I just can't understand why they'd even bother. And don't say money. They don't have the money for that. Everyone knows it.

I'd blame Terry Bowden but I don't know how much influence he actually has there.

I'm sure money wise, it's a smart decision.

But I can't figure out the desire for teams like UNA or Western Kentucky or others to join a division they can't compete in. 

They'll always get beaten to a pulp by the big boys and they have no chance at competing in a meaningful bowl game.

They have a good, strong program, and they can make it work like Troy did.  Yes, it's about money.  TV money.

I hope the Lions do well. I think they will compete wonderfully in I-AA, but need to grow big time to even sniff D-1A.

When they step up, bank on this...they'll have more support, and a better program than UAB. By a long shot.  Troy, USA, and UNA will be better than UAB.

You'll find no argument about this prediction with me, frien.

Florence and UNA can thank Steve Pierce and his ego.

The only man with money and a brain on the board voted NO.....if he voted no then it wont make any money. And I am sure they were looking at him to foot a big chunk of that 1.4 million that UNA has to write a check for.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.
