Errrrbody wants to play in Bham these days.
If only there were a basketball team in Birmingham they could play.
If Ray is still around at least we know where he will be that night.

Maybe Samford is booked that day.
I love how the story is written from a college football frame of mind.
Should be a fun game. Oregon will wipe the floor with them.
When an intruder comes into your neighborhood, you should care.
While their team is in the neighborhood, perhaps Oregon would like to work in a second B'ham game?
What if UAB fans bought a lot of the tickets so Bama turned out to be the "visiting team"? We can wear green and gold too.
It appears that both AU and UA are making the B'ham metro area a priority location to establish presence. Bama, as usual for their programs, is always sending Alabama money to other states' schools. I guess Phil Knight's teams need the income. The article doesn't mention how much Bama is paying out to Oregon to come here.
It's also an rpi game. It's a neutral site, even though it is anything but neutral in reality.

Thank you!!
We might need to schedule a couple of big games at Legacy Arena. Get a tournament started, something! I know everyone loves Bartow Arena but make both like home
Legacy Arena is a crap hole IMO.

I had a hell of a time there back in March. I think they did a good job with the renovations.
With that being said, Bartow is miles better.

Nah, he'll still be in Park Slope, with Ravi the housekeeper feeding him leftover birthday cake.

The tournament changed my opinion, but still I much prefer Bartow, too.
I guess it's nice that they were able to land a big game with Oregon, but it's pretty likely they'll get rolled.
I wonder if Johnson got this scheduled or if it was "above his pay grade" as well???
This is in response to Pearl scheduling games in Birmingham.

So what does UAB do to respond to both schools playing in Bham, to show it's a big time program.
