UAT, Once Again, Embarrasses State

The residents of the Great State of Alabama have, once again, been embarrassed by UAT's attempt to compete in sports. Head Baseball Coach, Jim Wells remarked, "I'm glad I'm not in this thing alone". Recently, the baseball team was dominated by Miami of Ohio. They have also lost 2 games to Hawaii and are winless against UAB on the season. We attempted to reach Coach Shula, who has done her share to embarrass the state in football, but she was unavailable for comment.

UAT was completely dominated today by the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers. A lot of people didn't realize there was such a school. "It's like getting beat by Troy State at Montgomery," said Larry Williams, a lifetime UAT fan who joined some friends to watch the game at Wings in Montgomery. For 40 minutes the Horizon League champions dominated play. "We expected this," forward Joah Tucker said. "It wasn't a big surprise for us."

The loss leaves one to wonder, when will it ever end. Will UAT ever return to the glory days in any sport. Even this website has suffered over the past 4 or 5 years with UAT. "They just don't have the swagger they used to have," said long-time Sidelines reader Phil Cupper. "I almost wish they could win a softball game or something so they'd come back."
