UCF: 1 More Knight

What is happening in Lubbock, and should Sorsby be able to play? (E83)

Wed, 10 Jun 2026 13:00:00 -0400

With Brendan Sorsby's eligibility reinstated, what are my thoughts? I give you that, talk about other issues from Lubbock, and is the Red Raiders schedule set up for another CFP run. Oh, and don't forget we just completed Super Regionals in baseball, and we talk about the results and match ups coming this weekend. As I continue to put together my content for the summer, I will chime in on other stories around the Big 12 and the nation.

The Knights were competitive in many sports during the 3rd year of the BIG XII (E82)

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 19:00:00 -0400

Let's take an episode and run down the sports teams and how they performed this year. Year 3 was not a bad year and many teams exceeded expectations. Some had some growth, others surprised the experts, and a few needed a reset. Here is a look at some of the good and the bad as we continue building our programs to compete at the highest level.

UCF Baseball is eliminated in the Auburn Regional as the pitching injuries became too much (E81)

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 19:00:00 -0400

After 2 series wins, one on the road at Baylor, and the other at home versus Kansas State, UCF Baseball was hoping to make some noise in the B12 Tournament. With the 4th seed came a much-needed rest, but we would fall in the first game just like the ladies did. We would make the tournament with a surprising season that many did not see coming. They won the first game in the Auburn regional, only to fall in the next two games and be eliminated from post season play. Through the injuries, the Knights had a successful season and hope to continue to become relevant in not only the conference, but also in post season play.

UCF Softball falls to UCLA in Super Regional, yet the tournament has been spectacular (E80)

Thu, 04 Jun 2026 14:00:00 -0400

While I was sad to see us get blown out at UCLA, it is not surprising with the amount of Home Runs and Runs per Game that the Bruins put up. We showed some fight in both games early, but we could not keep the bats for UCLA quiet for long. It was a great year for our Lady Knights with knocking off the in-state FSU Seminoles in the Regional. We had some veteran players that helped this team mature quickly and hope we can keep a good nucleus of players as the portal season for softball is upon us. We also will need some additional depth in the rotation and at the plate. I have watch much of the tournament and it has been another exciting year. This week will be a rematch of Texas and Texas Tech, which I will be pulling for the Big 12 to get it done this year after falling 2 games to 1 last season. Congrats to some local high school teams, Hagerty and Winter Springs on their softball championship. I got to see my alma mater Columbia High School not only beat my wife's Seminole team but also win the 4A Championship right down the road from my house a few Saturdays ago. Way to go Lady Tigers! Have 3 classmates' children on the team and it was good to catch up with them. Tomorrow I will talk UCF Baseball, but until then, Go Knights! Charge On!

Softball loses first game of tournament while Baseball battles to stay at the top of the conference (E79)

Sun, 10 May 2026 16:00:00 -0400

Happy Mother's Day! It has been a few weeks since the last show and I share what a crazy two weeks it has been. Then we catch up with Spring Football, Softball, and Baseball for UCF. Other spring sports are finishing up as well as we are closing in on the summer. I talk about some other top stories around the country, city, and the BIG 12. Last, I talk about some more additions to the Knights' basketball teams. Looking forward to wrapping up school so I can do more shows.

We have another 1st round draft pick in the NFL and how are the Knights doing around the nation (E78)

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 17:00:00 -0400

Short one today, but we will touch on another UCF Knight selected in round 1 of the NFL draft. Who else should be keep an eye on this weekend? Also, we touch on the last-minute basketball portal moves for both the Men's and Women's team. In baseball, the Knights lost the 2 weekend games and could not pull off more Sunday magic and lost the series to Cincy. They would pull out the victory against Bethune Cookman on Tuesday. Can they stop the free fall this week in Utah? Softball took 2 of 3 from Kansas with the bats going cold on Sunday. They also won their weekday game on Wednesday versus North Florida. Next for them is a Home and Home series with #5 UF. I plan on attending tomorrow night's game at the Plex and hope they can at least steal one of them. Last, it's my birthday and I tell you how my day went and super excited for my girls as they finished the season as the 2nd seed, 4-1 and will start their tournament run tomorrow. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and Go Knights, Charge On!

The Basketball Portal Window is coming to a close, how are the Knights looking? (E77)

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 18:00:00 -0400

Not very many have entered the portal from Men's Basketball and Coach Lazo for the Lady Knights is busy trying to build his team. Only a few more days remaining before we find out the rosters for next year's basketball teams. Baseball drops a series to Kansas, who now is in 1st place in the conference. Our boys are tied for 2nd with a home series against Cincy this weekend. Softball wins 2 of 3 and takes the weekday game heading into the last home series versus a ranked KU team. Can the ladies keep the momentum building here at the end of the season and get back in the hunt for a higher tournament seed. Coach Frost gave an update on Spring Football and still no sign of Barnett running the offense, but a battle for QB2 is underway with the two transfers. I also touch on The Masters tournament from last week and give an update on my girls' basketball team as we are coming to the end of the season. We have 6 UCF Spring Sports represented in the Top 25 and just a lot to be excited about around Knight Nation.

Around the diamond, the Knights' baseball and softball teams are showing success (E76)

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 17:00:00 -0400

Baseball is in 1st place in the conference after taking 2 out of 3 on the road in Morgantown. Now they head to Kansas to take on the Jayhawks. Can they keep the momentum that basketball lost during their season of play. Softball had another great series at home versus Utah. With 2 wins and a tie, they are in 5th place in the conference and turning it around from the slow conference start. They are on the road at Arizona State. Can they continue the hot streak with the bats and shut down pitching they have seen over the last few weeks. Also, I give you basketball tournament final thoughts and the portal is now open. I give you a list of Knights that have entered along with some other notable names from the BIG 12. I let you know who I have seen enter from UCF and what I think about Johnny's extension. New Coach, Gabe Lazo had an introductory press conference and we will see who he can assemble with most of the team opting out for next year. I cover some other sports topics in the news from this week and give you how my girl's team did against our cross town rivals. Remember that it is Master's weekend and look forward to other great sports as well.

