Garrick McGee was hired to finish off what was left of UAB football.

Neil Callaway was hired to destroy it.

Yep, one that will show improvement over 2-10 too.

Sooner or later, though, as always happens, UAB will say "F**** it, let's build something there", and that will be that.

do we really want to piss off the Japanese?

Birmingham is actually a tourist attraction because of the Ullman museum and many like to see the school while they are in town. tearing down the school could be viewed as a loss of face to the Japanese American community.
