Blazers of The Week | Ep. 4 | Justyn Fernandez + Deuce Jones
Basketball season is here, and UAB men’s basketball’s Deuce Jones and Justyn Fernandez join Madison Paige to talk about it. They share their transfer portal journeys, what drew them to Coach Andy Kennedy’s honest, high-intensity program, and what it means to step into leadership roles on a new-look roster. They also talk about the offseason grind, the freshmen and returners they’re watching, and their goals: an NCAA Tournament run and a packed Bartow Arena. Then it gets fun, with 600 pairs of discarded shoes, a 51-point senior night, Birmingham wing orders, and pregame meal debates. Tune in for a preview of what’s ahead for Blazer basketball.

Coach's Corner | Ep 4 | Alex Mortensen
With UAB football riding high and ESPN’s SportsCenter fresh off a visit to campus, Madison Page sits down with head coach Alex Mortensen during the Blazers’ bye week. Coach Mortensen breaks down the overtime thriller against East Carolina: how the team stayed poised through a tough first half, the pick-six that sealed it, and Ryder Burton's instinctive two-point conversion. He also talks about the defense under Coach Grantham, what he’s focused on fixing before the road trip to South Florida, and what he’s learned in his first season as a head coach, including lessons from his years under Nick Saban. He closes with his take on the transfer portal, the “new Blazers” movement, and the memes fans are making about him.

Blazer 2 Blazer | Ep. 2 | Noah Nelson and Rachel McCollum
UAB football's Noah Nelson takes over the host chair to sit down with volleyball setter Rachel McCollum, and neither one is safe. Rachel breaks down what a setter actually does, the difference between an "elevator" and a "dolphin dive," and how she landed at UAB for a fifth year while starting an accelerated nursing program. Then the tables turn as Noah quizzes her on football terminology, and Rachel's answers just might change the game forever (the ten point line is real now). Two sports, one hilarious crash course, and a whole lot of trash talk. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
