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

The only thing that really made me cringe was when the Blazer fan they were interviewing said something about just wanting to be the "Medical School" football team. Can't blame her too much though. No telling what would come out of my mouth if I was on camera.

They don't want to interview any of us. It would not be the typical response they want.

They also have a poll up regarding UAB Football.

We should probably start blowing it up:

I saw that clip of her, too. She was fine, otherwise. I wish I could have taken a run at this, though. Oh, well. I did email the guy (Jeff Eliasoph) about 20 minutes ago about his report.

They did actually have some fans, actual UAB alum and students that spoke highly of the program and even stated that we aren't trying to compete with AU or ua. We just want to be competitive on the same level of our peers. It didn't leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling but I didn't want to kick the screen either.

Best assessment I've read of that report thus far. The reporter's email address, is jeffeliasoph@wvtm.com, & yes, I took a run at him moments ago. Don't worry, I was civil ...

Two down (NBC-13 & Fox 6), two to go (ABC 33/40 and CBS 42)....Guessing we'll get to grade each one before next season, eh?

Offered up my opinion(s) on the topic he presented on TV last night.
