Scoreboard showed 65,000 and change. I am back at the hotel but still unwinding post-game.

He lives in Orlando. He's not a stranger to the program.

Kirk Herbstreit is actually claiming on Twitter that he gave us a chance and knew we'd play well...

I think there is a condition for habitual liars.

Congrats UCF!!

Congrats Knights!

There won't be. There can't be.

You never know: Giant's fans wanted Tom Caughlin on the chopping block the year after he won his second Super Bowl

What an awesome job UCF! Go Knights!! QB Bortles is a legit NFL prospect, it'll be exciting to see where he goes!

Also, thanks for moving conferences so ODU could move up!

I'm predicting a UCF victory. UCF will be sky-high for this game while I expect Baylor to be slumping, and in football, motivation matters greatly.

UCF 31
Baylor 21

Damn, I nailed the MOV exactly, LOL.

Nah, I saw him on ESPN on Dec 30th or so saying he was considering picking UCF and that we had a real shot. He did end up picking Baylor though.

I've been defending him for years, and now I finally have the ammo I need to conclusively destroy all the haters beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Every time we say he's hit his ceiling, he's broken it. First bowl game. First conference championship. First bowl win and finishing ranked. And now first BCS Bowl win. And he did it while raising the academics and virtually eliminating off-the-field incidents.

Fine.

It took 7 years to convince you, but it's finally happened lol.

There's been some tough years. For a while, GOL is untouchable for me. He got us where we are and the view from here is pretty incredible considering where we came from.
