Ray Watts sucks. We got it. Can we move on from constantly talking about the past and what happened. Not every thread needs to be derailed by it.

Man, I'm REAAAALLLYYY liking this guy... I'm a storyteller and this guy is a storyteller...

You want to live in fairyland and pretend the past never happened, that's your privilege.

Ray Watts caused senseless pain and destruction, and he will never, ever deserve a pass for that. Bill Clark dragged us out of that wreckage. But someone else needed to take us beyond that.

We just might be watching that man. If the Sturgeon Rule holds and 90 percent of this is ********, that last 10 percent might just get us there.

He is a grand slam, eager to see his staff

He is winning the press conference

Shut up, Goodman. What an amazingly stupid question.

No. It happened. I remember it well. UAB football was trash at the time and Watts and the BOT scrapped it. Those days have passed. Time to move on.

I keep trying to tell him, but he doesn't listen to me either. The axe has been ground to the nub, but he keeps grinding.

"Is this just crazy, or what?"

Good God, he's an embarrassment to UAB.

As for Dilfer . . . we've never had anyone with media skills at this level. If he's even half-assed coaching football, we can fill Protective just on his charisma.

And Ray Watts remains one of the worst humans I have ever met.

An absolute homerun of a press conference. I'm all in for this guy.

Always thought Dilfer was good on ESPN. I assumed he would come off well in this press conference and he did. Now the real work begins for him.

I honestly feel most players will return as they prepare for bowl game and are around him

The press conference was a grand slam! Wow!

I said I was going to quadruple my annual donation after the hire. Now I may increase it tenfold after the press conference. LFG.

Off the cuff. No notes. No Bear Brahnt mumbles.

It is hard to speak like that just extemporaneously.

We have found our ambassador.

Agree. Unprecedented to have great speakers as coaches in both our two big sports.

Also agree about Goodman. What a dumb **** question. A true PUTZ.
