Speaker 1: Sports Page with The Orlando Sentinel at FM ninety six
Speaker 1: to nine.
Speaker 2: In the games, Mike the Bulldog BEYONDI Jr. R.
Speaker 3: Bulldog Sports Page brought you by Koffin and Lynd Injury Attorneys.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Mike Beyonki, Good morning, How are you doing good?
Speaker 4: I'm excited today we're gonna have UCF coach Gus Malzon
Speaker 4: on our show at eight point thirty as a couple
Speaker 4: of UCF alumnus. I'm curious what you guys think about
Speaker 4: the season. Obviously, UCF opens their season tomorrow night at
Speaker 4: the Bounce House against New Hampshire, a team they should
Speaker 4: roll over. So Gus had his first losing season ever
Speaker 4: as a head coach last year six and seven, after
Speaker 4: they lost their bowl game. Personally, I thought just making
Speaker 4: a bowl game in the first year in the Big
Speaker 4: twelve was a pretty good accomplishment. I'm curious, though, what,
Speaker 4: as UCF fans, how many wins do you think they
Speaker 4: need to have this year for you guys to be satisfied?
Speaker 2: Would seven or eight be too high?
Speaker 3: Do you think?
Speaker 5: No? No, I don't think so. I want to go
Speaker 5: with eight wins. I'd love to see eight wins.
Speaker 4: Eight wins, so that would that would keep you satisfied
Speaker 4: they went eight and four.
Speaker 5: I mean, like you said, I was satisfied last season.
Speaker 5: What about you, Lench, I will.
Speaker 3: Be satisfied if they win all the games they should win,
Speaker 3: and perhaps maybe one or two that they're underdogs in.
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna have a good I think they're
Speaker 4: gonna be really good. I think kJ Jefferson, their beastly
Speaker 4: quarterback who transferred from Arkansas.
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna have a big year.
Speaker 4: I think they could win nine I did all right.
Speaker 4: I think they could finish, you know, fourth in the
Speaker 4: Big Twelve. I'm not saying they're gonna win the Big Twelve.
Speaker 4: I think they could win nine games this year. So
Speaker 4: we'll see what happens. But I sort of agree with
Speaker 4: Taco Bob. If they could win eight games, you know,
Speaker 4: finish five hundred in the league in their second year,
Speaker 4: I think that'd be okay. I mean, they got they
Speaker 4: have two humpty dumpties to start the season, so that's
Speaker 4: two gimme wins.
Speaker 3: Well a lot of times, so yeah, these days, you
Speaker 3: got to don't ever let your guard down.
Speaker 5: And at the end of the day, dog as alumnus.
Speaker 5: I can't speak for Pat, but as two alums, I
Speaker 5: hope that our uh the nil money that we contributed,
Speaker 5: you know, to pull some of these people, I hope.
Speaker 2: I hope it goes to good use.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, Speaking of college football, this is for for
Speaker 4: the college football historians out there. So this is the
Speaker 4: forty year anniversary of the nineteen eighty four Florida Gators
Speaker 4: team that won a school first SEC title was later
Speaker 4: stripped away for rampant cheating. Florida has always sort of
Speaker 4: disassociated itself from that team. Well, they're gonna honor that
Speaker 4: team on homecoming this year again, the forty year anniversary.
Speaker 4: The team was coached by the late Charlie Pell, who
Speaker 4: was fired amid a huge NCAA investigation. The Gators were
Speaker 4: hammered for all sorts of violations back then. What do
Speaker 4: you guys think about that? They're going to honor the
Speaker 4: team now. I went back and looked at some of
Speaker 4: the violations.
Speaker 2: Is this the old time heals all wounds mentality?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: Well, I think it's more that, Hey, college football has changed.
Speaker 4: Reggie Bush is getting his highsman trophy back. And I
Speaker 4: went and looked at some of the violations back then,
Speaker 4: boosters were banned from the program. One booster was banned
Speaker 4: from the program for giving a player fifty dollars for
Speaker 4: washing against car And here, how about this one and
Speaker 4: delivering some beef to the player.
Speaker 2: So yeah, send them, send him a bunch of beef
Speaker 2: to their home. Seems trying to mild by today's standards.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it does. So I'm actually sort of glad
Speaker 4: they're doing this.
Speaker 3: Hey, I want to give you guys a heads up
Speaker 3: on something also college football related. Make sure you watch
Speaker 3: the new Netflix documentary Connor Stallions Fantastic signing guy.
Speaker 1: Was the big fat liar. He lies about everything. You
Speaker 1: have to watch it. I'm just telling you for entertainment purposes,
Speaker 1: you should watch.
Speaker 3: This all right?
Speaker 2: Does everything? He is everything he's saying, there a lie.
Speaker 3: I watched the documentary. I think you'll be surprised. Pull dog.
Speaker 4: I've read the stories about it. Mark Daniels has watch
Speaker 4: did he says?
Speaker 2: He says?
Speaker 4: He tells the n C double investigators. Uh, I don't
Speaker 4: recall if I was on the sidelines at Central Mission.
Speaker 1: What what you don't recall? Dave Portnoy does he Basically
Speaker 1: he's a huge Michigan guy. You know, how long is this?
Speaker 1: What's so entertaining about it?
Speaker 3: It's just it's it's fascinating, and hey, end result, there
Speaker 3: isn't going to be any more sign stealing because they
Speaker 3: got in helmet communications starting this year.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: Out of that comes some good I guess.
Speaker 4: By the way, the n c A, speaking of the
Speaker 4: nc double A, they are there's a proposal out there now.
Speaker 2: You guys will be glad to hear this.
Speaker 3: I are in twenty seven minutes by the way, talking.
Speaker 2: Okay, below tacks on. That's almost two episodes of Below tax.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, dog, Yeah, they're going to there's a proposal
Speaker 4: out there now. They're gonna eliminate the spring transfer portal
Speaker 4: in college football. So there'll only be one transfer portal
Speaker 4: in college football, and that'll be in December, after the
Speaker 4: seasons over, so you can't you're not gonna be able
Speaker 4: to If this proposal passes, players won't be able to
Speaker 4: transfer in April, so there'll be one transfer portal.
Speaker 2: But then again, I'm sure somebody will sue.
Speaker 4: The play will back down, yep, and yeah, so that'll yeah,
Speaker 4: that'll probably be overturning the courts.
Speaker 3: Hey, NFL rosters trim to fifty three yesterday, Bulldog.
Speaker 4: That's right, No real big surprises within the state of Florida.
Speaker 4: Odell Beckham Junior down at Miami, he's on the pup list.
Speaker 4: What's no big surprise he's not going to play for
Speaker 4: at least the first four games. But no real big
Speaker 4: surprises as far as cuts within the state of Florida.
Speaker 3: Anything else before we wrap her up this morning, mister dog.
Speaker 4: Uh Well, the NFL is now a lot allowing private
Speaker 4: equity to invest in their teams. They've never done that before,
