It's always possible that a disc jockey will know before the dozens of admins and staff who help us behind the scenes.
correct.

That said I hope folks come to my CELEBRATION June 6.

I'm not saying what I will be celebrating.

June 6, 1991 - NBC announces Jay Leno will replace Johnny Carson
June 6, 1971 - Willie Mays hits record 22nd & last extra inning HR
June 6, 1966 - NFL & AFL announce their merger

idk AB... so many things to celebrate

Take this rumor with a grain of salt by if true what's the deal? The decision to end UAB football was claimed by both Watts and BOT to be Watts decision. Now Watts may apparently be saying the final decision lies with BOT??

Tony Kurre ‏@Tonethebone37
...Trusted source"Watts has been swayed to recommend bringing football back to UAB but it will have to go thru BOT first". More details shortly
...Source-Watts will meet with BOT this weekend with recommendation to bring back football-BOT must approve-find out Monday @free_UAB

Kurre has been pro-UAB football from the beginning. It's no big surprise that he would leak this news, which is another chess move by #FreeUAB.

With the backwards slack jaws we had to deal with that kept saying "well ya got UT and Va. Tech" to the excuse makers that ran our institution, we continued to fight on multiple fronts. We had very diplomatic folks (like Dr. Jerry Robertson, former falcons coach Mike Smith, and various others) to us message board folks who continued to Question budgets, intellect, competency, and everything we could. It took 12 years with minimal resources and a city that didnt care. You guys have a city behind you, a huge alumni base, and overall more resources.
You will win, it may not be today, or even next week. But if you fight for it, you'll win.
Ray Watts legacy is this. Any good he might have done is gone. Our former president (Paul Stanton) was a brilliant heart surgeon who saw a college of pharmacy and digital media start up. He oversaw new dorms, a beautiful library, Center for Physical Activity, and many other great things. Hes known for killing football, and nobody likes him.
Stay hungry. You'll get it back.

Thanks for that. Very encouraging from someone who's been there. I just became a Bucs fan!
Me too!

RE: Tony Kurre: Decision Will Be Made Today
I'm shocked they'd wait until Monday. If they're going to kill it for what they think is permanently, send the release out at 4:45 today. It makes it really tough to get into the news cycle, and nobody is paying attention. If you wait until Monday, everyone will be watching. Plus everyone is harumphing today about FIFA re electing that crook, so that should dominate the national sports cycle along with SEC Meetings in San Destin. If they're PR people are worth a flip that's what happens.
So if they're killing it, hope they wait until Monday. They're foolish if they do, and if they do, I really hope C-USA as a gesture of kindness keeps you guys and just expands.

And when the French urged the US Marines to retreat, they responded, "Retreat? Hell, we just got here." The Marines held ground and repelled the continuous German assaults.

My grandfather was in France in the Great War, with a Springfield 03 rifle. The trenches.
