Not only can they not tackle, they have some thugs on the team as well.

That last drive in the second half in which we had three personal fouls in four plays and Marshall got a personal foul for reacting to a cheap shot by a UAB player made me ashamed to be a UAB fan.

I don't care if it hurts the team or not. There should be some suspensions for the next game.

I have been embarrassed by the Blazers plenty of times for their performance, but I have never been embarrassed for the lack of class shown by the defense tonight.

In my opinion, they are a reflection of their coordinator. There is no discipline and when things get tough, they bring out the cheap shots.

After that second quarter, I didn't really care who won. I was too disgusted by the behavior of our team.

I don't like this football team very much. Thank goodness the season is half over.

Memphis, I would have to agree with you, however, I haven't looked at the stats on paper yet, just kidding.
I did see shades of the Miami Hurricanes of old, which I do not like.
It does reflect the style of play by the coordinator mixed in with a touch of frustration. 03-pissed

Memphis- I agree

There is no need for bad sportsmanship. A few of the guys lacked character tonight.

The defense continues to be a huge disappointment.

We've had some bad losses, but this was one of, if not the, most shameful.

The performance of the defense was bad enough, but their behavior was reprehensible.

I agree MB, I was truly ashamed by our team's lack of class on the field. Apparently, it was the players who were listening to 50 cent this week instead of Watson.

MB, for once I disagree. One of those personal fouls was a facemask and another was hitting the QB in the head, both of those things happen sometimes in a physical game.

As for the personal foul on Evans (I think thats who it was), it was stupid, but he barely touched the guy. The flag was thrown by an official 20 yards away, and only after their player fell down and rolled around like he was hurt. As soon as the flag was thrown, he jumped up and walked off the field.

I can't speak about what went on after the interception, it was all the way acroos the field from me.

While I think we should have done a better job of keeping our composure in a very intense, physical game, I didn't see anything to be ashamed of. Just my $ .02.

being undisciplined means only ONE thing.
Wayne Bolt has done NOTHING to coach them properly.
