Each week, we'll look at some reasons to taunt, belittle, and bully the Longhorns' football opponent. This week: the Central Florida Knights.

• There's a Sale at Academy: The Knights are looking for a new shoe provider after Adidas dropped its $3 million apparel contract with the school. UCF basketball player Marcus Jordan, son of Michael Jordan, angered the equipment company by rejecting Adidas and wearing Nike Air Jordans in a recent game.
• He Also Said He Was In U2: George O'Leary was the head coach at Notre Dame for five days. Then word got out that he lied about his academic and athletic background, and the Irish cut him loose. He claimed to have a master's degree in education and to have played college football for three years, neither turned out to be true.
• I Need Those Extra Hours: Fans raised a stink earlier this season when tailgating hours were cut back. For games that begin at 6 pm or later, tailgate lots open at noon, rather than at 8 am as in years past. The good news is that for games that begin before 6 pm, you can still get your drink on beginning at 8.
