Nobody wants to get carjacked on to way to and from Legion Field...or robbed trying to park.
How about LaTech and Louisville. Both from states with only one SEC school.

If there was ever any doubt that TiM was an ITAT'er, this thread has proven otherwise.

How about you enlighten all of us as to why I am an "ITAT'er".
Since as a bama fan you appear to be more familiar than I am as an Aubie with an Auburn board.
Not that that is surprising I suppose.

What's surprising is the amount of time you've wasted trying to convince everyone of the "evils" of THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA BOT. You are exactly what you contend to hate and you've done just exactly what you just tried to accuse me of. You're just too full of blind hatred to see otherwise.
And for the record, I don't venture to ITAT. But one doesn't have to. Their hair-brain ideas and conspiracies make their way away soon enough. They're not unlike the idiots of the ATPB thread from three years ago.
That all being said, I can't figure you out. Either you're the most elaborate troll since Bundy, or you're actually as conspiracy filled as you seem.

Were you drunk with your friends when you came up with this stupid idea?

No real convincing is necessary. I laid out the facts and the track record. People can decide for themselves. Most of the time I spent was correcting blatant stupidity in this thread (like UAB is an extension of UAT).

Well, that makes two of us. I have had an account over there for 6,7, or 8 years. I'm really not sure. I have made about 5 posts and visit that board about 3 times a year (although I have nothing against it personally).

I do not buy conspiracy BS. The simplest answer is usually correct and I do not see where you draw any conspiracy parrallels in this thread. The actions of the UAT BOT speak for themselves and "most" agree as to why which is as I have stated - to prevent UAB from fielding a competitive and a respectable team out of concerns of how it will affect Bama football.
Personally, I think UAT's BOT and Bryant Jr have behaved in a very childish, insecure, and devious manner regarding UAB. But everyone can view it how they like.

They are all part of the University of Alabama System.
Honestly, how many times must that be repeated. The medical school existed long before UAB as well. It was in Mobile once upon a time.

You keep rehashing this dribble from the talking heads during Alabama's treacherous time during the Shula years. But if the BOT every "feared" an athletic department at UAB they never would have funded a football program to being with. Or any other financial backing in athletics.

Fisher ended up in a much better position that resulted in a damn good job at FSU. He could have easily ended up like Watson Brown or Neil Calloway - a disaster in the making.

Why do you annoy yourself so much TiM?
Is someone paying you to drive this anti-Bama/anti-UA BOT/anti-Bryant, Jr. agenda?

UAB is a seperate autonomous, independent university with very little ties to UAT. They have separate endowments, separate administrations, governments, and everything imaginable. They are only part of the same system in a very broad top level sense in that there is oversight by the same BOT due to them being part of the state of alabama public university system. It has been this way since 1969 when the state legislature relued UAB was an independant institution, seperate and apart from UAT.
Saying or implying UAT and UAB have much of anything in common or related is simply not accurate. They are seperate independent institutions. Sorta like Jefferson and Baldwin counties are two completely separate counties with different school super intendants and completely separate systems in every way accept they are both subject to oversight by the Alabama Board of Education.
Now, that you have been "educated" maybe you will understand the relationship better.

Also, you do not understand the history here as well. Gene Bartow was responsible for UAb founding a football team and the UAT BOT never intended or believed they would become a D1 program. However, the UAT BOT could not prevent it and had no say so in the matter.

Why does an Auburn fan in Miami, FL like yourself get so worked up about the relationship between the Alabama BOT in Tuscaloosa, AL and the University of Alabama-Birmingham?

I grew up in Bham and was in school at AU with friends at UAB during the time much of this stuff happened, so I am pretty familiar with all of it.
Additionally, growing up in Bham, I spent many nights, at the BJCC at UAB Bball games (think it was at the BJCC then). Then some games at the new arena once it was built. Back then, the big thing was UAT's refusal to play UAB in basketball because UAB generally had a better team. Bartow called bama out on it for years.
Also, played a couple of games in highschool at their arena in basketball and and a HS football game at legion field.

So what continues to get you so hot and bothered about something that happened when Bartow was at UAB?
And I think most people in the state have some "friends" that attended UAB or are UAB 'fans,' but not even the UAB people are anywhere near as butthurt as you. I guess I just don't understand why you care so much that you get so aggravated and meltdown over it? Because you played some games in their gym? Because you're familiar with it? I can't tell you how many things I'm familiar with that I don't give a shite about. Just trying to understand what pushes your buttons on this topic besides Alabama obsession, because you insist that isn't it.

Honestly the misinformation, and uninformed BS is what annoys me. I am obviously a lot more familiar with the UAB/UAT dynamic and history than many here.
So you say I am just posting crap about it because I hate bama. While I certainly do not like bama, what I have been posting is factually accurate and what annoys me is the denial of factually accurate statements due to blind homerism in support of bama with no basis in reallity or leg to stand on.
Quit saying stuff that is not true and is inaccurate, I have no reason to respond.

Fair enough 
I just don't understand why anybody besides maybe a diehard UAB fan (if there is one) really gives a damn enough to argue about it. Just singled you out because you seem far more worked up than most 
I just don't see what the hell it matters one way or the other.

TiM for some reason has a passion for UAB, even though he lives in Miami and is an AU fan.

I just tend to get worked up too easy in general.
It's all good though. I'll move along.
