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

The Alumni are against him, the Faculty has no confidence in him, the Media is investigating him, and the State and City officials don't trust him.

I wonder if the students are planning a strike. Given his support from the BOT, that is the only way to bring this to a head.

imho.

The fight has to come from all fronts. It is up to all of us.

There's nothing more infuriating, and grass-roots mobilizing, than a corrupt syndicate thumbing its collective nose at those whose interests are supposed to be represented by such and are not.
The more these idiots continue to discount us, and the true story makes its way out, the more angry and united WE the stakeholders become!
We fight them. We fight them all.

Students are trying to mobilize a protest for thursday at noon, and something else next week when classes are back

I hope the protest is well thought out and not just thrown together with only 30 students showing up. It needs to be organized properly and massive in size.

Wait until after the break.

Don't go to class. Sit in on the Green. Awesome.

That is pretty cool. Hope ALL students participate!

Don't need a lot. Just need sincere dedication. I think these kids have been doing a great job. Look at the last imprompto protest they did. Just be ready as alum to back them up and move on Montgomery.

Massive may be a little much but it needs to be at least a hundred or so students just to somewhat counteract the "vocal few" comment from Witt. Because if don't have many students protesting, Watts PR machine will eat that up like Pac Man on dots.

I normally wouldn't advocate missing class, but I'm going to be honest- I totally would have for something like this. That would be amazing.

Just the PR machine do it. So far every time they tried it has backfired. It's Spring break...I figure the young Blazers have a plan or two. Don't underestimate them.

It is a chance to be part of history.

They aren't in class this week. It's spring break week.

Whatever they do will be fine.

They can raise more hell next week.

It's spring break... Did you already forget all the students that went to the Gump?

You all know best. Carry on!
