text: History[edit]

text: Early history (1979–1984)[edit]

text: The UCF football program can be traced back to a speech given by the university's second president, Dr. Trevor Colbourn, in January 1979.[9] Colbourn believed that a successful athletics program would bring the university greater renown, and tasked Dr. Jack O'Leary with the job of creating a new football program at the school.[10] In addition, Colbourn changed the name of the school to the University of Central Florida (prior to this, the college was known as Florida Technological University), to express the university's expanded academic scope.[11]

text: Beginning at the Division III level, O'Leary, then the university's athletic director, held a meeting of prospective players, who paid $14 per night to stay in the dorms and brought their own uniforms to the tryouts, in March 1979.[12] This would be the first football tryouts for prospective players, and would serve as the first that many students would hear about the new athletic program.[10] O'Leary had previously served as an assistant coach at Alabama under Paul "Bear" Bryant.[13] He would spearhead the effort to raise more than $40,000 to start the program, and would complete a deal for the team to play in the Tangerine Bowl.[10] Without a budget to hire a staff, O'Leary reached out to six UCF graduate students as volunteer assistants.[10] From there, O'Leary was able to lure Don Jonas, a former NFL quarterback and Orlando dignitary, to become UCF's first head football coach on a voluntary basis.[10]

text: One day during a practice, O'Leary pulled the team aside and unveiled the template for uniforms of "The Fighting Knights".[14] He would reveal a template that would follow the team into the 21st century: black jerseys, gold pants and gold helmets.[10] Less than one year after Colbourn had envisioned a football program for the university, UCF played its first game on September 22, 1979 against St. Leo University.[15] The Knights would prove victorious with a 21–0 shutout,[16] and less than a week later, the Knights would win their first home game by defeating Ft. Benning, 7–6.[17] Jonas led the Knights to a 6–2 inaugural season, behind an average attendance of 11,240, including a Division III record crowd of 14,138.[17] Following the season, in March 1980, Jonas was offered the Knights head coaching job as a full-time position.[18] After leading the team to a 4–4–1 and 4–6 record in 1980 and 1981 respectively,[19][20] Jonas would leave the Knights following the 1981 season.[17] During the 1980 season, the Knights earned the only tie in program history, an 11–all game against Miles,[21] and Tim Kiggins became the first Knight to sign a professional contract.[17] After his departure, Jonas remained involved in the program, including doing radio broadcasts of UCF football games and a radio sports talk show.[22] Jonas led the Knights to a 14–12–1 (.518) record in three seasons.[23]

text: Following the departure of Don Jonas, Sam Weir, who was the head coach at Lake Howell High School, became UCF's new head coach and led the Knights in their move up to Division II in 1982.[17] Another change to the university's athletic programs in 1982 was the departure of O'Leary as athletic director, and the hiring of Bill Peterson, who was the Florida State head coach from 1960–70.[24] In their first season playing Division II ball, the Knights went 0–10, and Weir decided not to return for the 1983 season.[25] One bright spot of the season was that Mike Carter became the first Knight to sign with an NFL team, the Denver Broncos.[24]

text: Lou Saban replaced Weir as the Knights head coach in 1983.[26] Saban had previously coached at Miami, Army, Northwestern, and in the AFL and NFL with the Buffalo Bills and Boston Patriots, to name just a few.[24] In UCF's first Black and Gold Spring game held in 1983, the defense won 14–6.[20] The Knights finished the 1983 season 5–6, including the team's first win over a Division I–AA opponent.[24] Starting the 1984 season filled with optimism, the Knights were shaken by a 1–6 start.[27] Following the disappointing beginning to the season, Saban stepped away from the program, and was replaced on an interim basis by assistant coach Jerry Anderson.[24] Saban had a 6–12 (.333) record during his tenure as the Knights head coach.[28] Anderson finished out the year with the team in an interim position, with a 1–3 (.250) record.[29] UCF finished the season with a 2–9 mark.[24] In the course of the three seasons following Jonas' departure, the Knights went through three head coaches, and amassed a 7–25 record.[24]

text: Gene McDowell era (1985–1997)[edit]

text: Reeling after a disappointing string of seasons, there were discussions within the community about the possibility of dismantling the program,[30] and Peterson announced his retirement as the university's athletic director.[31] In addition, due to financial troubles, the team had to postpone plans to move up to Division I-AA.[24] Without a head coach or athletic director, President Colbourn hired Florida State assistant coach Gene McDowell to fill both positions.[32] McDowell took the helm in 1985, and hired his eventual successor and former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mike Kruczek as his offensive coordinator.[24] The Knights would finish with a 4–7 mark in McDowell's first year, including a 21–42 loss to UCF's first-ever Division I–A opponent, Louisville.[24] Due to financial hardships, McDowell waived half of his annual salary, and FSU head coach Bobby Bowden donated uniforms and cleats to the program.[24]

text: McDowell would the lead the Knights to their first winning season since 1979, with a 6–5 record in 1986.[33] Also that year, Ted Wilson became the first UCF player to be selected in the 1987 NFL Draft, being picked by the Washington Redskins in the 10th round.[34] Following an 8–3 regular season record in 1987,[35] the Knights earned their first trip to the Division II playoffs, where they earned a 1–1 record.[33] After starting the 1988 season with five straight wins, UCF would be ranked No. 2 in Division II.[33] During a game against the defending D-II national champions Troy at the Citrus Bowl, UCF fans were so loud at one point that the Trojans quarterback Bob Godsey couldn't call plays.[36] Godsey complained to the referee about the crowd noise, but instead of helping Troy, the referee called a delay of game penalty on the Trojans.[37] The "noise penalty" is legendary at UCF, and the win over Troy thrust the Knights into the position as the No. 1 ranked team in D-II.[33] Between 1986 and 1990 under the leadership of McDowell, the Knights held a 24–6 record at the Citrus Bowl.[33]

