Step behind the scenes of the UAB football shutdown with the Green and Gold Podcast

This season UAB football put a shocking finish on one of the most inspiring stories in college football. Just four years removed from a total shutdown of the Blazers’ football program, Head Coach Bill Clark led his team to the university’s first ever conference championship in football.

With the Blazers coming off their first ever Conference USA championship and aiming to earn the program’s first ever bowl victory, now is the perfect time to recollect on the dark days that proceeded the Blazers’ great success this season.

Enter the Green and Gold Podcast. An episodic podcast similar in structure to NPR classics such as “Serial” and “S Town”, Green and Gold explores the beginnings of UAB athletics, the backroom deals that doomed the program, and the Blazers’ return to action.
