Missed it.

Anyone care to recap?

Missed it. Maybe they will podcast it. Usually have to ask them since it is not Tuscaloosa related.

I got caught up at work and forgot all about it. I would guess there will be a recorded podcast posted within the next couple of days. Until then, anyone?????

I thought keeping up with this stuff was your job

What is this Opening Drive of which you speak?

I don't see it programmed into any of the radio channels that I listen to.

A show that gave your head coach 34 minutes in studio on the big stick in town.

And I suspect this same show that you are propping is just pro-UAB all the time & just sends out positive vibes about UAB all the time.

I thought that was a great line. It was played for humor, not a serious proposition.

The OD treated him very well. They were respectful, asked decent questions, and gve him a lot of time. For JOX, it was a very good UAB interview.

I enjoyed that. A coach with a little charisma. Refreshing.

Obviously not, but for this moment, they were positive and more or less pro-UAB. At least, they gave us some quality coverage. And we finally have a coach with some entertainment value for the show's listeners.

He summed up our current situation best with (paraphrasing) "If we started building a stadium today, it would be 3 or 4 years before it opened, so I need to win in Legion Field".

I guess they figured they need our listeners now that 97 is out bammering them

LOL I thought the same thing. I still have that e-mail from Jacob Allison saved when I complained one time and he stated they did not need us. Shortly after we had the Zone, which was descent for a while until they started the shift.

If Shaq Jones is up to 230 lbs CUSA better watch out.

Not only that, but when he speaks you can understand what he said.

the stadium can be build in 18 months or less