text: During McDowell's tenure, the program moved up to Division I-AA in 1990.[38] In their first year in the division, the Knights earned a 10–4 record, a program best, and a trip to the I–AA playoffs.[39] UCF would make it to the semifinals, and became the first school in history to qualify for the I–AA playoffs in its first season of eligibility.[38] The Knights would finish the 1991 and 1992 with winning seasons as well.[40][41] In 1992, Dr. John Hitt, UCF's fourth president, announced that the program would make the move to Division I-A in 1996,[42] and he hired Steve Sloan as the university's new athletic director.[38] Earning their eighth winning season in 1993, the Knights would again make the playoffs.[38] During the season, the team won their first game over a Division I–A team, a 38–16 victory at Louisiana Tech.[43] After another impressive season, UCF was selected as the preseason No. 1 to start the 1994 season.[44] The 1994 season would prove disappointing however, as the Knights would finish the season ranked No. 20 with a 7–4 record.[38] During the team's final season in Division I-AA, the Knights were reinvigorated by freshman sensation Daunte Culpepper. The quarterback would lead the Knights to a 6–5 record, and their tenth straight winning season in 1995.[45]

text: On September 1, 1996, UCF officially made its foray into Division I-A.[46] At that time, the Knights became the first football program to play in four different NCAA divisions (III, II, I-AA and I-A).[45] In their first two seasons in Division I-A, the Knights posted identical 5–6 records behind Culpepper. In 1997, assistant coach Alan Gooch was named the national assistant coach of the year, due to his work with deaf running back Dwight Collins.[45] In the wake of a federal fraud scandal revolving around improper cellular phone benefits and use, McDowell resigned as head coach on January 20, 1998.[45][47] Over his 13–year tenure at UCF, McDowell earned an 87–61 (.587) record.[48]

text: Mike Kruczek era (1998–2003)[edit]

text: After the abrupt departure of Gene McDowell, offensive coordinator Mike Kruczek was named UCF's new head coach on an interim basis.[49] He would receive the position permanently later in 1998.[45] Daunte Culpepper led UCF to its best season ever with a 9-2 record in 1998 (with losses only coming to Purdue[50] and Auburn).[51] Culpepper finished 6th in the Heisman Trophy voting and set the NCAA record for completion percentage that year (73.4%).[45] Following the season, Culpepper was drafted with the 11th pick in the first round of the 1999 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings, marking the highest ever draft pick of a UCF player.[45]

text: The Knights proved to be a scary team on the road against heavily favored opponents, with close losses including a 10-6 loss at Auburn in 1998, a 24-23 loss at Georgia in 1999,[52] and a 21-17 loss at Georgia Tech in 2000.[53] Kruczek's biggest victory would come in 2000 against Alabama at Bryant–Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, when the Knights won 40-38 on a last-second field goal by Javier Beorlegui.[54][55] After finishing 9–2 in 1998,[56] UCF received a tentative verbal agreement to play in the inaugural Oahu Bowl.[57] That arrangement, however, was contingent on UCLA finishing the season undefeated; the Oahu Bowl was otherwise committed to taking a team from the Pac-10.[58] On the final day of the regular season, Miami upset UCLA, setting off a chain reaction that sent Washington to the Oahu Bowl and left the Knights out in the cold.[59]

text: Kruczek guided the team as a Division I-A independent until 2002.[60] After six difficult years as an independent, UCF played its much-anticipated first season as a member of the Mid-American Conference in 2002.[55] They finished runner-up in the East division with a 6–2 conference record. They finished the season 7–5 overall, completing their 14th winning season in the past 17 years.[61][21] The excitement, however, would be short-lived.[55] After signing a three-year contract extension at the beginning of the 2003 season,[62] Kruczek was fired following a 3–7 start.[63] Kruczek was replaced on an interim basis by assistant coach and former player Alan Gooch who finished out the dismal 3-9 season[64] with losses to Mid-American Conference rivals Marshall and Miami (OH).[55] The Marshall game marked UCF's first nationally televised home football game as it was aired on ESPN2.[65] Kruczek ended his 6–year stewardship of UCF with a 36–30 (.545) record.[66] An increasing travel burden, inability to compete with much better MAC teams, and lack of natural rivals within the midwest-based MAC saw UCF begin to explore the possibility of a different conference affiliation after just a couple years in the conference.[67][55] In 2003, UCF was invited as an all-sports member of Conference USA beginning with the 2005 season.[68][55]

text: George O'Leary era (2004–2015)[edit]

text: Following the disappointing 2003 season, Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator and former Georgia Tech head coach George O'Leary was named UCF's new head coach in 2004.[69] This was a controversial and bold hire because O'Leary had previously left Georgia Tech after the 2001 season and been named head coach at Notre Dame, but resigned in disgrace five days into his tenure after inconsistencies were found on his resume.[70] The difficult coaching transition for 2004, the Knights' final year in the Mid-American Conference, saw the team hit rock bottom, going 0–11.[71]

text: In 2005, UCF started their first season as a member of Conference USA. Not expected to improve much over 2004, they surprisingly won their first conference game against Marshall, 23–13, ending the school's 17-game losing streak, then the nation's longest such streak.[72][69] UCF fans celebrated by storming the field and tearing down the goal posts.[73] Students came back to the campus and celebrated further by jumping into UCF's Reflection Pond (a practice normally reserved for Spirit Splash).[74] UCF then went on to win eight out of the remaining nine games on their schedule, finishing 7–1 in C-USA games and 8–5 overall,[75] winning the East Division and hosting the first ever C-USA Championship game, which they lost, 44-27, to Tulsa.[76][69] Shortly thereafter, UCF was invited to play in their first ever bowl game, the Hawaii Bowl, losing to Nevada 49-48 in overtime due to a missed PAT that would have tied the game.[77] In 2005 O'Leary was chosen by SportsIllustrated.com for the coach of the year award and received votes for the larger Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award award.[69] In May 2006, UCF extended O'Leary's contract for 10 years and increased his pay to $1 million plus incentives per year after he engineered the fourth-best single-season turnaround in college football history.[78][79]

