The less said of the previous regime the better, though we could spend a few paragraphs detailing its rapid demise. Let's look forward: UAB has a new coach, Bill Clark, and unlike the old coach he seems invested in the entire structure of the Blazers' program, not just the locks on the front door.

UAB might not be Alabama, but it's in Alabama – and that's probably good enough for Clark, an Alabama lifer who, like all good Alabamans, left briefly but couldn't stay away. Born in Anniston, educated at Jacksonville State; first job at Piedmont High School, then Tuscaloosa County High School, then two years in Georgia, then back home to Dothan.

These guys are next on my "payback" list.

I think I'm going to skip the trip to Austin and go to UAB instead.

I remember them beating us in '95 when they were a start-up I-AA.

VERY low point for me.

Will be nice to see us give them a butt whippin' in person.

It was fun last year at Southern Miss.

I expect this one to be fun too.

      A few HSO's

      1: One big problem with the NIL (aka pay for play) is that the universities are what draw the fans, not the players. People argue that "they deserve a piece of the pie", etc., but the big money comes from rabid fans and alumni of the schools, not from fans wanting to watch certain players. I wish they would form a minor league football and see how much interest there is...wait, we already have that. It's called the XFL, USFL, UFL and the players don't make much money ($5,500/wk) and there aren't many fans at the games. Put the Rengades in Alabama uniforms and the Stallions in Auburn uniforms and you'd sell out AT&T stadium. Why, because the players don't matter, the universities are what matter (as it pertains to attendance). Another example is the NBA D-League. What kind of money are those guys making? (I'll save you the Google search, they make $25K/yr). I have to assume that's peanuts compared to many of the NIL deals players are getting. If you want to get paid, go pro. Nobody is making you go to college to get a free education that will benefit you for the rest of your life. 2: I hate the argument that "coaches make big money and can leave for another job whenever they want to." See the last two sentences of the previous point. If you want to be able to do that, go pro. Make it your career just like the coaches have done. There are a very limited number of head coaching jobs at the college level and these coaches have put in LONG hours and worked their way up to the positions that they are in. Nobody was giving them millions of dollars when they were a GA busting their tail for nothing.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      Those schools you mentioned have already reached out to The Big 12. Also Louisville and Pitt have 100+ year historic rivalries with Cincy and WVU respectively. Keg of Nails and Backyard Brawl will both be owned by the Big 12 soon enough.