Knights have 7 spring teams ranked in the Top 25, so why are the fans concerned (E75)

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 15:00:00 -0400

While many of the Knights' spring sports are getting National recognition, it is the team not competing right now that is dominating the news. Much excitement for the opening of Spring Football practice was diminished by the absence of Alonza Barnett from participating. Concern is growing along with a 3-9 prediction from an article has fans already up in arms. Many of our teams are counted out, so let's just relax a bit and see what happens. I go around and talk about the great things happening around UCF, Tournament predictions for the final weekend of basketball, and even some BIG 12 stories that are sure to ruffle some feathers. Also, a big week for Coach, as I face off against a cross-town rival on Wednesday. Have a great sports weekend Knight Nation, and as always, Go Knights, Charge On!

Knights Softball and Baseball sweep their weekend series (E74)

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 06:00:00 -0400

What a great weekend around the diamond. Softball wins weekday matchup against FCGU before traveling to Houston where the bats came alive. The Lady Knights were ready for launch as they hit 19 homers in 3 games along with a perfect game from Isabella Vega on Saturday. They pull back to .500 in conference on the season and host Utah this weekend at home. Baseball hosted Arizona at home after losing at Stetson on Tuesday. They would get the easy win on Friday and Saturday, while Sunday came down to the usual late game heroics. Another walk off winner for the Knights in the Bottom of the 13th to earn the series sweep. They are on the road, first in Happy Valley to take on Penn State, then head to Morgantown. West Virgina is ranked #11 and the Knights #23 as the weekend series will decide who is at the top of the conference. Currently, we are 1st and are surprising the predictors. Can the Knights keep it up, or will they start to falter? Can the Lady's ride the momentum going? We will find out. Also, a tournament update and I talk about some of the stories circulating while giving my take. My basketball team is off to a 2-0 start with a clash against our cross-town rival next week. I have a lot to do to get them ready and keep you posted on how they do.

Knights get "Bounced" in the 1st Round, but was the year a success? (E73)

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 21:00:00 -0400

I guess it is not surprising that we did not play well on Friday in the tournament, since we have been struggling over the past month to get much of an offense going. Our Knights would fall to UCLA, and the season has come to a close. I give my thoughts on the season and expectations on the future. Johnny is getting an extension, and can he recreate this year's magic into next year's team. We will again be filling needs through the portal in hopes that the next group of players can continue to build the program into one that competes in the tournament year after year. We check in on the diamond as Baseball and Softball were busy with another weekend of BIG 12 play. Then, we will look back at a great first 4 days of the tournament, the stats, the upsets, and the buzzer beaters. Finally, I give you my predictions of which teams will be heading to the Final Four after this next weekend of games. Hope your bracket is doing better than mind but still holding out hope and pulling for our BIG 12 mates to continue winning. Make it a great week and as always, Go Knights, Charge On!

Can UCF Men's Basketball be a Cinderella in March Madness (E72)

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 08:00:00 -0400

Our Knights have made the big dance and are in line to play 2 teams with great tournament history. It all starts Friday night in Philly, where we will play UCLA who has been playing well as of late. Both teams are fighting through injuries, and the game will likely turn into who is healthy, out of foul trouble, and executing at a high level. Face it, our team has not looked good the past few weeks but are capable to challenge anyone if playing at their best. Check out all my thoughts on the bracket in this episode. I also recap the baseball and softball home series from the weekend as both face a challenging test this upcoming weekend. It all gets underway today and look forward to a great sports week. It has been some time since we have been in the tournament, and we are under the radar. I have seen no one picking our team, talking about even a chance to beat UCLA, so we can just go in a play. Either way, it has been a great year and enjoyed watching these players represent our great University. Hoping the underclassman will stay next year and let's get something building here at UCF. Good luck to all the teams and as always, Go Knights, Charge On!

Men's Basketball gets 1 win in Kansas City and should be set for a bid on Sunday (E71)

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 16:00:00 -0400

Neither game was pretty, but we get a much-needed victory against Cincy in Overtime before getting blown out by the 1st seed Arizona. Now we wait and see where UCF will land in the bracket during the Sunday Selection Show. I am hoping for a 10 or 11 seed in hopes to give us a better shot at making a run to the second weekend. One thing is certain, if we cannot get healthy and find our shooting touch, it could be one and done for our Knights. On the diamond, UCF baseball lost to Miami for the 2nd time and is hosting the first BIG 12 series versus Oklahoma State. They took game 1 Friday and look to keep it going over the weekend. The Lady Knights are hosting Baylor and also won on Friday in a pitcher's duel. They also have 2 more games against them and are playing up to the #15 ranking so far this season. Big series against Texas Tech next weekend and need to take as many as we can before that series. Of course, I give you my results from the BIG 12 Tournament and other scores from around the nation. Chaos is already started and getting excited about the tournament coming up next week. Speaking of tournaments, I coached in my flag football one this week. Advanced to the finals and ended up winning in overtime on the first play we called for the walk off. Great season and looking forward to my Basketball season beginning when we return to school. Hoping we get a good seed and that our Knight's teams can continue to show how we can compete in the league. Thanks for tuning in and as always, Go Knights, Charge On!

Knights fall to West Virginia and head to the BIG 12 Tournament with a 3-game losing streak (E70)

Sun, 08 Mar 2026 21:00:00 -0400

The shooting woes returned for the Knights as they made less than 40% of their attempts and struggle even more from 3 and the free throw line. Will they be able to turn it around in time to win even one tournament game this week? I give you my take on how I think the Knights will do, the results from the weekend, and how I see the tournament going for all the BIG 12 teams. On a positive note, Softball won 2 of 3 against #12 Oklahoma State in Stillwater. Timely hitting and pitching to come away with the first BIG 12 series of the year. They will be off until they host Baylor next weekend. Baseball hosted Murray State and swept the series. Friday and Saturday they were in control for most of the game, but Sunday they would fall behind 9-4, allowing 5 runs in the top of the 8th. In the bottom of the 9th, they rallied to score 6 runs with only 1 batter not reaching safely. Big momentum as they will host ranked Miami who they blew a 5-0 lead to down south just a few weeks ago. The madness is starting to ramp up. Conference championships this week and I also am in the playoffs with my flag football team. On top of all that, the 3rd quarter of school is wrapping up and looking forward to a great spring break week. Go luck to our teams this week, and as always, Go Knights, Charge On!

