LOL! Win some, lose some.

No sense in getting butthurt. Players flip all the time. Hope he has fun with the cows. Let's move on.

the guy sitting four or five rows behind you that criticizes every play call
("they were stacked against the pass!") and takes credit for every
touchdown ("it's about time they ran that play"). he talks in a really loud
voice because he is convinced that everybody is just fascinated by
everything that he says. he got there late. he moans about the price
of a coke for the entire 3rd quarter. out of sheer embarrassment, his
wife/girlfriend has long since stopped going to the game with him. he
is always about to have lunch with the HC. he has the only viable
solution in the universe to the BCS. he tried to warn everyone about the
drainage problems. he would have gone for it on fourth down. he
wouldn't have gone for it on fourth down.

and he gives himself away all afternoon by asking retarded questions
like, "who is number 8?", calling for the charge, and referring to the refs
as "umpires".

those people are called....glass-half-empties, negative nancies, debbie-downers...etc. **** 'em.

mullens put up monster numbers last year. and we are his third commitment in a couple of weeks . . .

Quote:The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder passed for 3,649 yards with 40 touchdowns and just seven interceptions as a senior.

Mullens -- whose Twitter profile now lists him as a Southern Miss commit -- once again gives the Golden Eagles 19 verbal commitments for 2013. National signing day is Feb. 6.

You flipped a QB who was already not even the best QB in our 2013 class (that would be Briscoe). I think Mullens is a good QB so congrats, but we have more then enough talent at QB.

UAB needs more spots for OL and DL because that is where our real deficits lie.

I'll take the 40 TDs any day.

Even if we were bringing him in to be behind Briscoe, it hurts a lot. Especially since we lost him to USM and will have to face him every year. Hurry up and put the Eagles out west

why? we have been the one automatic win on your schedule for the past 4 years . . .

Perception. Would you guys care if you lost a commit to us? I'm sure you would, even if you had supposedly better recruits, just seeing "USM commit switches to UAB" would probably have some USM folks upset. Same holds true here.

They're 17 or 18 - not legally capable of signing a binding contract in this state. Of course they're going to change their minds.

I would much rather lose a QB to you than UM or MS, both of which have happened in the past couple of weeks.

UAB has far more problems than losing a qb to USM. Looks like serious problems in recruiting. What's going on?

That's what we're wondering. Everyone is going to have a few recruits get flipped but why so many, so fast?

Interestingly, McGee seems upbeat about it and seems to think it is going to be an outstanding class. Drew Champlin seems to think UAB has some "silent" commitments that we are trying to keep low to prevent any poaching.

I'm pretty happy to get Mullins.

Is it just me, or does anybody else see a little bit of Austin Davis is the way he plays (delivery, footwork, running style)?

Could be full and letting guys know they are no longer needed.

So what if he goes to Moo U.. He'll ride the pine if Danny Boy wants to prove a point.. I really hope we got to Starkville and we burn the b*tch down in 2014.. Then curb stomp that ass the next season.

Someone tried to suggest that on BlazerTalk but got shot down as a "sunshine pumper". Maybe McGee over-recruited? We did have 3 RB commits for this class, so it's possible.
