Look Out Sec - Alabama Rates No. 1 as Nick Saban Prepares to Go to War

Copyright © 2008 Ed Bagley





If you think football in the Southeastern Conference is just a game that generates a ton of money for the schools and the NCAA that regulates it in a highly publicized environment, you do not understand what success is about in the SEC.





SEC games are not battles between teams, they are outright warfare with a fight to the last man standing won by heavy artillery (talent). That is why Wednesday's (2-6-08) first day of signing letters of intent by high school seniors was so significant. According to several analysts, Nick Saban and Alabama ranked No. 1 with the nation's best class of talent.





Among Rivals.com Top 50 prospects, Alabama picked up No. 4 Julio Jones, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound wide receiver from Foley (AL); No. 28 B. J. Scott, a 6-foot, 195-pound wide receiver-super athlete from Vigor (AL); No. 30 Tyler Love, a 6-foot-7, 290-pound offensive lineman from Mountain Brook (AL); No. 34 Jerrell Harris, a 6-foot-3, 215-pound linebacker from Gadsden (AL); and No. 35 Alonzo Lawrence, a 6-foot-1, 190 pound defensive back from George County (MS).





Add to that distinguished list No. 55 Mark Barron, a 6-foot-2, 202-pound athlete from Mobile (AL) and No. 60 Barrett Jones, a 6-foot-5, 271-pound offensive lineman from Memphis (TN), and no school in America had 7 of the Top 60 Rival.com prospects except Alabama.





Southern Cal had 6 in the Top 60, Ohio State had 5 and Notre Dame had 5. Notre Dame's recuiting class was rated No. 2 by Rivals.com, Ohio State's No. 8 and Southern California's No. 10.





Nick Saban, the highest paid college coach at about $4 million a year, earned his pay. Saban was able to sign 7 of the top 11 prospects in Alabama. Auburn did not have a single recruit among Rivals.com Top 100 prospects; the Tigers came up sucking pond water.





Look for Saban and the Crimson Tide to start a concerted march to a higher place as a current Division 1A powerhouse and national title contender. Should the Top 60 picks stay injury free and reach their potential on the college turf, they will most certainly be playing in the NFL on Sundays.





If you are not stoked about Alabama football you need to live in another state.





Three other schools catch my personal attention because I have ties to Washington, Arizona State and Michigan State.





Ty Willingham's Washington Huskies had the highest Rivals.com pick among these 3 teams with No. 57 Kavario Middleton, a 6-foot-6, 250-pound tight end from Lakewood (WA). Middleton was joined by his teammate, Jermaine Kearse, a 6-foot-2, 175 pound wide receiver.





Washington also signed Everrette Thompson, a 6-foot-6, 255-pound defensive end from Burien (WA); Alameda Ta'amu, a 6-foot-4, 330-pound (yes, 330 pounds!) offensive guard from Seattle; Allen Carroll, a 6-foot-3, 290-pound offensive guard from Oakland (CA); Chris Polk, a 5-foot-11, 195-pound running back with 4.5 speed from Redlands (CA); and Jordan Polk, 5-foot-10, 170-pound wide receiver with 4.46 speed from Portland (OR).





Washington's catch is being called the best recruiting class since Reggie Williams and Charles Frederick in 2001.





The Huskies also picked up some speed with linebacker Kurt Mangum (4.59), cornerbacks Adam Long (4.45), Anthony Gobern (4.4) and Justin Glenn (4.5), safety Johri Fogerson (4.55), and running backs Demitrius Bronson (4.5) and David Freeman (4.4). Let me be the first to dub Kurt Magnum as Magnum P.I. (Personal Intimidator) and Demitrius Bronson as Death Wish Bronson.





All of this comes as a surprise as Ty Willingham, unlike Nick Saban, does not have a rep as a recruiter. The fact that redstart freshman quarterback Jake Locker started last year and impressed almost everyone with his agility, speed and savvy probably did not hurt a lick.





Scout.com rated Washington's recruiting class as the 14th best among the NCAA's 119 Division 1A schools. Look for the Huskies to finally win more games than they lose next year. If they do not, Willingham may be looking for another job.





Scout.com rated Dennis Erickson and his Arizona State Sun Devils class as the 17th best nationally. Among Erickson's top prospects was Jack Elway, none other than the son of NFL Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway.





Jack Elway has his father's arm but apparently not his speed. Nonetheless, he comes from an excellent gene pool. In addition to his dad, his mother Janet was an outstanding college athlete as a swimmer for Stanford University.





Here are two facts you may not know about John Elway. 1) He may have played football at Stanford University but he was born and raised in Port Angeles (WA). 2) He had 47 career game-winning or game-tying drives in the 4th quarter, an NFL record.





Mark Dantonio and his Michigan State Spartans (my alma mater, Class of 1966) did not fare as well as Washington or Arizona State. Other than any local coverage in Michigan and a little among Big Ten teams, the Spartans received zero national attention. That tells me they ended up with the short end of stick, and that is indeed bad news.





