In addition to my Nebraska-Oklahoma error, there were some others, and they were all caught and mentioned by UCF fans on Twitter.
Somehow I had it in my head that they were the Golden Knights, something I blame more on the Las Vegas hockey team than the fact that they actually <i>were</i> the Golden Knights up until last decade. Adam, the gentleman who answered questions for me, kindly pointed this out, but my superficial editing eye missed two instances.
When I mentioned their undefeated season from 2017, I couldn't remember who had won the actual championship (UCF fans also didn't like that I used the adjective "actual"), so I Googled "ncaa football champions 2017." I didn't look past the result and wrote that Clemson had beaten Alabama. But Google had screwed me, sending the result of the NCAA football championship game <i>played</i> in 2017, not the one from January of 2018, which was Alabama beating Georgia. UCF fans caught this.
Also, I referred the team as Central Florida. Apparently they don't like this either.
All of this is to say that some of the UCF fans have a bit of an edge to them, which is completely understandable given what happened in 2017.
Please clear the field! The game is not over!
