If I were them, I’d do it after every game… win or lose.

That’s awesome

Can’t wait to get a full band. What a difference.

Will we be trying to take some UAB’s band members too?

I’m not sure if those arguments make me mad at UAB, so much as they make me mad at us not starting football until 2013.

[size=11px][font=Verdana][b]Message From A Distraught UAB Fan... [/b][/font][/size][font=Verdana][/font][font=Verdana][/size][size=13px] Good morning, Conference USA family and friends. Our time in my favorite conference is coming to an end, in lieu of what has happened to our beloved UAB Blazers Football team, I am very heartbroken and angry, we have let these young men and women down here at UAB, not just the football team, but the rifle and bowling teams as well, even more emphatic, we've allowed on our watch the decimation of the legacy of Gene Bartow. This is not what his vision was for UAB Athletics, and IMO, we've done a terrible job protecting and perpetuating it. Although I am still proactive in trying to help UAB get equal representation and complete restoration of our lost sports teams, my desire to even watch a collegiate athletic event has taken a huge hit because of all this. You've heard me say several times here prior to the murder of our football team that if you don't have a seat at the dinner table, you are probably on the menu.

Well, we at UAB have learned this the hard way. I wouldn’t wish this feeling on my worst enemy (except for the people responsible for what happened to our team, university and city), and my message to everyone here is simple…Support your teams with your time, energy and money, do your due dilligence, know your governing bodies and keep an eye on them consistently, because I cannot shake the feeling that this is going to become a pandemic in the so-called “G-5” Conferences, I even heard a sports writer arrogantly say that this is the harsh reality of college sports if you’re not a member of a “Power” Conference. My red flag has been up ever since hearing him (Pablo Torres) say that last week on “Around The Horn.”

You all have seen what happened to us at UAB, they “Pearl Harbored” our Football program at a time when they just beginning to enjoy the taste of success, our university is in emotional turmoil and our city government’s powerless to do anything impacting to restore what has been fiendishly taken from us. I don’t want to see that happen to anyone else, the devastation is indescribable, you all have seen the videos of the reactions to this, and the sorrow in our faces. Do not let this happen to your school!!! I wish you all the very best of fortune, Conference USA.[/size][/font]

The no confidence vote won’t happen till January. That basically will mean all the players and coaches will be gone. Not sure its worth trying to restart from scratch.

Was it worth it for us to start from scratch?

Completely different animal.

If it is able to parlay this into separation from the BoT, then absolutely it would be worth it. I just hope the good guys are able to keep the momentum and get Watts out come January.

Do you guys think the "recent FBS entrant that signed a 2,000,0000 concession deal with Pepsi is us???

I guess I’m not paying enough attention to the concessions.
