I have never felt that supporting the Blazers required such abandonment of my feelings engendered over decades before UAB football even existed.

Can it be supposed that such a Blazer "fan" could abandon UAB at some future time for some new "flavor of the month" program just as they demand of me?

You made me laugh. Finally, after all these years on the board. Vituperative. Hilarious. Thanks.

I have no problem with you loving the evil empire. So does my dad. I dont want you to abandon UAT. I just dont want to constantly read UAT references on this board, particularly when most of the references are pointless insertions. Really,’ in a thread about UAB vs Brown basketball what makes you think that UAB fans want to hear that Homer Smith from Alabama FOOTBALL has a divinity degree from an Ivy League school?

Its not complicated. Talk about your beloved UAT on a UAT board. Talk about UAB on this one. Please.

Why do I care? In general,’UAT represents the very worst example of corrupt but successful college sports. More specifically, elements of their fanbase, boosters and board have caused enormous harm to not just UAB, but to our entire state. I could argue at length that UAT and the power base that flows from that cesspool is the ball and chain that keeps huge portions of Alabama operating at just slightly above third world status. My enmity and disdain for UAT is boundless and extends far beyond sports. UAT is a cancer that eats away at the prosperity and health of our state. And that may be sugar coating it.

So yeah, I dont want to hear about them daily on the UAB board. I think that is reasonable.
