    UCLA vs. UAB

    I guess we'll see. The way that link reads we have to get by Illinois to see you. I don't know if that is correct, and I'm not sure we can do it twice in a row. I just know that we'll bring back most of the team. They'll be a year older, with another year in the weight room and at the...

    UCLA vs. UAB

    Mehinti got two early fouls and we had no answer for that 260 pound pork chop in the middle. They beat our brains out in the paint. I was hoping that Alford's shot would be off and he would keep jacking threes after hitting nine against SMU, but he made really good decisions with the ball...

    An appreciation

    We got 52 rebounds. That's effort. The other side of it, as Haase said this morning, is that it was *too many* rebounds, because many times we were rebounding our own missed shots. I knew our team was better than the record because the season was front-loaded with tough OOC games, we were...

    An appreciation

    I picked this game at 73-68 and was told that predicting holding ISU under 80 was bold. I didn't know your team, but I knew about mine. I want to take a moment to express my appreciation for how I have been treated on this board. When I first got here there were a number of threads that were...

    "Arena The Dump (Capacity: 0)" Now, was that nice? I thought better of you Hawkeyes.

    Tell you what, you can have Herman Frazier and Lee Moon as co-AD's. That should cripple your program for the next fifteen years or so.

    Don't even get me started on the state legislature. As Kinky Friedman said (about Texas, but I'm filing the serial numbers off and claiming it.) "How can you look at the Alabama Legislature and still believe in intelligent design?"

    Who wins the Mascot Bracket?

    Sorry, guys. SB Nation, an authoritative source, has decided the matter. It's on the internet, it must be true. http://www.sbnation.com/lookit/2015/3/18/8245425/2015-mascot-deathbracket-dragons-tigers-and-bears-oh-my South Region Round of 32 Iowa State Cyclones vs. UAB Blazers AW HELL...

    UAB

    Well, two things are going on. We have an athletic task force charged with generating accurate numbers to prove football and athletics are viable. The Carr Report was so bogus and biased that it is worthless. They were to hire a big four accounting firm and an athletic consulting company to...

    Well, the eye chart was for the referee. BTR nearly got run from that game, the ref didn't think that was near as funny as we did.

    The research side of the school generates a huge flow of money. UAB brings in 76% of the UA system dollars. We're the cash cow for the system. At the same time, UA Tuscaloosa has been on a huge building binge, and they have overbuilt in terms of classrooms and dorm space. They are relying on...

    FREE UAB

    UAB has been blessed over the years with good Presidents, people of character with enough backbone and strength of will to face down the BoT. They've had to bite their tongue and make compromises in order to survive, and indeed a couple of them were forced out because they wouldn't bend the...

    LOL. A practice field with one on each end, and a little half field with one. UAB is a cutting edge research university, but even we're not *that* innovative. There was a sinkhole under the field. It was filled in but it's never been right. One of the things that our new coach was promised...

    We've got a pretty good guide to the town up on our board, check it for next time. http://csnbbs.com/thread-45191.html It depends on where you go, where you're staying. We have some world class restaurants here, Frank Stitt has several places here and is a Beard Award finalist almost every...

    Y'all seem to be too. Cocky mothers at first but once we started talking you're good fans - proud of a good team but not jerks about it. If we gotta lose at least you guys aren't horse's ***** about it. Everything I see about your team I like, except for the playing you in the NCAA's part...

    Pass. I get enough of that crap already. Classic trailer park fan. Can find the campus and the stadium following the signs. Couldn't find the library if her life depended on it. Probably hasn't seen the inside of a library since she dropped out of the 11th grade, at that.

    University Alabama at Birmingham vs. Iowa State predictions

    We play pretty decent defense. Our stats are all jacked because of the early season. That said you guys have tons of offense, and your players are older with more thickness and strength that goes with that. I'm also concerned about whether we can score enough to stay with you, but I don't get...

    You're slandering ******'s everywhere. Yeah, we're reaching out to who we can for whatever support we can get, trying to get media scrutiny. Our frats and sororities are reaching out to their chapters there for instance. That's another one. We barely have a greek system, had to fight for...

    Our best guys could barely get a walk on as a practice player at Bama. We had a couple that transferred out to big schools, most notably Jordan Howard, who will be running behind Indiana's line next season. There's a little of that, in that the BoT basically sees any donation, ticket sold...

    We need out from the system, but that takes a state constitution amendment and a statewide vote where 80% of the state votes Crimson Tide. We're trying to force changes in how the board of trustees is structured, but that happens in the statehouse too. Most of the legislature graduated from UA...
