Really?Two words: Gene Bartow.
In the year 2014?
It's not like UAB competes with Alabama in, well, dang near anything... I mean...let it go.
Yes, I'm from B'ham, and grew up during the Sanderson-Bartow era. But I was too young to know about the recruiting stuff going on in the background. And now that I'm older, frankly, I don't care. This is not a "rivalry", in any sense whatsoever. I guess I would have to be old enough to "get" the hate.
But I digress...
