he was right! Happy Big12 Day!

Fun story:
Back in 2009, when I was SGA President at UCF, I advocated for UCF Athletics to use black paint on the field for the UCF and other logos.
I was told it was “impossible” and would be unsustainable for the field.
Looks pretty “possible” to me!

, a team spokesperson confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel Friday night.
I’m tired of the “do they belong” narrative. UCF is in the P5. No looking back. Stop with the UCF questioning. Does Vandy belong? Does Wake Forest belong? How about Rutgers? I could keep going. It’s a lazy argument, at this point. Plenty of P5 schools are garbage. We won’t be. ⚔️
Heyward’s commitment should push UCF ahead of Texas Tech and Arizona to currently hold the

Big12 celebration AND this news?! What a day!
Never want to celebrate someone being down, but this guy was such an SEC-homer. He never gave schools like UCF (or any non-P5 team) a chance or any respect. College football is about more than the same 18-20 schools. He didn’t care.
I “know” the space game is over, but I’m keeping the 🚀 magic alive one more day for my birthday, today!!

Not to put this out into the universe, but JRP is usually front and center in these BOOM posts after a win. The fact that he’s not visible here is not a good sign 😔
It was likely inevitable that he would need to take some meaningful snaps at some point. Didn’t expect it to be this soon but the timing might be a blessing in disguise. He’ll get a tuneup game next week. Timmy came here to win the starting job, so he’ll be ready to ball 💪
Today reminds me that we are blessed to have a backup QB with experience when most colleges do not!
RS Soph Timmy McClain started 9 games as a Freshman at usf & played in 11 including vs 3 top 15 teams. He’s also had a redshirt year to learn the system.
The scoreboard shows a 1 point loss, but TT could have kicked a FG on that final drive, if they wanted/needed to. This loss isn’t on Boomer at all. If you want to point to something point to the AWFUL 2nd quarter or questionable play calling at the end of the first half
I was lucky enough to have many conversations with Dr. Hitt. He invited me into his home. Was always available to give advice. He was composed, well spoken, and cared for

I don’t know if I’m more tired of hearing about Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift -or- hearing UCF fans complain about wearing white when the team is wearing black.

This Saturday,
@UCF_Football
will be debuting these special “Disney U” uniforms against WVU, in honor of the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company.
JRP played his heart out. A lot of praise for Boomer, but JRP led the team and made the throws he needed to.
Hate to see him go down at the end like that. I hope that’s not as bad as it looked. Could be an ACL or MCL injury. Could be out for 2023 😱
Hot Take: Gus went up 35-7 just to show what UCF can do and then dropped the game in the 4th quarter in order to show the recruits that he’s not going to be taking any other coaching job…
Latest intel says that he wanted gold jerseys as part of his deal to sign with UCF but Terry told him, “Sorry, that’s not one of our colors. We only wear black and white jerseys at UCF.”
NOLA bound update:
After stopping in Orlando for the night, we’re again headed North and have found ourselves in enemy territory. Ew. Nothing redeeming about Gainesville… 🤦🏼♂️

Any other ladies sending their man across the county 48 hrs before they get married?! 😅
I’m not a coach but didn’t DG leave UCF to show he wasn’t a “system” QB? This offense looks nearly identical to what he was running at UCF…
What am I missing
@UCFXOS

Anyone else notice the lack of the Citronaut logo anywhere in the uniform? Usually is on the neckline of the jersey and on the leg of the pants. It is mysteriously absent on this year's uniform. This is a miss, imo. Have to have the Citronaut for the space uniform!
