Going to a Microsoft conference for educational institutions tomorrow in Tampa. Most other Florida universities will be in attendance. Wearing my National champions shirt, fuck the haters.
We hire a new president today. Better not be this guy: As a lawmaker, Kennedy had a conservative record, voting to ban same-sex marriage, describing himself as “100 percent pro-life,” and receiving an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association, according to OnTheIssues.org, a non-partisan site. His last term ended in 2007.
Hopefully. I read that the Akron president might get canned after this if he doesn't get the UCF job.
Kind of weird he’s a president of a school and comes to UCF and campaigns. Pass This is the weirdest job interview I’ve seen and I’d hate if we had a president going to campaign at ND or something and then when he doesn’t get the job be like lol jk.
This sounds like it will be Whittaker and they think this other guy should maybe apply for the provost job.
Nice article. https://www.si.com/college-football/2018/03/12/ucf-mckenzie-milton-national-championship
I just got the Orlando Sentinel coffee table book thing from the season. It's nice. I just started reading from the beginning of the season and it's just so funny since they begin with the one article that anyone bothered to write about the opener. It nods to McKenzie basically as a buy just trying to not fuck up and I don't think Griffin's name was mentioned once.
I'm in Sales, so I get Danny has to try and court Orlando non UCF alums. That being said fuck the idea of trying to court Gators and Noles to attend games as secondary UCF fans.
or ideally end up having kids in Orlando and raise them UCF fans since they'd be going to UCF games as kids. Although I know thats really not how it works (especially with Gators). But a nice thought.
This is how I became a fan. Tailgates by the lake and watching Daunte were memorable parts of growing up. It could only be better now with the on-campus stadium and relative sustained success we've had.
If by damaging our brand he means almost selling out of season tickets, being known as UCF instead of C. Florida, consistently being way-too-early preseason ranked (a first for us), record breaking merch sales and tens of millions of dollars in free PR.. Then sure, sure we're hurting it. I'm willing to bet we'll see record setting applications for next years freshman class as well.
The fact that you are tweeting about it on March 15th kind of proves the point of what we are doing kirk
Imagine if we make it to week 5 and we're still undefeated. The committee will have to issue their new poll and PR wise, we win either way. They're damned if they do and damned if they don't. Whole thing is just fucking brilliant. We've got to keep winning, but it's brilliant.
Exactly. Just think about, would Kirk or any ESPN personality say one word about UCF during the off-season if we hadn’t have made this claim? No, they would t even talk about us until week 6 of the season probably and then only if we were undefeated again
I honestly think it’s driving guys like Kirk fucking crazy. ESPN can basically dictate the story line, and every year the drum beating starts right around now. They talk em up so their investments get the preseason votes which drive SoS and rankings, and then collect the dividends from it all season long. In all the chatter, UCF is taking someone’s spot. It’s a storyline that just won’t die.
That’s they funniest thing about it too, it’s really not us driving the coverage anymore. Kirk and the rest of the mainstream could easily at this point just ignore our social media accounts but they can’t and end up being the ones turning it into a story again and again. It’s like the UCF National Champion thread in here. I looked at one point to see when the last time we had bumped it and we hadn’t since like page 8, we just respond. it’s on page 26 now and still getting bumped occasional every couple weeks. But no, people don’t care about our claim
Absolutely love it. And that thread is amazing, every now and then some half witted sec fan strolls through taking it super seriously and it just ramps back up. I bet it’s still being bumped by the time the season comes along. You’d think the trump campaign would have taught everyone how trolling works. Yet, here we are. Tweet away Kirk, you insufferable alcoholic looking douchebag.
Turns out winning is good. http://ucfknights.com/news/2018/3/16/football-title-run-millions-in-exposure-value.aspx
David Hogg the parkland kid got deferred application from UCF. I don't know how we don't want any and all of the parkland kids on campus. The real world experience they have with media interviews speeches and communicating is more than 99% of high school seniors. I say just let them all in.
I was under the impression all Douglas grads went to UCF already. I know so many people from that school.
Everything he's done in the last year just screams this is more than a money job to him, that he has a real chance to leave a legacy
From a USF POV that’s got to be rough. A former conference foe for many years only gives you a 2 for 1 and UCF in one year ruined their perfect season and gets a home and home.