text: After an anemic 2006 which saw the Golden Knights go a mere 4–8,[80] the team rebranded in 2007 in preparation for its move to its new on-campus venue, Spectrum Stadium.[81] They dropped the "Golden" from their name, becoming the "UCF Knights".[82] Fortunes seemed to have changed as the Knights moved into new facilities. After defeating a BCS school for just the second time ever, NC State by a score of 25-23,[83] they inaugurated their new stadium by hosting and losing to national power #6 Texas by a score of 35-32.[84] The Knights lost to archrival South Florida by a score of 64-12 in Tampa,[85] but went on to have a 10–4 overall record and won the C-USA East again, hosting the Championship game against Tulsa once more.[86] UCF defeated Tulsa in a near-reversal of the 2005 Conference USA Championship Game 44-25,[87] thereby gaining UCF's first ever Conference Championship title and a berth in the 2007 Liberty Bowl. Following UCF's victory, the Knights received 35 votes in the AP Poll, but did not reach the top 25, ranking 27th.[88] The Knights lost the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tennessee by a score of 10-3 to Mississippi State.[89] The Knights went on to finish the year with its first 10 win season in the FBS. In 2007, Kevin Smith set an NCAA record with 450 rushing attempts and rushed for 2,567 yards, placing him 2nd on the NCAA's all-time single season rushing list behind only Oklahoma State's Barry Sanders.[90] Despite this, he was not selected even as a finalist for the Doak Walker Award.[90] He also was the only running back in the 2007 season to rush for more than 100 yards against the Texas Longhorns.[90] He was a fan favorite, especially with student section at Bright House Networks Stadium.[90] Smith originally stated that he would return for his senior season at UCF,[91] however, he later changed his mind, announcing on January 6, 2008 that he would declare for the 2008 NFL Draft.[92] He was selected with the first pick in the third round by the Detroit Lions.[93]

text: On March 18, 2008, running back Ereck Plancher collapsed shortly after a conditioning drill, and was then transported to a nearby hospital where he died approximately one hour later.[94] ESPN's "Outside The Lines" program on November 2, 2008 interviewed players who were at the training session at which Plancher became ill, and which after he died, and stated that the session was longer and far more rigorous than O'Leary and other UCF Athletics officials have admitted to publicly.[95] They also alleged that O'Leary and other coaches had initially warned players off from providing assistance to Plancher when he became visibly distressed.[96] After a 14-day trial in 2011, a jury found the UCF Athletics Association guilty of negligence in the death of Plancher. The jury awarded each of his parents $5 million.[97] Upon appeal, however, the Florida Supreme Court sided with the University of Central Florida, ruling that sickle-cell disease caused the death and the university didn't owe any money to Plancher's family.[96]

text: After a lackluster 4–8 season in 2008,[98] UCF bounced back with an 8–5 record in 2009,[99] including winning their last six straight C-USA games. Among those wins was their first victory over a nationally ranked team, beating then #12 Houston on November 14 by a score of 37–32 at Spectrum Stadium.[100] UCF finished with a 45–24 loss to Rutgers in the St. Petersburg Bowl, their third bowl appearance in five years.[101] Entering the 2010 season, with the recruitment of Jeffrey Godfrey and return of key seniors, including Bruce Miller, there were high hopes for the Knights.[102] After winning 5 straight games, and posting an 11-game conference winning streak, the Knights were ranked for the first time in school history following their nationally televised 40–33 victory over Houston on the road.[103] For the polls released on November 7, 2010, UCF was ranked in all three major college polls.[104] The Knights were ranked 25 in the AP Poll, 23 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and 25 in the Harris Poll.[105] In their first game as a nationally ranked squad, the Knights fell 31-21 to Southern Miss in Orlando.[106] UCF would bounce back and defeat Tulane by a score of 61–14[107] and Memphis by a score of 37–17.[108] With the wins, the Knights secured the C-USA Eastern Division championship and reentered the polls.[109]

text: The Knights would go on to win the 2010 Conference USA championship game, defeating SMU 17–7.[110] Following the win, UCF entered the BCS standings for the first time in program history, ranking No. 25.[111] The Knights ended the 2010 season with a 10–6 victory over Georgia in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, marking the team's first-ever bowl victory.[112] UCF would end the season ranked 20th in the final coaches poll and 21st in the final AP rankings.[113]

text: 2011 proved to be a disappointing season as UCF finished with a 5–7 record and were not bowl eligible for the first time since 2008.[114] The season included out-of-conference losses to FIU[115] and BYU,[116] as well as conference losses to then-winless UAB,[117] a 1–point loss to #23 Southern Miss[118] and the continuation of the Knights woes at quarterback, as Jeff Godfrey and Blake Bortles battled for playing time.[119] Following the 2011 season, Jeff Godfrey planned on transferring, though he later decided to return to the Knights as a wide receiver.[119] It was announced on December 7, 2011 that UCF would join the Big East Conference, renamed the American Athletic Conference soon thereafter,[120] in all sports beginning in 2013.[121]

text: Following an investigation into recruiting violations in the men's basketball and football programs in 2011, on July 31, 2012, the NCAA announced sanctions – in addition to penalties UCF had previously self-imposed.[122] The NCAA imposed a one-year postseason football ban.[123] The penalty was in addition to a $50,000 fine, adding two years to UCF's previously proposed three years' probation, reduction of football scholarships, and tighter limits of football recruiting visiting days.[124][125] In 2012, the Knights finished 10–4[126] and won their fourth C-USA East Division championship, though they would fall 33–27 in overtime to Tulsa in the league title game.[127] UCF would play in the 2012 Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl and win 38-17 over Ball State as quarterback Blake Bortles would be named the game's MVP after throwing four touchdown passes.[128]

text: On April 19, 2013, UCF won its appeal with the NCAA and was eligible for postseason play in 2013.[129] The appeal would prove crucial, as in 2013, O'Leary led the Knights to their first twelve-win season (12–1),[130] first perfect conference record (8–0), first win against a Big Ten opponent (Penn State),[131] first win against a Top–10 team (#8 Louisville),[132] third conference title, and the program's first appearance and victory in a BCS bowl game, defeating #6 Baylor 52–42 in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl.[133] The game was one of the biggest upsets of the BCS era.[134][135] On January 7, 2014, UCF was ranked #10 in the season's final AP Poll, the highest ranking in school history.[136] Blake Bortles would be drafted in the first round at third overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2014 NFL Draft.[137]

