RE: What's your prized UAB possession?
Mine would have to be my game used football helmets from 2014, but a close second/third would be my gene bartow psa certified auto and LSU 2000 program. I'm also a big football card collector so I have several rookie autos and cards from our players.

I have half a dozen of the new blaze bobble heads given out last football season I believe.
Never got one of the Snoozy's version of the blaze bobble head.

The ball D. Hackney threw into the stands after the coin toss of his last home game (if I hadn’t caught it, pretty sure it would’ve broken my friends nose).
Official helmet autographed by Watson (more prized bc of who gave it to me, not bc of who signed it)

The most striking possession I have...pool table with the big dragon head UAB logo on the front
What’s the story behind Hack throwing a ball into the stands following the coin toss?
Nothing exciting about the story, really. He carried a ball with him out to midfield. After the coin toss, he took a couple steps towards the sideline, pointed up into the stands, and unloaded his cannon.
I think relatively few people even realized he threw it (I mean, who really watches the players walk away after the toss), including the friend next to me, who would’ve taken the ball right to the head if I hadn’t caught it.
D Hack later signed it for me

I've got an "LS Who?" shirt I bought at Blazer Village the Saturday after we beat them, as well as a 58-56 shirt. Tons of autographed posters and media guides.

RE: What's your prized UAB possession?
I am pretty sure that I possess the only Derrick "Pookie" Bentley jersey in existence.
I have a few other cool things too. My favorite would have to be my jersey from the very first UAB baseball season.
JBall, where did you get that Great Alaska Shootout belt buckle? (I have one of those too.)

You ought to get Saban to sign that shirt. He might if his wounds from that loss have healed.

RE: What's your prized UAB possession?
Missing two extreme pieces, one is a UAB old School hat, you know the one that had UAB and Birmingham Blazers underneath The UAB on it, Lost it at Lake Eufaula, and a Blazer Football. Two of the ones, I'm missing. Sure, I can come up with a few more missing artifacts as I think about it.
