This is one of the strangest things that I can remember in the collegiate sports world. I predict that it is going to be a very long and tortured path back to respectability and a decent record in C-USA. In fact, they were not very good before they dropped football.

The pledges might bring them back but are funneled into operations. The deep pockets for UAB athletics all tapped with no more available for facility improvements.

I think it's reasonable to expect that the road back for UAB will take awhile, too, even though they were not nearly as good as SMU was. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Recovering Journalist General User Member Since: 8/17/2010 Location: Cleveland, OH Post Count: 1,852 Status: Offline     RE: What a Cluster    Posted: 6/2/2015 9:43:12 AM  L.C. wrote: SMU had a very long road back, and still is not even close to where they were before their death penalty. I think it's reasonable to expect that the road back for UAB will take awhile, too, even though they were not nearly as good as SMU was. The NCAA gave SMU the death penalty. UAB put its own program in the electric chair, threw the switch, and stopped halfway into the electrocution. It's going to take a long, long time before recruits and their families will trust that UAB football will be around for the long haul.

UAB will be back to it's good old mediocre self in short order. Back to Top L.C.

How, then, do you explain the flowerhouses FAU and FIU, who were always at the top of the Bottom 10 for years? “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Showing Replies:   1 - 7  of 7 Posts Jump to Page:   1 View Other 'Ohio Football' Topics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               WHO'S ONLINE There are 187 Active Visitors on BobcatAttack.com 186 Guests 1 Registered User:   colobobcat66 There are no other users looking at this page.
