I wish we could get Auburn to agree to another matchup. We could play the game as a "home" game and split the tickets with the Aubies. Of course, they would buy our extra tickets and make it more of a 70/30 "home" game for them, but we would get the attendance boost from having 70,000+ at a game. We bend over and take it, and Birmingham area Aubies can come out to support not just their team, but ours indirectly.

Unfortunately, I know it won't ever happen, but it sounds good on paper.

If we are going to play a I-AA team (FCS) then I would rather play Alabama State and Alabama A&M because quite frankly their fan bases are much, much larger than Samford's and their bands are a hell of allot better. Next in line would be JSU, (Hats off to the Gamecock Band), then Samford.

To hell with UAT & Auburn. If they want to play, there is a two for one waiting or tell them to shove it up their anus.

I would much rather tailgate with the fans in Knoxville, Baton Rouge, Starkville, Oxford, & Columbia than set one foot in that toilet known as Tuscalooser and have to put up with the worst fan base on the planet.

F-them and feed them a fish head..........

You are so kind to them

First of all I-A teams do not go on the road to I-AA teams. You pay the I-AA team a game guarantee for them to come to your place.

Second, logistically it would be impossible as Sibert Stadium is just too small to handle even one of our smallest crowds much less a descent sized one.

Tuscalooser... Don't know about that... that is a nice venue for tailgating and watching football.

For cripes sake, dude, what is your major malfunction?

Ok, I'll bite. I know what you meant, but that's not the same as your point. Your point was to take a shot at our attendance. Was your point to suggest a solution? Was your point to demonstrate your support of UAB regardless of one of our weaknesses? You're just taking a potshot at the school we love...and a cheap one at that. Who do you think, on this board, wants to hear that? Who do you think needs to hear that? If this was a one time thing with you, you might get more slack. But virtually every one of your posts is intended to take a shot as something related to UAB and has no redeeming value beyond that.

And you're damn straight there were more than 10,000 people at the Tulane game. You're just flat wrong. Besides, if there were 30,000 in a 60,000 seat stadium would it really look that different?

If I wanna listen to people erroneously point out that "some high schools outdraw UAB" or "UAB might could fill Samford's stadium" (or that "our starting RB is the worst starting RB in all of D1"...that was a classic. Then I could go back to last year and your statement that we had the "lowest level of talent in all of D1"...wonder what Tulane thought about that...), I'll join the SECt of so-called college football fans in my company's breakroom. I damn sure don't want to read it on BlazerTalk. I'm all for freedom to post, but next time you feel the urge to bring us your version of a "reality check" do us all a favor and use your fingers to scratch your ass instead.

Seibert Stadium seats 6700 (I wonder what they would look like in a 70,000 seat stadium).

There are any number of us kool-aid drinkers who have predicted 3-4 wins. There are even a few wild eyed optimists who think we might possibly win as many as five or six if we get really lucky.

I'd say the number of us who think we need improved facilities, particularly that on-campus stadium approaches 100%.

The difference is that the rest of us don't have "realistic" opinions that are unfailingly negative and that we don't hammer the hell out of the school we claim to be fans of the way you do. It gets old. Real old.

I just tell them, "We beat the last Sun Belt team we played.

Shuts 'em nicely. Briefly, anyway.
