The unofficial online home for fans of the UAB Blazers. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

At the last tailgate we were talking about growing the Tailgat scene at both home basketball games and baseball games.


I think we should encourage all Blazers to promote on all Social Media and other outlets to promote the tailgate scene at the Final regular season game Sat Feb 28th. Hopefully the weather is kind.

Other input? Anyone ?

I was debating on doing just that myself- do we want to have another simple burger/dogs BT tailgate for MTSU?

Yes, the more, the merrier. I also brought various sausages brats too last time.

If y'all need extra grill, food, cook, music or awning let me know

Students used to camp out. Not sure where that tradition went

Out the window when false promises were made.

Or out the window when no team on our schedule could sell Bartow out (like Memphis) and limit the number of student tickets issued for that game. And this is one problem that can't be blamed on old' Doc Watts.

Did I miss something? Did someone mention Watts in this thread?

Can someone repost this on the Facebook Free UAB page?

We stopped having conference opponents worth camping out for.

Why would that matter? Aren't real fans there to see UAB and not their opponents?

If your statement is true, I guess we are to assume there are not many real UAB fans among the students.

It's fan appreciation day for basketball AND baseball...
