UCF fans are sick and tired of how the hometown paper treats the home team and we want our feelings heard. Members of the UCFSports.com Dungeon message board are pulling their money together to rent an airplane banner to fly over UCF just before the USF game from 6pm – 7pm next Saturday night. The message, while still subject to some change currently will read:

WE TRUST UCF NOT THE SENTINEL

If you are intersted in donating, you can click the donate button below. It is setup to go to a paypal account for Donald L (ucfdoc) who has organized this effort with a local company. Neither Donald nor myself get any of your payment info, that is all through paypal. As of Friday night $230 has been donated, however the final bill comes in at $500.

Also if you have any better suggestions for what the banner should say, please do share! It has to be 30 characters or less…

UCF pitched a no hitter against Wagner on St Patty’s Day using two different pitchers. Add to that Coach Jay Bergman getting his 1,200th win and you have yourself an eventful night of baseball. It’s been quite a year for UCF baseball so far as we are now ranked 16th in the nation! Be sure to head down there and check out a few games!

Here’s the blog posting on the no hitter on the Orlando Sentinel.

Yes it is that yearly site refresh that I always do before football season. Although this time it wasn’t for fun, it was more out of necessity. I wanted to switch from Joomla CMS to WordPress blogging software as it will make it so much easier for me to keep this site updated throughout the year.

The biggest change besides the look is I put the useful links right on the homepage along with RSS feeds to great UCF news sites like Biggie’s KnightNation, Kyle Hightower’s Orlando Sentinel Knight blog, and the official UCF Athletics site. This was about me as much as anyone else as I can now go to one spot and keep tabs on all the best spots for UCF stories. Hopefully it proves useful to others as well.

Hope you like it. Click Contact link above if you have any questions or comments…

Don’t forget boys and girls that UCF baseball season has started. It’s always nice to sit back, relax and take in a game at The Berg. There are some great games this year at home including UF, Michigan out of conference, then great conference games vs national powers like Rice.

Hope to see some of you out at the games!
