    The state should have intervened and required Alabama and UAB to play.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    The occasional transfer doesn't have a footprint. I couldn't think of a safer transfer than a guy whose team shut down.

    And it's back. Faced with intense public backlash, a giant spotlight on the mess that is the Alabama BoT, and the impending expulsion from CUSA, the UAB president reversed his decision today. Planning for a return of FB in 2016.

    Congrats to UAB for being the first team ever to give themselves the death penalty.
    Looking good Billy Ray!

    One has to wonder if this was all a plan behind the scenes. They knew they were getting screwed but weren't getting the attention...this move certainly gave them the spotlight...and the spotlight on the problem, no?

    Warning: It is the offseason. Trollolol may or may not be in full swing. Take a deep breath and eat a trolli burger before reading my posts.

    Uhh, no. The president is a dead man walking, and this fiasco cost them many millions of dollars as well as killing any on-the-field momentum they had recently built up.
