The unofficial online home for fans of the UAB Blazers. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

MTSU favored by 2. Basically the teams are even with a couple of points for the home team.

I had rather be the underdog..........just like we were at Western Kentucky!

We are 2-1 SU as favorites with wins over Troy and North Texas and a loss to FIU.

We are 1-1 SU as underdogs with a win over Western Kentucky and a loss to Mississippi State.

Several houses have it as a pickem

Danny Sheridan has it as Pickem. Home team is always given 3. Woudnt be surprised to see line move toward us as the week goes on. If we play like we have the last two weeks i like our chances.

If your QB can throw over the top and you have a decent run game you can beat MTSU. The MTSU secondary is horrid, especially the corners.

If that's the case, MTSU won't like DJ Vinson and they sure won't like our tight end Barnard Backman.

They are identical twins. Some parents think it's cute to give identical twins names that sound alike.

Don't forget about the other brother & sister - Thennard & Shennard.

This game will decide whether we are serious about trying to win conference.

Another exciting round of Blazer Ball baby! Woohoo!

I have that very same bobble head set...

Most books are favoring UAB by 1 now.

As the illustrious Smaug has said - pick your poison. You stack the box, we throw it. You double the WRs, we throw to the TE. You key on Howard, we run Vinson. Offensively, I think we've too many options for them to stop all unless we stop ourselves like FIU game.

Moved to Blazers -2

Don't know whether to be excited or worried. Either way, BRING THE HEAT BLAZERS!

No, they stopped us. But we appear to have learned since then.

Coaching?
