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

At the bama arkansas game. I'm a student at UA, but I came to see Mike (and my gf wanted to go to a game). I miss Mike, but I hope Haase can bring us back.

Wow. We always talk about the large number of UAB students who are Bama fans, but it looks like we've got one in return.

A Blazer pilgrim in an unholy land.

Or, like Walt Maddox, our mole on the inside.

I think UABrandon went there too.

Jethro Bodine gave up being a brain surgeon, to become a Double naught spy.

Only reason I'm going to UA is to get away from home. Although I do make trips back a lot for games on weekends ha

Nope, went to University of Arizona, with drew after first semester to help out my sick grand parents, uncle, and aunt.

I used to have season football tickets to gumpville. Does that count?

I suppose. I was a huge Auburn fan until I started school at UAB and even then it probably wasn't until my Sophomore year that I was solely a UAB football fan. I must share with the group an email I received after making different introductions on Linkedin upon moving to Chattanooga:

Welcome to Chattanooga and UTC. Hope you are very successful.

Seeing that you graduated from UAB – I have to ask: Are you a Bama fan?

If you are, I would like to invite you to become a member of our Chattanooga Bama Club. If you’d like, I’ll add you to our email list so you will know what is happening at all times.

Our website is http://www.chattabamaclub.com and we do have a Facebook page, ChattaBamaClub.

Makes me want to puke, although I'm sure this person was just trying to friendly. My response:

Thanks for the quick note. From a professional standpoint I am a UTC fan as I feel that to be successful in this position I need to become very familiar with the different athletic programs here. However, from a personal standpoint I am a UAB fan and football season ticket holder so I would not be interested in the Chattanooga Bama Club. I appreciate you reaching out.

My gump football following days preceded UAB's football program & stopped when my university started football.

Completely understandable then. TKE has a board member who I'm good friends with and was a member of the UAB football team the first year in 1989. He pulls for UAB, however he's a huge bama fan as well. We all have our flaws. It's pretty futile to convince our older alums to change their ways in that regard. What drove me nuts is the guys I was active with and the guys still in the chapter that still pull for Auburn/Alabama.

I pull for them to lose.

I pull for them to receive the death penalty. Permanently.

Me too.

As do I. I also want them forbidden to participate in athletics.

Thanks bud! Will do!

Just like former smokers don't like to smell cigarettes I now see them as the evil empire.
