Writing the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges, detailing the BOT interference.

Hit the BOT's businesses in the pocketbook. Call them make an appointment, and then cancel at the last minute, then send them a nice note later telling them you won't be using their services because they didn't support the stadium. And you will discourage friends and associates from employing them also.

Great idea! That will get the attention of the BOTs

Just last week there was this one:

My son and I saw that Saturday morning and busted out laughing.

Just a reminder in everything that you do regarding UAB in this, please be professional.

Just the facts, leave the other institutions out of it, this isn't about them.

Let these people know, politely and professionally, that you will NOT be using their services, and why:

I did it. Not sure if it will mater much, but at least it will stir the pot. Someone has to read those! At least they'll be annoyed enough to tell their friends, "Man those crazy UAB fans are really pissed. They sent xxx number of messages to the bank complaining about Paul Bryant Jr."

Someone should take a UAB flag and a "Don't Tread on Me" Flag, put them on the same pole and plant it next to the WSU flag.

Keep in mind that most people have no idea what's going on, so a font tread on me flag will not register. I think the freeUAB idea is much better, as it might make some people ask what it means

Something short, catchy, and easily searchable. #freeuab accomplishes all of these.

Well if you go then you need to get there early. With the hype surrounding this game, gumps from all over will be there to get on TV.

Then inform them, be courteous, & ask for their support.

I see nothing wrong with that.

just make sure to spell check please. We don't need any ding dongs on tv with a misspelled sign. that would be fantastic!

My thoughts are that this might backfire on us. I am not saying don't do it but this is really an in your face tactic at their big day. Since several have said (and I agree) the way to win this is not to make this UAB vs UAT. This is about UAB vs one or two people on the BOT. Keep it about that.

Just my 02 cents worth.

True, but they started it. #freeuab or #occupyboft is enough. No need to get cute.

IMO, I don't think going to gameday to hold up a sign is really an attack on UAT...It is only coincidence(well, maybe not but...) that the ESPN Gameday which is a HUGE media opportunity is 1 hour away.

The purpose is not to intrude on UAT's big day but to be seen in a big way publicly.

It depends on what the sign says :)

True dat! Keep them nice and intelligent!

No, they didn't. ONE man did. One little man who sorely wishes with every fiber of his being that he personified UAT football as his father did.

I stand behind no one in hatred of the bammers. But this is no different than Harvey Updyke killing trees to try to make himself something grander than he is.

Mr. Bryant - for I am aware that you read this board - you are not your father. He WAS Alabama football. You;re just a money-grubbing little worm who will never be Pat Trammel. No matter how much money you grub, no matter how much you throw your weight around, you are still a nothing compared to your father.
