"I've never seen Watson Brown do anything but stand around on the sidelines looking lost." (Grammar-Nazi's wife, during the UAB-USM game)
Post of the Year Award:
Some of you seriously need to STFU about NC and the UAB administration. If you have any doubts about PCG's intentions or spine, read UAB Band Dad's post about protesting at the press conference.
