Football adds UAB

[angeleast]

UAB is within the recruiting footprint that Coach Napier focuses on (and all future Cajun coaches should as well) and they are currently a solid to above solid G5 program. This is a good add, IMO.

Their rising from the ashes of having no program to solid respectability is amazing.

I remember that game at Cajun Field. Hell of a rainstorm.

Didn’t UAB win the CUSA Championship this season? Scheduling a home and home with a peer G5 conference champion seems like anything but a bad deal to me.

Sounds like a good deal. 1 for 1 against a peer who are on an upward swing? Playing the MAC is fine, but you'd like semi regional match ups and this is one we can drive to.

I was in college. I stayed the whole time along with many students. Wish the students were as diehard as back then.
That was a hell of a rain storm but a hell of a win!

I think UAB lost to FAU in the league championship game. App beat UAB in the New Orleans Bowl. UAB won their division by virtue of their win over LA Tech. That was one of the games in which Tech had to sit their QB due to some type of suspension.

I was there and soaked as well. First win for Bustle if I’m not mistaken.

I was in college as well and stayed for the entire game. I believe that was Rickey Bustle’s first win as a head coach. The digging of the footers for the foundation that was laid by he and the staff after the toothpick era.
