re: UAB Medical School - Montgomery

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!!!
