Football: UAB vs Memphis

The Blazers host Memphis. Game time TBA.

The Blazers and Tigers began competing in football after the Blazers football team joined Division I in 1997. UAB joining the American Athletic Conference has renewed this rivalry. In 2006, the schools introduced a trophy, a 100-pound bronze rack of ribs alluding to the two cities’ reputation for barbecue, and dubbed the game the “Battle for the Bones”.