Knights have backed themselves into a corner and need a victory to secure 1st Round Bye in the BIG 12 Tourney (E69)

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 22:00:00 -0500

Our Men's Basketball team has dropped both home games to end the season and now more than ever needs a road victory against West Virginia to secure a top 8 seed and bye in next week's BIG 12 Tournament. With the 111-104 loss in Overtime on Space U Senior Knight, they are now tied with Cincy who faces TCU. Win and we are good, but a loss would mean TCU would have to beat Cincy or we would fall to the 9th seed. Pressure is on. Our Lady Knights are done as they fell to Kansas in the 1st round managing on 35 points in the contest. What is at stake for the Women's Basketball team is up in the air and feel we will know soon if a coaching change is happening. Baseball wins on Wednesday night versus FCGU and gets ready for a home series versus Murray State. Softball heads to Stillwater to face #12 ranked Oklahoma State. As always, I give weekly results, my predications for the weekend, and add in some tournament talk from the BIG 12 and NCAA. Finally, my story is long but have to give props to Themus Fulks for his connection to my stepson. He has made a fan for life and appreciate his interaction and time he gave my little man. Just a great guy and wish him all the best in however far we go this season and in his future. Thanks again and Go Knights, Charge On!

Knights fall to Baylor at Home on Saturday and it was a great Sports Weekend on Campus (E68)

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 18:00:00 -0500

Just when it looked as if we were going to force overtime, a foul on a jump shooter left our Knights with a home loss against the Bears. With 2 games left, they need to get some wins to ensure they have one bye in the BIG 12 Tourney. Senior Knight Space Game on Tuesday as the Knights look to close out with a home victory. The Lady Knights win at Houston and will be the #14 seed in the tournament. They will face #9 Kansas on Wednesday night. Will they win and advance, or will the season come to an end? So much going on around UCF this weekend. Baseball hosted USF and won Sunday to avoid the series sweep. Softball was unbeaten hosting the Charge On Classic and now has the week off before traveling to Stillwater to face a ranked BIG 12 Cowgirls squad. They are playing well and are ranked 23rd this week in the polls. Of course, I cover the results from Saturday and what implications we have with a week to play. My picks are in and we need to win and get some help to keep our position in 6th place for the end of season tournament. It is crunch time and it is that way from me at work as well. Coaching Flag Football, Basketball, and closing out the quarter preparing for exams. Crazy time of year and I took Saturday to recharge with a day at UCF. Baseball at 1pm, Softball at 5pm, and finished off with Basketball at 8pm. Only a 1-2 day as both Men's teams lost. Need a big week from Basketball as we have tomorrow and travel to West Virginia on Friday. Let's do this...Go Knights, Charge On!

Knights get the State of Utah Sweep with a huge victory over #19 BYU (E67)

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:00:00 -0500

It was a late tipoff, but I manage to stay up and watch our Knights knock off #19 BYU in Provo in front of 18,000 fans. This was a huge victory, on the road, versus a ranked opponent. While I do think it really secures a seed in the tournament, we need to continue to win and gain momentum as we enter the end of BIG 12 play. The Lady Knights fall to West Virgina on Senior Knight and have one last game in Houston to finish the season. Hoping to get one last victory on a very difficult season. Baseball and Softball have games this weekend at home, while men's basketball is set to host the Baylor Bears. Full day of Knights sports on Saturday. I take time to go over my picks from the week and predications for the weekend. Then we have a segment to take about the tournament and what caught my eye in the projections. Then, I finish up with reminding why I do my podcast as many new listeners may not be aware. Hope all our teams around Knight Nation have a great weekend and get some victories. Thanks for listening and as always, Go Knights, Charge On!

Knights get a big road win in Utah and stay out west to face BYU Tuesday (E66)

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 21:00:00 -0500

It isn't always pretty, but the UCF Men's Basketball found a way to get another BIG 12 road victory at Utah on Saturday. Another big test awaits as they get ready to face BYU in Provo on Tuesday. It is getting crazy in the conference and with only 4 more games for everyone the margin of error is shrinking. Going to be an exciting 2 weeks. The Lady Knights will finish up this week, and not sure if a change will be made in the off season. On a positive note, Softball is off to a fantastic start notching another 5 victories in 6 games over the weekend as they hosted the Space U Classic. Two victories over Ohio and Notre Dame, as well as a win over Charleston Southern, while only dropping a 6-5 contest to Penn State. Freshman pitching and timely hitting are helping the Knights with the early success. Baseball only won 1 of 3 in Jacksonville this week. Pitching woes continue to haunt them like last year and the offensive explosion from the weekend prior did not show up in Jacksonville. They will look to get back on track against JU on Tuesday before we welcome in our I4 rival USF Bulls for a 3-game series next weekend. Of course there is always the update from my picks, more college basketball updates, and my predictions for the upcoming week. Finish off with an update on my own teams I am coaching and looking forward to seeing how my teams perform. Make it a great week everyone, and as always, Go Knights, Charge On!

Knights get back on track with a win as others in the conference and Top 25 fall (E65)

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 05:00:00 -0500

Men's Basketball gets a much-needed victory to break the 3-game losing streak against TCU at home on Tuesday. While 8 of the Top 25 teams lose to unranked opponents. Utah helps us by defeating West Virginia and now we head west to take on Utah on Saturday and BYU on Tuesday. With 5 games left, the Knights need to continue to improve and get victories to help stay in the race of a tournament bid. Our Lady Knights dropped their 8th straight game as they lose at home to Kansas State in yet another blow out. With only 2 conference victories, and 3 games remaining, they will be lucky to get another victory before seasons end. In Baseball, our Knights went down to Miami to play the 20th ranked Hurricanes and led 5-0 until the Bottom of the 8th when Miami scored 2 runs. Then they followed it up with 3 in the 9th to send it to extra innings. We would score 1 in the 10th and 13th only to fall to a two-run homer as we could not close out the victory. Both Softball and Baseball have weekend games against multiple opponents. Softball is hosting the Space U Classic as Baseball heads to Jacksonville. As always, I go over how I did on my conference picks from the week and give my projections for Saturday's slate of games. Then finish off with some news that was big this week in College Basketball adding my take on some of those topics. It's another big weekend of sports and ready to see what our Knights can do.

