Movin' on up, ESPN is predicting the Knights #1 in the AAC for hoops: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/24952404/college-basketball-american-athletic-conference-preseason-power-rankings

There they go again - CBS Sports is predicting this week that Notre Dame will get the #4 CFP spot. This is the same Notre Dame that squeaked past Pitt by 5 in the 4th quarter just a couple of weeks after we blew Pitt away. I'm fine with ND going to the playoffs but it's funny when a team like that is automatically considered to be a contender but we don't even make the conversation. It's like FOX News: Fair and Balanced, right?

I really liked the City's rainbow banner for PRIDE this year: https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/orlando/thousands-fill-streets-as-part-of-orlandos-come-out-with-pride-2018 From WKMG

We don't always lose out on these deals, thankfully. When book publisher HBJ bought Sea World, William Jovanovich moved the HQ to a new building across from Shamu. It was one of the odder mixes of corporate culture ever witnessed.

The AP poll has our Hometown National Champions at #10, the Gators at #11 and USF at #21. The U is sinking beneath the waves. Charge On!

Will there be donuts?

Your Hometown National Champions remain at #9 in the Coaches' Poll this week and the Gators at #12. The Bulls are at # 20. Miami has left the building. Charge On!

Osceola's Hoagland Blvd redo getting underway, realignment to come: http://orlando-politics.com/2018/10/11/osceola-county-starts-hoagland-expansion/ From Orlando Politics

SAVE THE +ONE OAK TREE

Your Hometown National Champions make it 19 in a row by the hair of their chinny chin chins 31-30 and remain undefeated. Memphis made the Knights really work for it. Charge On! (after my heart starts again)

More on the Tampa Trolley (Totally Tampa!) Its schedule seems pretty limited compared to Lymmo - it will be interesting to see how conversion to free works out https://www.tampabay.com/blogs/baybuzz/2018/10/12/free-rides-for-now-hopes-of-a-bigger-future-for-tampas-streetcar-line/?template=amp From the St. Pete Times

Could the Gators take back the SEC East after all these years? LSU is sure trying to make it so with a 16-0 lead over Georgia at the half. Stay tuned...

That would definitely be a tough one to lose. Not as bad as Publix being sold to Kroger and moving to Ohio but we need to hang on to every Fortune 500 in the region we can. I still mourn losing Hughes Supply to Atlanta.

The Gators took a bit to warm up today and tried a new strategy - letting the coaches battle it out on the field. By the end of the game, though, it was a kumbaya moment with hugs all around and the Gators take home the win 37-27.

First, Andy and Hank, don't look! For everyone else, this gets the prize for best College Game Day sign this week: https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sec-football/watch-heres-the-best-urban-meyer-themed-college-gameday-sign-weve-seen-this-year/amp/ From Saturday Down South
