I ran across this Kaleidoscope article from 22 years ago. Interesting!

The page 6 UAB vs Auburn article is timely as well.

Ah, when Pat finished his comments with "now go whip their ass Tommy Joe", referring to AU coach Tommy Joe Eagles. Real classy Pat, I thought at the time.

more specifically something like Gene, I hope Tommy Joe whips your ass.

Nice Machine article on Page 2. Man, so much of this is timely today. Also, shoutout to our Blazer Brother mentioned in the lead article for fighting the BOT for over two decades!!!

Some don't change(much):

...USGA demands equity on Board of Trustees
During the discussion of the resolution,Griswold stated, "I have nothing against Tuscaloosa but we(UAB) are an institution in our own right We have no representation at UAB on the Board of Trustees."

...UA SGA Suspension arouses concern at UAB
Could the student government at UABget suspended? Could a power like the "Machine" influence UAB elections? The student government at the University of Alabama was suspended Monday after a presidential candidate said she was assaulted in her home. The incident was never proven but popularly attributed to the "Machine."

...Bromberg nomination stalls in Legislature
Battles continue in Montgomery this week over a University of Alabama System trustee's reappointment to the board. Rep. John Rogers, D-Birmingham, voiced his concerns to the committee last week claiming trustee Frank Bromberg Jr.is "anti-UAB."

Yeah, I noticed the UAB logo too. Wow.

And I wonder what Dye did with the UAB rocking chair.

Frank Bromberg was "anti-UAB"? Wasn't he the one who resigned in order to facilitate the appointment of Paul Bryant, Jr.? He certainly did UAB no favors with that move.

Weren't Frank and Frank Jr. members of the Golden 100 Club in the early days at the Coliseum? Or are they even still?

My name is in that article...

Also there is a picture of April England signing the petition, her dad is a current trustee.

I know their company still has season tickets, mid-court behind scorer's table. I get them for 80+% of the games, because nobody else there usually wants them.

Bromberg & Delchamp & Drummond were all anti-UAB on the BOT before Cubby Bear got a seat.

Yep, he is the one who screwed UAB.

It's not so much "anti-UAB" is that it's so pro-Tuscalousy that any growth or success at UAB or Huntsville is seen as a direct threat to "mama".

Read old Baxley ads about how he's not going to let those Birmingham carpetbaggers get control of "our" beloved BoT.

Hell, people still run for office using that line. They couch it as if they are under siege.

Wait. Never mind. Turns out I DO want to take the castle.

Bromberg's has been an official sponsor of UAB Basketball for awhile.
