KRISTY SHONKA STAFF WRITER Look into my crystal ball

With all the excitement around Steve Orsini, UCF's new athletic director, I decid­ ed to pull out my crystal ball and check out what things might be like in five years if Orsini is able to accomplish all he hopes he can. Football season 2007... A packed house at the Florida Citrus Bowl (or what­ ever it's called then) wit­ nessed a part of UCF history as the Knights took the field against Georgia Tech in its first Atlantic Coast Conference game. It was the largest crowd ever to see a UCF game at the Citrus Bowl and the Knights did not disappoint. They won the game 28-17, immediately making UCF's presence knOWJJ. in the ACC. The move to the ACC put all 17 sports in the same conference for the first time in the school's histo­ ry.
