Yep, until he nearly beat that kid to death.  That kid is getting last laugh now that they are in the Big 12.

Nothing in my first hand experience with UC supports a commuter school label. The enrollment/campus experience seems exactly like that of the other schools I've been around.

Per US News, 24% of UC's students live on campus vs. 23% of K-State's.

18% for UCF. 17% for Houston.

That stat is a bit misleading.  The stat we need is how many of the students are full-time and live within 4 miles of the campus, which does not include their mom's basement. Hard stat to find.
I think NBC has a graph on this ;)

How dope would it be if OU pulled the switcharoo, and Mizzou and NU came back too?
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

we are all big losers on that deal with all the extra hours spent on I-4 when turning the UCF roady into a beach vacay.

UCF has over 12K in on campus/affiliated housing (that's like over 60% of K-State's total enrollment).

They had 61K undergraduates last year, and 8K Freshman.  Their main campus is twice the acreage of K-State's main campus.   

This Fall, their FTE headcount is 46,701 students, so their FTE head count is more than double K-State.

Huge school.

HS friend went to UCF, his rich AF parents bought him a condo about 15 min from campus. This was also like 15 yrs ago so I don’t know what their campus was like then.

My brother in law graduated from there. It took him 7 years, he took 9 hours a semester. He started taking classes at 24 years old while working as a prep cook at Beef O'Brady's to pay the child support to the high school girl he knocked up. He was the homecoming king and a two term student body president at 29 & 30. Model UCF student.

What a great coming of age story brought to us by our new conference brethren. The Big 12; the one true home of heartland values and the American Dream.

Steven Godfrey once called UCF a diploma mill for Marriott night managers.  I found that very funny & wanted to share.

Beef O'Bradys might be the shittiest restaurant to somehow become a chain despite said shittiness. Just unbelievably awful.

The most unbelievable part is that he paid child support.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

Not sure where to post but Twitter is blowing up on Big 12 expansion right now from current members, new members, and news outlets.  Everyone seems pretty excited.

Honestly, with the snobs in Norman traveling with the whorns to the SEC to both be in football purgatory for the foreseeable future, this conference could get really fun, even if we don't get the media exposure we necessarily want.

I'm interested in seeing if one team dominates or if we all take turns having fun.

I feel like OSU could dominate with Gundy.  But he appears to not really give an eff anymore.
