1. We have played Columbus State University before!!!!
Columbus State was called Columbus College until 1996. UAB played them on December 14, 1982 and won 56-42.

2. November 8 is the earliest a regular season game has ever been played, beating last year's record of 11/10 against Young Harris. I wonder when we play our first pre-Halloween game.

3. All time records
Columbus State - 1-0
Rutgers 0-1
Troy 6-0
Florida A&M 5-0
North Carolina - 0-3
Northeastern 1-0
Georgia Southern 6-1
Chattanooga 9-2
LSU 1-1
Alabama A&M 8-0
Newberry - never played

Record against opponents (minus tournament) 39-8

(Charleston tournament possible opponents)
Clemson 2-1
Davidson - never played
Georgia - 1-3
Nebraska - 2-2
New Mexico - Never played
Temple - 1-2
UMass - 1-0

4. Any idea who our first game in the Charleston tournament will be?

5. Newberry College has 1014 students and is a Lutheran affilliated school in South Carolina.

One more observation:

Huge Thanksgiving weekend!
Thursday - Turkey day
Friday - Black Friday
Saturday - last football game of the year vs. Southern Miss
Sunday - basketball vs. North Carolina

Hopefully football will still be relevant by the last game.

Birmingham Stallion linebacker (#55) Herb "Wild Man" Spencer is a Newberry alum.

So is Lee Atwater, campaign manager for George Bush I

2012-13 records of our D1 opponents:
Rutgers 15-16
Troy - 12-21
Florida A&M - 8-23
North Carolina - 25-11
Northeastern - 20-13
Georgia Southern - 14-19
Chattanooga - 13-19
LSU - 19-12
Alabama A&M - 11-20

So, three teams with winning seasons and after that, pretty bad

He shares a surname with a guy who made on of the biggest plays in UAB football history.



Just bringing it around.

I wish I had a Squeaky cutout to take to the LSU game.

He also played with Joe Cribbs, the new concept carwash guy & former UAB assistant coach.

Bringing it around too boss.
