Greetings and best wishes, Bulldog fans. I am preparing to host a sports talk show on an internet-only radio station that will focus mostly on items of interest to Conference USA (of course, we'll mix things up some), the show is entitled "Unleash The Dragon", airing at WBLZ - Blazeradio (http://www.blazeradio.org) on the campus of UAB, the target date is Friday, February 1 at 12 noon central time.

Would love for all of you to be able to log on and join the conversation by phone or Twitter (@BlazeRadio and/or @AlbertPride2), as we endeavor to make Conference USA and its' representatives more mainstream, we'll ask about your teams, coaches players, fan base, etc. I am also very, very interested in learning why Louisiana Tech didn't get a bowl bid with that outstanding record they had in football last season, and we'd love to provide a radio forum for you all to share your thoughts on that. Please feel free to tender any questions for me here or by PM...Thank you again for your indulgence, and best of fortune to your beloved Bulldogs..Welcome to Conference USA. I am particularly glad that Louisiana Tech is going to be a member, and I will elaborate on that if and when the show airs.
