Seasons Greetings, UCF Kingdom, from the land of the Dragon, Blazer Nation.

I must admit, I am astonished by Central Florida's unbeaten streak this season, thus far, congratulations on such a profound establishing, making it into the top 25 as well. Was curious as to who among you are surprised at how well the Knights have played thus far and how it has affected the campus vibe?

Is everyone excited? Are they viewed as contenders, a team that's for real, pretenders that will fizzle out in conference play, or is a wait-and-see approach overall?

It is my sincere hope that UCF's record coming into Bartow Arena (unless we have to come down there first) is unblemished, it will be an honor to try to usurp that record....Knights vs. Dragons (Blazers)...Has a nice ring to it, eh? We'll be waitin' for ya! We owe you one for that football game! Payback time!

Merry Christmas and best of fortune to you in 2011...Long Live Conference USA!!!

Season greetings to you also. I hope your wish that UCF is undefeated when they play UAB comes true. As far as the second part...not so much.
