Very fair article and surprisingly a good one (I'm not an expert on journalism so you may think otherwise).

Quote:The three-quarters of a million dollars - give or take a few thousand - that UAB received for making this little trip up I-59 to Knoxville on Saturday will go a long way toward helping the Blazers football program pay for itself.

But money is for administrators. Neil Callaway is a football coach. He didn't come here for the money. He didn't come here to play it safe. And he certainly wasn't interested in covering the point spread or playing for a "moral victory."

As crazy as it sounds, the UAB head coach brought the Blazers to Neyland Stadium to learn how to win.

That might have been the best column the Smelt has written about UAB in his life.

It's actually good and insightful.

Quote: He'll risk the embarrassment of fans looking at three lopsided scores and laughing because, believe it or not, Callaway actually thinks this team has a chance to win.

This year.

As the saying goes, a man's got to know his limitations. And Callaway does.

But nobody says he has to accept them.

Thanks for posting that. I missed it on the website. Good Job from Melick

I take back a lot of the bad things I've ever said about you, Ray.

Only for this week. He'll write something to piss UAB fans off again. You can count on it.

Go UAB!

Ray didn't do too bad, this time. But remember, it was only one article.
