Right off the bat the first one is wrong.

Quote:So what the heck is a Blazer? This refers to the name of the school's mascot -- Blaze the Dragon...

No, I'm pretty sure Blaze's name refers to the Blazers name which has been around since before he existed. The actual origins of the name is Trail Blazers.

Quote:Are there any famous athletes from UAB? Sure. There's golfer Graeme McDowell, winner of the 2010 U.S. Open. McDowell – a native of Northern Ireland – played on the UAB golf team from 1998-2002. And UAB track star Vonetta Flowers, with partner Jill Bakken, won a gold medal in bobsledding, of all things, at the 2002 Winter Olympics

No mention of probably the most relevant famous athlete to most out-of-towners, All-Pro NFL wide receiver Roddy White.

What do you expect for clickbait articles from the new Buzzfeed wannabe AL.com?

This article and the ones about Alabama and Auburn were a complete waste of energy.

I wonder how long this writer has been in B'ham? It seems to be a made up interview with themselves.
