Great article by Pete Thamel. Quote from Finebaum:

Quote:When ESPN host Paul Finebaum drove by the stadium on a recent visit to downtown Birmingham, he was awestruck by the stadium. He hosted his show for decades in Birmingham and understands the passion there for college football.

“I couldn’t believe my eyes that UAB finally had a stadium of its own, and it was the crown jewel of the downtown area,” Finebaum said. “In the history of sports in Alabama, this may be one of the greatest stories ever. ... It’s beyond words.”

Back from the dead, it’s possible UAB now has upward mobility. It's hard to overstate how important it is for UAB to win big this year amid the tumult of conference expansion.

Nice story. It popped up on my news feed.

Very nice article. Nicely sums up what many of us have been saying about the momentum/rise of the program and being attractive for a conference upgrade. Seems like we're getting more consistent national coverage these days.

It also seems like we're getting called Alabama-Birmingham much less often now.

We're getting love from a lot of different directions.

A little weird, but I like it.

Now all we have to do is not flub it on national TV like normally happens.

Defeat the teams we should.
Hang in there or beat the teams we aren't expected too.
Win another conference title to complete the three headed dragon and then we'll definitely get some shine
