A lot of people that go through the medical school are from outside the state of Alabama anyways. Do you think that they care about if it is UAT or UAB? They just want to go to one of the top schools in the country, graduate and be the best they can be and make a lot of do for the sacrifices of doing it.
I mean this seems so childish to me. Especially at a time, when everyone needs to be pulling their resources and working for the betterment of the university, medical school and etc.
Uh, no. The vast, vast majority of UAB students are from Alabama. It's a state school, that's part of its purpose is to produce doctors for Alabama.
Tough Shi+. If they don't like it, they can go somewhere else. If it's all the same system, what the F^%# do they care? My assumption would also be that most of these yahoos are Turd fans anyway, and probably got their undergraduate degrees from UA, so again, what's the big frickin deal? If the campus where you attend medical school is UAB, why would one be so adamant regarding 1) the color of the MS coat patches being crimson, and 2) the name of the school? Again, this is another example of Ultra-anti-UAB behavior, much akin to that behavior spawned by hate groups. And, they try to blame it on UAB as per their usual m.o.
Another example of why I cannot stand most bamar folks to begin with. As a group they are hateful, ignorant, illegitimate breeders of discontent and intolerance.
Suck it, idiots...

Not trying to start anything here, but I'm doing my third and fourth year rotations at the Tuscaloosa campus (and my tuition is paid to UA, not UAB). I'm curious as to how you would make that argument for the people in my situation. Granted, I'm a Bama fan as well as a UAB fan (I don't care if that pisses some of you off, either), but I don't see the big deal one way or the other. Honestly, I think both extremes of this argument are absolutely ridiculous.
I want people to feel like they are UAB grads, not UA grads. That includes wearing green and having UAB on all their stuff. So when they graduate, they feel like giving money, wearing shirts, and buying tickets to UAB and not UA-Tuscaloosa. If you were not closely tied to your undergraduate school, wearing green in med school makes you feel more like a Blazer than a Tider.
Probably in the next 10 years there will be a full medical school in Tuscaloosa part of the UAT campus. This will be when separating UAB's medical school from UA Crimson colors will pay the biggest dividends because we want you to be giving money to UAB Med School and not UAT Med School.
The school is in Birmingham, and is administered by UAB officials; why does T-Town feel like they have any connection to it? They get our profits from the Hospitals regardless.
The SoM answers to the UAB president just like every other school at UAB, doesn't it?
If so, why the b1tching, if it's not patriarchal in nature?

Fair enough. There's is nothing wrong with wanting to support your school whether it's in Birmingham or Tuscaloosa. And I agree, the extremes are ridiculous.
As I see it, it should have changed names, colors, etc way back when the med school came under the control of UAB in the 60's or 70's.
Others (outside the state, without a rooting interest) have always refered to it as UAB's med school anyway.
It's hard for me to comment on this because I just don't know what all is involved with the split... though I will say that not much of the news coming out of UAB these days is very good. There have been some positives regarding research and individual students, but it's been a mess in every other sense.

I'm doing my rotations at DCH... Hence the part about being in Tuscaloosa in my previous comment. Not sure if that was meant to be a personal dig at me, but if it was, I don't really care. My degree means just the same as the ones of students who work at your precious UAB Hospital, so get over it.

I would wholeheartedly agree with this statement. I think part of the problem that some of these alumni are having with this whole deal is that the school was not controlled by UAB when they attended; it was a part of the University of Alabama itself. Thus, they never attended UAB (think way back), and were irritated when their donations were diverted to the general scholarship fund of UAB (a school they technically never attended). I'm not sure I totally agree with all the politics of it, but I can understand the point of view that some of these elderly physicians hold.
With all that being said, if the name change occurred with Blazer14172 said it should have, then all of this could have been avoided (at least using the argument about never attending UAB).
them!
