I hope this is really good news. I just hate getting my hopes up.

This.

There better be some substance in this announcement and it not just be announcing a fund raiser or something

Or I will berate you for not supporting all of UAB athletics and not just basketball

Show up tomorrow. Bring a friend if you have to.

For the geographically-distant, anyone I can call or email?

For the record, I paid $$ to reserve a season ticket (during the 2 days we could).

If you care, come. I don't think you'll be disappointed. If nothing else, you'll hear from the ATF where things stand firsthand.

I expect that you'll hear rather more than that, however.

Looking for ATF meeting info but struck out. Possibly repost here?

I'm already expecting a let down tbh.

Why? I see no reason for a let down. Show up.

Are we all just assuming or does anyone know what the news is? I just want to know if it is really valid big announcement or something along the lines of announcing a new fund raiser or such.

My guess would be it's not a fundraiser. That hasn't worked out in the past. If I had to guess, my guess would be we have a pretty good amount of money pledged and they are going to share that number.

I would be very good with that if we are close to the amount that Pumpkin head Watts alluded we would have to have

Me too, and my parents and brother in Somerville, AL tried to buy them as well, but the campaign was ditched before they could... So, that's a total of 6 season tickets if someone is counting.

Selling 4,500+ in less than 48 hours is promising.

But that is old news everyone already knows not any new information

+1 Can't justify taking off work for something like that.

Being real, any news that's positive is cool with me, but I can see how expectations are low considering hopes were up the last time big news was promised.

Has it occurred to you that there *must* be a reason that people keep saying that it would be worth attending, that it is important to have as many people as possible in attendance, but that they don't want to put it out there in the clear because it is well known that the other side's minions read this board?

So fine. Stay home. You can't justify the time for stale news.

My wife and I are going to be there. So are a lot of the faithful. We'll get the news first hand, and years from now we'll be able to say we were there when.

Just like when I was there at the NAS meeting Tuesday night, and after it was discussed they backed off the worst of the bylaw changes, because enough people raised hell about it.

I'll be at this meeting, and when Don Hire and Justin Craft stand up and tell us what's going on, I'll hear what they have to say.

Works for me.
