lol UAB's brutal schedule. Was their signature win Alabama A&M or Rice?


Dude they didn’t exist as a program this time last year.

I’ll admit I thought they’d be 4-8 again and that bringing the program back was a mistake. I was wrong.

I'm ok with them shutting the program down again. I'm just a fan of Clark.

In all honesty. I really don't care. This season is already over. Nothing means anything now. Beating FSU would be nice..but freak. We have 50 players now. FIFTY. It's just insane.

Out of curiosity, would they still be leading in attendance if you take out the 1st game anomaly?

The attendance for the 1st game was around 20k more than their 2nd highest attendance this year. Their last home game only had about 21k.

I've always thought UAB under utilized their mascot. They have the coolest mascot in D1 athletics, yet you never saw any cool promotional material until now.

For several years 2006-2012 Prattville was better. They need to go ahead and fire Anderson and bring Dubose back.

They have the potential to, but they went a bit too cartoonish. Just my opinion.

Paying customers. No revenues. I can get free tickets to UAB football for any game.

An interesting thing about attendance reporting at UAB games is they report actual people there, not tickets sold. That probably hurts their attendance numbers some since lots of businesses bought tickets to support the team that may not get used. Not all schools report that way.

They were just tired of throwing good money at a program that couldn't draw as many fans as Hoover High.

Still can't draw at 7-2.


That's bullshite, they're averaging over 30k, which is best in Conference USA.
