I know people might say "Who cares.. its UAB"

And that this belongs in another sub-board

 

 

But sometimes it's good to hear/read when "one of the little guys" are able to succeed against the CFB cartel

It's 100 more kids that can get a scholarship and play Division 1 football. This is great news.

Although I give huge props for their coach

He led them to their first bowl eligible game in 10 years, right when the program was cancelled

 

He was offered multiple jobs afterwards.. but stuck to his guns, refused them, and stayed with UAB hoping the program would be revived.

I agree about their head coach. I think we will see him moving up the ladder to bigger schools in the not too distant future.

 

 

Go Bulls!

Nay, nay .... USF is receiving bad karma because a decade ago we were mean boys to UCF fans who infested OUR board craving attention.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
