The Dragon's Den

Join me as I talk with Wanda Hightower, a true legend in UAB athletics history. Wanda owns the women's basketball record books and was the first UAB athlete to have a jersey retired in any sport. Coming from Memphis, Tennessee, Wanda grew up playing basketball and committed to UAB before the program had even played a single game! It was great to get to know about her basketball career, learn about UAB's history in its first years of athletic existence, and get to know about her life now! I hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for listening!

Join me in this "superfan" episode as I talk with UAB marching band legend Jesse Taylor. Jesse went to UAB from 2004-2012 playing in the marching band and pep band as well as his time as the drum major. Jess is now the marching band director at Gardendale High School. Hear his stories from his time as a student, to being on the band staff during the football program shutdown, and now his life in Gardendale and as the screaming superfan we all know on gamedays. Hope you enjoy!

Join host Will Harris as he talks with a very familiar Blazer face, former football center Lee Dufour. Lee played for the Blazers in 2014, then due to the program shutting down, left for South Alabama only to return less than 7 months later to rejoin the Blazers after the announcement of the program's return. Lee was a leader on the offense for the 2017-2019 seasons. Lee talks about the odyssey of his football career, his personal memories at UAB like his friendship with kicker Nick Vogel, and where he is now! If you are a true college football fan and loved the story of UAB football's rise from the ashes, you will want to hear this episode! Listen till the end to find out how about my FridayGiveaway this Friday (Sept. 4th) social media! Thanks for listening!

Join me as I talk with UAB baseball legend Ryan Keedy who started at first base for the Blazers in 2007-2008. Ryan holds several batting records for UAB baseball and is in the top 10 in even more! Ryan discusses everything from playing baseball for his dad, to his time at UAB, and his life now as the Gardendale High School baseball coach. Hope you enjoy it! Go Blazers! 

In episode 1, I talk with former UAB basketball guard Morris "Mo" Finley, the man that sends shivers down the spine of all Kentucky Wildcat fans! Mo and I talk about his time at UAB, his favorite memories, his life now, and take your questions from social media! This episode ran a little longer than expected, but I think you'll enjoy Mo's stories!
