Any school that carries the States name is going to have a problem with sidewalk alumni. Bama fans take it to another level due to the fact that most of their lives they have had to look up when on the ladder of life. The one thing they could beat their chest with was the UAT Football program. Over time they used the football success as an excuse to look down on the part of society that turned their nose to them.

The UA alumni's problem is this false sence of grandeur they have about attending "the University".

The same way Auburn people are acting in this very thread while referring to Auburn?

That's BS. I have 3 close family members, including my wife, that graduated from UA. They are not vocal in the least bit about how great and all-powerful UA is. They're all very gracious and humble.

Oh yes, the AU fan favorite. Just in case we all were wondering if you were talking about the UAB or UAH fan base. Thanks for clarifying that you meant UAT.
