If FBHC Clark gets until 2016 to put a new team together, I would bet it will do no worse than his last UAB team. He has demonstrated an ability to bring in JUCOs from all over the U.S. and get some talented high school kids to join them. To borrow a line from my football past, "He ain't nothing but a winner", and I don't expect that to change unless prevented by some leadership manipulations.

Besides, To my knowledge, the only state university team to lose all of a season's games is the one in Tuscaloosa - a part of a 20 game losing streak over 3 seasons that got their coach fired in 1957. UAB has NEVER had that bad a season. A coach named Bryant was hired to replace him for 1958.

UAT went 20 game without a win in that era, but 2 of the games were ties, so they went 0-18-2 over the span.

Quote:A coach named Bryant was hired to replace him for 1958.

I have tried to find some $$$-details of Bryant's contract for 1958 but never have been able to find them. If anyone knows or has a link, much appreciated...

He has been frank and honest and answered most questions when asked, but not in a controversial or inflammatory way. He has just been relatively outspoken compared to most people in the administration and the athletic department.

If only it had included a vasectomy ...

Haha!! This is kind of like my sign I wanted to make for the last BOT meeting... "UAB Would Still Have Football had Bear Bryant Pulled Out."

Bear vasectomy would have had to been in 1944 to avoid the PBJ scourge.

That's because he's not scared he'll lose his job like they are.

I'd imagine they'll edit the report over the weekend regardless of what they say to have it show what they want it to & that edited version will be called the "official" version since it'll be released by UAB as I'm sure CSS is under some nondisclosure agreement just like Carr was (you didn't ever hear of Carr commenting/standing up about the fallacy in their report even after it was torn apart). I just wonder if they'll use the same person who edited the Carr Excel document or did he take a How to use Excel class at UAB???

That'll be tougher to do since members of AATF have copies of it today.

There are at least four members of the AATF that will not let any funny stuff go on this weekend! If Watts comes out with a different version from the AATF, or if Smith changes colors again and sides with Watts, you'll know that Watts did something underhanded and a new battle will begin. It might even be "lawyer up" time if someone thinks they are being slandered by the other side.
