No, can't do it

About 1/4 of USA's schedule involves teams with new coaching staffs so those opponents will be on a 'learning curve" too. Add to that the infusion of 3 out of UAB's 4 best QBs plus a few others, and they may have some real surprises in store for their opponents. I am looking forward to following USA in 2015 to see if our transfers have a great effect on their record. Sort of following UAB by proxy.

NO, it's not following UAB by proxy. You're following former players but I'm not following USA. Nothing against South Alabama, but don't try to spin it like USA just got a new fan base. As soon as those players are gone, it's USA again.
I wish our guys luck, but this season I have but one team, UAB, therefore I have none.

Looks like I will be following Jacksonville State this coming year.
Not because of any of this that is going on, just that it appears my daughter will be attending there in the fall.

This. This this this this this.

And further:

Yielding to temptation to follow some other team plays directly into the narrative of Watts and the Board: UAB doesn't need a football team, because other universities have football teams. To follow another school's team is to accept that Wattsolini ha Sempre Ragione. And I will never, ever forgive or forget what that purple-faced fascist piece of toad excrement did to my university. May he drink Drano for eternity in Hell.

It will certainly be strange for sure.
Looks like my daughter may also be playing in the band there.

Her dad will still be fighting for his alma mater though.
Looks like tomorrow night in Blountsville will be the next opportunity.

Well I'll be following them from afar as I've been doing due to my personal connection to the founding roots of that program since my main program no longer exists as I'd normally be tailgating/going to their games, I may make a trip or 2 back to Mobile some Saturdays this year.
