President Hitt: 'Show the Country What UCF is About!'
Our Knights have given us the football season we’ve been dreaming about: 11 victories, a conference championship and exciting finishes we’ll remember forever.
Now, you can help our team with one more thrilling finish – a UCFiesta!
With our invitation to the Jan. 1 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., the Knights have made college football history: at only 50 years old, we are the youngest university to ever play in a BCS bowl game.
Some have suggested that the BCS is too big for us, our team is out matched and our fans won’t travel. To them, I say, “You don’t know UCF.”
To you, I say, “Show the country what UCF is about!”
We need you to “Charge On” to Arizona and support the Knights in the final game of this historic season. The nation will be watching how the team performs on the field against Baylor and how our fans support the Knights in the stands.
The Fiesta Bowl will join the collection of “I was there moments” for fans, from our first game on a rain-soaked field in 1979 to memorable victories against Alabama, Georgia, Penn State and Louisville.
Tickets, travel information and the top five reasons “U Can Fiesta” are at http://www.ucfknights.com/tickets/fiesta-bowl.html. And stay tuned for upcoming information about Fiesta Bowl events, alumni gatherings and more.
I often say that at UCF, we dream big. But I’m not sure many of us would have dreamed this big – making our first-ever trip to a BCS bowl in this, our 50th anniversary year.
Jan. 1, 2014 is the start of our next 50 years. Join me in Arizona as we begin this new era by cheering on our remarkable team in the Fiesta Bowl.
Go Knights!
John C. Hitt

Yes, President Hitt has shown the nation what UCF is *ALL* about... and it is not our faculty, our labratories, the research of our students, or any academic accomplishments. No, of course not. It's about that giant corporate sponsorship that's going to earn President Hitt hundreds of thousands of dollars for his own bank account while our professors get less than a 1% raise and our students are paid less than the *minimum wage* he was guaranteed at their age. I'm sure President Millican, who swore "We will not have a football team at FTU as long as I am president", would be so proud of what's happened to his University.
