“The good news, if you want to call it that, is the opponent is not some Power 5 school.

It's Appalachian State, the Sun Belt Conference champion. So it's not like the App State roster is loaded with top-tier talent. Unless you caught some bowl preview on the 20th-ranked and 12-1 Mountaineers you probably never heard of Darrynton Evans or Akeem Davis-Gaither.”

Oh you will, son, you will.

You may not know it, but UAB has a football program again.

For some reason I really don't like UAB. Still hoping we hang 100 on them.

Slick. We will look fast. I prefer the black domes though.

My quick layover in Auburn is almost up, heading the rest of the way shortly. See y'all in New Orleans this evening!
Auburn layover? You chartering a flight or what?
:lol: nah, I drove
Was going to say. You're that anonymous $1 million donor aren't you? Taking layovers to go hangout with ol' Gus.

I know that's not how UAB players feel, but damn if the disrespect in that article isn't strong. Probably a Bama die-hard writing about UAB because he has to. If his frame of reference for talent is Alabama, then perhaps App is just a Sun Belt school. When you compare App to UAB, App may as well be UCF whereas UAB is, well, UTSA?