Dantonio knows that Jim Tressel and his Ohio State Buckeyes are only going to get better; Dantonio was the defensive coordinator for Ohio State's undefeated (14-0) national championship team in 2002. Tressel also won 4 Division 1AA national championships at Youngstown State, and his won-loss record as head coach at Ohio State is a stunning 83% (73-15).





If Ohio State is not enough competition for Michigan State, Michigan will cause the Spartans headaches as well since Rich Rodriguez left West Virginia to coach the Wolverines next year.





Michigan has won more games than any other team in college football history, and now along comes Rodriguez, who spent 7 seasons at West Virginia compiling a 60-26 record (69%) with 4 Big East titles.





Rodriguez, 1 of only 2 Hispanic head coaches in Division IA football, went 32-5 (86%) his last 3 years at West Virginia. Rodriguez is great for Michigan; for Michigan State he is two legs and bad news. The Spartans may get the snot kicked out of them by Michigan for the next 5 years.





I am praying that Dantonio can find a couple of nuggets among the scrap heap of players that are left over after all of the good programs have used up their scholarship allotments. The Spartans need talent and speed immediately, they do not have nearly enough at the moment.





The justified enthusiasm among Crimson Tide fans at Alabama does need to be tempered by the knowledge that recruiting is not an exact science. While we know that the sun will come up tomorrow, we do not know how these recruits will play out.





What we do know is that coaching can make average players better; Rich Rodriguez is an example. His recent West Virginia recruiting classes were rated mid-30s to mid-50s yet he led the Mountaineers to 2 BCS bowl wins in the last 3 seasons, and he came within 1 win of playing for last year's national title.





We also know that a position player like a quarterback, who touches the ball on every play, can make a team much better. An example this year was Todd Reesing of Kansas who led the Jayhawks to a 12-1 record and an Orange Bowl victory. Reesing was rated a 2-star to 3-star player by the rating services (5 stars is best) yet he became a 5-star player when given the opportunity to do so.





Since many of these kids will become redshirts (meaning they will not play their freshman year) and become redshirt freshman (like Jake Locker of Washington) when they start playing their sophomore year. It may take all of 5 years to determine who among the many players just signed will become tomorrow's stars and NFL draftees.





In the meantime, I will be praying for Mark Dantonio and my Michigan State Spartans. I view myself as an important intercessor as the Spartans have continued to disappoint in recent years. Wherever they have been I do not want to go.

College Football Tickets - a Brief History

College football is just nothing else but American football played by teams fielded by the American colleges. These include teams from American universities, as well as from military academies. College football is very popular among college students, and it is through the American colleges that American Football has gained the stature it has today. College football developed from Rugby, a form of football played in England. Rugby reached North America through the British soldiers stationed in Canada, and became very popular in Canadian colleges.





The first game of ‘football’ played between two American college teams - Rutgers College and the College of New Jersey - was not a form of Rugby but more akin to soccer. This game, which Rutgers won 6-4, was played at College Field in New Brunswick, New Jersey, on November 6, 1869. Rutgers College is now the Rutgers University; College of New Jersey is now the Princeton University; and College Field is where, today, the College Avenue Gymnasium of the Rutgers University stands.





The first ‘rugby-style’ game of college football in the United States took place in 1875, between teams from Harvard and Yale. The credit of fashioning the game of American Football from rugby, by 1892, goes to the one time captain of the Yale football team – Walter Chauncey Camp. The most significant person in the history of American football, Camp has rightly been called the ‘Father of American Football.’





Camp pioneered the modern elements of scoring – at least most of them, the eleven man team, the traditional seven man line of offensive setup, the four man backfield, and the play from scrimmage. The college football became increasingly popular, and also more violent. After a series of player deaths in the collegiate games, Present Roosevelt, in 1906, threatened to ban the sport.





This caused the formation of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which formulated rules to govern the game. It was during these days that college football was the predominant way to American football. College football was where style of play and strategy innovations were made and then passed on gradually to the professional arena.





College football remains very popular, despite the rise and popularity of professional football in America. It is more popular in rural areas, and in the south, due to the lack of professional teams there. College football is very popular in places, such as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia, among others.





The Tickets





College football teams have as large a fan following as do the professional football teams, and their games draw more number of spectators than do the professional teams.





College football tickets are in great demand, and may not be easy to procure. You can safely forget to procure them from the venues of the games – they would be sold out. Your best alternative option - those ticket brokers. Legitimate and professional ticket brokers, such as have a successful history of helping you arrange college football tickets for the games of your choice.

Toomers Corner After 2010 BCS National Championship

The Tradition of rolling Toomers corner in Auburn, Alabama after the Auburn Tigers win a football game has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. This is the celebration of all the fans who couldn't make it to Arizona to support the team, but instead showed the nation how proud they were of the team after everything they went through during the season,and got the chance to represent the University and the State in 2010's BCS National Championship. This video is the first hour and thirty minutes of Toomers Corner being rolled. I filmed until I ran out of memory in my camcorder. The celebration continued well into the night.

