UAB Post Game Thread

Really hope ppl will show up and support the team for the Duke game.
For those who were there for the days of sellouts at the Rent, it was so much fun. The team is making major progress but it’s tough to get to the next level without fan support

Now that was a win, hits so loud, I thought I could hear them from the second deck. Offense had a great blend of passing and running with the wild cat. UAB qb was uncomfortable the entire game-Witness 4 and 40 from within their own five yard line in the second quarter. And a big shout out to every kickoff to UAB hitting the endzone. That’s how you play the game. The only down moments were last minute UAB td and once again, a full parking lot that forced me to turn around 90 minutes before game time with my blue lot pass and pay for parking. Apart from Michigan, I have never seen the lot that full. Inside, it looked liked 15 k at best. Hopefully everyone goes inside next week.

You should not have to pay for parking with a blue pass. You just park in a different lot. I have done so in Grey Lot multiple times.
 
We suffered thru the 2010s watching our offense run/run/pass/punt, drive after drive. We'd only dreamed of having an offense capable of passing like the one we're seeing on the field this year, with the threat of passing on any down. Enjoying it, and looking forward to the final 3 games of the regular season!

I think that’s right. They had 24 fans compared to our 19 students.

To be fair, shortly after kickoff there had to be at least 50 or so students in the student section. By halftime it was in the low 20's and in the 4th qtr maybe mid teens.
 
Early in the game we had at least 4 , 2nd and longs. 2nd and 14, 2nd and 12 etc. Sack, penalty whatever. Sammis likes to throw on first down. It has its upside but we will not beat Duke always behind the chains. We were able to overcome this vs UAB as Joe F was very on target. As others have mentioned we run to the short side predominately. I don't know why we rarely run wide side but it should be in the playbook. Our wideouts are decent blockers and it could get the run game going. The ref made a lame call in the 4th Q taking away a Neider bubble screen. After that they ignored multiple holds by UAB O-lineman and these were obvious calls. As for the students. Back in the day we had games at the Rent on weekday nights with a packed student section. Pitt, WVU come to mind. Today was a disgrace. Our D showed way more effort today to make up for the Rice game. It was nice to see. We dominated the game despite what the stats showed at the end as far as TOP, plays and total yardage.

Not to piss on the parade, but we lost the second half which just fries my backside. Need 4 quarters of sustained intensity and execution vs Duke. We can get it done. We just can’t shrink in the moment.

Weren’t we up 38-6 after three quarters? Why in the world would your backside be fried by what happens in garbage time?

LOL. My statement was not meant literally. I didn’t count Blazer fans or students. But both areas were almost totally devoid of people.

Noon start, the students are eating a bowl pf Cap n Crunch and firing up a fatty. They ain’t getting on a bus. It is what it is.

I dunno if it's that dire.. but I'd say last night being Halloween and the proclivity of college aged students to dress up and drink heavily had more to do with it than a wake and bake bowl with the Cap'n. Those crunch berries are hard to deny though.

And Dom and some of media were pissed. Sounds like recipe for success.


Not sure if everyone saw this on broadcast but Mora did his Pete Carroll impression prior to fourth quarter. Jumping up and down firing up his team. Great to see that enthusiasm.

You got a time stamp?

I'll say it.

Any excuse is soft. If they were trying to hook up, they'd find a way to be there.

Make your own value judgment but bottom line is students aren't invested in this team.
