5 years as an independent here, I started at UCF August 1997, the "Best 0-3 team in the country" season... still hard to believe this day has finally arrived, I can still remember how insanely excited I was when we got invited to the MAC. We are the first team to ever play at all levels of the sport, so crazy.
06 I want to say first game was vs Villanova? I remember being new to the rivals site and getting so tilted by some random nova fan posting non stop academic smack. Looking back it was top tier chirping, pretty sure the guy completely made up going to Villanova.
I think that was 06. I remember we were down 14-0 before the band got into the stands after the pregame show.
i forgot about some game in like 98 or someting when we played louisiana tech as well. but that doesnt count cuz i was a kid and didnt care.
Yeah that was 06. They took the opening kickoff back and it got dark from there. Remember vividly watching a very drunk pike bro swan dive like Eddie fucking Guerrero about six bleacher rod down and tackle a lambda chi. The citrus bowl was a blast. I think my actual first game was the conference champ game in 05 when Garret Mills at Tulsa went bananas.
Yep, 2003, I went to visit my folks for Thanksgiving and remember listening to that game on the radio, we were completely done by the 2nd quarter. That was the game where Antoine Poe hurt his neck and they stretchered him off the field.
I don’t remember the injury but my dad went to Miami U and was with us and even he was like “ok I’m good” and we left at halftime
Citrus Bowl memories here… Pitt blow out prob stands out the i don’t think that was my first game but def one of my first memories of ucf football
Freshman year was 2007 Texas game. What an amazing experience despite the loss. I was a fan for life after that day. Our trajectory has been pretty amazing.
I started following in 03 after I got accepted. I think first game I remember watching was vs psu where lost by a fg. First game I went to was homecoming vs Ohio in 04 where prater missed the xp in ot to lose.
more happy w the massive tv deal/revenue increase for The Program . They have already done great in that regard w how little they have made. It will be cool to see Stadium and Athletic Village improvements hopefully come a little quicker . add in an awesome campus & lifestyle compared to a lot of Southern locations and the ceiling can get higher
Where do the kids party these days besides the Houlihans Knight Library? When I was there we had Scoop, Devaneys, Library, TD's, Fubar, Deko, and a nice Downtown. Now Downtown looks deserted and everything around campus looks like restaurant chains and shit.
think Bounce House Social is the new cool spot , it is where there used to be a bbq chain just off Alafaya . talked to someone that just finished their first year and there is a hookah bar by Riverwind that is nice spot. but the rest is mostly sports bar chains as far as I know. all the redevelopment making it tough, Pub’s spot going to be another apartment

I started donating $25/month a month ago and we immediately got that RB. Definitely feel like I made the difference
I’m totally uneducated on NIL but I’ve kinda thought once it was launched that dollars would be more limited than people think since it’s just (supposed to be) fans and businesses just dipping in but still wouldn’t include the e billions in tv money. Donors (even big ones) are only going to funnel so much on top of whatever other donations to athletics.
This is a sentence that I like to see and he is a teammate of Kylan Fox Waltclaire Flynn Jr., the nation's No. 1 center and a four-star prospect, committed to the Knights over Florida State, Georgia, LSU and Texas A&M.
