In addition to playing an ACC team there are a few other reasons to head out to Bright House stadium this weekend, including:

• Former UCF football player Big Mike from American Idol fame will be singing the national anthem
• There will be a pre-game ceremony to remember the fallen heroes of 9/11 flags will be handed out on entry and UCF will be honoring a brave NYC firefighter who was on-duty that day.

So not that the football game wasn’t enough, there are now a few additional reasons why BHNS will be the place to be Saturday night in Orlando!

See the UCF release for more info on game day activities.

This guide is still pretty popular from search engines so I added current information regarding tailgate times and updated some general information that was out of date. Also added the MOAT to my recommendations!

Hope this is helpful and if you see any corrections, please let me know!

Didn’t take too much, but you’ll notice I upgraded to a HD camera this year. These are just two videos from Memory Mall, one featuring Shanna McLaughlin posing with “the” Buddha UCF tailgate cooler.

One of my more popular posts from search engines still remains my 2006 post for adding UCF Football schedule to your Google Calendar. I’ve been using Yahoo Sports as the ICS source all these years but just before this season that stopped working so I’ve updated the original post with a new link that works for those interested.

This was a day of great change for our group as we decided to no longer deal with the stress and headaches of Memory Mall this year. So for the first time on campus we setup shop elsewhere and overall lead to a very enjoyable relaxing experience! Ironically Shanna McLaughlin (of Axis locker room shoot fame) ended up setting up shop for pics and autographs right across from our old spot and in our place was a Gator tent. Oh well.

I felt very good about offense and QB play, a great sign because we’ve been very slow to start out for awhile now. Defensively I think we have some work ahead of us on the line and in the secondary before NC State comes to town this week. That’s for another day, for now there here are some pictures from around campus and some crowd shots in the stadium. HD videos from around campus to follow shortly.

Campus and Stadium pics from Opening Day

And for the pic of the day, I present Shanna McLaughlin with Budda’s new UCF cooler!

Hope to see everyone out at Bright House Stadium this Saturday to start what I believe will be one of the best UCF football seasons ever. In honor of the new UKNIGHT campaign, check out this video of past UCF legends to get you pumped!
