I think they photoshopped some white arms in there...

Nah, about 20% of our 33,000 students are minorities. We cant have 6000 on the football and basketball teams.

Is that their percentage in no-show classes or on campus in general?

[AlabamAlum]

What?

[hedge]

Not many asians or native hawaiians on the football team. But even with only a 12% black student population, it would be hard to place them all on the football team...

[AlabamAlum]

13%.

But yeah. Although Saban would love 4500.

[hedge]

How many graduate students does Saban have on the roster?

[aTm]

I would assume that Bama would have a fairly high Hispanic segment given it's proximity to Birmingham.

[AlabamAlum]

Somewhere around 1000 hispanic students.

We even have a food truck that specializes in enchiladas now!

And, according to UA and the young black man in question, the photo is NOT altered.

FOX6 reporter Josh Gauntt tracked down the young man in the picture, David Jackson. He's a junior economics major who says that without a shadow of a doubt, it's him.

"It's definitley my hand," he said.

Jackson says he can't believe people would try and make something like this up. The University has recently been embroiled in discrimination allegations but Jackson says this is anything but that.

I didn't really think it was a fake, sometimes the colors don't jibe on everything due to lighting or whatever. But I didn't let that stop me from sassing Alabama...

Saban lashes out at Bama fans. Says you'd never see this type of behavior in Austin

Heh@Austin.

It's the student section. They empty out at the start of the third quarter in blowouts.

[AugustWest]

Why would you leave at the start of the third quarter instead of just leaving at the half?

[10ac]

What, and miss the Million Dollar Band?

[10ac]

I remember a UT - UA game in the 70s where the "flag girls?" came out braless. That was an amazing sight back then. I forget who won but the head lights were amazing.

[AlabamAlum]

Heh@10ac.

actually, they stay through the halftime because they'll lose their reserved seating if they leave too early.

Oh my. Raw, bold, up front, in your face decadence. If there is a Starbuck's in the vicinity where the fine, outstanding folks of the community can get a Soy Latte, then this is truly heaven on Earth.

With all the sister & cousin loving going on down there which leads to the inevitable mutations occurring in that general area, it's hard to say what is going on in that picture.

[Jungle Rat]

Well looks who has finally left the UT forum womb.
