What Trent Dilfer, AD Mark Ingram, president Ray Watts, and the University of Alabama Board of Trustees has done to UAB football should be a sterling example of malpractice at a university athletics level.

The students, athletes, and alumni of UAB deserve better than what is being presented.

There are 25 different mayonnaises‽

As a UAB fan who helped spearhead The Return, I pray you are correct.

But Mark Ingram must also go for creating this debacle.

UAB closing in on 0-3 in the American, and their best games have been a mixture of 1) almost losing to FCS teams but not quite and 2) being somewhat competitive for a while against good AAC teams. Gotta be getting to the end here now

What should we talk about tonight? 🧐

🌚 Would now be a good time to mention that Fullcast After Dark has a new voicemail line for this season 🌝

And that if you'd like to leave us a message about today's games, it may be played on the air tonight? 🌙

Censoring the press isn't enough for the Trump administration. Now they're even trying to censor court records that discuss the press's reporting.

This is unheard of.

Opposition Filed Against DOJ Effort to Strike Context from Complaint About Qatar’s ‘Gifted’ Jet to Trump Administration - American Oversight

As the DOJ refuses the prompt release of a memo clearing the Qatari jet ‘gift,’ Freedom of the Press Foundation, represented by American Oversight, argues against erasing this context and the agency’s continued delays.

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.