Knights blow 14-point lead to West Virginia for 3rd loss in a row (E 64)

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 11:00:00 -0500

Knights fall to .500 in the conference after getting outscored 36-15 in the last 12 minutes on Saturday. They host TCU Tuesday, who is tied in the standings with the Knights. Can they get a much-needed victory at home before the Utah road trips? The time is now with only 6 games remaining and needing 9 to 10 conference wins to make the tournament. The Lady Knights drop their 7th straight contest to a ranked Baylor team. Only 4 games remaining to see if they can get some victories to close out the season. On a positive, both Softball and Baseball had great weekends. The ladies went 3-2, playing 3 ranked teams and knocking off #10 LSU on Saturday. The men swept Siena with 3 run rule games in 7 innings. I did better on predictions, but of course missed on our Knights, along with Arizona and Kansas. Another BIG Monday for the BIG 12 as Houston travels to Iowa State and I give my predictions for all the weekday games and of course my take on UCF tomorrow night. Lots happening around college basketball and a touch on a few topics to wrap up the episode. Hope everyone had a great President's Day weekend and need a big week from Knight Nation. Go Knights, Charge On!

More BIG 12 chaos and our Knights return home to face West Virginia (E63)

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 07:00:00 -0500

With our Knights on the mid-week bye, the BIG 12 had some major games to watch this week and even some upsets. Now we head into the home stretch with 7 games remaining, 4 at home and 3 on the road. Can the Knights stop the slide and remain in the mix for a March Madness bid? It is a race to 10 conference wins and none more important than the head-to-head matchup this weekend against the Mountaineers. The Lady Knights fall by 50 to West Virginia on the road, while Softball picks up a comeback victory over Missouri. I cover why I feel this weekend's game is so important and my thoughts on what the outcome may mean. Also, college basketball is at a very exciting stage with teams making end of season runs to become tournament teams. I talk about coaching rants, officiating, and more in my final segment.

Knights lose big at Cincy and is there reason to worry about a late season slide (E62)

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 21:00:00 -0500

It was an ugly display of basketball on Sunday in Cincinnati. Now with the midweek bye, the Knights need to regroup as they will face West Virginia who they are tied with in the standings. Lady Knights lose their 5th in a row as the schedule looks to have even more challenges with two ranked opponents coming up. The Top 25 had some great matchups this weekend and even a few top teams fell. The BIG 12 still has 6 ranked teams, with 4 in the top 10. BYU stayed in but need to start winning some games if they expect a high seed in the tournament this year. UCF must get 4 out of the next 7 I feel to be in and that will not be easy, especially if we do not play better than the past few games. Softball is underway with a very successful weekend ending 5-1 and has another weekend slate in Clearwater. Baseball with host their first series this weekend and need to perform better in 1 score games than they did last year to have a chance. Now with football over, I am in full basketball intel for the upcoming March Madness. Here is hoping our Knights can keep stay alive by taking care of business at home Saturday and next Tuesday. Go Knights, Charge On!

Knights get blasted out of Houston and now head to Cincy to see if they can get back on track (E61)

Sat, 07 Feb 2026 12:00:00 -0500

If you thought Iowa State was bad, Houston said watch this. Our Knights could not find shooting for the 3rd time this year on the road and could only manage 19 points in the first half. While not quite 30 points, it was a very bad display of basketball and to be considered a tournament team we need to limit these blowouts for loses. The Lady Knights also fell at home to Utah and with more top teams in conference to face, it could be a painful stretch for them. The Knights were not the only ones struggling as I did not do well on my picks with one upset no one would see coming. I give you my take on the games for this weekend and what I expect over the Knights next 5 games. Softball is underway hosting a tournament this weekend and excited to see if they can make another playoff run this year. And of course, I give you my pick for the Super Bowl. Another great weekend of sports as football season will come to a close Sunday night.

The Knights "Blast" 11th Ranked Texas Tech at Saturday's Space Game (E60)

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 08:00:00 -0500

Our Men's Basketball team gets its 2nd victory versus a ranked opponent at home during Saturday's Space Game. Even with injuries and sickness of some players, Coach Dawkins had a great game plan, and they played more physical than the visiting Red Raiders to earn an 88-80 win to move to 6-3 in conference play. The sit in 5th place as we head to face another ranked opponent, this time on the road in Houston. Can the Knights pull off another victory to make it 4 in a row? Meanwhile the Lady Knights fall in Ames to Iowa State and sit below the .500 mark for the first time this season. It is not looking good for their chances to have a winning season. Kansas takes down two ranked conference foes in 3 days and is showing that they may contend for a BIG 12 title. I let you know how I did on my picks and what my predictions are heading into this week's matchups. Also, should our Knights be ranked in the Top 25, and is a snub not to be. I give you my take and last, we talk about this crazy weather we have seen the past few days in Central Florida. Ready to see how our Knights fare in the game tonight and no matter the outcome, Go Knights, Charge On!

Cardiac Knights rally to take down Arizona State and now have 2 Top #11 teams to face (E59)

Sat, 31 Jan 2026 03:00:00 -0500

Our Knights are back to making us sweat out victories, but when we are getting wins, we will take it. Johnny and the team knock off another Duke alum, Bobby Hurley and his Arizona State team on Tuesday. We will now welcome in #11 Texas Tech at high Noon on Saturday. Do the Knights have enough to get a huge statement win at home. The Lady Knights head to Ames to take on Iowa State and need to show much improvement if they want a chance at a successful end of the season. We also had some more great BIG 12 match ups this week with more to come this weekend. I share how I did this week and what my expectations are for the games around the conference. Last thing was I touched on the Football presser from Thursday. Sounds like the staff is excited about the roster and ready to get moving towards Spring Practice.

UCF Men's Hoops gets another road victory, and we have a Super Bowl rematch (E58)

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:00:00 -0500

The UCF Knights secure another BIG 12 road win in Boulder on Saturday versus Colorado. Now they head back home Tuesday to host Arizona State before facing two Top 12 teams from our conference. The Lady Knights fell to #9 TCU on Saturday and home, losing by 17 points. While it was not a close contest, the team outscored them in the second half and showed some positive attributes. They will have the mid-week bye before they go on the road to face Iowa State on Saturday. Can they improve enough to win 5 of the last 9 games to finish above .500? We run down the Saturday games in the BIG 12 and what to expect in this week's match ups. I also talk about my take on the 2026 UCF Football Schedule. While I did not get into great detail, I do talk about some pros and cons I see for the fall. Lastly, a recap of Sunday's AFC and NFC championship games and who is representing each division in this year's Super Bowl.

