As obnoxious as their fans (well the 15 fans that they have) are we need to pull for them since they lost to two of our opponents this year. I guess this means that we have to pull for Thugessee this weekend as well.
 
No way, it won't help us anyway. The only thing that will help us is to keep winning and teams ahead of us losing. I will be pulling hard for Memphis to pound UAB.
 
My wife has 3 degrees from UAB. A few weeks ago I asked her if she wanted to go watch a game. She said, "Not no, but hell no." A few minutes later she asked, in all seriousness, "Does UAB play real college teams?"

I have no annomosity toward UAB. In fact, I would describe my feeling as apathetic. I just don't care and I don't think many other Bama fans care one way or the other about them, either.

UAB has a football team?

Not much of one. They do have a pretty good QB.

They went to their first bowl last year. The year before they had a 6-5 record but no bowl. They advertise on TV & newspaper to get folks to show up.

Their lasgest crowd was 40,00+. Their last crowd was 31,000.
 
Hackney is fun to watch, but I cannot and will not pull for UA wanna B.

'Course I ain't got no use for Memphis, either...

UAB Bashing

What's with all the UAB bashing? They are no threat to Bama...ever. We should wish them success because that means less money they get from us for their athletic program. Let's no forget that we are technically the same school...they are just a remote campus. We are "The University of Alabama" and they are "The University of Alabama at Birmingham". We even have the same school seal with just the words "at Birmingham" added to it.

Another thing is that I know every Crimson-bleeding Bama fan was a UAB fan when they played against UT earlier this season. And if you weren't then you just can't remember that you were. So I am cheering for the Blazers tonight. I will also be cheering for the Irish against Fulmer's team this weekend. Who else wants to see them 3-5? A team that "refused to be .500" going into our game hasn't won a game in 4 weeks (counting the off week).

RTR!
 
I hope UAB loses but will not actually watch the game. My hope is that if they keep losing they will just go away and will stop sucking money from us.

I was pulling for UTK vs UAB, if UAB had beaten UTK, the 4 UAB fans would have called the talk shows and claim how they had beaten UTK. I have no love for UAB with all 4 of their fans always calling Bama UAT. They also have the famous Gene Bartow and his famous letter to the NCAA. I used to go to basketball games while a student there, and pull for Bama in football. Since not so Clean Gene decided to write the NCAA, I had no use for UAB since. I wish UAB and UTK would get the death penalty in all sports. UAB fan (s)at the beginning of the season were caliming they were at least the second best team inthe state.
Behind Auburn. Well they are Behind Auburn, but they also havent beaten Southern miss or UTK, and plus they probably have the 3rd best QB in the state. No love for them. I will be rooting for memphis big time.

Alabama-Birmingham

I formerly had hoped that the little team that couldn't would somehow learn to could. But after listening and reading what their vocal fans have to say, I loathe everything about the Blazed. I sincerely hope that their "football team" loses so many games that not even the parents of the players will come to watch them play. I truly wish that their utterly futile attempts at D-1 football fail miserably, ending in severe financial ruin for their athletic department. They are truly a pathetic bunch.

Trust me...

The majority of their fans would never cheer for us in a similar situation. They have a deep hatred towards us, and that is not going to change.

Yeah UAB fans hate our guts...but so do most programs. That's what you get when you're the one who has all of the championships.
