Please say you'll reconsider. I hate it. It's so annoying that it makes me spend far less time on your site than I would without it.

Bob, can the next step be getting rid of the omnipresent bar at the top of the screen? It steals a lot of real estate on the screen and is excruciatingly annoying, especially for smaller screens like on Macbook Airs or netbooks.

Why not state the name of the business where this happened? The best I can figure is that it must have been the gas station next to the 255 overpass.

I'm sure if that student life center was being built in Tuscaloosa, they'd actually raise the budget by 50% instead of cutting it by that much.

Brad is a good weatherman, but he's no Dan Satterfield. The most powerful radar imaginable is irrelevant without a good meteorologist who can help you understand the science behind it.

Awful news. Dan has been the only broadcast meteorologist in North Alabama who hasn't been afraid to present real science in his time on air. Most other weathermen do their best to water it down. His leaving is a significant loss for this area, it's a shame that WHNT couldn't do more to keep him around.

I've driven through this very roundabout twice a day for four years now. I've never seen the problems mentioned in this article, nor have I ever seen an accident there.

An ultrasound that could kill you and everything you know if it was 201,700 miles closer.

I'd love to go, but only if it's not too expensive. $40 a ticket is probably the highest I'd be willing to pay.

It only took the AP three years to catch up to this. The Obama campaign was doing all of this and then some back in 2008.

They're gonna put him in the slammer if they catch him with that Alabama high test!

Even with as much good natured ridicule as he got during his tenure, UAH has really missed Frank Franz since he left the school.

Franz was very hands off whenever possible, instead letting good leadership develop internally within each part of the school. He was also the best student friendly president you could possibly ask for. He was famous for remembering not only the name of each student, but where they were from and what they were majoring in. I also remember seeing him at least two or three times a week in the cafeteria, having lunch and cutting up with students.

For those of us who were students during his tenure, we often ask ourselves "is this something Franz would do?" Unfortunately, the answer has too often been no lately.

SUBWAY, IMMA GONNA LET YOU FINISH, BUT QUIZNOS HAS THE BEST SAMMICHES OF ALL TIME!!

This has definitely been an issue within the MLB playoffs for about ten years now. The season itself is a huge marathon, and teams often come limping into the playoffs with many players hurt or not playing as well as they did earlier in the season. Many times, it just comes down to whoever just happens to be hot at the time, and is not at all a matter of who had the best team over the course of the season.

The last time the Cardinals won the World Series, they backed into the playoffs and were barely over .500. That could happen again this year. The Phillies were clearly a better team than the Cardinals this year in just about every aspect. And yet a combination of luck and timing saw St. Louis win. Had the Braves been playing as well in September and October as they did in July and August, they would have made a serious run at the World Series. It's a shame that it's luck and injuries instead of skill that too often decides the fate of entire seasons.

I think MLB is aware of the problem. That's largely why they're going to expand the number of teams that make it into the playoffs in 2013.

Antoine is full of crap. He got famous for running his mouth about how he was going to find that guy, but he never did.

Wow, this is such a huge embarassing fail. It's sad that we'll likely never have a good event like this again, and it's all the fault of the terrible efforts of the organizers.

This is great. Frank Franz was known to have great rapport with students, and would sometimes do fun stuff like this with them. UAH has really missed that kind of interaction, great to see that we can expect that again.

They're potentially shooting themselves in the foot by making all of these modifications and retroactive changes this close to the event. Ticketing is starting to become pretty confusing at this point.

You certainly see the stadium from another perspective than I do, so I'll take your word on it.