text: The Knights finished 9–4 in 2014.[138] The Knights kicked off the season in Dublin, Ireland against Penn State, losing to the Nittany Lions by a score of 26-24.[139] O'Leary's squad dropped to 0–2 after losing to #20 Missouri by a score of 38-10.[140] Central Florida then won its next five; defeating FCS foe Bethune–Cookman,[141] Houston,[142] BYU in overtime,[143] Tulane[144] and Temple.[145] The Knights' five-game winning streak was snapped with a 37-29 loss to UConn on November 1.[146] UCF won its next four to close the regular season; topping Tulsa,[147] SMU,[148] archrival South Florida[149] and East Carolina.[150] O'Leary's Knights accepted a bid to the 2014 St. Petersburg Bowl, a game they lost to NC State by a score of 34-27.[151]

text: The 2015 season, which began with high hopes, would be a disaster. After dropping their first three, UCF lost to South Carolina by a score of 31-14 on September 26 to fall to 0–4.[152] Following UCF's 59–10 loss to Houston on homecoming,[153] dropping the Knights to an 0–8 record to start the 2015 season, O'Leary resigned as head football coach.[154][155] Quarterbacks coach Danny Barrett was named interim head coach and led the team for the remaining four games of the season.[156] UCF finished the 2015 season at a winless 0–12, its third such campaign in program history.[157]

text: Scott Frost era (2016–2017)[edit]

text: After an extensive coaching search, Oregon offensive coordinator Scott Frost was named as UCF's tenth head coach on December 1, 2015.[158] Serving under head coach Mark Helfrich, Frost had overseen one of college football's quickest and most explosive offenses at Oregon that helped the Ducks rise to national prominence, won multiple Pac-12 conference championships, coached quarterback Marcus Mariota into a Heisman Trophy winner in 2014[159] and sent many players into the National Football League.[160][161] All this after a successful collegiate playing career at quarterback for Stanford and Nebraska in the 1990s and in the National Football League as a quarterback for five years.[162]

text: In 2016, Frost and his explosive, up-tempo offense led the Knights to a 6–7 record.[163] UCF began the Frost era with a 38-0 shutout win over FCS opponent South Carolina State.[164] After losing its next two to Big Ten opponents #5 Michigan in a rout[165] and Maryland in double overtime,[166] the Knights defeated FIU[167] and East Carolina.[168] Central Florida then suffered a close 26-25 loss due to a late field goal to Temple on October 15.[169] The Knights rebounded the following week to defeat UConn by a score of 24-16.[170] UCF suffered a defeat on October 29 to Houston,[171] then responded with wins over Tulane[172] and Cincinnati, gaining bowl eligibility.[173] Frost's squad concluded the regular season with losses to Tulsa[174] and archrival South Florida.[175] The Knights lost to Arkansas State in the 2016 Cure Bowl by a score of 31-13.[176] After the 2016 season, Oregon fired Mark Helfrich.[177] Amidst rumors that he might be interested in the Ducks opening, Frost announced he was not interested in Oregon and that he would return as UCF's head coach in 2017.[178] Ironically, the position eventually went to UCF's rival coach, South Florida head coach Willie Taggart.[179]

text: Surprising even himself, Frost and his team went on to an undefeated regular season in 2017, defeating FIU,[180] Maryland,[181] Memphis,[182] Cincinnati,[183] East Carolina,[184] Navy,[185] Austin Peay,[186] SMU,[187] UConn,[188] Temple,[189] and rival USF in a War on I-4 shootout.[190] The breakout season for Frost and his team made him one of the most sought-after coaches on the market, drawing interest from Florida and his alma mater, Nebraska. Frost passed on the Florida job but avoided questions about returning to Nebraska. In the 2017 American Athletic Conference Championship game, Frost's team went on to play Memphis for the second time and won the title in a 62-55 double overtime thriller, securing UCF's third conference championship win.[191] Just hours after winning the AAC, sources confirmed that Frost would be taking a seven-year, $35 million deal to become Nebraska's new head coach.[192] Frost and his staff returned for one last game in the 2018 Peach Bowl. The No. 12 ranked Knights faced No. 7 ranked Auburn, and defeated them 34–27 to close out their undefeated season with a 13–0 record. After the win, UCF athletic director Danny White proclaimed UCF to be the NCAA FBS Division Football national champion. The claim sparked considerable controversy and debate over whether the College Football Playoff should be expanded.[193][194][195] The team celebrated with a parade at Walt Disney World. Additionally, the team's coaches were paid bonuses for their performance, and the school has stated plans to hang a national championship banner in Spectrum Stadium.[196]

text: Head coaches[edit]

text: UCF has had eight head coaches since organized football began in 1979. The Knights have played nearly 400 games in their 34 seasons. In that time, 3 coaches have led the Knights to the postseason: Gene McDowell, George O'Leary, and Scott Frost. McDowell in 1987, 1990, and 1993, O'Leary in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2012, and Frost in 2016 and 2017. O'Leary and Frost are the only coaches to win a division or conference championship at the school. Before leading UCF in 1983 and 1984, Lou Saban was a head coach in both the American Football League (AFL) and the National Football League (NFL).[197] O'Leary also coached in the NFL between 2002 and 2004.

