UAB just skull fahqed Southern Miss yesterday too. Feel bad for those kids but, yeah, they probably have a few players that could help expedite our rebuild. We certainly have an ample amount of scholarships open!

EXCELLENT point. I wonder if this puts Tennessee back on our near-future schedule??

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.

Tulsa, Tulane, and SMU...they are financially very well-backed schools. Money talks.

Who is their QB? Any eligibility left? Get him in here :)

This... we need as much competition ASAP to help lead our offense and get it turned around... along with an experienced Tackle (or 2)

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.

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.:confused:

Really can't sheet like that up can you?

hate to go in like this (on UAB) but IF this is it for them a kid I hope we have an eye on is WR Marqui Hawkins... transferred in from Florida and was sitting out this year...
 
Its open season on their roster and the vultures will be out full force.

I think we filled that game with Missouri for 2015

This makes want to be an Auburn fan. From everything I read, Baby Bear is the main reason why UAB football is going to be nixed. It honestly seems like the Board of Trustees is doing everything in their power to ruin every other school in the state of Alabama (other than Auburn) so that they can maintain their dominance in the area.

I'd say schedule UAB, but we would still be able to find a way to lose.
 
Geez! That list covered just about everyone not in the p5.

Seriously - if the Power 5 raise the cost of a football program too high for conferences without big TV money, are we better off going to the Big East? We'd be getting MORE money per school without having to pay for football...

F the conference. The Mountain West is on our level and Boise is still doing fine. Complaining about the conference you're in when you are the worst (or second worst) in the conference makes you look silly.

So when you are a fan of a bad team you can have no opinion about who the conference adds. Makes sense.
