quote:

To honor and memorialize the children and their families served by Children's Harbor located one block off of UAB's campus, the Blazer football team will wear the names of patients on the back of their jerseys for UAB's Homecoming game vs. Louisiana Tech.


quote:

The 100 game jerseys will be presented to each child and their family after the game.

A section of Legion Field will be filled with honored Children's Harbor families to cheer on the Blazers and the 100 players participating in this heartfelt project. For these families to be together in a joyful, carefree setting allows them to put aside – for a few hours – the everyday realities of doctor visits, stress and fatigue that comes with caring for a child who has serious chronic illness.

Great for UAB. Sports, if only for a few hours, can be a great escape no matter what you may be going through

Cowherd had a super hot take today saying that if you go to a game or watch a game "as an escape" then you probably have issues. ***Sound Byte*** alert.

Good stuff UAB Blazers though!!!!!!!!

yeah, he tries way too hard to be edgy at times but I guess that's why he succeeds.

say shite that you know will rub people the wrong way enough and they'll keep listening anyway.

Between how Iowa fans are showing their support for sick kids and how the Hawkeye football team played their butts off and represented themselves and their school Saturday night, I am very proud to call myself a Hawkeye fan. Even though Iowa lost a heartbreaker to PSU I came away feeling good after the game. That school and team showed everything that is right about sports and competition and just being decent human beings.

Refreshing given everything else that is going on in the sports world.

La tech game coming off a bye week is going to be crucial if they're going to make bowl eligibility.
