Former UAT QB Gets Life in Prison

Michael Landrum, the first black quarterback to ever play at UAT, was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole on Wednesday after being convicted of a double murder. Landrum, of Sweetwater, hired a man for $1,000 to kill his 3 year old daughter and her grandmother in August of 2003. The 3 year old's mother was in Iraq serving in the National Guard at the time.

Landrum serves another blow to the already tarnished image of UAT football which dates back to the drunken lusts of Coach Bryant and highschool children wanting to play in Tuscaloosa. Since those dark days, UAT has gone through 7 different football coaches, and has shown no real success that wasn't marked by corruption and cheating as evidenced by the continuous NCAA probation.