Can UCF Men's and Women's Basketball Teams "Bounce" back from road blowouts? (E57)

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 21:00:00 -0500

Both the Men and Women's basketball teams struggled with the mid-week road games, losing them in blowouts. While both the home teams were ranked, we come to expect our Knights to put up a better challenge. The Men are on the road to Colorado for a much-needed road victory, while the Ladies host #9 TCU at Addition Financial. I give you my thoughts on the games and what I expect this weekend. As always, we see how I did on my picks and then give predictions for the slate of games this weekend. We are a third of the way in conference and both need to show improvement in the middle half of the schedule. I will cover the AFC and NFC Championship games for Sunday and give you my picks to make it to the Super Bowl. Even with a long episode, I will share a story I have been sitting on for a few weeks. So much to cover every time I write an episode, so squeezing it in on this one. Hope you enjoy the content, and as always, Go Knights, Charge On!

Men's Basketball falls to #1 Arizona while the Lady Knights win the Space Game (E56)

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 19:00:00 -0500

A tough loss in front of a sellout crowd for the Men's Basketball team. Knights battled to within 2 a few times in the 2nd half but could not overcome critical misses and mistakes down the stretch. They head to Ames to take on the Cyclones who have lost 2 in a row. The Lady Knights defeat Colorado in the Space Game and now will face 2 ranked opponents. I touch the other games in the Big 12, with more predictions for this week. NFL divisional games were also played this weekend. I give you my results and my take on the catch/interception. Finally, the CPF championship was last night, and Indiana capped off a perfect season. So many things going on over the 3-day weekend. I hope everyone had a relaxing one as I was up both nights with ten 16-year-olds enjoying celebrating birthdays.

Big Road Win for Men's Basketball as they are set to host #1 Arizona Wildcats Saturday (E55)

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 21:00:00 -0500

Great victory for the Knights in Manhattan as proving you can win on the road in the Big 12 is a must. However, the Women fell to Cincy in Overtime and have one more home game Sunday versus Colorado before facing 3 ranked conference foes. The Men will host #1 Arizona, who is 17-0 this season, at Addition Financial this Saturday. Tip is set for 4pm on ESPN. Many ranked teams, and undefeated teams fell this week as we begin the 3rd week of conference play. I go through how I did on my picks this week and also give you my thoughts on this week's Big 12 slate. Listen and see if I have our Knights knocking off the Wildcats, and what my prediction was for NFL Playoffs and CFP National Title Game. Portal window is closing and Coach Frost and the football team did well in some positions but will still need to assess anyone left that can fill a void, including the February high school signing day. Another great weekend of games and off on Monday. Have a great weekend and as always, Go Knights, Charge On!

Basketball Sweeps the Weekend and more Additions and Subtractions to UCF Football (E54)

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 21:00:00 -0500

Great job by both the Men's and Women's Basketball teams over the weekend. The Lady Knights get their first conference win on the road at Arizona, and the Men edge out Cincy at home. However, the Knights fall out of the Top 25, but I discuss my thoughts on how far they fell. We take a look at how my picks did from over the weekend, and I was more successful than normal. I also cover the BIG XII games during the week, along with my predictions. In the NFL, I also did well and touch on who won and what the matchups are for this weekend. I am holding off predictions for Friday's show, select my Big 12 predictions, and who I think will win it all in Miami Monday night.

More Portal Additions and Exits and Basketball Results from the Week (E53)

Sat, 10 Jan 2026 06:00:00 -0500

It was a busy week for the Knights as football continued to meet and sign players from the portal. Many exciting additions and some of those who have left found a new home. Both Women's and Men's Basketball drop contest on the road. I talk about each of the games and what to expect this weekend on the hardwood. I seem to be much better at picking basketball game predictions for everyone but my Knights. I am 0-2 on my selection of their games but doing well for the rest of the conference. More picks for the upcoming weekend and also NFL playoffs. Finish off with my visit to Knight Talk at the Ale House on Thursday and ready to enjoy a weekend of games. Hope everyone's year is off to a great start. Go Knights! Charge On!

Court Storm Part 2, and we have a QB from the portal (E52)

Mon, 05 Jan 2026 21:00:00 -0500

What an exciting weekend for Knight Nation. On Saturday, the Men's Basketball team knocked off #17 ranked Kansas Jayhawks for the 2nd time in 3 years. Students rushed the floor as the new players got their first taste of how our home court atmosphere can be. Then, on Sunday, Coach Frost secures Alonza Barnett III from JMU to be our new QB. Although exciting, we did have a few more enter the portal, until Horrace Lockett withdrew and rejoined the Knights for the 2026 campaign. About the only thing going the wrong direction right now is Women's Basketball as they dropped their 3rd straight conference game on Sunday. I also touch on the final weekend of NFL games and who made the playoffs. Sorry Tampa Bay, my Falcons rose up on the Saints and that sends the Panthers to post season. I also touch on the not so competitive CFP Quarterfinals and give my predictions for the upcoming games this week. Exciting few days of this year and let's see if we can keep it going.

Happy New Year Knight Nation...Let's catch up from the holiday week! (E51)

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 15:00:00 -0500

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday and Happy New Year! In this episode we will catch up with some of bowl games from the past week and look back at an NFL weekend that narrowed the playoff field down with only 1 spot in each remaining. I talk about those games as well as the amazing Monday Night game in Atlanta that I attended. Only a few match ups in the NFL, but 4 teams battle it out over the last spots and I catch you up on my fantasy football season. Then we head back to Knight Nation and cover the Women's Basketball result from NYE and what I expect on Saturday as the Men's Basketball start BIG XII play by hosting Kansas...again. I give you my take on what I would like to see the Knights accomplish in 2026 and give you how I do resolutions going into the new year. I do something a little different starting last year, and I am going to repeat it again. Welcome to 2026 Knight's fans and I look forward to an exciting year.

Merry Christmas and let's talk about sports (E50)

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 23:00:00 -0500

From the UCF Men's basketball team ending conference play 11-1, to Scott Frost new DB and O-Line coaches, there is much to be merry about this holiday season. Don't forget the great games we had in both college football and the NFL last week. With more to come over the next 6 days as we ring in the New Year, I give you my thoughts on sports past, present, and future. Plus, I share some Christmas traditions we have had over the years. Want to share, email me at UCF.1MoreKnight.com, or hit me up on Instagram - UCF_1MoreKnight or Twitter/X - @UCF_1MoreKnight. I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and rings in the New Year with excitement about what 2026 will hold. I will see you all in January as we prepare for Big XII Basketball and the playoffs for both college and pro football.

