Are this year's Knights' QBs an Upgrade from 2025? (E84)

Are this year's Knights' QBs an Upgrade from 2025? (E84)

With a whole new QB room for 2026, are the Knights in a better position to make some noise in the Big 12?  We look at the roster, and I share my thoughts on this very important lead role for the offense.  While nationally we are still expected to be at the bottom of the league again this year, the Knights could be a bowl eligible team if Alonza stays healthy.  I run through the QBs from the Big 12 and of course with the Brenden Sorsby saga, there is more Texas Tech chaos to unpacked.  The College Baseball World Series is coming down to the final two teams this week and I run through some scores and predictions.  As a Coach myself, I end with the importance of holding accountable athletes when they make mistakes.  It is a lot to cover in this episode so get ready for a lot of content.

What is happening in Lubbock, and should Sorsby be able to play? (E83)

With Brendan Sorsby's eligibility reinstated, what are my thoughts?  I give you that, talk about other issues from Lubbock, and is the Red Raiders schedule set up for another CFP run.  Oh, and don't forget we just completed Super Regionals in baseball, and we talk about the results and match ups coming this weekend.  As I continue to put together my content for the summer, I will chime in on other stories around the Big 12 and the nation.

The Knights were competitive in many sports during the 3rd year of the BIG XII (E82)

Let's take an episode and run down the sports teams and how they performed this year.  Year 3 was not a bad year and many teams exceeded expectations.  Some had some growth, others surprised the experts, and a few needed a reset.  Here is a look at some of the good and the bad as we continue building our programs to compete at the highest level.

UCF Baseball is eliminated in the Auburn Regional as the pitching injuries became too much (E81)

After 2 series wins, one on the road at Baylor, and the other at home versus Kansas State, UCF Baseball was hoping to make some noise in the B12 Tournament.  With the 4th seed came a much-needed rest, but we would fall in the first game just like the ladies did.  We would make the tournament with a surprising season that many did not see coming.  They won the first game in the Auburn regional, only to fall in the next two games and be eliminated from post season play.  Through the injuries, the Knights had a successful season and hope to continue to become relevant in not only the conference, but also in post season play.

UCF Softball falls to UCLA in Super Regional, yet the tournament has been spectacular (E80)

While I was sad to see us get blown out at UCLA, it is not surprising with the amount of Home Runs and Runs per Game that the Bruins put up.  We showed some fight in both games early, but we could not keep the bats for UCLA quiet for long.  It was a great year for our Lady Knights with knocking off the in-state FSU Seminoles in the Regional.  We had some veteran players that helped this team mature quickly and hope we can keep a good nucleus of players as the portal season for softball is upon us.  We also will need some additional depth in the rotation and at the plate.  I have watch much of the tournament and it has been another exciting year.  This week will be a rematch of Texas and Texas Tech, which I will be pulling for the Big 12 to get it done this year after falling 2 games to 1 last season.  Congrats to some local high school teams, Hagerty and Winter Springs on their softball championship.  I got to see my alma mater Columbia High School not only beat my wife's Seminole team but also win the 4A Championship right down the road from my house a few Saturdays ago.  Way to go Lady Tigers!  Have 3 classmates' children on the team and it was good to catch up with them.  Tomorrow I will talk UCF Baseball, but until then, Go Knights! Charge On!
