Glenn Davis arrived at Protective Stadium at 1:30 p.m. Saturday for the 6 p.m. kickoff of Liberty and UAB. He was among hundreds of Blazer faithful who were drenched by a heavy shower about 75 minutes before kickoff.

But the rain did little – if anything – to dampen the enthusiasm of Davis and his fellow fans. Not on this historic day.

“Oh no,” the Highland Lakes resident said. “If anything, it made me more determined. It’s just good football weather. Hey, this is our inaugural season so I’m all for it. Wet, rain, shine, sleet.”
