This post could use some comments. This dummy has the nerve to use the word class. Class has nothing to do with this. Don't argue with him. Just insult him. Low blows will be accepted. LOL

No way am I going on al.com and reading their stupid comment section. I am just now getting to the point where I can tolerate being in the same room with bammers and that would set me back too far.

RE: AL.com readers believe UAB will qualify for a bowl game this season.
If UAB beats FIU next weekend I'm not sure how they wouldn't make a bowl game. USM is definitely another win with the way they're playing and I find it hard to believe we don't get at least 2 other wins.

Edit: I guess completely screwing up moving forward is also an option but I don't like to think that way.

Beat FIU and then you can go .500 the rest of the way and go bowling.

Could the game against FIU be UAB's biggest game since 2004's game between No. 24 UAB and Tulane in New Orleans?

If we beat FIU it sets the table for us to control our own destiny. Every game will become bigger each week. FIU is simply a game we cannot piss away IMHO. If we lose if we relate it to basketball FIU would be a WTF loss. Just my opinion.

Not out of the realm of possibility that we lose this game, but I agree with Attalla, this is one we SHOULD win. I really don't see how we wouldn't be at least bowl eligible if we win this weekend to go 3-1. If 6 wins would actually get us into a bowl is another story..

If Clark does nothing more than win the games he SHOULD win, then he's a step up from our previous three coaches.

In UAB's case, even 7 wins doesn't guarantee a bowl.

That's not why PS3 version of NCAA football 2014 said last night. 03-lmfao


But, seriously as a UAB fan I consider no games a guaranteed win for the record.

This is a true statement. However, being bowl eligible this year and then turning around and being bowl eligible again next year would almost assuredly mean UAB at least goes to a bowl next year. Just being eligible is a step in the right direction. Continuing in the right direction will bring everything else.

UAB's 2000 team, the same team which defeated Nick Saban's LSU team, went 7-4 and got shafted.

If Clark can turn things around to the point that we have six or seven wins, I'll be turning cartwheels, bowl or no bowl.

How many of us were hedging before this season, unwilling to go out on a limb and say we'd win more than maybe five games?

The 2000 UAB football team lost by 3 points at Kansas and lost by 3 points in OT vs. Southern Miss. I can't imagine that team not getting a bowl invite if they had won 1 or both of those close games. I think the biggest factor that season was attendance...

9/7/2000 18,000
9/30/2000 22,000
10/7/2000 18,000
10/14/2000 15,000
10/21/2000 13,000
11/11/2000 25,000

Average - 18,500

Very unlikely we don't make a bowl with 7 wins. We've been left out before, but that was with fewer bowl games in existence.

True... they also have a rule now that ALL 7-5 teams must get an invite before slots can be filled by 6-6 teams.
