Well my Knights gave us another FUN ride home on Sunday, it’s great not having to play the what-if game for 9 hours! Glad I was able to make another roadtrip with my uncle, we’ve gone to so many away games in the past only to come up empty- so to get 2 straight wins is sweet!

Pictures have been posted from the trip, click here or click Pictures link on the left. Didn’t take many- but there are some interesting shots. Unfortunately things don’t look to great for our fellow CUSA member UAB as they had terrible support for their final game, considering they were playing to become bowl eligible. Regardless now with USM’s loss if we beat Rice we play in the first ever CUSA Championship Game! Wow…who’d have guessed that?!

Top 10 Observations from UAB trip

1. Unbelievable Parking/Tailgating situation at UAB. As pics will show we were able to park about 15 yards from the gate for $8 less than 2 hours before kickoff. Also hardly any great UAB tailgating going on and we walked around whole stadium. Sad
2. Not trying to throw UAB under the fire, but also disappointed to see so little UAB colors in the stands. Easily more than half the home crowd was wearing other colors like red and blue. Also noticed on the 50 yd line home side prime seats was a pee wee league football team…how’s that happen?
3. Not impressed with Legion Field sorry to say, it needs some work to say the least. Also disappointed I couldn’t get a MtDew when there was a giant MtDew sign on the scoreboard.
4. Nice UCF crowd there, although we were pretty spread out b/c all the room we had. Someone even mentioned the idea of moving over a section towards the 50 with each score! Nice to see the TD push ups and doing the 1st cheers!
5. The team coming back from being down 11 shows me they are a team that just knows how to win period. I admit I was pretty worried, but they didn’t buckle when the easily could have so big props- I love this team.
6. Matt Prater is BACK
7. UAB’s campus seems nice appears spread out across a decent size section of Birmingham
8. If you ever go to Birmingham you gotta go to Dreamland BBQ, great food and great experience, very unique.
9. We had a BLAST listening to the UGA/Auburn game on the way back to Atlanta where we were staying that night. For comic value I wish I could have Larry Munson call every game I listen to (well except UCF) we never laughed so hard.
10. It’s nice not to run out of gas on the way home and have to get picked up by a player’s parents for a change
