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

Making the big tournament one year won't increase attendance the following year. That's what Blazer fans just don't get. They think having one good game or weekend means hoisting a banner. We've been irrelevant for too long. We have a ton of work to do to build a fan base. And yes we basically have to build one all over. The same 2500 that comes to Bartow hasn't changed in years. Attendance will only improve when we have a tournament program which means 4 out of 5 years with advancement in two of those. Going dancing every 6 or 7 years will never generate interest. It's called being consistently good over a long period. It means having multiple good recruiting classes in a row. I remember how many on here said we were "back" after we beat Iowa State. No! That was simply a first step. Of course the same fan base says we are a football school now after one solid season following a shutdown. With the exception of Dee and Answer, maybe Blazer 9911 and a couple of others, this site is void of rational thought.
