The Braves even talked me into a partial season ticket package a couple of years ago and I've really discovered the fun of getting out of Birmingham for some recreation. I had still been going to all the UAB football games and buying season tickets and attending as many basketball games as possible, shoot I had even started taking in quite a few of the Blazer Baseball games this past season. Alas those days are now gone as I will never be a season ticket holder for a UAB sport again (unless football returns one day). Oh I'll probably break down and take in a single game or two every so often just to hear our old fight song and to think back on the good times I had but no more donations to UAB in any shape form or fashion.

As far as College football goes I might look into some Samford games and if it's fun and they don't mind an old UAB grad sitting on a worn UAB stadium seat then I might give that level of College ball a try. As for the FBS stuff, I never want to see another game in my life.

One suggestion I might pass along is that you can enjoy a cruise vacation at a substantial discount in the fall. Perhaps I can take some of those UAB dollars and sail away...

Yep. I'm a huge Miami Marlins fans and I'll spent my time watching them, especially since they committed to the program and signed Stanton long-term. I will give up college football and pick up an NFL team. My grandmother text me about the UAB situation earlier and when I told her I wouldn't watch college football anymore, she told me I could be an Atlanta Falcons fan. Guess I'll be a Falcon now.

Maybe some will awaken?

Football fits in perfectly in Alabama, then.

After all that's happened, I'm siding with Clark. Wherever he goes, I'll support that team...as long as it's not in Tuscaloosa.

I wish he'd go to Samford. Id buy season tickets

I only followed UAB, and nobody else, so I'm done. The past couple years, I've become strictly an NFL guy.

Maybe a good poll question:

How will you redirect your formerly UAB football attention?

a) NFL
b) Samford
c) Wherever Bill Clark goes
d) Nowhere; football is dead to me
e) Don't know

f) The investigation, indictment and imprisonment of Paul W. Bryant Jr., Ray L. Watts and all others implicated in the crime we witnessed today.

I'll just say this.

I hope Clark doesn't take the Samford job and force me to buy Samford season tickets.

College football is dead to me. The rise of the "Power 5" and the death of my favorite team has taken all the fun out of it. I will probably follow NBA and Pro Soccer more. If B'ham can't have football, maybe we can get an MLS team. Still undecided on whether I will continue to support the basketball and soccer programs.

Got to go with "F" on this one.

i used to LOVE college football (before i even knew UAB had a team). watched every top25 game i could every week. in recent years, I've become sickened by the corruption. I've basically changed to watching UAB and Iowa (where i have a much weaker loyalty).
now, I'm done watching until the Blazers retake the field

I'm done with college football as well.......Go Colts!!
