He's an ass and doesn't support UAB. Does not mean you should do the same.

Watts has UAB pissed & UAB does not want to spend 1 penny on anything while Watts & the BOT are in control.

I understand where you are coming from, but I am thinking of this differently. If I misunderstand the manner in which is handled someone can correct me, but this is not the UAB tournament, but the Conference USA tournament. The money from the tickets is going to renting the BJCC and putting on tournament and any "profit" goes to the conference, not UAB. Personally I would think that it would be slap in the face of this young Blazer team not to support them during the tournament held in their home town after all of the work they have put in.

Agree 100℅. Which is rare with you.

My tickets were processed this morning... Section 8L, Row J. That means not many have been sold in the Side Court Reserved section. 3 rows have sold and they're on the 4th now.

I have supported & will continue to support as I can.

Finally ordered mine today. Premium Reserved are still available. Got some on the center court aisle 2 rows up. Hopefully that's not too low to see anything. The way this team is improving this could be a whole lot of fun.
