Its not fear, its pettiness. Remember going back to 1977 when Gene Bartow was hired, Bear didn't want them to have a basketball team. "The University of Alabama system has a basketball team,its in Tuscaloosa."

Bartow and Bryant never saw eye to eye and Bartow didn't shine Bear's shoes like a lot of people thought he should have. Then Bartow and Wimp had some nasty,nasty recruiting battles with Wimp coming in at the 11th hour and winning most of them. The catalyst is Bartow supposedly said Bear was a cheater.

Over the years several very successful and normally reasonable UA BOT members did all they could do to diminish and devalue UAB athletics,and quite frankly anything UAB. This bunch fought for years about UAB having on campus dorms.

Now the ball has rolled back into Little Bear's court, who is a miserable little mean-spirited jerk. As for the "UAB President is doing this" that is not the whole story. Carol Garrison challenged this bunch and was fired.Now the Board has a lap dog who will roll over. He's just humoring these clowns.


basicallty a lot of truth in what you just stated regarding a lot of the bad blood.

Why don't you show some links disputing what I said?




You make shite up, and then want ME to provide links disproving them?

Pretty typical of an LSU fan, I guess.

People can't care about others getting screwed at the expense of a bunch of crooks? Maybe because all your fans keep claiming the same old crap that all these sleazy things and trashy stuff your school and fans do is normal or lies when it's not.


Then why is the cry of outrage coming only from fans of teams that don't like Alabama. When is the rest of the country going to come down and curse Bama for their moral bankruptcy?

For the people who dont know, UAB is the #1 economic presence in this state. They employ more people than any employer in this state and had a 4.2 billion dollar economic impact in the year of 2010 (all facts can be looked up in an econmic impact plan. google it!) 70% percent of revenue shared by the UA school system is produced by UAB.

I do not see any collection agencies knocking on their door. They have the money, the UA BOT is just not willing to spend it.

Those are all great. What bully's UA and Bear Jr are. Surely someone will step up and save poor little UAB.

I'd laugh now because if UAB ever is successful in pulling their money from the System Capital Fund you dipshits wont be able to afford to pay the power bill over there at brian dennehey stadium. and you ave pissed them off enough to lawyer up and start looking for ways. whistle on past the graveyard slick.

Dragons are scary. Imagine a real deal mythological dragon brought to life. Scary as shite.

Also the money being made at UAB is in the Med School and they are being taken care of just fine and give two shits about football so lawyering up is not going to happen
