    Link: The possibility of an on-campus football stadium at UAB could become a hot topic

    UAB will build an oncampus stadium on their own terms and of their own financing. If UAB thought they could get public funding for an oncampus stadium, it would have been done YEARS ago. It's now only being discussed publically, but has been researched and discussed internally for years. This...

    We Apparently Did Not Lose

    The NCAA said it was up to UAB to decide whether to leave the game complete at 5 innings (meaning a win for UAB) or whether to complete the game at a later date. UAB opted to complete the game at a later date.

    News Article: Andy Katz blog w/ interesting info about Gottfried, Pearson, Steele & our next coach

    Re: Andy Katz blog w/ interesting info about Gottfried, Pearson, Steele & our next co Unless your administration is crazy, I can see ONE reason and one reason alone that Davis would even be a consideration: Demarcus Cousins Cousins has pretty much said that if Davis were at Alabama, Alabama...

    Realistic Replacement list

    I think the reference is not AS much referring to previous recruits as much as future ones, even though Mike Davis did recruit a number of good players already to UAB (several 4-star recruits, a JUCO All-American, etc). But really, the future is what people are looking to. The following...

    Vote for Cooper Green Hospital

    They're giving away a free MRI to the team that wins this contest... Cooper Green Hospital (a hospital for the poor and uninsured) is currently 7th but has a ways to go to move into 1st. Help them out. They could really use it. Keep in mind. You can vote once per day per computer...

    South Alabama to start 1-A football in 2009

    Who compared UAB's attendance to Alabama's? I never said UAB's was anywhere close to Alabama in football attendance... but given UAB was about 100 years AFTER Alabama in starting football, that's a bit expected. I'm not saying South Alabama is a horrible school. My dad is actually a graduate...

    South Alabama to start 1-A football in 2009

    Well I don't personally believe that Alabama has 10,000 per game for basketball either, but that's what the box score usually reports. Everybody's their own expert on gauging attendance. Not surprisingly, those estimates of attendance are usually quite biased. At this point though, for a program...

    South Alabama to start 1-A football in 2009

    I challenge you to find any credible source that indicates ANY high school in this state that averaged 16,000+ per game. Please do, and let me know. The ONLY reason attendance was that low was because of the whole 2-10 record you know... or maybe it was the 60 scholarship players... or maybe it...

    South Alabama to start 1-A football in 2009

    Wow... didn't realize so many high schools in Metro Mobile averaged 20,000 a game. :rolleyes:

    South Alabama to start 1-A football in 2009

    South Alabama has fewer students and is in a small city than UAB... yet they think they can do better in terms of attendance. The only thing playing in their favor here is that they don't have Alabama playing 50 miles away from them. But they'll still face competition from Southern Miss, Troy...

    South Alabama to start 1-A football in 2009

    I'd be really surprised if Alabama or Auburn played South Alabama. Neither plays UAB or Troy now, so why would they play South Alabama?

    South Alabama to start 1-A football in 2009

    I think this is an incredibly large jump. Many thought UAB jumped too quickly, but not even UAB jumped from nothing to I-A. Supposedly, though, this is to avoid the moratorium put into effect by the NCAA. Jax State wanted to move up a division to I-A, but the NCAA said they would no longer...

    Home and Home with UAB....

    As far as football goes, I would probably agree that Alabama doesn't have much to gain at all. As far as basketball, though, Alabama is not in much better shape than UAB... in fact, when most people talk about the basketball powers in this state they talk more of UAB and Alabama than Alabama...

    Midnight Madness Thoughts

    The traditional Midnite Madness seems to be, sadly, going away. Since the NCAA changed the rules, few people actually do the event at 12AM... many do it earlier in the evening. And many others don't even do it on the same day or maybe at all. Even the Florida Gators, from what I understand...

    Final Four Predictions (07-08)

    Memphis North Carolina UCLA Kansas Memphis has a tougher schedule than you would think... not the most difficult schedule in the nation, but not easy. They play Southern Cal, Arizona, Georgetown, Gonzaga, Cincinnati, UAB (x2), Tennessee, and then whoever they face in the 2K College Hoops Classic.

    5 UAB Basketball Players Arrested

    Disorderly conduct is essentially nothing. I mean that can be something as simple as being too loud and bothersome to other patrons of a business. The physical harrassment I'm wondering about. I'm not sure what that exactly is supposed to mean since it is not an assault charge (which is...

    C/PF DeMarcus Cousins Update

    If he continues to play that way, he might very well reclaim his #1 prospect standing that he previously had. He's been really tearing it up this summer. A week or so ago he had 32pts in a game in the Nike Peach Jam.

    Huntsville native Keeling transferring from IU

    It's the same one. And yes, he was thinking of transferring, but I think after the other guys at UConn opted to leave and after some reassurances by Calhoun, he has probably decided to stay. I didn't say he WAS going to transfer. I simply said that's probably one of the only people that Mike...
