Cyclones attending University of Central Florida game?

I assume they don't want people to think of them as a directional school. They should have reverted to their original name of Florida Tech.

Agree completely.

Not gonna lie

Florida Tech sounds pretty kick ass

I'm pretty sure they hate being called "Central Florida" but idk why

UCF is preferred from what I've seen elsewhere

My guess it is similar to TCU, where the school identifies with the acronym and not what the acronym stands for.

They are Space U although I always get confused when they wear those uniforms cause they look kind of Carolina blue at times

The women play the Knights (had to look up their nickname) Saturday at 12:00 eastern in Orlando. Local Cyclone's should pop over. There will probably be like 500 fans at the game and you can sit really close and get a good view of our team. It's a treat to set really close in a quiet gym and be able to hear everything.

@MeanDean you close enough to be going to this game?

It's about 2 1/2 hours away, but no, am not going.

Yeah that’s a bit of a hike. I thought this wasn’t going to be a very good game, but given who they have beaten, it very well could be.

My freshman UCF son lives literally directly across the street from their basketball arena and two blocks from the football stadium. But he's so sports-apathetic that he'll probably never attend a UCF game during his time there. What a waste of his primo location.

When my son was in grad school, the students could go to everything for free. They did have to sign up for the football ticket before each game just in case too many might want to go. He was sports obsessed so it was great it didn’t cost anything.

We were walking around campus and I saw Tacko Fall. I asked my son if that was who it was, and he’s was like Mom, who else could that possibly be? Yeah, good point.

I prefer the UCF area. It’s a super easy drive from there to the Kennedy Space Center and Cocoa Beach. Really short drive to Blue Springs State Park and the manatees. There’s a cool free Vietnam War Museum nearby. But I prefer outdoor stuff to downtowns.

I've been to Blue Springs State Park. It is beautiful. I'm planning on staying close to campus as I do not want to rent a car & will be walking or Ubering.
