You mean where we sentenced the two main culprits to death (one of who has been executed, and the other is awaiting execution)? (The third person was given a life sentence since there wasn't enough to show that he had racist motives)

Agreed. That does not negate the fact that UA BoT is wrong for doing this.
What do you think Mr. Lowder would say if AUm had a money losing FBS program down the road from AU and wanted to build a $75MM stadium?
Pretty sure I know what his answer would be.....

I agree with you, but again I would not defend it.

You guys were notorious for having the worst BOT when Lowder and his cronies ran the show.

I don't think "Lil Bear" is threatening to shut down the Medical School or the accompanying research facilities, so UAB should continue to generate that $1.
Be careful because that might be the next rumor on tRant.
I guess 29 years ago, when my alma mater (Texas-Arlington) shut down its football team, it was really part of a conspiracy by Longhorn backers not wanting some upstart commuter school to grab its recruits. If we would have only known, we'd still have a program AND could borrow the JerryDome for our games.

I know there are a lot of racists in Boston and Chicago. But nowhere in the country compares to Chalmette, Louisiana/St. Bernard Parish. When I was working a fema project down there, half the days, I would be start the day listening to a random old woman's racist rant.
My favorite quote (from a project manager with one of Louisiana's biggest contractors)? While a group of guys were talking about black people and wanting then gone, he said "I could live without lsu football."

You should press charges for what Bama has done to you. It's really sad and pathetic to witness.

JD Crowe is the statewide cartoonist for the Alabama Media Group.
Clearly no one thinks the BoT is responsible.

But I was always told they are hacks that are in the pockets of UAT and all things Bammer.

I think that might have been his point. Not sure, but if it was, it kinda shows that if people who are usually "in the pockets of UAT" are calling them out, then it's pretty bad

A rogue booster who was not an alumnus and not involved in the governance of the university in any way....his only involvement was donating $$$ to the AD....he was disassociated over 20 years ago and his donations returned. Weak sauce.... and besides, Bama paid a very high price for his shennanigans which by the way, it was never proved that anyone at UA knew what he was doing.

I don't know about all this b.s. being slung at Bear Jr. I do know that UA under this BOT has record enrollment, record academic metrics, and is raking in the dough.... exceeding anything at AU currently.

JD Crowe don't care. He's a liberal (mostly political) cartoonist in Alabama. That takes balls. I'm honestly surprised he works for amg

Yea, if Lil Bear is running things at UA behind the scenes then let him keep on keeping on. Things at UA are fantastic right now.

that has more to do with Nick Saban and his success at Alabama than anything the BOT is doing.

No, it has everything to do with Bob Witt. Saban's success is a part of it, but Witt started this long term plan during Shula's era with buildings and fundraising and it has continued to explode ever sense.
The Saban success has really helped in terms of get kids from large, out of state urban areas to come visit campus. At that point the University and campus speaks for itself.

lol at Logan Young being a rogue booster. I believe ole Logan himself has mentioned his close relationship with people like Bear Bryant and Mal Moore.
I couldn't give a damn about Alabama's enrollment. Auburn actually attracts a higher caliber of students if you go by the high school GPA's and ACT scores of their students that is actually released by the schools themselves

Who was always in the locker room, who called Mal on thousands of occasions, who was so tied into coaches and a booster for 30 years. Going to the school has nothing to do with it. He was the original bagman. Nothing rogue about it.

Takes two to tango broseph......the University is doing extremely well off the grid-iron too and that is on the BOT not Saban...he runs the football team which is and was a cash cow before Saban ever got there....which goes back to the original point of why they don't want a succesful UAB football program. Don't frick with it. Why is that so difficult for you all to understand?

Exactly, some Alabama posters on here just feel the need to defend anything Alabama does. When you look at the pattern of how the UA BoT has treated UAB and UAH, I think most reasonable people would agree the BoT is not a very good steward of its satellites.