text: Venues[edit]

text: Citrus Bowl (1979–2006)[edit]

text: Until 2007, the Knights had played all of their home games at the Citrus Bowl (now Camping World Stadium) in downtown Orlando. Located about 10 miles (16 km) from UCF's main campus, the stadium originally opened in 1936. Though UCF would not play its first football game at the Citrus Bowl until September 1979, a 7–6 victory over Fort Benning, the stadium's first college football game was played in January 1947 between Catawba and Maryville.[17]

text: By 2005, Orlando-city officials in conjunction with UCF's administration, expressed dissatisfaction with the state of the aging facility. While UCF was the primary leasing tenant of the Citrus Bowl for nearly three decades, they received minimal revenue from football games, and the stadium's 70,000 seat capacity was seen as too large for the Knights. With an average attendance of 10,000–15,000 people per game, the stadium was left with the appearance of being largely empty. When the university approached the city about possible renovations and new revenue-sharing measures for the stadium, they were met with resistance. The city wanted UCF to consider relocating, or to spend considerable expense to upgrade the facility. At one point during the negotiations, stadium officials told then UCF Athletic Director Steve Orsini that "the value of UCF's fans was nothing."[198]

text: Spectrum Stadium (2007–present)[edit]

text: In early 2005, as a response to the deteriorating condition of the Citrus Bowl, and lack of revenue derived from the games there, UCF proposed building an on-campus stadium for the first time. In December 2005, the UCF Board of Trustees approved the construction of a new on-campus stadium.[199] The new stadium, Bright House Networks Stadium was originally planned to open in time for the 2006 football season, but neighborhood opposition delayed the time frame by a year.

text: Stadium construction began in 2006 and was finished in time for the 2007 season. The first home-game took place on September 15, 2007, as the Knights nearly upset the No. 6-ranked Texas Longhorns. The seating capacity of the stadium is 44,206, and plans provide for a future expansion to 65,000 seats. Although the Knights lost their first on-campus home game, they finished the remainder of the stadium's inaugural season undefeated, including the Conference USA home opener against Memphis. UCF hosted and won the 2007 and 2010 C-USA Championship Games, defeating Tulsa and SMU, respectively. Following the 2014 season, the stadium underwent an $8 million renovation. The Wayne Densch Center for Student-Athlete Leadership was constructed on the east facade of the stadium, and a party deck known as the "Carl Black and Gold Cabana" was added to the east stands.[200][201][202] By many accounts the stadium was built cheaply and as fast as possible. Due to these factors the stadium tends to bounce up and down giving it the nickname "The Bounce House". The stadium was renamed from Bright House Networks Stadium to Spectrum Stadium in April 2017 following Charter Communications purchase of Bright House Networks and merging Bright House into its Spectrum cable service.[203]

text: Rivalries[edit]

text: Though UCF remains a relatively young program that has shifted conferences several times, it has several long-standing rivalries with schools throughout the duration of Conference USA and The American. The university's biggest rival historically is their instate rival, the University of South Florida Bulls, played from 2005 to 2008, and since 2013.[204] Other rivalries include the East Carolina University Pirates and the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane. UCF once had a major rivalry with the Marshall University Thundering Herd, but the rivalry with Marshall has become less important since the Knights joined The American because the schools no longer play each other regularly. UCF only holds a winning record in its rivalry with Marshall (.727).

text: One other rivalry, known as the Civil Conflict, unofficially exists between UCF and Connecticut. However, UCF does not acknowledge the rivalry, and has publicly dismissed it.[205][206][207]

text: East Carolina[edit]

text: The rivalry began with the teams' first meeting in 1991, with annual meetings beginning in 2005 when the Knights entered C-USA. Playing in the same division East Carolina and UCF were permanent opponents under the conference's scheduling structure. In recent years, the match between UCF and East Carolina has determined the winner of the Eastern Division. In 2007, UCF's only conference loss came at the hands of the Pirates. UCF won the division anyway, and ultimately took the conference title. In 2008, UCF was looking like they were going to ruin East Carolina's dreams of the Eastern Division title like they did to Marshall, but with a late rally, the Pirates won in overtime making the Pirates the first C-USA team to beat UCF in Spectrum Stadium. A loss at East Carolina also determined them as the Eastern Division champions in 2009, while a UCF win at home was the difference in 2010. In the final scheduled meeting of the two schools in 2012, it would be UCF that would win 40–20, despite falling behind 14–0 early on. As of now, the final count in the series in 9–4 in favor of East Carolina. The rivalry resumed when the Pirates joined UCF in the American Athletic Conference in 2014.[208] UCF won as time expired on a 51-yard Hail Mary pass from Justin Holman to Breshad Perriman, 32–30. This allowed for them to win back to back conference championships. ECU would blow out a winless UCF team the next year, 44-7. One year later, UCF would beat ECU 47-29 under first-year head coach, Scott Frost, against ECU's first-year head coach, Scottie Montgomery.

text: South Florida[edit]

text: The War on I–4 dates years before the two schools ever played a game against each other. The matchup was the subject of much discussion and fan enthusiasm since the 1990s, though the first game was not played until 2005. The rivalry, often known as the "War on I–4" or "I–4 Corridor Clash",[209] continued as a four home-and-away series through the 2008 season. The Bulls won each of the four games, which all drew strong crowds, but South Florida declined to continue the series after 2008.[210][211][212] The UCF–South Florida game resumed as a regular conference game beginning with the 2013 season, as UCF joined the American Athletic Conference.[213] The Knights won the first game as conference members 23–20 before 45,952 in Orlando.[214] In 2014, the Knights won for the first time at Raymond James Stadium, and delivered the first home shut-out in South Florida history, 16-0. In 2015, USF defeated the Knights 44-3 to finish a winless season for the Knights. In 2016, the War On I-4 trophy was introduced for the first time. USF took home the trophy by defeating UCF 48-31 and clinching their first 10-win season in school history, only for UCF to take the trophy back from them the following year during their national championship season in 2017.

text: Tulsa[edit]

text: The games between the Knights and Tulsa Golden Hurricane occurred on a two-year scheduling cycle when both schools were members of C-USA, except for three times that the teams met in the Conference USA title game (2005, 2007, 2012).[215] Tulsa leads the series 7–3, with the Golden Hurricane winning three times in the regular season and twice in the conference championship game.[216] In both 2007 and 2012, the Golden Hurricane and Knights played each other twice, once in the regular season and once in the conference championship. The rivalry resumed in 2014 when the Golden Hurricane joined The American, with UCF winning the game 31–7. Tulsa would win in 2015 against a winless UCF team, 45-31, and in the year after, 35-20.

