Tony Kurre who is a big UAB guy.
Where were all these big UAB guys when the seats at games were empty and the team needed support? This is just like all the idiots running around Mobile that start flapping their gums about wanting a sports team and then never support it; just look at the Bay Bears. People won't even go when it's free and they are giving shite away.

UAB averaged 21,841 fans per home game in 2014.
5th most in CUSA.
That's for a 6-6 team that hadn't been to a bowl game in a decade.
Why? Because it was obvious that what Bill Clark was building.
UAB just had two guys drafted and several of their transfers went to P5 schools. The program was building and if Bill Clark didn't leave for somewhere bigger then in 5 years UAB would have been the class of the CUSA and risen their program the way Memphis and Louisille did 10 years ago.
