Blackout at Bartow Arena to Protest, 6:00PM Morehead vs UAB Thursday Night!!!
I am asking ALL UAB fans to be at Bartow Arena Thursday night and be in your seat 30 minutes before tipoff to protest UAB President Watts killing football as well as some women’s sports. Please bring signs, shirts, etc. but please make sure all conform with Bartow Arena rules.

Thirty minutes before tipoff we want to start chanting: "Free UAB" as well as "WE Are UAB", "Fire Ray Watts", and "Watts sold us out!" I’m sure we can think of other things.

This will be a peaceful protest and we need to fill the Arena. We also want to support the UAB Basketball team as they take on Morehead State.

Please, we do not want to in any way interfere with any game day activities or take anything away from the basketball team. Let’s support the athletes from the sports being cut and support the Men’s basketball team which will also be affected by all of this.

One more thing; if anyone refuses entry of your signs please document even if you have to video it. Get them on camera saying no.

EVEN IF YOU DON’T LIKE BASKETBALL SHOW UP. Buy a ticket. And support our cause and support UAB Basketball. Stay to the end .

Let’s all make it to Bartow to let them know how we feel and fiill it up, standing room only.

Some are meeting at the Green at 5:30 and marching over to Bartow.
Due to size of crowd I suggest getting there at 6:00PM
Protest Begins ay 6:30PM
Tipoff is at 7:00PM

WEAR BLACK!!

I cannot stress enough that this game needs to be a sellout.

Let's get this VIRAL on social media.

I also think it would be highly appropriate to wear black to the game. I plan on it.

#FreeUAB Protest at Bartow Arena 6:30PM This Thursday Night
I think people should start gathering a little earlier than 630, maybe around 6, so we can get a large group together outside bartow with signs and everything else. Maybe the news will come pick this up and we can let everyone know that we won't back down. But we definitely need to make a statement. Tweet it, Facebook it, email it, etc.

Great idea - I will be there.

If a sell-out crowd shows up and they want to be in their seats at 6:30 they better be there when the tickets go on sale at the Arena (6:00?) or better yet buy them now; ahead of time.

I'd hate to see 3000 protestors wandering in AFTER tip-off because of the long, slow ticket lines.

Buy them ahead of time. If you buy at the ticket office game day show up at least by 5. Then you can protest outside for the media to see. GET THIS VIRAL!

Just dropped back to wish you all the best --- I am holding out hope of a Hail Mary and maintain Blazer Football lives until said disgusting press conference actualy does occur.

And ... Attalla ... mega flattery for your idea. Yours is the ultimate way to really protest in a civil manner. I'm also going to plagiarize your note sometime about recording any confiscation. You're a credit to UAB.