text: National championship[edit]

text: Under head coach Scott Frost, the 2017 Knights completed a 13-0 undefeated season, including a win in the 2018 Peach Bowl over the Auburn Tigers. The Knights were not selected for the College Football Playoff, but Auburn defeated both participants in the CFP National Championship Game by double-digit scores in the regular season. As a result, UCF athletic director Danny White made a statement that UCF would claim the 2017 national championship, hanging a national title banner and holding an official national championship parade and celebration.[7][218] On January 9, 2018, the Colley Matrix, an NCAA-recognized major selector of FBS national champions, ranked UCF No. 1.[219][220] The NCAA does not officially select a national champion in FBS football.[221][222]

text: Schedule[edit]

text: UCF is one of 12 full members and 12 football members of the American Athletic Conference.[a] In football, the only sport sponsored by The American that uses a divisional format, UCF plays in the conference's East Division.[237][238] Division rivals include Cincinnati, Connecticut, East Carolina, South Florida, and Temple. The West Division consists of Houston, Memphis, football-only member Navy, SMU, Tulane, and Tulsa. UCF plays an eight-game conference schedule, four home and four away.[239] These games operate on a two-year cycle, as a home-and-home series.

text: The Knights currently have games scheduled through 2023.[240] Among the games scheduled are finishing a home-and-away series with Stanford (at home). They also have an away game against Texas (2023).[240] Of note is that the game against the Longhorns will be the final game of a three-game contract between UCF and Texas.[241] The contract was organized as such: for the first game, the Knights would host the Longhorns to open up their new stadium, Spectrum Stadium; the remaining games (one was played in 2009) would be played at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, the home stadium of the Longhorns, as a "repayment" for opening UCF's new stadium.

text: UCF has an upcoming home-and-home series with in-state opponent FAU in 2018 and 2019. The first game is will be played Spectrum Stadium on September 22, 2018, and the second at FAU Stadium on September 7, 2019. UCF has also scheduled a home-and-home series with Pittsburgh, with the Knights hosting on September 29, 2018 and visiting Pittsburgh on September 21, 2019.[242]

text: UCF has a planned home-and-home series with Georgia Tech as well. The first game was scheduled for September 16, 2017 at Spectrum Stadium, but the game was cancelled due to Hurricane Irma; it is unknown if the game will be made up in the future.[243] The second game in the Georgia Tech series will be at Bobby Dodd Stadium on September 19, 2020.

text:
Jump up ^ For example, the Browns' regular season win–loss record does not include a 47–4–3 record compiled in the All-America Football Conference from 1946 to 1949, nor does their playoff record include the 5–0 record compiled during the same period. Likewise, the 49ers' AAFC regular season win–loss record of 38–14–2, nor their 1-1 AAFC playoff record are officially counted
Jump up ^ The Patriots played as the "Boston Patriots" from 1960–1970, before adopting the "New England Patriots" name, which they have played under since the 1971 season.[3] The team was also briefly known as the "Bay State Patriots" prior to the 1971 season.[4]
Jump up ^ The Colts played under the "Baltimore Colts" name from 1953–1983, before relocating to Indianapolis and adpoting their current "Indianapolis Colts" name, which they have played under since the 1984 season.[5]

text: Bratz (2007 film)

text: Plot[edit]

text: Four teenaged friends (Cloe, Yasmin, Sasha, and Jade) are about to start high school. Extremely controlling Meredith, the student body president wants everyone to belong to a clique, and goes about organizing students. She does not like the independent spirit of the four girls and plots to destroy their friendship and make them conform to her pre-fabricated cliques.

text: Cloe is an amazing soccer player. She then meets Cameron and is instantly smitten, further distancing herself from her friends. Sasha is recruited as a cheerleader. Jade joins the science club, then meets Dexter and discovers a passion for fashion design. Yasmin joins the journalism club, but later in the movie decides to focus on another passion: singing. She also feels lonely as her friends are busy with their own cliques. She also meets Dylan who is deaf but can lip read. The friends begin to drift apart as they are compelled to stay within their cliques.

text: Two years later, when an accidental food fight causes them to get detention, they realize that they miss being BFF's and decide to be friends again. They also try to get the other schoolmates to socialize outside their cliques but their attempts fail when Meredith's 2nd "Super Sweet 16" party ends disastrously and Meredith tries blackmail using an embarrassing photo to have them seated with their original cliques, which backfires.

text: The upcoming talent show and its prize of a scholarship gives them the idea to bring all the cliques together again with a song number, but the chances are slim with Meredith's constant attempts to steal the spotlight. In the end, there is a tie. Meredith gets the trophy, but the girls get the scholarship, which they later give to Cloe and are offered an appearance at a red carpet by an MTV VP.

text: A film soundtrack entitled Bratz: Motion Picture Soundtrack was released on July 31, 2007 through Geffen Records. The soundtrack featured music from artists such as Ashlee Simpson, Dropping Daylight, and The Black Eyed Peas. Three singles were released prior to the album's release, "Rainy Day" by Janel Parrish, "Rockstar" by Prima J, and "Fearless" by Daechelle. The soundtrack was released in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as Australia, where it featured an additional musical track by the Australian singer and actress Stephanie McIntosh.

text: Sales for the soundtrack were good and the album remained on the Billboard 200 charts for three weeks, peaking during its second week at position 83.[9] Common Sense Media gave the soundtrack three stars, writing that "With heavy-hitting help from the Black Eyed Peas, The Slumber Party Girls, Ashlee Simpson, Dropping Daylight, and Lifehouse, these young performers gamely negotiate some very ordinary-sounding, preachy material and make the songs sparkle anyway."[10]

text: A video game adaptation of the film entitled Bratz 4 Real was released to the Nintendo DS and Microsoft Windows on November 5, 2007. The game was developed by Barking Lizard Technologies and was published by THQ.

text: The game's plot mirrored that of the film and players are tasked with completing goals and errands in order to progress the story along. The DS version of the game also allowed users to design their own clothes patterns, care for a digital pet, and play various mini-games. The PC edition also utilized mini-games, but excluded the option for players to design clothing or raise a digital pet. In both games users could play as one of the four main characters and view clips from the film.

