Go figger, SMU.

Is their AD looking to move up?

Their IPF got done first too. Well...at least ours will have walls, I think.

Hhahahahahahah look at those LOSERS with that stupid facility! Oh wait they are ranked 30 spots ahead of us, have 10 wins, and are conf champs.

Good point.

[ALEX LIFESON]

Did they start over from scratch with 0 players?

[mtrout]

I'm sure they had some players but almost anyone good transferred when they heard of the shutdown. I think they had 50+ players transfer when the decision was announced.

There was an article espn posted detailing where every UAB transfer went. A surprisingly high number of them transferred to P5 schools and were starters. Off hand, I recall a LB that went to Georgia and a RB that went to INdiana

I thought it was supposed to take 40 years to do something like this?

[mrydel]

Well we decided it would be as easy as Pye.

[redpony]

unfortunately that pye ended up being half-baked.

UAB was able to take prop kids no other school could take and then use their off two years to get them qualified.

Our Adminstrator had 30 years to reverse Pye's start, but he kept it on track and no one objected. At least at Ole Miss they booed him off the field during homecoming. We just let him renew his own contract six times.
