HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- Alabama A&M plays the villain in the feel-good story of the football season when the Bulldogs kick off on Sept. 2 against UAB at Legion Field.And coach James Spady relishes that role.
“I hope we get billed as the bad guy,” he said. “We’re going to do everything we can to spoil their return. That’s our motivation. We understand what the big deal is. And it is a big deal. It’s a great story for college football. For a team to disband or stop playing and then turn around and rise again, I think that’s a heck of a story for college football.
“But we want to put a damper on their rise to prominence,” Spady continued. “That’s our goal. One of the things that motivates us is to spoil this whole thing for them. We’re doing everything we can to get to that point.”
Kickoff for the 2017 college football season is fast approaching. Alabama NewsCenter is talking with coaches across the state about the upcoming campaign. Next up is Spady, the A&M coach whose team was 4-7 in 2016.
