It’s a stupid poll, too.

Better than all of those stupid pols arguing about how to run the country.

Just got to have thick skin and consider that it is all friendly banter.

How could you condone the oppressive and ruthless behavior of such insouciant band students who openly and unnecessarily defile the feelings and self-worth of student-athletes and their fans. You sir are part of the problem!

Insouciant for the win

Doesn't help that we're laying an egg for the second straight week, as we let Rice take the first two last week, and now let UAB take the first two this week.

I'm pretty sure the announcers for the C-USA TV games are just the home announcer. I assume the game is at UAB? Also, CUSA TV is in no way a "national audience".

I don't mean national in the sense that you probably think I do. When UAB plays UTSA, UTSA and UAB fans might be watching, and it could be from almost anywhere in the nation, because while most of UTSA's alumni are in Texas and most of UAB's are likely in Alabama, they're still spread among other places as well, and some of the loyal alumni living in other states often have little to no chance of watching games except on C-USA TV. When UAB plays Marshall, LA Tech, or anyone else in our 14-school conference spread out among 10 states, there could likewise be students or alumni listening from all sorts of places. Mind you, I'm sure it's a small number who tune in to C-USA TV, but I wouldn't doubt that they still cover a pretty decent number of states.

oatm says owl nation now broadens its appeal beyond those not 100% compliant with grammatical morès.

It is a stupid pole, by the way, why did they put it in the middle of the freakin end zone.
At least they padded it.

It’s a bigoted fallacy. Poles are not stupid.
