Yeah it's hilarious. Alabama athletics floats bonds for their facilities.

I imagine our next president will. If the BoT allows it.

So...I went to watch the press conference again and found the Questions and Answers portion of the session had been "edited" out of the video.

The first one that Clark said he wanted/needed was already met last year by a donor so assume it'll happen again barring BOT permission problems again.

You're correct, but the more I think on this aspect, the more excited I become.

In essence, the university president and the athletic director this afternoon ceded the football program's destiny to us. That has enormous possibilities.

INVOKE PSALM 109 ON WATTS AND THE EVIL BOT DAILY AND FREEUAB!
ONE CAN PUT A THOUSAND TO FLIGHT....YES YOU CAN FREE UAB!

So even though we have football back, you are still praying that he dies and his offspring is childish. Doesn't seem to be the right thing to do. I'll just stick to praying that he becomes a better person.

GOOD LUCK...I FEEL IT'LL BE AN IMPROVEMENT EITHER WAY!
AND I DO FEEL A TAD LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE NOW MY DISCONTINUED FAVORITE IS ON ITS
WAY BACK!

Maybe his body guard b/c he knows he has job security?

That was John Knox. You missed the fine print "Subject to terms and conditions".

I was out on the sidewalk outside the admin building watching FOX6's feed. It was much more festive out there than it must have been in that room. We were yukking it up at Punkin Head's expense pretty good.

As someone who does a lot of public speaking, when will these ijits learn to take drink of water before marching to the podium? You know you are about to get on stage and speak and don't you know that you are going to want to have a clear throat before you get up there? Watts immediately pulled a UAB Styrofoam cup (not a water bottle this time) and took a big slurp and then AD Ingram walked up and threw back a Dasani bottle like he was taking shots. It looks really unprofessional and silly to be slurping down drinks as soon as you get on camera. This is an extremely minute point, but it still irks me every time

Watts is a jackhole. This guy did everything possible today to make the return of football feel like a defeat. The name Ray Watts will live in infamy for years and years in this town. I hope the sad little coward will be thinking about us on his dying day.

What a performance by Ray Ray. That ending was classic. What a complete tool.

At least the blue water bottle was replaced by a nondescript styrofoam cup.
