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

I saw that post coming almost word for word.

It has however, allowed the UA Athletic Department to find new ways to spend all that money in more "bells & whistle" accessories that ONLY athletes can use.

Giving "extra donations" to the school's General Scholarship Fund does not automatically help instate students get financial aid since the school is trying to bring in more and more out-of-state students who pay more to attend the school.( I recall an announced figure that about 52% of this year's class was out-of-state students)

The longer your name says "Bama" and "Fan" together in it, your UA rants hold absolutely no weight.

While I too have a distaste for Bammer, let's direct it at the ones who are a detriment to UAB (many of our BOT). Give BAMANBLAZERFAN a break.

I don't have a problem with Bama fans. I certainly don't care if he's a fan of Alabama or not. I was simply pointing out that he's one of the more vocal anti-UA ranters on this board, yet he continues to have Bama in his name...which causes said rants to be less effective.

Do you know why he has BAMABLAZERFAN as his name? Ever bothered to I'm him and ask? He states it ever so often. You do realize that there are a few sincere UA alums that are UAB alums that don't care for the boards actions towards us/UAB.

I thought I'd never say this but I can't wait for BBall to start. Because football has us at each others throats, for no reason.

You have no idea what I do and do not know about BAMANBLAZERFAN. As I said, I have no distaste whatsoever for people that like Alabama. But he does quite often derail UAB sports threads to talk about Alabama Football yet then bashes not the BOT but the Alabama Athletics department in other threads. Not consistent.

The football team is their golden child. Bashing the program is pretty much speaking about the BOT
