It's a high pressure situation. UCF away games may look to locals like speed bumps for their teams.

The financial stakes in top-level college football have gotten crazy. In a very different world, the then-small Pennsylvania State College hired a new president in the 1920s, when it was already a big-league football power. New president noticed that his pay was less than the football coach's, which was cut. The coach stayed.

UCF will visit Dillon Gabriel at Oklahoma on Oct 21.

I was hoping the conference would make Oklahoma travel to Orlando for that game. The Big12 should have stuck it to them for leaving.

THE ULTIMATE GAME-CHANGER The Impact of UCF's On-Campus Football Stadium

ORLANDO, FL - UCF just can't keep from adding big time playmakers on the defensive side of the ball as they head to the Big XII, with 4 star Oklahoma defensive line transfer Derrick LeBlanc announcing he's returning home with UCF. LeBlanc joins the list of summer transfer enrollees that includes Rian Davis, Drake Metcalf, Decorian Patterson, Isaiah Paul, Shaun Peterson Jr, and Gunnar Smith. Pledging to the Sooners last summer following visits to multiple schools he enrolled this January in Norman. The Osceola High School (Fla.) athlete would spend the Spring in Oklahoma, but due to unforeseen family events decided to come home. The choice to reunite with Osceola teammate John Walker with the Knights became a very easy one.

The University of Central Florida officially joins the Big 12 Conference today in a landmark move that will enhance the university's national profile and provide opportunities for UCF student-athletes to compete at the highest level.

"The Big 12 is thrilled to officially welcome UCF to the conference," said Big 12 Conference Commissioner Brett Yormark. "UCF has experienced unprecedented growth and success since becoming a Division I program in 1996. With its addition, the Big 12 adds a university with one of the largest enrollments in the county--in one of America's top destination cities that ranks as the seventeenth largest media market--and expands the conference footprint to one of the top states in the country for DI prospects.

Yea ...... handling crowd noise on the road, that is UCF's "biggest" concern in entering into a real college football conference. LOL, fucking seriously ????

CentoDavo ..... do yourself a favor and take EVERYTHING that Marc Daniels writes with a grain of salt, The dude is a major league hack.

If I do not answer you .... nothing personal, I just have you on ignore.

btw, Marc Daniels has been the Voice of the Knights for 28 some years. A hack. LOL. I think he knows UCF history more than anyone.

I think it's great for UCF and for all of Florida. We just need more games with other Florida teams at the end of the year.

Imagine how excited I am!

Gotta win now though. Basketball really needs to step it up.

For football, UCF should be competitive and hopefully surprises a few in year one.

Exactly!! He is a UCF homer. His Black&Gold goggles are cinched even tighter to his gourd than yours! It's NOT about knowing the team that you are a homer for, it is about having a fucking clue on the Big Picture. He is a hack that writes for a hack fish wrap and is cred in the industry is low.

The very fact that he wrote that UCF's greatest challenge in going into an actual college football conference is, crowd noise on the road ..... is indicative of his high level of hackdom!!

For one, he is not a journalist but a radio announcer. Does UCF football, baseball, and basketball. Two, he didn't say that in any 'hack fish wrap' its A big 12 Blogger on Youtube.

Plus, if you ever listen to Marc Daniels daily morning talk radio show out of Orlando you would know he is more a Gator (he is an alumni) and New York Knicks fan. He is an employee of UCF for almost 30 years as a radio sport's announcer. He is pretty good at what he does and is pretty fair on his negative or positive coverage of UCF.

On the other hand, I'm trying to look up your credentials of a sport's opinion writer and all I see is hater homerism.

But whatever, keep hating and maybe do some reading comprehension exercises.

Here is a good one for you to start with:
