There is plenty of unofficial word, of course, and you can choose any version of that you want. My observation on Friday night was that UA director of athletics Bill Battle was getting plenty of 11th-hour pressure from people seeking to make their position on the UA basketball program known. That was still the case Saturday and shows no sign of relenting.

I've heard that too. Got a friend, who's father is a respected doctor, and he said this; Bill Battle and the interim president do not want to fire him, but they are getting tons of pressure from wealthy boosters from Birmingham to give him the boot.

We'll know who wins soon enough I guess.
