Another example of a kid having problems, etc., coming to UAB and apparently getting things in order.

Good article. He's going to end up a quality back but more importantly a quality kid

Ive never seen “Last Chance U”—the article makes it sound like the coach treated him unfairly (or at least more harsh than other players).
Is that how it came across on the show?

I see why we didn't land any recruits from there, that coach is a *ucktard.

He couldn’t hold onto the ball, that didn’t help his cause.

That coach is an idiot though.

I only made it through the 1st episode. The series is pretty unwatchable. There’s one scene where the coach is in a hot tub, smoking a cigar, the night before the 1st game. He goes on about how he hasn’t watched much film on the opponent, but that he wasn’t worried because he’s a offensive savant. They got beat the next day 70-21.

Haven't watched LCU either or for that matter whatever show Rush Probst was in.

Maybe Davis just needed stability off the field to help with things on the field.

Coach Clark still has a lot of connections in Prattville. He wouldn't take Davis if he didn't have some strong endorsements from back home. May just be a good kid that struggled being away from home. Sounds like he's thankful for the opportunity at UAB.

First, the coach on LCU is a pure idiot, But... in that first game that he got hammered, he lost his players, mainly because of the QB's attitude and the way the HC tears down is players and coaches. He never encourages them at all. You must do both.

That coach is...not the best. I feel really sorry for his players in many ways. It's one thing to be tough on your players and to hold them to a higher standard. It's another thing to constantly degrade, belittle, and abuse them verbally. It wasn't just Kingston Davis either- it was a really messed-up team culture overall. I'm sure that Coach Clark and his staff are a welcome change for Kingston.

If, Kingston and Spencer, can get 30 carries a game, It spells Jordan and his counter partner all over again, hope they can do it, Like to call it, The Thunder and Lighting running attack. You can't tell when one is in and one Is out, mix in Noble and that's a dang good running game.

The Current Offensive Cord. Knows how to run it. Mix in AJ and the receivers with the Oline, UAB should be able to do it.

Get - to the Defense later. Starting with Keely and Mirianio.

Hope, They can save it, until the Tulane Game and after.
Meaning, Hope, They can go vanilla -to after the first two games.
Coastal should be a game of interest. Should Tell the direction of all the Future Games for the Season.

In 2014 I saw Vincent do some things that even Mr. Offense Garrick McGee didn't do.

#UAB head coach Bill Clark informed team that yesterday Coach Vincent’s “blood pressure got up, had a mini stroke. Good news is he’s been checked out and looks good.”

Hope all is and continues to be well...

Hope he gets plenty of Tamatoe Juice and V8's and Gatorade. Tamatoe juice can cure that. Get em Ready coach.

So can Tomatoe jam and Tomatoe fungus. It will all come down the color of Tomatoe polish they use though.

You say Tamatoe I say Ta-mah-toe

Heard from a buddy of mine that Kingston is in a boot...hopefully just precautionary. I mean if he’s out for the Savannah State game that will be fine as long as he’s ready for Coastal.

It's pretty compelling television. It shows side of college football that fans prefer not to think about.

Admittedly, I haven't seen any of season 3.