More Knights expected to hit the portal and 1st games of the CFP (E49)

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 03:00:00 -0500

More UCF players announce their intentions to enter the portal, while the count is approaching 1000 players looking for a new home next year. I talk about some of the holes we need to fill, while also updating you on some UCF Men's and Women's Basketball. Our teams have a few more games before taking off for the holidays and a tough Big 12 schedule approaches. We take a look back at last weekends college games and Heisman Award, as well as predictions for the 1st round of CFP games. We don't stop there as I also touch on NFL with a look back at last week's performances and what I expect this weekend. It is the start of fantasy playoffs and I am in a rematch with who I lost to in the finals last year. Will my team over perform and get me a victory? And last, I share a little story on the importance of semantics. My first semester has come to an end and looking forward to some much needed down time to end the year.

Can college sports get any crazier, and why so upset Knights' fans? (E48)

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 11:00:00 -0500

On today's episode, I discuss some of the topics that are bothering some around Knight Nation and revisit even more around the controversy that is the CFP. I share my predictions for the Playoff and which match ups I would have preferred. While I have predictions on all the bowl games, I put in my picks to ESPN and have a group you can join to compete against me. It is the group, 1MoreKnight and below is a link if you want to go against me. I give my take on the media's urgency in getting stories out without proper vetting of information and why that may not be a good practice. I also give out my NFL picks for the weekend, while wrapping up with a family Christmas story that some may relate to. Only 12 days until Christmas so hope your shopping is close to completion.

Fallout from the CFP Final Selections, and why UCF declines a bowl invite (E47)

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 07:00:00 -0500

Another year of selections, another year of controversy. It seems to be a debate every year whether or not the committee got it correct. I give you a recap of the games from Championship Weekend and my thoughts on the final rankings from the CFP committee. Hear my thoughts on the Irish declining a bowl bid, are the Tide worthy of a spot, and who is really to blame for two G5 schools getting in. We look back at this year's football team and talk about why going to a bowl was not in the Knights best interest. In other Knight News, the Men and Women both won Sunday and Johnny Dawkins has his team 8-1, the best start of his tenure. Can they keep it rolling into the Conference season, and can they keep up with the big boys in the Big XII. With 4 teams in the top 10 and 6 in the top 25, this year could be the hardest yet, but the Knights have their deepest team under Dawkins. Also, December has many memories for me, both good and bad, and I finish off with how this time of year has fared for me in the past. Lots to share in a busy week of college sports.

Coaches are stating their case for a spot in the CFP, who will make the cut? (E46)

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 22:00:00 -0500

So a few changes in the CFP going into championship week. Notre Dame slides to the cut line, while others are so far out they are starting to state why they should be in. Will the pleas matter in the end, and will some of the top teams falter along the way. It is set up to be an interesting weekend of games and selection. I share my take, update you on the Knights basketball teams, look back at my Big 12 predictions, list recruits who signed with us during the early signing period, and more drama in the coaching hires around college football. So many things happening this week it has been hard to keep up with it all.

Season ends in Provo, and Knights stop short of a bowl bid (E45)

Mon, 01 Dec 2025 22:00:00 -0500

We recap the game against BYU, cover all the match ups from the weekend, and talk college coaches. The Knights Volleyball team doesn't make the playoffs and the Men and Women's basketball teams are performing well. UCF season is over, but still much to be decided before the final CFP bracket.

Can the Knights spoil BYU's playoff bid? (E44)

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 15:00:00 -0500

The Knights head to Provo to see if they can play spoiler in week 14, while other match ups have major implications on conference championships. The CFP Notre Dame bias is likely to keep out a deserving team unless more college football chaos happens, which is always a possibility. I go through my thoughts on the game in Provo, the CFP selection, and the major games for the weekend. Men's and Women's basketball continue their winning ways, as Volleyball takes the first road game in the state of Kansas by beating the Wildcats. I run down the NFL games and who I see winning. I hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving. As for me, I am thankful for all those who have taken time to listen to me during this new endeavor.

A Senior Knight comeback and more chaos around college football (E43)

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 08:00:00 -0500

Well, it wasn't pretty, but it was a win for our Knights on Saturday. While many teams had easy opponents, there were a few tough match ups over the weekend. Surly will have more chaos for the CFP selections as we gear up for the last week of regular season games. I share some thoughts on our game versus the Cowboys, zip around some of the other results from Saturday, catch you up on other sports around Knight Nation, and give a recruiting flip that happened this weekend. I finish off with a story of my weekend and just getting excited for the upcoming holiday week.

Will the Knights keep bowl hopes alive against the Cowboys on Senior Knight (E42)

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 04:00:00 -0500

Last home game of the year and we need to send the seniors out with a victory. It could be an ugly game with two offenses that have struggled this season. Can the Knights overcome some of the injuries this week and show some improvement from the past two games? I give my thoughts on the match up and also give my predictions for the Top 25 and BIG XII. Also, I touch on the Men's and Women's Basketball teams from early this week, while both soccer teams have tournament games Thursday as we see if they can both continue to advance. Congrats to Virginia Tech and Coach James Franklin. And what is going on in Ole Miss? Rumors of ultimatums, plane flights, and not allowing Lane to coach in the bowl games. Don't make the decision easier if you want him to stay. I give my opinion on the situation and share a story of what I was doing 19 years ago this week and how it shape some things later in my life.

Is the CFP committee getting it right, or is it Irish bias (E41)

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 21:00:00 -0500

Another week another rise for the Irish. Here my thoughts on the rankings, along with my Top 25. I give you my Conference Championship game predictions as we are 2 weeks away from the end of the season. We had a great last 3 days for our sports teams, and can we keep it going as we approach the weekend.

Knights suffer a second BLOWOUT loss on the road (E40)

Sun, 16 Nov 2025 12:00:00 -0500

The Red Raiders hand the Knights their 6 loss of the year in a blowout with a score of 48-9. Injuries and poor execution doomed the Knights in Lubbock, and now they head home for one last home game before ending the season in Provo, Utah. Can the Knights beat an Oklahoma State team on Senior Night and earn a 5th victory? It would leave an outside chance, although slim, for an upset bid of BYU to make a bowl game. While it has been tough at times this year, remember how Gus left it. Give it time to see if Coach Frost and his staff can start to turn the corner and get us back to bowls and 8 win seasons. Then, continue the move to double digit wins and competing for BIG XII championships. It is not a quick and easy fix, so patience is needed.

