Coming from a guy who was 20, the first day Gene stepped on board to lead UAB Athletics, please lay Fire Ray Watts chant to rest and lets get on with mission. UAB Football is going "big time", now. This is going to be a great season for UAB Football, as well as for all of UAB Athletics. "Sis-Boom-Bah".

Good post. If the BOT were to get rid of Watts, then they would replace him with someone more competent in accomplishing the goals they gave him.
The UA System BOT is just like any other 17 member "team" in that its personnel make up will change & has changed over time. How will it look over the next 10 years? It can be expected to continue to favor the Crimson campus, but we can have a lot of hope that that will not translate into being antiBlazer as it largely was since 1969, especially in revenue sports.
I'll never forget Ray Watts role. I'll never believe he's the best president for us. With that stated. BOT reform is the drum we should NEVER stop beating. With all the turmoil around Bentley, I'm hoping the BOT's money line to Bentley is exposed. Would be perfect time for us to jump on reform band wagon again.

I hope Gerald Everette compiles many happy NFL memories. But like me, I'm sure he will never forget December 2nd.
Every time I watch this video... It's not just what he did. But the manner in which he did it. And he has yet to admit error in judgment or bad information. He should be fired. Not for getting rid of football, that's within the rights of a President, but he did it under the cloak of lies, false reports, and misleading many people. That is reason enough to continue to push to FIRE RAY WATTS. His integrity is shot, which is no place for a university president.
Look everyone is moving forward and supporting the program. That said the war is far from over and we need to remain vigilant and be ready to rise up again when we are asked. I know the ones saying FRW are fully supporting the program. Some till it hurts financially.
