I agree; being disrespectful is not going to help our program.So ... if we had two less, do we really care about a marginal $780,000 or something?
Are you just being meanspirited when you promote dropping Tulane OR Tulsa? I am firmly of the opinion that we belong in a greater Conference. That, we got severely screwed by former longtime partners BC & SU. And WE have far more potential as we develop than many many of the AAC or SU or BC. Part of the issue is this perception that we can't overcome. WE ARE THE TOP PUBLIC UNIVERSITY ... in the region all Americans see as the Education Center. We are damn good as an AD.
But, disrespecting 11 other Programs? Why does this continue?
You can't replace UAB with just one team. I'd suggest they need both Tulane AND Tulsa...
The ultimate in irony: Tennessee put the UConn trip next year on the back burner in order to schedule a game in Nashville, against UAB.
Tulsa, Tulane, and SMU...they are financially very well-backed schools. Money talks.Oh for the love of Christ.
A: What I or anyone else thinks about the rest of the programs in this league doesn't matter. Oh UConn won't get a P5 invite because Whaler pointed out that Tulane sucks.
B: There isn't a reason under the sun to invite Tulane or Tulsa. Literally not a single reason - things were bad enough why water it down even further.
If you can't make fun of the AAC it's probably impossible to survive in it - because trying to talk it up comes off as insincere as one of Diaco's press conferences.

Who is their QB? Any eligibility left? Get him in here
Here is more background on this going back to 2006, Little Bear Bryant sounds like a Big Jerk. UAB was set to hire Jimbo Fisher. No really.

LOL. I thought of your posts when I said let's get thier QB. Seriously though, he'd be kind of ideal, a proven kid with one year of eligibility. A CA kid who started his career at Washington State. I am going to assume he will be highly sought after, but I hope we kick the tires at least.This... we need as much competition ASAP to help lead our offense and get it turned around... along with an experienced Tackle (or 2)
Really can't sheet like that up can you?Holy crap that is a shame. Forcing UAB to hire a bad coach just so that if you got Saban his former OC would still be available.

My guess is all UAB alumni and fans will become Auburn fans.
