Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Whether you follow that logic or not is up to you. But the AD is going with it.

2. UCF will have a nat'l champion parade.

3. UCF will hoist a nat'l champion banner in their stadium.


I find all of this hilarious. The stupid CFP committee deserves this.
Football is not transitive, as we all know. Still not following that the CFP committee is stupid or made a wrong choice, however.

A fine morning. Chilly, yes. It's still wintertime. Good coffee smooths out the rough edges.

Yep. I am a serious pedestrian. I can see from my office that the winds have picked up substantially. Snow if blowing sideways.
