Why would Solomon have an axe to grind against UAB? He has only done what Scarbo and many others has done? Tweak UAB fans to get them riled up to increase page hits. They do that with other schools too. It's nothing personal against UAB.

Solomon is no longer a local guy. He is national with CBS. He is also on of the few journalists that does "deep digging" research when it comes to NCAA issues.
But that doesn't matter because he once posted a picture of A UAB game that few people was attending. 03-zzz

When was the las time Scarbo did any type of journalistic research or number crunching?

Solomon has been relentless and consistent with his crapping on UAB. I'm glad for him he's hit the big time, but I haven't missed his scribblings at all.

He is doing some good work at CBS Sports regarding the Ed OBannon case and the concussion lawsuits and is doing a good job exposing the hypocrisy of the NCAA. I don't think he has mentioned UAB once.

Maybe he has forgotten to be relentless and consistent.

I was referring to his time at the local fishwrapper.

I'll take your word for what he's done since.

In case you haven't noticed, there no longer is a local fish wrapper, unless someone has found a way to wrap fish in the world's worst website.

Actually, there's still a fishwrapper. It comes out about 4 days a week, is full of enormous pictures and very few words, and is still an excellent wrapper of fish. 03-lol

The literal meaning of "NEWS"paper has been lost in B'ham. It has become more a periodical magazine format with commentary articles put out three days per week rather than current actual NEWS. Even the reader opinion section has been reduced.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Wish they'd implement that policy on their website.
