I believe all of you that are quick to post comments deriding other writers for not talking UAB should equally post as many comments when a writer does so in a favorable light.
This was the first time in a long time that I actually enjoyed reading his work.
You're right. If they hear from us when they need their chops busted, they also need to hear from us when they get it right.
my problem with scabo is he only gets on the bandwagon after the fact.
if UAB received positive local press year round, what would our statewide perception and attendance numbers be?
many of our problems are self inflicted, but the local media 01-scout on us.
Exactly as I predicted last week, only off by five days.

UAB has had a very good basketball team all season long. Where was Kevin? Just like last year, he pulls away from Saban's Sainted Buttocks only when the season is on the verge of winding down. One column can't heal chronic lip-chappage.
uncanny similar posts, again.

I agree, but positive feedback when the blind squirrel finds that nut is both necessary and proper.

Which reminds me, I should fire off a congratulatory email to Paul Finebaum for consistently spelling his own name correctly.
It looked good until I got to the very end, and then, If Im reading it right,, it suggests that if we dont get in we shouldnt blame anybody but ourselves.. ( rather than stating that it would be a miscarriage of justice, or the like)...
If we beat Memphis, we're in. It is our fault we left it up to chance.

Props to the Scarb for writing a decently-researched article on the best basketball team in the state.

No, if you're referring to the last sentence, he's saying that if we go undefeated with just a loss to Memphis in the MT championship game and the selection committee still leaves us out, it will be hard for the committee to defend that decision.

+1 good post.
You know what I just thought about? UAB gave up 22 pts in the final 6 mins of the game against Memphis. Ouch!!!!!
It's the beginning of March. You can mark your calendar every year that he'll be "on our side" at this time. Like clockwork....
