I'm confused why they were allowed to do this in the first place.

WTF is wrong with UT

I love that picture. Had me rolling.

As far as the article goes I had no idea that we allowed Alabama to meet on our campus. Screw us for that mistake. But it does seem petty to kick them out after all this time. Surely they can find another location more suitable than on our campus. I can think of a multitude of downtown hotel conference rooms they can use.

I'd be suing their butts for discrimination, but then they are so broke you would get nothing.

WTH? Can the Bama folks not find a more suitable, appealing place to have lunch than UT's campus?

Nauseating as hell to try to eat lunch in puke orange surroundings.

is being a Bama alum a handicap?... if so, then they need to lawyer-up.

Eh I don't think there's anything wrong with giving the Bama alums the boot. I worked in the admissions office at Alabama for over a year and you're not supposed to wear any other college gear there and it's all about trying to recruit students for your school.

Agreed, I would think a Golden Corral or Ryan's would do the trick. Either of those should be a comfortable setting for those fine folks.

They didn't meet in the admissions office. They met in the UT visitors center, which also served as the starting point for some of the campus tours. But the facility is designed as a meeting space with banquet rooms, catering kitchen, etc. It's not like having a UT group meet in 203 Student Services at UA.

That is the last time I want to hear about a UT/Bama rivalry. That shite would have never been allowed with a true rivalry.
