Dan's good people and a former football staffer who covers UAB often, give him some love.

I think we were picked 130th on our return when this game was set?
We all knew that was lazy reporting to list us there.
UTK did not do their homework if they wanted a body bag game.
I hope we nail our field goals this year!

TN is still SEC last time I checked, and UAB is still C-USA. So, although a Blazer Fan I would go with Tn. I have more interest if the Blazers can play with Old Dominion and LA Tech and Southern and South they will, be ready will the Blazers be ready, to Claim their name.

in hindsight, its really easy for us Blazer fans to say "we knew we'd be really good"--but a couple summers ago, it made no sense to pick anybody other than UAB as the worst team in the country.
The fact that UTK thought this was a body bag game when they scheduled it has nothing to do with a lack of homework. It just means that "they didnt know what they didnt know"

We don’t know what we don’t know.
That is brilliant!

I remember there being some no calls on pass interference before halftime that led to a punt. Yet, they called us for it on a weak call that led to A&M going up 24-7 on the previous drive. It’s pathetic how imbalanced the calls are and how they allow physicality from the p5 schools but drop a dozen flags for the G5 breathing in a particular direction.

The officiating witness is quite disturbing and that’s why the best chance to beat P5s is bowl games when you get officials from other leagues.

Sad part is when you play them they make almost no attempt to hide it and the media for the most part looks the other way.

Turnovers killed us too, but yeah, that game was much closer than the final score indicated.
