As someone who has lived in the Birmingham area my entire life
I'm really pulling for UAB. Birmingham needs something to be proud of, and I really hate how the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa continues to tie UAB's hands behind their backs. McGhee is a great hire for them and I hope he is there a while.
UAB used to be the solid number 3 school in the state of Alabama in sports, but Troy has really surged ahead of them. UAB really doesn't have much to be proud of right now so I'm hoing McGhee can bring back a sense of pride to the school and to the city.
