RE: "Brown set foundation for both Vandy, UAB."
Dr Jim Hilyer and his wife who coached kickers were very successful coaching the club team and then the early nonscholarship teams. Of course we were playing teams of similar team makeup like Clinch Valley State. Those were the days of players getting taped for a game while sitting on the tailgate of Hilyer's pick up truck.

Whether we would have done better under him after UAB had to go up to D1 in 1996 without the needed infrastructure that our opponents had but we didn't, is all conjecture. Some used to say we would be better off with ANYONE other than Brown and then we got Callaway and found that to not to be true.

I hope to live long enough to get an objective - no axe to grind- history of UAB athletics and how it developed from "scratch" under Coach Bartow..
