BLAZER WEEKLY

UNINSPIRED EFFORT
UAB GOES HOME EMPTY HANDED
AFTER BCS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP LOSS

(WITH 51 SECONDS LEFT FRESHMEN MARCUS LEAK REACTS TO LOSING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP)

BIRMINGHAM, AL-- Its been a few days since the Championship loss to TCU and the players are currently cleaning out their lockers and turning in equipment to get ready for graduation or winter conditioning.
"Whether you win or lose this is always a tough time of the year." Said head coach Travis Rhatigan. In the game the Blazers look uncharacteristically uninspired after giving up 8 rushing touchdowns to TCU's Chris Herron. After the third quarter he had four rushing touchdowns and he was just starting to get loose. Senior middle linebacker who always has some kind of get motivated speech during the game had nothing to say according to freshmen Timi McCollum. "We were kinda just waiting for him to get crunk and hoop and holla but you can tell he was surprised at was happening." TCU's showed a different kind of athlete, a athlete UAB wasn't prepared for.
"Ill take all blame on this one." Head coach Travis Rhatigan said. "I saw that our guys weren't completely focused and I should've address it in a more stern way, instead I thought the Seniors would lead the way." The Blazers will have a long off season ahead of them as they prepare for a another championship run.