In other sports, the Knights had an amazing Friday night with women's soccer, volleyball, and men's basketball all victorious. This week is a big one for many of our sports teams, as we are wrapping up some fall sports and at the beginning of the winter ones. More chaos in college football as we reach the final weeks of the season. Who will make championship games? I will share my new updated thoughts on Wednesday and the Oklahoma State preview on Thursday. I also cover how I did on my football picks for college and who I see winning this weekend in the NFL. Keep our heads up Knight Nation, we have a lot of things moving in the right direction.

UCF Football and Men's Basketball head to Texas for challenging opponents (E39)

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 06:00:00 -0500

It is a Texas two-step for the Knights this weekend. Football heads to Lubbock to face the #6 team in the nation, the Texas Tech Red Raiders, while Men's Basketball goes to College Station to face the Texas A & M Aggies. I give my breakdown of the Red Raiders and my thoughts on how this game might go with the injuries we are facing. Also, busy weekend around Knight Nation with Women's Soccer hosting a first round tournament game Friday, the Men's soccer in the Championship game Sunday, and Volleyball at Morgantown to take on West Virginia. How well will all the Knights teams do this weekend?

What in the CFP is going on? (E38)

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 00:00:00 -0500

Another questionable week of CFP rankings. I break down where I think they went wrong and touch on the upcoming games and key match ups that may decided who will be in and who will be out. With 3 more weeks of chaos, who knows what will happen.

The Knights lose the first Space Game, but had a chance for the upset (E37)

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 19:00:00 -0500

The Knights come up just short on pulling out another Space Game win. Bowl aspirations took a hit along with many of our Knights falling to injury. I break down the game, share my thoughts, and give an update on some of my predictions. It was not a great weekend for me, as flight cancellation caused me to be on the road driving for over 16 hours. I did cover some of the other sports and what we have coming up this week. I have a lot of catching up to do so get ready for an active few days on the 1 More Knight podcast.

Did the CFP get it right? I have two teams I feel were snubbed (E36)

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 21:00:00 -0500

I am probably on my own with the two teams I believe did not get placed correctly in the CFP. Here are my thoughts on which teams should be replaced. Remember, it is early November and a lot of football is yet to be played.

T Minus two days until the Space Game, is the offense ready for takeoff? (E35)

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 20:00:00 -0500

So much to get to, so little time. Listen to my take on the upcoming space game versus Houston along with other sports around Knight Nation, including Men's and Women's Basketball. A little quiet in the Top 25, but the BIG XII host ESPN GameDay for a second consecutive week. Will the Knights win Friday and get back on pace for a bowl game? I give you my prediction and will also be there live to watch it.

A Knights game that was un"BEAR"able to watch (E34)

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 12:00:00 -0500

It was a very disappointing trip to Waco as the Knights fall to the Bears 30-3. We will need to shake it off quickly as we prepare for Houston and the Space Game on Friday night. Houston is coming off a loss to West Virginia and will be eager to spoil our undefeated Space Game streak. There were many upsets this week and I touch on those as well as other UCF sports around Knight Nation. Busy week for UCF athletics this week and hope the first week of November goes better than the first day did.

UCF Men's Basketball tips off Monday and here is my preview (E33)

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 11:00:00 -0400

Johnny Dawkins enters year 3 of the Big XII with a whole new roster. The conference is stacked with talent and UCF is picked to finish 15th, just like football. Can the Knights be competitive and make a run at a possible NCAA tournament bid? Only time will tell and I share my thoughts on the season and Coach Dawkins. I will be interested to see how these players adapt to Johnny's style of play and if they can find chemistry in such a short time together.

Knights on the road to Waco after the BYE to take on the Bears (E32)

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 22:00:00 -0400

With 5 games remaining, none is more pivotal than the contest this week at Baylor. With both teams needing a win to get closer to bowl eligibility, each team's season rest on the result of this game. Knights are coming off a BYE and can look to gain some much needed momentum as they finish off Coach Frost first season back. Coach Miranda could be on the hot seat with another loss and with the vacancies starting to open up, other teams could be joining the coaching search. I give my thoughts on Baylor, the game, other top match ups, and the other sports around Knight Nation. Have the Knights improved enough to finish Saturday with a victory? I give my prediction and much more.

Bears, Cougars, and Raiders, Oh My! (E31)

Mon, 27 Oct 2025 19:00:00 -0400

So with the Knights on a BYE, and me on a short vacation, this Monday episode is getting you caught up on the Saturday action around the BIG XII and Top 25. Baylor looks beatable, Houston wins again, and Texas Tech looked angry. These are our next 3 opponents and we need a way to win 1 of them to increase our chances at a bowl bid. I talk about other teams around Knight Nation, and Basketball is a week away from Tip-Off. It is an exciting time of year and I give you my predictions, results, and thoughts about what is happening not only at UCF, but around college sports.

Dawkins returns to Cameron and other sports around Knight Nation as football is off this week (E30)

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 23:00:00 -0400

With no game this weekend, I turn to the exhibition game at Duke welcoming back Coach Dawkins. While we lost big, I got a chance to see some of our newest Knights in action. I have a lot to learn about this team and look forward to seeing them live and how they fare this season. We talk volleyball and soccer, as well as, our predictions for the BIG XII and Top 25. Since I am traveling this weekend, I set my picks for NFL as well. It is a busy time of year around UCF Athletics.

Knights defeat West Virginia on Homecoming and head into the BYE week with their first conference win (E29)

Sun, 19 Oct 2025 15:00:00 -0400

Knights come away with a homecoming victory over West Virginia. All around dominant performance and a much needing conference win. Now during the bye the team will need to get healthy and strengthen the offense for this 5 game run of many top teams in the conference. With the Texas Tech loss, BYU is the only undefeated team in the nation and is tied atop the conference with Cincy. It is about to get crazy in the BIG XII and it already has been a crazy 8 weeks for the Top 25. Mid-October is here and there are many surprises. Buckle up for this last 6 weeks and also many other sports around Knight Nation are battling to make post season play. Basketball is right around the corner and I also talk about my how my Saturday predictions went and give you my picks around the NFL. Also, my volleyball teams walked away with County Championships yesterday, so it was a great Saturday for Coach.

