IMPORTANT: Game has been changed from 3:30pm to 1pm.

Here is the plan for what will be a sad day in UCF football. It is the last time we’ll see greats like Joe Burnett and Shareff Rashad in a UCF uniform.

TIMELINE
8:00am: Tailgate starts
9:00am: Start cooking breakfast
12:00pm: Tailgate Breakdown
1:00pm: Kickoff (please try to be in stadium EARLY to cheer on seniors)

LOCATION
We likely will setup in our “new” location that we found last game. It’s just southeast of where we normally are, next to those classroom buildings.

FOOD
Due to time change to 1pm kickoff we are now going to do a breakfast tailgate! So please take a look at what others are bringing below and bring a tasty treat. We’ll make sure we have access to power outlets to be able to use appliances. Ideas: pancakes, french toast, sausage, bacon, donuts, eggs, fruit, etc.

DRINKS
Normally I state that drinks are on your own, and that will be the case for beer, but it may be good for some to bring some OJ, champaign (mimosa), milk, etc.

RESPONSE
So please respond in the comment field below with the following info:

1) Head count you are responding for
2) Approx time you plan to arrive at tailgate and are you eating with us?
3) What food and/or drinks you will be bringing

Welcome to Keith Clanton who signed a national letter of intent with UCF today! Clanton is a huge pickup for Kirk and the Knights, without a doubt one of the biggest signings in UCF basketball history. He is a 6′8 power forward who plays locally at Orlando Christian Prep with a great resume including:

• 1A basketball player of the year in the state of Florida
• MVP of the AAU National Championship
• 2007-2008 Orlando Sentinel player of the year.
• Florida Class 1A All-State First Team
• Led Orlando Christian Prep to a state title & 27-2 record

Here is video of him signing via WFTV.

Here is the article in the Orlando Sentinel.

Kirk appears to have done an amazing job in recruiting. We have one of the youngest teams in the nation but we have one bright future. I think we’re going to have a surprisingly great year even though we have 8 freshman and only 2 upperclassmen. Sure we’ll have some lumps with all the youth, but I like this team…I like them a lot. We had two of the greatest dunks in UCF history in the same game courtesy of Dave Diakite and Jermaine Taylor. Here are pics of Diakite’s dunk courtesy of Brandon at UCFSports.com.

Let’s pack the Arena for USF on Dec 6th! We owe the Bulls big time.

Finally got a chance to settle down and upload some photos over the past two games as well as Spirit Splash 2008. There’s really not much to say about what’s going on with the team except that I feel terrible for the 5 starting seniors that are starters and have given their all this year and over the past 4 years. I’m talking about Pat Brown and the awesome defensive backfield of Rashad, Venson, Neal, and Burnett. I hate that they have to go out on a losing season without a bowl trip. Regardless of how frustrated you may be with the team thanking those guys should be reason enough to come out to the last game on Thanksgiving weekend. On to the photos and videos, I’ll be honest it’s not my best work…I’ve been slacking.

It seriously was probably one of my favorite shows in the 20+ years I’ve been going to games. Great job Marching Knights!

On a related note we took tailgating to a new level with 2 TVs and Direct TV satellite to watch NFL package! Too bad that rain struck for much of the day, once again. Lastly your heart has to go out to the defense, especially the seniors DBs. Don’t give up on the team, get out there on homecoming and cheer them on. There are only 2 home games left and the players, especially the seniors that have done so much for this program deserve it!
