After watching this video, I just received a UCF diploma for a B.A. in Hospitality.

Nominating this for a HOF post.

I had to go there last week. The campus seemed dead on for a school night. Not much going on in the stadium or on campus. I saw more people leave the volleyball stadium than the baseball game.

I'd be all for a QF "dice roll" statue somewhere. Preferably over the visitor's entrance.

Not sure you realize the spike in construction costs we had with the great inflation of 2020.

prices of construction materials are up almost 60% from 2014.

That means a $266M stadium now costs roughly $425M.

Commodities will go higher and higher. Look at today's price of Gold.

When have they ever gone down? Maybe one year, but the trend has always been up. I bought my first new car in 1982 a Camaro for less than 10k

There is a relation to Inflation. It makes them go higher, always.  Even higher when inflation surges as in last few years.

It isn't what we expected with the hype, but it will be our stadiun on campus. Judy should have put her time and effort into building an OCS instead of railroading the magic Leavitt created. Judy decisions only put USF football back about 20 years in a the CUSA 2.0 known as the AAC. The good news is we finally have leadership on campus that prioritizes athletics and a coach that is aggressive that can coach players up. Bad news we won't have a stadium until 2027 and are stuck in the AAC for the unforseeable future. All we can do is beat the teams on the schedule and make sure we bring our A games to whoop dat ass when we play power  conference teams. I would love to see one or two upsets this year against Bama and the U.

I have it on good authority that advanced renderings will be released during the spring game.

I think the Miami game will be huge on where the season goes. A win and we are in playoff conversation. A loss and that becomes less likely even if we win AAC.

1. It will be at home and it could be close to a sell out

2. Very likely that it is televised as part of AAC TV contract

3. ACC will be watching
