If only someone would post a picture of one so I knew what one looked like.

Here's one:

Found this thing on a UAB Masterplan... so maybe we are closer than we think.



I wonder if we can ever get enough corporate support for such a project.

Stars matter but some players get stars based on the prestige of schools that offered them. Zach Cunningham became a 4* player once he received an offer from Tennessee.

Wasn't Beas a 6-star?

I was under the impression that we had, over 19 of the state's largest corporations committed to buying luxury boxes, didn't they?

Yep. Trey Grissett lost "stars" after he committed to UAB instead of UF.

I say yes, but we that truly want to see this happen don't have any say in the matter.

Obviously we don't need one, we currently have home games, nor do we need to recruit better or build a fan base but they all would be greatly appreciated on my part.

The building across from the stadium next to the practice field and next to Wallace is possibly about to be built. It's no OCS, but it would be progress and would help with recruiting.

A football building with offices, meeting rooms, and locker rooms would be a big step forward.

What exactly is being built there? And what do you mean by possibly? Has it been approved/funded/etc. or not?

His rankings may be the most inaccurate in the history of recruiting in ANY sport..

See Blazertalk rules and regulations or ask a friend.
