Why Do Bama Fans Not Support UAB?

uab gets all the love they need from espn.

I hope that uab loses everytime they step onto the field - not because I don't like uab, but because they could possibly hinder our recruiting efforts in the future if they were to have sustained success.

I also hope that troy loses everytime they step onto the field - same reasons.

I'm not indifferent in this matter as I would never say something like "I don't care if they win or lose" - No.....no no....I do care if they win or lose.
I WANT THEM BOTH TO LOSE EVERY GAME THEY PLAY.

The syncophants at espn understand this and have done everything they can short of televising all uab and troy home games.

Expect a continuance of the love fest as I suspect that espn will resume it's puppy love crush with uab and troy state.
 
I really don't think UAB will become a national power guys, how many recruits have they taken away from UA? How many times have you thought, man there is a big time recruit in Hoover, I hope UAB doesn't take him away from us. UAB usually takes all the leftovers, and gives them a chance to play. It is a school of medicine and believe me they are more serious about medicine than a football game. I work at UAB and proudly wear my crimson and white at work when I can. Believe it or not just as many AU fans reside here as well. There is absoluetly no way that UAB will make up 100+ years of traditon that Alabama has in say 5-6 years. And as far as "thining the talent", there is enough football in this state to go around. Even if the talent is low in AL, I think we have proved we have the ability to recruit from almost anywhere. If there is truley a C-USA team we need to be concerned with it should be USM not UAB.
 
Uab

I can tell you one thing for sure..........I live in Bham and actually went to Grad school at UABSO for my Doctorate,and I will tell you that most UAB fans spew venom and have a huge red headed step child syndrome toward UA! In fact many claim that the UA system draws money away from UAB and is the reason thier program is in the red! They talk as if this is a fact and yet can not understand why thier team draws only 5-10,000 fans a game and makes no money.......yet thier players draw large expense monies and enjoy many benefits that the UA players do not! I can also tell you that at the last 2 UA vs barn games that most of them pull hard for the barn and are worse than barn fans with thier UA hate!Yes, I find it hard to feel love for UAB fans and program!

I root for UAB in every one of their games. I went to 3 UAB home games last season, even one in a downpour. I consider myself a die hard alabama fan. My heart is with my beautiful crimson tide. With that said, I am not to sure why others dont pull for them.

I went to a lot of Charger hockey games growing up in H-ville. Loved every minute of it. It beats the heck out of the ECHL team in B-ham for both action and environment. While I can't say for sure, I'd be willing to bet that UAH doesn't run a fiscal deficit from their sports programs like UAB does...I know even if they do it's not to the tune of 6 million plus.
 
Out of the loop.

Not to be harsh but I think anyone who can still ask that question must be out of the loop or too young to remember recent history. I went to a UAB basketball game back in the early days of the program but if I have regretted it ever since the antics of Gene Bartow towards "THE" University of Alabama. I think the real question is why any Bama fan would WANT to support UAB. Also, the ugly behavior of a lot of the UAB fans alone is enough of a reason for me. I still haven't figured out how the football program has survived with an average attendance of 275 people.
 
I used to go to the Basketball games in the late 80's until the thing with bartow writing the NCAA to investigate Alabama, that turned me off of UAB after that. Havent been to a game since. Nor will I ever. Maybe if they supported us i might be apt to support them.
 
I performed at a halftime show at UAB; it was fun but I don't really support them, nor do I hate them. I am focused on being a BAMA fan and that's really about all that matters to me. Every other team can just.. well you get the pic.
 
Hey, Terry P.

I didn't mean to disparage UAH in my previous post. I hope it didn't come off as such. I'll bet Charger hockey is even more exciting now that they are D1 in that sport.

My support of UAB is similar to rollntider. The first college basketball game I ever attended was a UAB-Auburn game in the BJCC. It was when Barkley was at the Barn. I pulled for UAB, of course. I also attended an NIT game one year in Bartow Arena. Once I became aware of Gene Bartow's antics with regards to Alabama, that turned me off completely in my support of UAB. And as long as the UAB fans continue to spew their rants about UA on talk radio, I'll never support UAB. I'll bet I'm not the only one that thinks that way.
