Being 13 hours from Birmingham, I can't make it to the game, but if I'm going to follow it would help to know game time. The game write up on http://www.uabsports.com DOES NOT HAVE THE STINKING GAMETIME!!! CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE MORE STUPID?

Yeah, I found it by clicking on the schedule link, but, and GN can correct me if I'm wrong, I think you learn in Journalism 101 that if there is an event one of the first two paragraphs should include who, what, WHEN and where. I always thought when included the time as well as date of the event.

IMHO we're setting new records for rinky-dink. It really takes an effort to be a UAB fan. Is it any wonder attendance sucks?

Yes you are correct about the 4'w and sometimes how in the first paragraph of a news story. And yes it does take a real effort to be a UAB (football) fan these days.

I'm not trying to be funny here, but I thought it was the five W's; Who, What, Where, When, and Why. Am I remembering that incorrectly?

Yeah, we don't ask "Why" in the military. You just do.
