That anyo...Thanks for an insightful comment, @1:21. That anyone would even think of tinkering with the success UAB's had--as the No. 1 economic driver in the state's No. 1 market--is hard to fathom. The Bryant crowd, however, has always been selfish and short-sighted and fearful of change. That's largely why cities like Nashville, Memphis, Charlotte, and Jacksonville have left us in the dust in terms of professional sports. What is it they call Atlanta--"The city that's too busy to hate"? Well, Birmingham has been "the city that always has time for hate"--and that's largely because of people who think like P. Bryant Jr. and his lackeys.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-29262407860306794482015-06-08T13:21:36.776-05:002015-06-08T13:21:36.776-05:00The BoT underestimated the blowback.

What scares me is the sneak attack through bureaucratic means, the transfer of programs and funds, things like that. The new hire from UA to head admissions will have a lot of influence in the types of students recruited, and the ones who are subtly encouraged to "seek a fuller college experience" down the road a piece.<br /><br />Go and take a look at the Mission Statements of UAB and UAH - how they read now and the Statement that they replaced, and tell me that there's nothing going on. Undergrad has been written out of UAB's.<br /><br />Stay awake and keep fighting, Blazers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-85619100263048394322015-06-03T00:29:27.496-05:002015-06-03T00:29:27.496-05:00Plan B is right!

PBJ and St. John never dreamed UAB supporters would rise up like they did. My guess is that this is the start of Plan B to kill UAB football. The bad guys didn't think they would have to use this plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
