The most devastating injury to a UAB player I remember was Demario Eddins going down in January of 2006. It was devastating because UAB was entering conference schedule against the likes of Cincinnati, Memphis and Louisville. What was worse, Eddins had been playing
Fantastic and it was his senior year. He had a season ending and career ending injury.

Quincy Taylor????


Eddins injury really hurt too..

Totally agree that it was devastating. But Cincinnati and Louisville were out of C-USA by that time. That was the first year of the new C-USA.

Quincy Taylor was hurt at the end of C-USA regular season play. The article referenced injuries that happened earlier in the season.

You are right. I forgot that Andersons last year was 1st year of CUSA 2.0

It really is amazing how fortunate we have been as far as injuries go. Combination of luck, Lou, and Cory in my opinion.

George Wilkerson, Mo Finley.

Carlos Williams ripped his knee to shreds against Bama State.

That was horrific. Tore both ligaments, broke his leg above and below the knee. It was unbelievable that he walked without a limp, much less played again - and played well. Steve drove Carlos from Montgomery to UAB at Frenchy speed, and ever since I've been willing to forgive any stupid **** he says on radio call-ins.

I miss Carlos.

Prior to This year, Norton has missed one ga,e in each of his first two years due to injury.

Good research. I think Quincy Taylor missed the C-USA Tournament games because his knee injury came in final game of regular season at UCF in Mike Davis' last season. Could be wrong but that's how I remembered it. Of course, my old brain isn't what it used to be.
