UAB is coming back!

[dallaswareagle]

I hope they do.  I like UAB.  I love watching their basketball team.  While I agree their stadium is trash, go to the damn games.  I attended a shit ton of shitty football games in Tuscaloosa in my time.  I watched Shula struggled to put 3 fucking points on the board against Lou Holtz.  Watched every damn minute of it, then fought traffic for 4 hours on the way home. 

Those assholes in the streets bitching about not having football needs to start buying tickets, put on their bullet proof vest and give the team support when they are playing.

Legion Field=Deployment.

Hopefully, something comes along to get them moved out of the warzone of Ensley. Putting a small stadium closer to campus down on the southside makes sense. Get them out of thw ghetto and chances are good tgey can become self-sufficient. The UA stance has been centered on the lost revenue associated with the program (proven to be a falsehood). Partner with the city and local business who have rogered up to support them to build a stadium.

With all the empty lots from abandoned buildings and the upgrades the city has done so far to downtown, you'd think this would be on the agenda.

UAB still has a football team?

They have uniforms and everything.

Not yet. The BOT "donated" all the stuff UAB had to Hoover. Gotta keep that pipeline open, cuz!

The student bookstore on campus did receive a shipment of t-shirts proclaiming their return, so they have that going for them.

Got Football? is already their number 1 best selling shirt on campus.

Now they'll retroactively claim national championships.

Said it before, I'll say it again.

What the hell is the world comin' ta?

So the UAB players will receive hostile fire pay as part of their full cost scholarship now?

UAB's defense will pick off passes and the people who live around the stadium will pick off the fans.

[djsimp]

I have an idea, maybe UAB should play at Hoovers HS stadium.

[Saniflush]

It's an opportunity to hate (further) on bama.  Shut up and join the rabble!

Silky agrees

Reach for the sky, honky!

Silky agrees

Appropriate because I've actually seen several characters resembling Silky around Legion Field.

So UAB is going to have a terrific band program? is that what y'all are saying?

We came back in time to call you a cracka.

You answered your own question.

FSU was once thought of the same way in Florida.

FSU self imposed a non existant program for most of its history by being an all girl's school....and then not giving a shit as a whole until Bobby Bowden DID give one.
