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

Normally not a fan of BR, but this is a pretty good read:

Still tear when I watch that video.

Like watching the Titanic movie. Don't need to see it again. Once was enough - all the bodies set adrift was so painful. At least the Captain in the Titanic went down with the ship. Watts still thinks he did the right thing. Such an intelligent mind blinded by greed or some grand, secret plan that he thinks is worth the pain and suffering he put on others and the institution he is supposed to be leading.

I enjoyed the article, but the FreeUAB movement started well before December 2014.

12.10.11, sometime around that date is when it started. ;-)

That's when it came out in the open. It was a sleeper unit ever since Gene Bartow was hired. That's when it was announced to the world that although UA was in UAB, we would not be considering the teams in Tuscaloosa to be our teams.

I'll agree with that. I was referring mainly to using the #FreeUAB moniker but you are right the spirit has existed for a long time.