Homecoming at the Bounce House, which team gets the first conference win (E28)

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 22:00:00 -0400

It's the returning coach's bowl, and how will get their first conference win of the year. Our Knights will turn back to Tayven Jackson as Cam is ruled out for this game. With all the injuries to West Virginia, the BYE week should not matter and the Knights should handle business at home. I talk about the game, plus vent about all the flip flopping from others covering the Knights. While things change during a season, some change their minds every other day. I trust Frost and the coaching staff are doing everything they can to get this team winning again. I give my prediction of this game and others around the BIG XII and Top 25. Football games in October is where anything can happen. Which teams will keep their dreams alive, and which one will take an even further step back from the championship race. It should be another fun weekend in college sports.

Knights fall at Cincy and still looking for that first conference win (E27)

Mon, 13 Oct 2025 16:00:00 -0400

The Knights had more plays, longer time of possession, and kept Cincy to 20 points. Unfortunately, the offense could only produce 1 field goal and a late touchdown to come up short. While some of the same mistakes arose, Cam came in for the injured Tayven and moved to ball through the air and his legs. When will the Knights clean up the mistakes and just how dismal is the season. I talk about what I take away from the game and where I see potential in the last 7 weeks of the season. I run down my picks, which were the best so far this season, and yet we still had some surprises. Let's talk about those and more around Knight Nation as we prepare for another important week in UCF sports.

Knights need a big road win at Cincy, can they pull it off? (E26)

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 20:00:00 -0400

After splitting the first 10 contest, the Knights are on the road at Cincy this week to see if we can get a big road win and spoil the Bearcats season. Many big match ups this week in both the BIG XII and the Top 25 to discuss. We take a trip around Knight Nation to update you on some of the other sports and give you a wrap up of my NFL picks from last week. Not very good on my predictions lately. I end with a little of my perspective on the season and just look forward to a big game this Saturday.

Knights get "Stuffed" at home against Kansas (E25)

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 10:00:00 -0400

The Knights fall to 3-2 as they squander an opportunity for a BIG XII win at home. After an efficient first half, scoring on all 4 possessions, the UCF offense fails to get a first down in the next 4 drives and finds themselves down 27-20. While the defense would not let up any more scores, the offense would move the ball down and fail on every opportunity to tie up the game to send it into overtime. While injuries played a role, questionable play calling when the run game became unsuccessful was part of our undoing. Coach Frost took accountability and knows improvement is a must if we are going to be able to compete this season. The BIG XII had some excellent match ups as well as some surprises in the Top 25. I cover it all and other sports around Knight Nation before giving you my Sunday picks in the NFL.

Knights look to "Bounce" back against Kansas on Saturday! (E24)

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

After both teams suffered a loss last Saturday, one team will get a very important victory on Saturday. While most give the Knights very little chance to pull off the upset at home, I think the "Bounce House" could prove to be a tough environment for the Jayhawks. I break down the stats, give you my take, and talk about the other games around the nation. Join in as I cover all things UCF and college football.

Knights fall in Manhattan, but Week 5 had some exciting match ups (E23)

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 14:00:00 -0400

While are Knights take their first loss of the season, I am still very optimistic about our program. Battling a tough Kansas State team on the road, fighting through injuries, and playing from behind, our Knights never stopped competing. Also, Week 5 proved why I love college football. Many games surprised me and there were some great match ups. I talk about the games from the Top 25 and BIG XII, and touch on today's NFL slate.

Knights take on Kansas State with a Heavy Heart (E22)

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 23:00:00 -0400

Knights have their first road test of the year and it's the first of 9 straight conference opponents. While facing adversity on the road is the norm, the Knights also face the tragic loss of O-Line Coach Clark who passed away Sunday night. After suffering a medical emergency just the week before, the team will have to continue the season with a heavy heart and motivation to honor him with their effort on the field. While I do touch on all my normal topics, please check out this link to help support Coach Clark's family and keep them in your thoughts and prayers. https://rebrand.ly/ts-ucf-football-shop

Knights move to 3-0 after beating UNC (E21)

Sun, 21 Sep 2025 12:00:00 -0400

Our Knights beat the Tarheels 34-9 and end the non-conference slat undefeated. We showed improvement, but still have some work to do. Also, we go over the big match ups from the BIG XII and the Top 24 from Week 4. The NFL has 5 back up Quarterbacks starting this week and I share my thoughts, as well as touching on some other sports around Knight Nation. It was a long week for coach and I share how I am feeling "my age" this weekend.

UNC versus UCF Preview in an exciting week 4 of games

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 22:00:00 -0400

Not much info from the presser, but I am okay with that. Looks like we are dialed in on winning, "just another game", but is it? Fox is airing the game at 3:30 and there is plenty more to talk around the BIG XII and Top 25. We catch up with some of the other sports around campus, along with an update on my Fantasy Football challenge. I look forward to sharing on Sunday my experience from attending the game live. Hop in and listen to my perspective and selections for the weekend.

This is why we play the games; Week 3 Recap (E19)

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 11:00:00 -0400

Every week there is bound to be chaos. Week 3 was no different with some top teams falling, some surprising teams better than expected, and some clips worth listening to. Listen as I give a recap of the college football games, how I fared in my picks, and other sports teams results for UCF. I also touch on Week 2 match ups in the NFL and a success story of mine that brings me back to the date a couple of times over the past years.

Knights on a BYE, but great match ups in Week 3 (E18)

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 22:00:00 -0400

While our Knights are on the BYE, other fall sports have some key games this weekend. I take a look around the BIG XII and give you my take on some of the games from there and the Top 25. I discuss the AP Poll and how it is way to early for some of these rankings. We also have some reactions to Week 1 of the NFL. Football season is in full swing and look forward to covering all the fall sports over the next few months.

What a Knight! and a Week 2 Recap (E17)

Sun, 07 Sep 2025 13:00:00 -0400

After a 1-hour delay, the night started with a Nixon 96-yard kickoff return. Then the nights ran all over North Carolina A&T with Jackson, Brown, and Nixon scoring 2 rushing touchdowns, Gage with 1, and a defensive strip sack for a score. Offense added two field goals with one ending the 1st half to go up 40-0. Soccer and Volleyball were also in action the past few days and I recap the Top 25 and Big XII football scores from the weekend. As always, there were some results that were a surprise which is why I love college football. You never know what can happen each week.

It's time for Week 2 and Tayven Jackson gets the start (E16)
