By La Tech fans but funny The top ten UAB budget cuts proposed by the University of A

I need a good laugh these days

10. The UAB Rifle team must now kill and prepare their own food due to student-athlete meal reductions.

9. In an effort to reduce travel expenses, the UAB Cross Country team will stop riding the bus and will start running to all their competitions.

8. To save space and money on electricity, the UAB Athletics staff will be relocated to Sub-Basement B of the Bartow Arena.

7. The U of A Board will decline a bowl invite on UAB’s belief in order to maintain Alabama football’s dominance in the state keep the UAB football players focused on their academic activities.

6. The U of A Board will lay off the janitorial staff at Bartow Arena and have the men’s and women’s basketball teams clean the bathroom and take out the trash during halftime at each basketball game.

5. UAB will replace future road games against Tennessee and Kentucky with games against Alabama at Tuscaloosa to give Alabama a guaranteed victory reduce travel expenses.

4. UAB football’s new throwback jerseys will actually be old “hand-me-down” uniforms from the University of Alabama football program.

3. Instead of offering paid jobs for UAB student athletes, the U of A Board will offer the students unpaid internships in which they will spend twenty hours a week counting the money Alabama gets from the SEC Network.

2. The U of A Board will cancel the cable subscriptions at all UAB Athletics facilities and replace them with a non-stop radio marathon of the Paul Finebaum Show.

And, the #1 UAB budget cut proposed by the U of A Board of Trustees…

1. UAB must reduce its sports medicine spending to order to raise enough money to pay for Nick Saban’s Viagra bill.

Some of them have strike-thrus. "Give Alabama a guaranteed victory" is a strike-thru.

Hey Legalblazer. I'm the author of the article on LaTechReport.com. Glad you enjoyed it.

Numbers #7 & #5 had portions which are strikethrough. They are supposed to look like this:

7. The U of A Board will decline a bowl invite on UAB’s belief in order to maintain Alabama football’s dominance in the state keep the UAB football players focused on their academic activities.

5. UAB will replace future road games against Tennessee and Kentucky with games against Alabama at Tuscaloosa to give Alabama a guaranteed victory reduce travel expenses.

Don't worry guys us Tech fans are behind you'll. We have to deal with LSU in Louisiana so we know what it feels like. We are part of the U of L system not the LSU system but a few years ago LSU wanted to move La Tech to their system since we are the only other public Tier I school in LA. Glad it did not happen.

Anyway you'll can go to hell tomorrow at 11 and during the game! After that we will be pulling for you and I really hope that this ends in a big positive for your programs.

I heard the news while I was on the road for work this afternoon. I'm so sorry to hear about what happened to the UAB football, rifle, and bowling teams today. The decision and announcement by the U of A Board of Trustees and the UAB President is an example where cronyism, pettiness, and self-interest trump common sense and fair play.

I still hope that somehow UAB can pull off a miracle and save the football program and also declare its independence from the Board of Trustees. Your football team gave Louisiana Tech a hell of a fight a few weeks ago. It looked like Bill Clark was turning around a football program that suffered for a long time. Good luck with everything in Birmingham, and good luck with taking down Alabama's version of the Evil Empire!
