That's the type of thinking that is causing problems. It isn't a commuter school and has some outstanding bio med research. There is a lot of resentment at the school because UAT gets more funding due to its football program and general state wide support when UAB does a tremendous amount of research.


Frankly, I'm sick and tired of UAB people whining about their resentment of UAT. If anyone should be resentful it's the main campus having IT'S medical school hijacked from it. You guys are whining about support or lack thereof for a frickin football program. Give us our medical school back and you'll probably get everything you desire from the BOT plus you still get to be associated with the medical complex on your campus. Everybody wins in that scenario. You just have to swallow a little pride and admit you hijacked the medical school and give it back. No hard feelings once that happens.

UAB should step down about the med school. It's a combined program and being a d*ck won't make it better.


THANK YOU!!! This is a side of the UAT/UAB rift that UAB, it's cheerleaders, and fellow UAT despisers never bother to acknowledge.

I grew up in Birmingham and graduated from Georgia Tech. I have always followed UAB since I tend to support stuff from my hometown. Like UAB, Georgia Tech is in the middle of a large city. Georgia Tech has done a better job of keeping a campus feel and look. I wish UAB would close off additional streets to keep some of the outside traffic away. Closing streets, an OCS, and the continued construction of dorms would make a huge difference.

UAB has kept Birmingham alive for about the last 30 years. The city and state owe a lot to them. I'm always shocked at the amount of hatred that Bama fans express towards UAB in the news article comments on AL.com. They go out of their way to post trash talk on articles totally unrelated to anything associated with the Crimson Tide.

I live in Texas, so I'll be cheering for UAB with my boys at the Houston game in a few weeks. Go Blazers!!!
