I thought about going to this game considering it's about 5 miles from my house. I completely forgot that he was at LaTech prior to his stink at Cal.

Life is cruel sometimes...

And ....did LaTech do it....

There's football today after lunch ...

 

[TerryP]

Absolutely horrid.

UAB was not ready for prime time today, but 8 wins, coming back from the grave, I'm not sure that's ever been done. If I'm going down I want to be in the Bahamas when I do it. They may have to come find me when it's time for the bus ride to the airport.

Good Twitter thread last night ... at least an entertaining and somewhat informative one (IF you made the trip.)

$14 per beer in the stadium.
Re-entry allowed with coolers.
$12 a six pack outside the stadium.

Windows open, the temp is roughly 65°, and it's pretty sunny here in the Low Country.

Meanwhile ...



..and the Birmingham Bowl kicks off in about an hour. Wind, rain, and a TTU offense. Yeah, might get ugly.

Nature's shoutout to the "Old Grey Lady."

I sat through some real crap weather over the years in that stadium, including the 1983 Iron Bowl.

Yeah one of the quickest memories of being at Legion Field is the weather. When Perkins was there against LSU there was actually a tornado warning given from the press box. Worst torrential rain I've ever sat through. Seems like Perkins went for the tie instead of the win and caught hell for it the next week.

When you two @TUSKstuff and @Bamabww at the Southern Miss game? You know the one that was reschedule because of 9/11? I know this one was a down pour.

Are you thinking about this one? Even back in "94", there was no rule about playing a game with lightning popping. Fans were cheering every time it thundered. Crazy, when you think about it.

 

[rick4bama]

No it was this one! @TUSKstuff. Now that one with Ole Siss I remember watching that one on TV. Ole Sis had a 14 points lead at the time it was stop? The next day we had a family reunion and I'm wearing my Bama cap. One of my cousin came up to me and said, Bama should have lose that game. I look at him and said, maybe but didn't!

Great to see Army win their bowl game. They score with 0:18 seconds left in the game to make it 35-34 San Diego State. Army goes for two and gets it to go ahead 35-36. SDSU gets the kickoff and is called for intentional grounding with 0:07 seconds left. Final play is SDSU with a few flea flickers and Army intercepts the ball and scores.

I remember when Bama played Army in the Sun Bowl way back. Bama had to come from behind to beat Army that day?

Alabama edged Army 29-28 in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, led by the efforts of David Smith and Derrick Thomas.

 

[RollllTide!]

Army had the guts to go for two. But heh they will be dodging bullets soon so they didn't look like they were worried at all.

Bigger names for sure but the Pac 12 have some terrible teams in that conference.

@TUSKstuff What does that say about WVU at this point?

Sidenote: H/T to Holgerson for telling his player "if you don't have the heart to be out here, we don't want you out here." (referring to a player sitting for the bowl game.)
