Don't care to hear the 'They-didn't-want-to-be-here' narrative. BYU wanted to win this game. UAB was better today.

Was in the Protective Stadium watching the parade of athletes come in. They announce the country as they enter. The athletes from Georgia were announced. Dude behind me started barking. Guess that's what they get for holding it in SEC country.

A program that didn't field a team five seasons ago had the chance today to earn a third consecutive trip to a conference championship game. Let that soak in a minute.

UAB us playing in its first football conference championship game on Saturday. You would think that's a big enough event to warrant daily coverage from a local media outlet. Am I wrong?

Where has
@CoachAK13
taken his UAB basketball program in a short 3 years? They just won a school record 29 games and yet there is a what-could-have been feel to the season. To me, that's the sign of a program on the rise. Got a lot of important pieces to fill now.

College baseball coach wins 1,061 games and a NAIA national title in 39 years. 31 of those years are in the same community. He does so with incredible class. He retires. Is this worth a retirement story for the local paper/online site where he spent 31 yrs? Asking for a friend.

Andy Kennedy on his team: Anybody that knows me, I’m a non-BS guy. I am really proud of this group. I’ve been doing this as a head coach for 17 years, been in the game over 30. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a team that grew as much as this team throughout the course of the season

Will share that Bryant Vincent said UNM AD Eddie Nunez played a big role in his decision: “Without a doubt, he is first class. He knows what he is doing. He has a clear vision. It was nice to talk to an athletic director that knew football and understood people.”

Making the NIT championship game is an accomplishment. It should be treated with pride and respect. Winning means something. But suggesting this might be the most important game in UAB program history shows little knowledge of the program's history.

Pretty good measurement of the type of job that UAB OL coach