text: Pocket Gamer heavily criticized the game and stated that it felt that it was released too early and that "There are some nice ideas at play, in particular where it attempts to break down the social barriers that beset children in secondary education, but as a game it's far too vacuous to recommend."[12] IGN shared similar sentiments, writing that "Bratz 4 Real does some work to recast the shallow, self-absorbed Bratz girls in a more redeeming light, using them and their friendship to tell a tale of unity and breaking down social barriers. But whereas that premise and the game's compelling customization options prove to be solid positive points for this package, Bratz 4 Real is still a game brought down by a variety of other oddities."[13]

text: The series revolves around Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a woman in her 30s living in New York City who is sentenced to 15 months in Litchfield Penitentiary, a minimum-security women's federal prison (initially operated by the "Federal Department of Corrections," a fictional version of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and later acquired by Management & Correction Corporation (MCC), a private prison company) in upstate New York. Piper had been convicted of transporting a suitcase full of drug money for her girlfriend Alex Vause (Laura Prepon), an international drug smuggler. The offense had occurred 10 years prior to the start of the series and in that time Piper had moved on to a quiet, law-abiding life among New York's upper middle class. Her sudden and unexpected indictment severely disrupted her relationships with her fiancé, family and friends.

text: In prison, Piper is reunited with Alex (who named Piper in her trial, resulting in Piper's arrest) and they re-examine their relationship. Simultaneously, Piper must learn how to survive in prison and how to overcome its numerous, inherent struggles. Episodes often feature flashbacks of significant events from various inmates' and prison guards' pasts. These flashbacks typically explain how the inmate came to be in prison or develop the character's backstory.

text: The show pays close attention to how corruption, drug smuggling, funding cuts, overcrowding and guard brutality affect the prisoners' health and well-being and the prison's basic ability to fulfill its fundamental responsibilities and ethical obligations as a federal corrections institution. One of the show's key conflicts involves the prison Director of Human Activities, Joe Caputo, whose efforts and aims as a warden constantly conflict with the business interests of MCC, which acquired the facility when it was about to be shut down.

text: Production[edit]

text: Show creator Jenji Kohan read Piper Kerman's memoir after a friend sent it to her. She then set up a meeting with Kerman to pitch her on a TV adaptation, which she notes she "screwed up" as she spent most of the time asking Kerman about her experiences she described in the book rather than selling her on the show. This appealed to Kerman as it let her know that she was a fan and she signed off on the adaptation.[9] Kohan would later go on to describe the main character, Piper Chapman, as a "trojan horse" for the series, allowing it to focus on characters whose demographics would not normally be represented on TV.[10]

text: In July 2011, it was revealed that Netflix was in negotiations with Lionsgate for a 13-episode TV adaptation of Kerman's memoirs with Kohan as creator.[11] In November 2011, negotiations were finalized and the series had been greenlit.[12] Casting announcements began in August 2012 with Taylor Schilling, the first to be cast, in the lead role as Piper Chapman,[13] followed by Jason Biggs as Piper's fiancé Larry Bloom.[14]

text: Laura Prepon and Yael Stone were next to join the series.[2] Abigail Savage, who plays Gina, and Alysia Reiner, who plays Fig, had auditioned for role of Alex Vause.[9][15] Prepon initially auditioned for Piper Chapman,[16] however Kohan felt she would not worry about her [in prison], noting a "toughness and a presence to her that wasn’t right for the character." Kohan instead gave her the role of Alex.[9] Stone had originally auditioned for the role of Nicky Nichols, but she was not considered "tough enough" for the character;[17] she was asked to audition for Lorna Morello instead.[18] Likability was important for Morello, whom casting director Jen Euston deemed "a very helpful, nice, sweet Italian girl."[18] Laverne Cox, a black transgender woman, was cast as Sophia Burset, a transgender character. The Advocate touted Orange Is the New Black as possibly the first women-in-prison narrative to cast a transgender woman for this type of role.[19] Natasha Lyonne was to audition for Alex, but was asked to read for the character Nicky Nichols; "[Kohan knew] she could do Nicky with her eyes closed. She was perfect," said Euston.[18] Uzo Aduba read for the part of Janae Watson but was offered the character Suzanne "Crazy Eyes" Warren.[18][20] Taryn Manning was offered the role of Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett.[18] This American Life host Ira Glass was offered a role as a public radio host, but he declined. The role instead went to Robert Stanton, who plays the fictional host Maury Kind.[21]

text: The series is set in a fictional prison in Litchfield, New York, which is a real town in upstate New York, but it does not have a federal penitentiary.[22] The series began filming in the old Rockland Children's Psychiatric Center in Rockland County, New York, on March 7, 2013.[23] The title sequence features photos of real former female prisoners including Kerman herself.[24]

text: On June 27, 2013, prior to the series premiere, Netflix renewed the show for a second season consisting of 13 episodes.[25] For the second season, Uzo Aduba, Taryn Manning, Danielle Brooks, and Natasha Lyonne were promoted to series regulars.[26] Laura Prepon did not return as a series regular for a second season because of scheduling conflicts, but returned for season 3 as a regular.[27] On May 5, 2014, the series was renewed for a third season, as revealed by actress Laura Prepon.[28] For the third season, several actors were promoted to series regulars, including Selenis Leyva, Adrienne C. Moore, Dascha Polanco, Nick Sandow, Yael Stone, and Samira Wiley.[29] Both Jason Biggs and Pablo Schreiber were confirmed as not returning for the third season, but Schreiber appeared in the 10th episode of the third season.[30][31][32] The series was renewed for a fourth season on April 15, 2015, prior to its third-season premiere.[33][34] For the fourth season, Jackie Cruz and Lea DeLaria were promoted to series regulars; with Elizabeth Rodriguez also being promoted by the season's sixth episode.[35] On February 5, 2016, the series was renewed for a fifth, sixth and seventh season.[4]

text: The first season received positive reviews from critics. Review aggregator Metacritic gave it a weighted average score of 79 out of 100 based on reviews from 32 critics, indicating favorable reviews.[45] On Rotten Tomatoes, season one has a 93% approval rating based on 40 reviews, with an average rating of 8.2 out of 10 . The site's critical consensus is "Orange Is the New Black is a sharp mix of black humor and dramatic heft, with interesting characters and an intriguing flashback structure."[46]

