Thanks Pal, I Agree, Content is meaning, My Friend. ./ (Still, Have my grammar book (from College), It's in storage, waiting to get it back out but really appreciate it. Is I ever lower case, think when its used in a word it is, but used alone its upper case. Just the same, Thanks Bud, I still like our Team. Made a few quick edits - it might not flow the same but might be more understandable.

Didn't really work. Try writing in at least semi-coherent sentences and using periods. Also, break up your huge blocks of text. Those are a couple of good places to start.

And despite any misplaced optimism you may have, this team is a dumpster fire right now.

+1

The team is hot garbage, dont care much bout tha grammer school.

This statement isn't meant to be dragging anyone, its is meant to encourage the fans of UAB. We as fans cannot depend on the sometime, special promotional, bandwagon, big game at the Bart fan to help pull this team thru the finish line. I am disappointed in the way we are playing as I imagine we all are, but it is what it is at this point...the rest of the games will play their way out, so lets be the best fans we can be the rest of the season, because the team needs us to be there for them. The team needs us especially when-they are going through a rough time and this is a rough time, but its similar to 2 years ago eerily similar.
This team needs a big win badly or just a win, Middle Tenn provides that opportunity for this team to gain some of their swag back. This team looks like it has no confidence in their offense, defense or each other. We as fans need to let them know we have their backs.
We have seniors to thank for giving the team and fans everything they had to give, the many high and low moments were all emotionally draining, that's what being a fan feels like, we lose and win together. Yes we can fight among ourselves but , ODU, La tech, UTEP and Mid Tenn, dont get it distorted we are still BLAZERS and we the fans will be there cheering and pulling for our BLAZERS.
To the UAB fans THE TEAM NEEDS TO KNOW WE THE FANS HAVE THEIR BACKS.We still have some games to play and all of them are BIG GAMES..
GO BLAZERS, rebounder2u

Agree Rebounder. I'll be at all the remaining games through the tournament. Who else will be and who will be "fairweather"?????

This isn't that similar to two years ago at all. We are getting markedly worse as the season goes on. That's the opposite of what happened two years ago.

If we win the first day of the CUSA tournament I'll try to make it down. I live out of town, so it's hard to make it down the first couple of days of the tournament.

I'll attend this weekend but probably won't in the tournament unless we make the semi-finals.

Yeah there's no comparison between this team and the team two years ago and I've been saying that since our early season struggles. The team two years ago was one of the youngest teams in college basketball that year. It took them time to grow and develop chemistry, which they did and manged to improve as the season progressed. If anything this team is the exact opposite. A veteran team who has zero chemistry and has regressed as the season goes along. The team from two years ago would destroy this team. Hell, the team from December would destroy this team and it's not even like we were that good then.

We score 60 points on average, our opponents score 75.

Done.

Heck when your out coached on the court (not out $$recruited$$) by Rick $tan$berry.

Your DONE

Yeah, not convinced Ehsan can coach. Can't remember the last time we had a loss streak this bad considering the quality of the opponents we are losing by double digits to

Similar as far as record standing in conference, position going into last games turnament, outlook and fan whinning

yep

Who likes .500 basketball? Hell they started winning at this time that year. This year this point i hope we get back to the win/loss pattern from the start of the season.

It's Coach Robs first year as a head coach at a big time basketball school, a year can do great things for you. I would lay back concern until next year. Do you know how many coaches would love an opp to take this program. This is big boy basketball. Would you like Bartow Jr. to come Back he's at South Florida and not doing so, well not so good. He Did at East though.

I believe Smallwood was only granted 4 years to play 4 by the NCAA so redshirting is not an option.

Makes it hard for him to transfer, i hate we wasting his talents.

Those stats are incorrect. We average 72. The opponents average 70.

It's not the same at all. We STARTED WINNING consistently when we got into the conference schedule two years ago. We had a decent win streak to start our conference slate this season, but have since hit a tailspin that we've yet to recover from. That team started Poorly (due to obvious circumstances) and ended on a very high note. This team is going in a completely opposite direction. The experience level of the players is night and day compared between the two teams. It's OBVIOUSLY very different. Saying otherwise is just grasping at straws trying to find some optimism.

Hell, who knows. We may end up having a good season by the time the season is done with - comparable to two years ago. However, the two teams trajectories and experience levels are polar opposites.

You can't bail on ehsan after one year. That would be shortsighted and premature. However, I firmly believe the truly good ones show you something in year one - no matter the circumstances. This year has been a disaster. While I'm not giving up on him, my confidence is really low. Please show us something to end the season, PLEASE
