re: OT spin-off. Join date

Many of those who post here, particularly the OT Lounge, the OT, and the political forum are simply full of hate and are on the wrong side of history. ...

I joined a couple of years ago. I’m not here much anymore because this site is so bad. Generally speaking, most of the people who post here make up the worst of the worst of our society. We are a nation that had Dr. King as well as the KKK. I bet you can answer which side this site would fall on. Th...
re: Offseason Thread- How has the Rant helped you in your real life?

It’s helped me realize that racism is alive and well. Also, this site has confirmed to me that the South is inherently dumb. ...

[quote]Although while I've seen some animosity towards UAB on this board before, for those who actually live around Birmingham I would say the problem was more ambivalence. A lot of people didn't seem to care one way or the other about UAB despite the huge impact on the city and surrounding area. Th...

[quote]Ha! You’ll likely end up visiting this website postgame, ridiculing us and saying what most SEC fans have said this year; “Those fans are so nice, they’re creepy/awkward/uncomfortable.” That’s just our way. But trust me when I tell you that it’s 100% genuine ; we’re glad to host you. No nee...

Wow! Thanks for the information!! :bow:

[quote] believe it goes back to Bama alums feeling slighted at the medical school rightfully being rebranded for UAB. When Gene Bartow started the basketball program and gave life to the Athletic Department, and the basketball team became hugely successful in the 80s making the Sweet 16 in year 3 a...

[quote]Don’t be so defensive. It was a compliment to the coaches’ and players’ determination in the face of overwhelming odds.
They have some new offices, etc., and a new covered open air practice field. I’ll give you that. But you just admitted they’ll be playing in that apocalyptic death trap ...

If it wasn't for Bear Jr and the Bama BOT sabotaging UAB and their athletics then they probably would be right now. It wasn't that long ago that their CUSA rivals included teams like Louisville, Memphis, Cincinnati but they all left UAB in the dust as did many other schools who came and w...

[quote]I love the UAB support.
It’s what cfb is all about,
Really lookin’ forward to this game![/quote]
Thanks man! I’m a Bama/UAB alum but my schedule never worked out where I could see Bama play in College Station. My schedule works out where I can see my Blazers play at Kyle Field and I’m...
re: UAB ranked 25th Bill Clark hottest unknown coach in the country

[quote]I've been advocating for Bill Clark since he got UAB bowl eligible in 2014. People who don't live in Birmingham really don't know the extent of everything he's done for the program and UAB as a whole. The impact he's had off the field in building this program has truly been awesome to watch. ...

[quote]Bill Clark has been amazing. Both this year and before. But he's done everything in the state of Alabama. Now if Auburn suddenly looks for a new HC then if they don't hire Bill Clark then they are on some drugs I need to sample thank you. Can he be great outside of his personal area? Tha...

[quote]Teams like FSU, Louisville USC etc should hire him.[/quote]
I hope they don't but I'm also realistic. He's a hell of coach. People forget what he did at JSU too. ...

[quote]Haven't been able to watch as many UAB games as I'd have liked since they've mostly played on beIN which got dropped by DirecTV right before the season. But from what I've been able to see, I like Tyler Johnston a whole lot better than Erdely. Erdely is the definition of pedestrian, he's no...

[quote]Big UAB fan & alum here. We aren't going to beat Texas A&M. Our QB play is too shoddy[/quote]
I'm a UAB alum and I have to agree with you. A&M is solid against the run and that is what we do best. Our passing game is suspect even though we have two solid receivers in Kailon Carter and Xavi...

[quote]That's because the UAB fanbase is made up mostly of barners grasping for something to be proud of this football season. [/quote]

[quote] They have shite for facilities, stadium, resources and fan base, but they bring it. [/quote]
This could not be more wrong. UAB and the city of Birmingham have invested an assload of money into improving facilities and we get a new stadium downtown in 2021. The new football complex is gorg...

[quote]No hell they won’t. They haven’t beaten anybody worth a shite. They are a good G5 team. They had to go to OT to beat USM last night. A&M by at least 24 or more.[/quote]
You're probably right. C-USA sucks something awful this year. However, I'm still hoping we show up and at least make a go...
