This shouldn’t be lost in all of the excitement about Brady. Jameis Winston was one of the hardest-working dudes in that building and has done amazing things for the Tampa Bay community since being drafted in ‘15. I’ll miss him and will be pulling for him wherever he ends up.
I am THRILLED to announce that I’m joining the
@PewterReport
team! That still feels surreal to type and part of me is still processing that this is real. Scott is a true legend of Bucs media and I can’t thank him enough for seeing something in me and bringing me on board. (1/2)
CBS will air rest of Antonio Brown's interview Friday. Nate Burleson today: "He basically was saying this wasn't a family like everybody thought it was. From the outside looking in, it seemed like I was quitting on my brothers, he said. Some of these guys aren't my brothers."
Win or lose, we need to have a serious conversation about where this program is headed. Recruiting is going well, but a 21-point loss to ECU, a home loss to Navy and blowing a 28-0 lead to your 1-win rival is not going to inspire ANY confidence going into the Big 12.
Asked which of his UCF teammates will be here at the Combine next year, Javon Baker named Kobe Hudson, KJ Jefferson and Brandon Adams - but he could’ve gone on.
“We got a lot of guys at UCF. I ain’t gonna lie to you.”

You know what you should do if you’re mad about UCF’s bowl placement? Show up anyway. This team deserves the full support of Knight Nation, regardless of bowl/opponent. It’s a short drive for a lot of folks and it’s one last chance to see some UCF football before next August.
Johnny Dawkins lost the locker room so badly that UCF overcame a 20-point second-half deficit on the road to force overtime and then win the game by 7… against a team that was previously 10-0 at home this year 🤔
Sunday will mark exactly six years since Chris Godwin's first career touchdown catch, a 39-yarder from Jameis Winston to beat the Saints at Raymond James Stadium on New Year's Eve.
Rookie WR Chris Godwin's 39-yard touchdown catch with nine seconds left gave the Buccaneers a 31-24 victory over the division-winning Saints, reversing a recent trend of last-second losses.

WR Breshad Perriman after practice today. I asked him about his thoughts on the Knights’ upcoming season. His answer: “You know what time it is. Undefeated again. Another one.”
Remember when the best player in program history decided to transfer because he believed the team now belonged to his friend, who he helped coach and mentor while rehabbing a catastrophic leg injury? I remember.

If you’re gonna mention that LSU was depleted, why purposefully leave out the fact that UCF was without its Heisman-contending quarterback?
New UCF LB Antonio Grier Jr. (feels wild to type!) from 2019-2021:
-199 tackles (115 solo), 10 sacks, 22 TFL, 4 FF, 2 FR, 2 INT
-All-AAC Second Team in 2020 and 2021
GREAT player, GREAT culture guy. Love this get so much for UCF.
We’re coming up on one year since the last time I was happy with
@UCF_Football
. The win at Tulane on 11/12/22.
Since then, UCF has:
-Lost to Navy at home
-Scraped by USF
-Gotten blown out in the AACCG
-Gotten blown out by Duke
-Blown a 28-point in its Big 12 home opener
Not re-signing the heart and soul of your franchise is bad enough, but handling the situation this poorly and treating your captain like this is a horrible way to do business. JBB better hope the team he’s constructing wins another Cup soon or it’s going to get ugly.
Steven Stamkos on leaving Tampa Bay after 16 seasons to join Nashville: "The toughest part is trying to hang on to something that maybe isn't trying to hang on to you, and that was the tough part for sure."
How good is
@UCF_Softball
’s No. 16 recruiting class?
Of the teams in the New Big 12, the Knights have the highest-ranked class.
From the
@ExtraInningSB
Top 50:
16 - UCF
21 - Oklahoma State
37 - Texas Tech
Just outside of the Top 50 - Houston, Kansas.
I’m so unbelievably tired of the Rays disrespect. Every single team gets its all-stars introduced but somehow they skip over Wander Franco and Shane McClanahan???

@ESPN_WomenHoop
It’s still going to be a different thing when recruiting to GA. It’s a big time school with a campus, graduate programs, etc. Sure, FL is a nice place but UCF is a middling institution, no offense intended.
If a player opts out of the 2020 season and you don’t like it or don’t agree with it, keep that opinion to yourself. And definitely don’t express that opinion directly to the player. These guys have lives outside of football and they don’t owe anyone an explanation.

Thank you for the memories, Brett. You have so many lifelong fans of yours here in the Bay that will support you forever.
Might wanna cry because it’s over, but we’ll choose to smile because it happened! Thankful for your time as a Ray!
UCF fans have been theorizing all morning about some big news that’s supposed to drop at some point and as the 4:00 hour approaches, people are now talking about the head coach’s parking job at the facility today.
Happy Thursday.

Shaquem Griffin posted 18.5 sacks and 33.5 tackles for loss over his last two seasons at UCF. Four forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries and two interceptions.
In the Peach Bowl against Auburn: 12 tackles (six solo, 3.5 for loss) and 1.5 sacks.
Legend 🐐
We already knew that Central Florida viewed a win over a skeleton of a Florida team as their Super Bowl. But I’m actually glad that they reminded us. It further proves that they have little brother syndrome, and therefore that they acknowledge that their program is inferior.
Between the 21-point comeback and the Big 12 news, everyone dunking on Gus Malzahn and UCF during the first half of Thursday’s game have to be in shambles 😂
Some of y’all going in on Angel Reese for being “classless” for hitting the “you can’t see me” on Caitlin Clark but you loved it when Clark was doing it 🤨
Stat that I might’ve known at some point but was just reminded of and feel like I need to put it out there again:
Only two players in NFL history totaled 1,000 tackles, 20 sacks and 10 interceptions in their first eight seasons.
Ray Lewis.
Lavonte David.
That’s the list.
