    I honestly don’t know how the Big 12 hasn’t called on us yet. We were playing Duke in South Carolina and had an audible UCF chant blasting through the TV.

    Danny White is a legend and I’d love to know the offers he gets weekly and turns down

    He’d be dumb to. He’s like 23

    This game alone probably put him on draft boards.

    Very bittersweet but what an awesome performance by those guys. For the most part this round has been shit. Just incredibly unlucky at the end.

    I married a Kansas girl and it’s crazy how many people have texted her from KU that had no idea what UCF even was minus that I went there.

    I forgot what this feels like because of the last couple years of football; but here we are again with a good ole classic UCF punch in the dick. I’m almost nostalgic

    He just won AD of the year. If he doesn’t get any offers that means other schools are stupid.

    And I am not trying to be an asshole, I am wondering. Obviously when I said « he is not getting any offers » I was a bit of an asshole but I don’t get why a top ad would stay at ucf if he got any solid offer at a prestigious school

    He’s like 38. He has plenty of time to get a top job if he wants.

    He found a school with unlimited potential and not much history. He basically gets to build a school in his name and get all the credit. Our old AD got the Oregon State and GT jobs and he was just a GOL mouthpiece. USF’s AD just got a big job and that program is fucking dead.

    If you don’t think Schools are beating down the the door to hire Danny White you are literally retarded.

    He has said in interviews that he has turned down offers and that he doesn’t want to chase the money; he loves it here, his family loves it here, everyone loves him here, he basically has crate blanche to build the program however he wants and do whatever he wants.

    Now, who knows how that will change in regards to UCF having to hire a new president, or his now grade school aged kids getting older and not being as much of an anchor to the area, or some school coming in and offering him money we can’t match. I think the last thing is probably the least likely to get him to leave though, he sounds more like he is into having a legacy than having money and he is in (I may have to recheck this) the top quarter of ADs in terms of base pay, already above a lot of P5 schools

    You are right but I think that’s only with his base pay though. With bonuses and incentives added in, I think he is down in the 40s but that’s still above a good portion of P5 schools. There really are only a handful of schools that could/would offer him substantially more than we can

    If I were to guess, I’d bet he is locked in here until his kids graduate HS since that sounds like not moving his family is a big factor. After that though, all bets are off

    Yeah I’m pretty sure they are grade school so I’m thinking we got like 10 years. Shit by then, if he keeps up with the job he is doing, we’ll be in a P5 conference and contending nationally in multiple sports. If he wants to chase a pay check at that point, more power to him; say thanks and give him all the statues

    Obviously this years recruiting class is pretty much done. Can we finally start attracting better HS guys to stay home with Dawkins?

    Memphis has the number 1 player in the class committed under Penny.

    I like Dawkins as a coach but I cant go all in on him until he starts recruiting guys that contribute.

    this is 100% off topic, so i apologize, but i don't have time to google it at work today. my tires were fine yesterday, then this morning i wake up and one is near flat at 22 psi while others are 34 area. i fill it up at gas station, and go to work and its still at 34. my question is, do tires just randomly deflate like that that quickly? i know my car would notify me if it was getting low at like 27 psi or something, so to be fine yesterday and then 22 today makes me think there's a puncture. but it was holding air whole trip. i just don't want to go out to car this afternoon and find it flat again, so curious if there's any possibility it could have just been random thing and not always a puncture.

    the only times I had one tire that was significantly lower than the others, I had a nail in it.

    Yes but that usually affects all 4, no?

    yeah i'd assume there's a puncture or leaky valve or something (is that tube to input air a valve... i dunno cars). but it was holding fine after a fill-up so figured it might not be.

    if it's holding fine it might still have a nail in it and just may leak slowly after a few days.

    My one tire doesn't have the cap so it slowly leaks and after the cold snap I had to refill it but yeah there has to be a leak for that level of deflation.
