And it would have been great to see a reporter ask Watts how much he and the board contributed to the campaign.

What Watts says about football is not as important as what the next president will say about football.

This. Although my bet is that the "no bonds for construction" came from the BoT, not Watts.

What do you guys think about a special jersey that just says Magic City across the front for basketball?

Snoozy's has the Birmingham basketball jerseys available to purchase now.

Probably true. But the east side will also be happy with the 15 million "cap" which apparently includes bond payments/guarantees by what they perceive as their research money being used for athletics. This cap could easily out last the fat short timer and they could impose on next President.

The "No Bonds" edict cuts both ways. Now U@B shouldn't have to ask the BOT for permission to build a stadium either.

At a the end of Star Wars IV, there was a big celebration of the destruction of the Death Star, but Darth Vader was still around.
