HUNTINGTON — Tonight, Marshall is in appearing in Birmingham, Alabama, and the local team is having one of those special “Blackout” promotions.
Must be football season.
No, wait. The calendar says February. The University of Alabama at Birmingham’s football program is on hiatus. Guess again.
OK, this “Blackout” is a special promo for a women’s basketball game. No?
All right, it’s a men’s game, and the promo was scheduled well in advance without regard to the opponent.
That doesn’t appear to be the case. It appears the idea was hatched in the recent week or so with a big, big game in mind.
