BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - The 2017 UAB football season kicks off in less than 70 days and in anticipation of the historic return, UAB football players, spirit team members and Blaze will load a UAB bus and travel to businesses in the Birmingham area on Saturday, July 1 for a second Decal Drive.

Twenty-five fans will have the opportunity to help distribute and apply 2017 window stickers to local businesses. The decals are a symbol of the community support for the upcoming season and a great way for local businesses to get behind the Blazers.

Fans will gather on campus Saturday at 8:30 a.m., load the bus and return to the campus at noon. Each fan that attends the Decal Drive will receive special UAB giveaways.

“We had such a wonderful experience with our first Decal Drive in the spring and wanted to offer another opportunity for our fans to join us as we spread the excitement of the return of UAB football,” said UAB Director of Athletics Mark Ingram. “This is an exciting time for us and the city of Birmingham.”

To secure a spot on the Decal Drive bus and general information on the event, email Erin Kraebber at ekraeb@uab.edu. More details will be sent to the fans.

If you are media interested in covering the Decal Drive prior to the event or on the day of the event, contact Ted Feeley at tfeeley@uab.edu or Heather Jeffcoat with Burton Advertising at 205-515-1972 or by emailing hjeffcoat@burtonadvertising.com.

On a slightly related note, I noticed that the Piggly Wiggly on Hwy. 31 in Homewood is accepting Blazer bucks now.

I noticed that Legacy Credit Union has a countdown to UAB Football on their electronic banking home page.

Thanks, y'all, for your support!
