If we got up to Nashville and get beat something like 62-7, I might just stay up here in Nashville, and change my name to Nashville Blazer-lol........it's a nice town, folks! Birmingham officials could learn a lot from the way the city is run up here. Luckily, I think we will give Vandy a much better game than Troy did Mississippi State. Vandy is a better team than State too........or at worst, about the same. It's ashamed we didn't beat Troy....I still think we are around 7-10 points better than them.

We have also played LSU along with another state school having played them.

Using 1 game to determine how we may play in another game can be pointless.

Vandy also played UMass.

At least I'm in Nashville and going to the game.

By the way ?, you will never hear me criticizing a player or coach.

Some might say "I hope we don't get slaughtered" is a criticism of the players and coaches.

That's true, but in my case, it's fact. I hope we don't get slaughtered........and I don't think we will. But I didn't think Memphis would beat us 46-9 last year either. Ridiculously bad luck games can and do happen sometimes. Vandy is a very good team. If we play them close, it's should bode well for CUSA games.

Then there's this little nugget with a familiar line in it.

We won't beat Vandy........just hope we don't pull a 62-7 Troy vs Mississippi $tate. I've watched a lot of CUSA games this year, and we can compete with anybody in this conference. None of the teams (other than a couple of Marshall and ECU games) look any good at all.......saw MTSU get clobbered last night by a 1-2 BYU team.


I don't know if it's the same poster but the post does have the same tone and feel.

If you are this sensitive over my post, do yourself a favor, and do not read what will be written on here when the game starts.

I'll go ahead a say it. I hope we kick the **** out of Vandy.

BET: If we lose I will not point out or respond to your overly negative, talking out of both sides of your mouth, spreading a bad vibe posts.

When we win, you don't post your predictions of doom and gloom before a game EVER again... or you can simply go away.

That sounds fair enough to me.........and NEVER, EVER wish me to go away again! UAB is trying to build a fan base, no need trying to run off fans that actually support the program.

Glad you excepted the bet. If you are going to be overly negative about UAB, you can go away. We don't need players if they don't produce and we don't need fans if they are bringing down the program. Especially on that bama cesspool of a site al.com, their writers and posters do a good job of that, we aren't that desperate.

Drew Champlin is a great guy, and does a nice job. I still don't get why you are stalking me on a message board. I read overly negative stuff on here every day.......some of it even gets under my skin. Well, I'm off to lunch. Have a good one!

You are suffering from delusions of grandeur if you think I am stalking you. Drew Champlin doesn't equal al.com. It took a lot of resources, manpower, and several hour of research to connect the dots on your post on here and al.com.

Here: If we pull a Troy tonight (M. State 62, Troy 7) I might
Al.com: just hope we don't pull a 62-7 Troy vs Mississippi $tate

Most of here don't predict we lose, they especially don't go post negative comments about UAB on al.com. We are usually critiquing (after the game) and not predicting slaughters or loses before they happen.

This program needs everyone pulling in the same direction to get where we are going. We don't need coaches, players, or FANS who think they are bigger/better than the program.

I would add that sometimes when you cry wolf too many times & bark just to hear yourself speak, you lose credibility.

Again someone gets bashed for being realistic. It's not likely we will beat Vandy, but I sure as hell hope we do! What in the past 8 years or so has given any of you the confidence to be cocky or to run off posters who supports the program, but are just realistic?

You shouldn't be admonished simply because you admit the truth that its not likely that we will beat Vandy. It was also not likely that we'd beat LSU. Does that make us bad fans for thinking and admitting the truth?

62-7 realistic? We won't beat Vandy realistic?

Realistically we have as good of a chance to beat Vandy as they have of beating us, 50/50, that's why you play the games. Vandy has won some games over the last couple of years but a powerhouse they are not. I don't care that someone says they are fan, you guys probably need to look up the definition, if they are going to bash the program at every turn.

Two people who are always right, the person that says I can and the person that says I can't.
