Really something that I found online all. Take a look at the then modest downtown Orlando skyline in the background. This was also after they tore down the original upper deck and before they built the still existing upper deck.

IMO, this picture needs to be at the UCF library for historical and sentimental purposes.

Thank you to the Knight fan on Reddit that originally posted this ( I can't find it anymore and I was lucky I saved it a while back).

Actually, the Tangerine Bowl in those days. And,wait, you can see it ? If so, why can some see it and others can't ?

We put a man on the moon 50 years ago and can't get a decent photo hosting site that works!?

OKAY - So who can see the pic and who can't ? What is a good picture uploading site in everyones opinion ?

Ok, you've got me there.

On the season ticket brochure they called it "Saturday Knights Live".

UCF's attendance as a division III school in 1979 was higher than USF's at any point the past several years.

Tulane's logo looks like a Trident. Very nice. Hey, if anyone else has old, historical photos of your teams please post them by all means.

I would even be willing to rename this thread to match too.