text: Hank Stuever, television critic for The Washington Post, gave Orange Is the New Black a perfect score. In his review of the series, he stated: "In Jenji Kohan's magnificent and thoroughly engrossing new series, Orange Is the New Black, prison is still the pits. But it is also filled with the entire range of human emotion and stories, all of which are brought vividly to life in a world where a stick of gum could ignite either a romance or a death threat."[47] Maureen Ryan, of The Huffington Post, wrote: "Orange is one of the best new programs of the year, and the six episodes I've seen have left me hungry to see more."[48]

text: The second season also received critical acclaim. Rotten Tomatoes gave a rating of 98%, with an average rating of 9.1 out of 10 based on 42 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads: "With a talented ensemble cast bringing life to a fresh round of serial drama, Orange Is the New Black's sophomore season lives up to its predecessor's standard for female-led television excellence.[49] Metacritic gave the second season a score of 89 out of 100 based on 31 critics, indicating "universal acclaim."[50] David Wiegland of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the season a positive review, calling the first six episodes "not only as great as the first season, but arguably better."[51]

The site's critical consensus reads: "Orange is the New Black is back and better than ever, with a powerful fourth season full of compelling performances by the ensemble cast."[55] James Poniewozik of The New York Times reviewed the fourth season as "Do you measure the quality of a TV season as a beginning-to-end average or by how well it ends? By the first yardstick, Season 4 is ambitious but uneven; by the latter, it's the series' best."[56]

text: The fifth season has received "generally favorable reviews".[57] On Metacritic, it has a score of 67 out of 100 based on 20 reviews.[57] On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 76% rating with an average score of 7.47 out of 10 based on 33 reviews.[58]

text:
Netflix is famously tight-fisted when it comes to offering up viewership data about its original series. But execs with the streaming giant have repeatedly confirmed that OITNB is its most-watched original series. That has been backed up by the efforts of outside measurement companies to track viewing in the Netflix eco-system.

text: In April 2017, it was reported that a cybercriminal had stolen the first ten episodes of the fifth season in a security breach of a post-production company. Netflix failed to respond to ransom demands, and the cybercriminal leaked the episodes online. Netflix confirmed the security breach and an ongoing investigation by federal law enforcement.[79][80] Multichannel News reported that demand for the series significantly increased over the seven-day period following the leak of the episodes. It was also said that the leak would likely cause a decrease in demand for the fifth season when Netflix releases it in June.[81]

text: Ratings[edit]

text: Orange Is the New Black generated more viewers and hours viewed in its first week than the other top Netflix original series House of Cards and Arrested Development.[82][83] In October 2013, Netflix stated that the show is a "tremendous success" for the streaming platform. "It will end the year as our most watched original series ever and, as with each of our other previously launched originals, enjoys an audience comparable with successful shows on cable and broadcast TV."[84][85] As reported in February 2016, Orange Is the New Black remains Netflix's most-watched original series.[4][6][86] In 2016, a New York Times study of the 50 TV shows with the most Facebook Likes found that Orange Is the New Black is one of the shows most watched in urban areas, and despite its "minority-rich ensemble cast," the series "appeals more to a white audience."[87]

question_text: which is the only parliamentary point that can interrupt a speaker

text: Point of order

text: Explanation and uses[edit]

text:
Point of order (RONR)

Class
Incidental motion

In order when another has the floor?
Yes

Requires second?
No

Debatable?
No (but chair can permit explanation), unless it is submitted to the assembly for a vote

May be reconsidered?
No, unless it is submitted to the assembly for a vote

Amendable?
No

Vote required
Is ruled by the chair, unless it is submitted to the assembly for a vote (then it requires a majority vote)

text: In Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR), a point of order may be raised if the rules appear to have been broken. This may interrupt a speaker during debate, or anything else if the breach of the rules warrants it.[1] The point is resolved before business continues.

text: The point of order calls upon the chair to make a ruling. The chair may rule on the point of order or submit it to the judgment of the assembly. If the chair accepts the point of order, it is said to be ruled "well taken". If not, it is said to be ruled "not well taken".[2]

text: Generally, a point of order must be raised at the time the rules are broken or else it would be too late.[3] For example, if a motion was made and discussion began on it, it would be too late to raise a point of order that the motion was not seconded. If such a motion was adopted without a second, it remains valid and not having a second becomes irrelevant.[4]

text: Exceptions to the rule that a point of order must be raised at the time of violation include that a point of order may be raised at any time a motion was adopted in violation of the bylaws or applicable law, in conflict with a previously adopted motion (unless adopted by the vote to rescind it), or in violation of a fundamental principle of parliamentary law.[5]

text: The ruling of the chair may be appealed to the assembly in most cases. A majority vote against the chair's ruling is required to overturn it.[6]

text: A point of order is sometimes erroneously used to ask a question of information or a question of parliamentary procedure. If a member asks such a question, the chair should treat the question as the appropriate request.

text: Legislative use[edit]

text: In the United States Senate, the chair's ruling on a point of order may be appealed by any Senator.[7] Points of order with regard to the Budget Act or annual budget resolution may be waived by 3/5 of the Senate's entire membership.[8] Rule XVI, which prohibits normal legislation in appropriations legislation, may be waived by 2/3 of the Senate.[8][9]

text: The United States House of Representatives also allows points of order and appeals.[10]

text: In the Irish Oireachtas (parliament), a point of order can be used in relation to order in the assembly. However, the ruling of the chair in this assembly cannot be appealed.[11]

text: Until 1998 in the British House of Commons, it was required that a member raising a point of order while the House is voting be wearing a hat so they could be easily seen.[12] This practice was abolished in accordance with the findings of the Select Committee on the Modernisation of the House of Commons.[13] Deriving from this practice, in the Australian House of Representatives it continues to be customary for a member raising a point of order while the House is voting to hold a sheet of paper over the top of their head.[14]
