That’s my fault for trying to treat you guys like actual media members.
Cheering in the pressbox, drinking in the stadium club that you don’t have access to…yeah, I revoked your media credential.
Gotta decide if you want to be a media outlet or a fan group. Can’t have both.

.@UAB_FB finished 9-4 with a win over No. 13 BYU.

I encourage any national media who are in town for #SECMD21 to swing by @ProtectiveStdm this week and check out the new home of @UAB_FB. Let me know if you’re interested!

Add Andy Kennedy to the discussion for National Coach of the Year.
Year 1 and he’s got @UAB_MBB off to a 13-2 start. Pretty dang impressive.

If you’re a high level recruit, you’d be crazy not to consider UAB.
Along with a Super Bowl winning head coach, @DilfersDimes has assembled a top notch on-field staff that includes experience at: Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State, South Carolina, UAB, MT and Lipscomb Academy. 😮💨

Since returning in 2017 from a two year hiatus, @UAB_FB is...
• 28-11 Overall
• 20-5 in C-USA
• 16-2 vs. C-USA West Div.
• 2x C-USA West Champs
• 2018 C-USA Champs
This Saturday, the Blazers get to defend their title in Boca. Pretty remarkable.

Conference USA MBB teams are 15-1 combined in the postseason.
1 team in the Final Four, 2 teams in the NIT Final Four and 1 team that won the CBI.
Seems like @ConferenceUSA should have been more than a 1 bid league this season.

It’s time to start talking about DeWayne McBride for the @DoakWalkerAward
• National leader in rushing yards per game (160.2)
• National leader in career yards per carry (7.3)
• In four games this year, 641 rushing yards and 9 touchdowns.
Nation needs to take notice.

As I sit here packing for @TheBahamasBowl, it’s crazy to think of what @UAB_FB has accomplished in its first year back. It’s been incredible to witness it all unfold and I’m looking forward to making (more) history with a bowl victory.

I’m not sure how a team that leads the nation in scoring defense, has won seven in a row and put up a school record of 668 yards of offense last night in a 52-3 win isn’t ranked. 🤨

It’s amazing how far we’ve come in five years.
From not having a team, to winning two of the last three C-USA Championships, and now opening the season tonight on ESPN.
