1) Stay until the very end, regardless of the score.

2) Cheer loudly and often. Win or lose, these guys deserve to run off the field to a standing ovation for the hell they've been put through.

as the last home game of the season, is it also Senior Day?

It is. Make sure to be in the stands early to support those who have endured three different coaches and given so much for such little recognition.

BlazeRadio dedicated its' jazz broadcast last night to Coach Clark the football team, & support/encouragement was expressed on the air for them for what they've been subjected to...The sentiments you expressed here, I shall definitely embrace for this Saturday, as they actually crossed my mind during last night's program...You know where to find me in Legion Field, for what might be UAB's final "home" football game....#WeFightAsOne

I hope that all Blazer fans attend and we have cause to celebrate for this like we did the win over North Carolina at Bartow. The win would mean much more becauseof what has been happening around the program and we will be in the postseason if we pull off the upset.

An upset isnt likely but I will guarantee you the team will play harder than Marshall and any other team in the country.

Has Legion Field ever been stormed by UAB fans?

A few wanted to get to Coach Callaway once , but never a mass storming.

Closest I ever recall was when we beat Southern Miss my Junior year (2009?). It was the first win we ever had and Hiram Atwater sealed the game with a beautiful pick six

I know a UT guy who was there when they finally beat the gumps. He and some buddies decided to rush the field. He was the first one over the fence.

He had a mouth full of turf and ziptied at the wrists and ankles before he knew what hit him. None of his buddies followed.

Not that I know of, but there was a game between Tennessee & "Updyke U" when The Volunteers won and their fans tried to storm the field...Big mistake..."Birmingham's Finest" put in some work on those fans who trespassed on Bahr's "sacred ground", it was ugly, there was one occurrence where some UT fans were playing "tug of war" with Birmingham cops near a section of the fence with a Tennessee fan trying to get away from being beaten and/or arrested, can't remember the exact year that happened, but it was the talk of the town when it went down.

LF is a hard field to storm... we need to keep 'ease of field-storming' in mind when we build our OCS.
