Most fans did not expect UAB to be all that competitive, let alone go to a bowl this year. Very likely they will and that's an amazing feat. Conference championship is still a possibility also. UAB needs to lock in their coach for long term.

Not so sure about the fans expectation part. Most I talked to prior to season were expecting/hoping 6-6 & Bowl. Even our dufus of a president verbally said prior to the season he expected the team to be in a Bowl game. Most of the fans were called crazy and unrealistic, especially by other fans on this board. I do agree though, the level of success has surprised most. Most thought we could squeeze 6-6, very few thought anything more was possible. It’s still early, but you can’t find a fan base happier to be at 4-2 than UAB’s.

I guess I wasn't clear but I meant fans in general, especially on this board, had much lower expectations for UAB's 1st year back. Good luck going forward.
