This is the kind of exposure that makes an at large much more likely, despite the fact that nobody will ever admit it. UAB/Jelly are both all over the place in the preseason, and that is going to go a long way come Selection Sunday, provided we don't have an abysmal season.

The hobbit is spot on.

Everyone else on here will just say UAB will never, ever get an at large because of a vast, nefarious, underworld conspiracy theory.

The fact is, UAB has not deserved an at large for the last decade based on resume. If we have an at-large worthy resume, coupled with the exposure we get from Jelly/AK/being a popular "mid major" team, we will get in.

This team should have the mindset of at large or bust. We are good enough, and should not expect or accept less.

Let North Texas have that mindset. We're not losing to any of the hot garbage that is CUSA.

I didn't say we shouldn't aim to do both...

We should win CUSA AND have an at large worthy resume.

We did multiple times last year. We shouldn't have to win the CUSA tournament to get into the Big Dance is what we should expect.

We will lose a couple of road conference games if the scheduling is the same.

We will storm their tumbledown high school gyms and devastate their programs. Bob the retired janitor who maintains their arena will be reduced to taping a "1" next to the Visiting Team score. They may slink back to their dorms at halftime. We will see them run before us, and hear the lamentations of their men (their women are, in general, made of sterner stuff, but Randy Norton has recruited so well that we may hear their women lamentate too, on alternate game days because lazy-ass CUSA scheduling is still for ****).

We have Jelly and Da Goat. We have the Brewer Brothers, soon to be trademarked as the Cahaba Brewer Brothers via an NIL deal. We have five playable bigs. We even finally have a walkon who skips the doughnut counter.

Gene is back, and he's bald.
