On the first full episode of the Black & Gold Banneret Podcast, Jeff Sharon and Eric Lopez ring in the new UCF sports season with a rundown of how you can follow the show and what they’ll be yammering about on a weekly basis on the show. They discuss the new coaching hires all over UCF Athletics, including Scott Frost and his impact on the Football program (10:00), as well as all of the other new coaches on campus, from Johnny Dawkins to John Roddick (22:30). Then they do a deep dive on the latest rumors about the Big 12 expansion saga (36:40), including the guys’ takes on how many teams will get in, which teams will get in, and whether UCF will be one of them.
