When you get the email that says "Week in Athletics", forward it to bmackin@uab.edu and rlwatts@uab.edu (copy president@uab.edu) and say, "If you kill football, take me off this list."

Doing it now!

Doing it tomorrow! I'll be giving them back their Gold Card, too.

I've had this very thought myself

This is how I replied to UAB Week in Athletics.

Quote:If you kill UAB football, please take me off this list.

Here is the response I received.

Probably automated since you said "please take me off this list" .

Yep. Either that or it confirms our worst case scenario.

Nah, it's just a computer-generated response. Right?

I responded that IF they terminate football, then take me off the list. I'm waiting for the responce myself. The responce they gave KevMo seems to tell me a decision has already been made.

I copied them.

No problem. It's easy to subscribe again, if I want to.

That was an automated response because he responded directly to the e-mail and didn't forward/respond to Watts/Mackin only.

Welp, it's official then.

That doesn't mean anything. Most mass email programs are configured to automatically unsubscribe a recipient based on keywords. There is no human reading responses to a mass mailing, manually unsubscribing folks, and writing them a response.

I did not hit reply. I forwarded mine to M & W.

I already am going by the ticket office Wednesday and talking to someone when I purchase my USM tickets.

I forwarded as well...

If you kill the football program, or stand back and allow it to be killed, I am completely done with UAB as whole. I will not donate a penny. I will no longer purchase season tickets to any sport, including the 4 basketball seats and 2 baseball seats I currently have purchased for numerous years. I will make every attempt to influence potential UAB students to other universities. This isn’t about football, this is about integrity and transparency in a publicly funded state university.

Respectfully,

I got one of those emails from the office of giving about estate planning. I forwarded it to the president and the AD saying there could not have been a more ill timed email in the history of email

Well said.

That's funny, nowhere in "This week in UAB Athletics" did I read "Another attempt to close the UAB Football program was exposed this week..."
