Hope you have a good day and will see you in the next UAB thread (LOL)
Thanks and same to you. It's refreshing to have a reasonable conversation about a controversial topic with a rival fan that doesn't denegrate into al.com insults.
I too agree with you on most all of your points and I want UAB to be the best it can be. With respect toyour issues on the academic side, I agree with you....Yes, I agree that funding has probably been lacking but honestly football is just not the answer. Quite frankly, its unreasobale to think otherwise given that massive juggernaut of a program that sits an hour away.

Again, I respectfully disagree about athletics, but I think that is because my definition of a successful program for an urban university is so much less than an SEC caliber school.
I think a 20k stadium in C-USA would have had enough support to survive, but it is really a moot point at this time. Also, I think Birmingham shares a lot of the blame for this. If they had donated land and helped offset a stadium (something cities often do to increase revenues) instead of digging their heels in about a dome that will never happen, the program would have had a much better shot, esp with a coach like Clark at the helm. There are tons of talented players within Bhm city schools and surrounding areas who have never really been coached up on the fundamentals who could shine if given the opportunity.
I also want to say thanks for a good discussion that did not include shooting birds or calling someone retarded!
