Keith is just flat-out outstanding. He is a tremendous administrator and will bring passion, great organizational skills and a strong work ethic to that role. He is one of my closest friends. This is a grand slam for the University of Central Florida.
On November 20th, UF and FSU will compete on the track, and on the 26th, the teams compete on the gridiron. This is the first time this rivalry has been promoted through another sporting event like this, and we want to thank Checkers for their outstanding support.
Billy told me he was tired of losing early and determined to figure out what was wrong and fix it. I could tell he was serious and it was bothering him.
It's important to tell our story and find ways we can to do things better,
I just think to try to put Miami in a 13-week season, our schedule is tough enough as it is. If there are 14 weeks, that gives you another open date to play with there. That's why we did it. I think the series is good for the state, and so does Paul Dee. But it's just not a series that's going to work out on a regular basis.
I think it's a huge home-court advantage. I think the fact that everybody is on top of the court, the job the students have done making that a difficult place to play ... people say how loud it is in there. It's a different environment.
It had nothing to do with the outcome of the game.
The comment was made (before the game) that if they (won) they felt the students were coming and there's nothing they could do about it. Before the game starts, if you have an idea that's going to happen and there's nothing you do about it, it makes you wonder how much planning went into it.
That way when it's time to hit the ground once the season is over, you're already off and running. The timing is never ideal in a coaching change. I talked to former coaches, NFL GMs, television folks. I picked people's brains and checked out the Internet to find out as much as I could. Indiana has time to do that. I didn't talk to any school or coaches but did hire a consultant to gauge the interest for us.
The years that we do have the flexibility, we want to schedule them.
It's a unique situation. Obviously it causes a lot of awkward situations and it's not ideal. But I do think it helped with the search.
We wanted to be a factor on the national scene. And you can't do that without being a player in this tournament.
Why not us? Why can't we be champions in basketball, too.
We appreciate the support of the Jacksonville community to keep this traditional rivalry in Jacksonville through 2010. The week-long festivities in the community and the pageantry surrounding the game are unmatched in college football.
