The unofficial online home for fans of the UAB Blazers. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

With regard to the AU fans taking over the Bart, this is why we were pounding the drum for the Blazer fans to buy tickets and get them to other people in Green. There are a ton of AU fans in town who jumped at a chance to see their team without having to make the drive down to Auburn. What I did not expect or account for was the number of them who were sitting in our own season ticket seats.

There are still a large number of Gene loyalists in the Frozen One Hundred who buy tickets and donate but seldom show up. There are also a number of seasons which are purchased by businesses who may or may not use them much. There were a lot of these tickets that were given to their Aubie friends.

I didn't see that coming, and I probably should have.


That said, I'll say it yet again, Blazer fans had every chance in the world to fill Bartow. Protecting our home court is on us.
