Unlike our idiot cousins to the west, UAB is bigger than the football team.

An OCS isn't the only new facility UAB needs, and frankly, not among the facilities UAB needs the most.

And this from as big a football fan as anybody here.

It's not uncommon for a capital campaign's silent phase to stretch out for a year or two so I don't think it's some accounting gimmick to include the facebook donation regardless of whether its already been spent or not.

Me, too, Doc! Whether many a fan or supporter cares to say so or not, it's got to be on their minds as well.
