The unofficial online home for fans of the UAB Blazers. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

Got the email a few minutes ago.
Got the regular like Southern Miss, Georgia /and Marshall.

I went to the C-USA championship in Huntington and really enjoyed the town.
Except for the below freezing temperature for the game, was treated real nice by their fans. And the drive up there was no really that bad. All interstate except a small patch around Lexington.

Same. I ordered a couple Marshall tickets and went ahead and grabbed a room between Lexington and Huntington, just to break up the drive a little. We'll head up there Friday afternoon and head home Sunday. Thankfully Kentucky is on the road at Vandy that weekend, so room availability isn't an issue.
I may still grab some of the Georgia tickets, but they'll probably put us in the upper section of the upper deck, and we'll cook in September. I've been to SoMiss numerous times, but may do that one again. May also do Tulane, as I've only been to the Superdome to watch UAB play them when we were both in CUSA.

I’m going to get Marshall and UGA tickets in the next couple days. Any idea where the UGA seats might be? I assume nosebleeds?

I was assuming Georgia would be like Tennessee in 2019 with us having corner end zone seats. Bought 6.

Edit found the below about UGA:
“Sections 101-103, 144, and the entire 600 level (sections 601-611) are the designated visiting team sections at Sanford Stadium. Be aware that the visiting teams sit in the front half (rows 1-30) of sections 101-103.”

I will be buying So Miss tickets in a couple of days and possibly Tulane or North Texas. I want to go to UTSA since it is the weekend before Thanksgiving if I can talk my wife into it.

I've been to games at Marshall a couple of times. Both times, fans invited me to join their tailgate.

Don't know if I will be able to make any of the road trips this year but hoping to at least go to Hattiesburg.

We're heading to the pseudo road game with JSU with 10 in tow, Tulane with 4, and Southern Miss 5.

Wear a hat and sunscreen. It's hotter than hell that time of year, the visiting seats are in full sun, and it starts at 2:30. We roasted last time UAB played in Athens.

I'm thinking the UGA game will be an inferno and the Tulane game could be a steambath.

Sunscreen and beverages for everyone!

I am sure that it is just me-- but I dislike New Orleans. I do not like anything about it. No disrespect to the Green Wave but I have always hated going to NO -- its just seems dirty to me. Now trying to talk the lady into North Texas. It look like it will not happen. And your right the Georgia game maybe a sweat fest. I will never forget the Tennessee game one year when it was to hot to go to the concession stand.

I'll just stick to home games (up in the air about Montgomery)

If you don’t like the food and music in New Orleans their is something wrong with you. Also New Orleans does not seem dirty, New Orleans IS dirty!

If you don't do the normal touristy things than NO is not that bad. Lots of history, food, and other things to do that do not include Bourbon St and the French Quarter

If the weather was nice when I went to the New Orleans Bowl
