Six years ago today: Our first post on @UCF_Banneret.
Back then it was just me, and now here we are.
A lot's happened since then, and #UCF is on the precipice of even bigger things happening.
Thanks to all of you who read, subscribe, and support us! blackandgoldbanneret.com/2015/9/7/17969…
Most especially, thanks to all our guests and interviewees, especially the great #UCF athletes and coaches past and present who have helped us along the way.
And HUGE thanks to the @UCFKnights Strategic Communications staff, past and present, who selflessly help us every day.
And of course, THANK YOU KNIGHT NATION!
I'm humbled that anyone reads or listens to the stuff we create. It's a true miracle, when you really sit back and think about it.
So here's to many more years of covering our beloved Knights here and beyond! #ChargeOn

I gotta say I never thought it would happen. Someone would always do something or not do something along the way to screw it up along the way.
But #UCF is going to join the #Big12 today and I’ve never been more happy to be wrong about something in my entire life.
So today’s the day. Maybe the biggest day in #UCF Athletics history. I’m rocking it old school today because I’m feeling reflective. All the dreams we’ve had for a quarter-century come true today. Let’s not forget where we came from.
Now you know me and I have a lot of questions still, like payout terms and can the Big 12 patch up Bowlsby’s row with ESPN (I hope so). But the big picture is this:
We’re no longer “on the outside” or “knocking on the door.” #UCF is officially a Power Conference program. PERIOD.