South Alabama Football USA RESPONDS TO FIRST TEST WITH 39-21 WIN OVER NICHOLLS

For weeks, University of South Alabama head football coach Joey Jones has wondered how his team would respond to its first deficit, how it would handle the initial signs of adversity. The program's mentor had to like what he saw on Saturday. The Jaguars twice recovered from a seven-point deficit in the opening 15-plus minutes, and when Nicholls State drew within six after the break answered with a touchdown drive to earn a 39-21 victory over the Colonels Saturday in front of an announced crowd of 23174 at at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. "It speaks to the character of our kids and our coaching staff with the way they coach them. We try to work on that in practice where they don't feel pressure in games," he stated. "I thought that was a great way to respond. Had we not responded like that and they scored another touchdown, then the ball starts to roll their way." Down 14-7 with two-and-a-half minutes to go in the opening quarter, USA scored 20 unanswered points in the second quarter. Myles Gibbon rushed for 16 yards to pick up a first down, but left with an injury following the next play from scrimmage. Brennan Sim entered, and after a rush for nine yards he found Richard Ross down the middle for a 47-yard touchdown pass on the initial play of the second quarter, capping a six-play, 80-yard march. "I felt real comfortable with this team, and I feel like the guys up front made it easy for me to go out and execute," said Sim, who completed 10-of-12 attempts for career-high 185 ...

Utah Valley University Cops, Open Carry Part 1

I OPEN CARRIED ON CAMPUS FOR SIX MONTHS STRAIGHT before anyone called. Trolley Square, Utah, Virginia Tech, Columbine, Northern Illinois University, University of Alabama, University of South Florida, Dawson College: Montreal, Canada, Fort Hood, and Ohio State University just yesterday. For some reason, mass shootings like to occur on college campuses and other "Gun Free Zones". Perhaps it is because bad people go to where they know they will have the least resistance in carrying out their diabolical plans. I believe this to hold true from a petty thief all the way up to a fascist dictator. I did not break any laws www.utahconcealedcarry.com nor did I disrupt school activities as is evident from the videos I recorded. AFTER 6 MONTHS STRAIGHT of open carrying EVERYDAY, another student called in to campus police and asked if I was legally allowed to carry a gun. The student did not call in panic or to report a crime, it was simply a question, and I believe it should have been handled as such. When the officers approached me and I realized that it was not going to be a simple check to see if I had a Concealed Firearm Permit, and I when I realized that it was going to be my word and Utah law against the opinions of two law enforcement officers, I pulled out my iPhone and pressed record. I did so, not to make the officers look unintelligent but to have a personal record of the incident. My reasoning to press the matter beyond that is explained in great detail throughout dozens ...

"HORACE: The Bridge Builder King" Part IV

"HORACE: The Bridge Builder King" Part IV LINK TO PART V: www.youtube.com HORACE:The Bridge Builder King is an hour long documentary about a freed slave in the 1800s named Horace King. His Master, John Godwin always treated Horace as a partner or as an equal in all of their business dealings. He was well known around the south for constructing town lattice truss covered bridges. He was in the bridging building business from around 1820 until around 1885. Born in Cheraw District of South Carolina a slave. The Alabama Legislature freed Horace King on Feb 3, 1846 by an Act of the Legislature in order to keep his talents in Alabama. Horace built gun boats for the Confederate Navy during the Civil War and is likely, the only slave ever to have erected a moment on a master's grave. Horace did just that in 1859 and the monument is still located at the Godwin Cemetary in Phenix City, Alabama.

College Football - Only 5 Games Highlight First Week, 29 Others Must Win Their Opener

Ah, finally, the first kickoff of the 2008 NCAA college football season opens Thursday (8-28-08) with 14 games scheduled, followed by 2 games Friday, 55 games Saturday, 2 more Sunday and 2 Monday. The most interesting game for the opening night is Buffalo hosting Texas-El Paso (UTEP).

Two years ago Turner Gill took over the Buffalo head coaching job. He only went 2-10 his first year but did defeat Kent State University, the FIRST team with a winning record that the Bulls had defeated in 8 years. Buffalo had been a doormat in the NCAA for far too long.

Gill's Bulls went 5-7 last year and 5-3 in the Mid-American Conference, Buffalo's first conference winning record since the Bulls became a Division I-A school. Gill was named MAC Coach of the Year. Turner Gill was part of 3 national championships as a coach at Nebraska, and his positive influence in Buffalo is becoming evident.

UTEP is interesting because of Mike Price, the former Washington State University head coach who led the Cougars for 14 years, compiling three 10-win seasons (he was 20-5 his last two seasons) and 5 bowl appearances.

Alabama hired Price away from Washington State but he never coached the Crimson Tide due to an off-field incident that resulted in a lawsuit that Price won against Sports Illustrated magazine. Price led UTEP to two consecutive 8-4 seasons and two bowl appearances, but then has had back-to-back 5-7 and 4-8 seasons.

The Buffalo-UTEP game is the most interesting game because either Turner Gill and Buffalo are going to continue to ascend the ladder of success, or Mike Price and UTEP are going to make a comeback. One coach will win and one will lose in this confrontation. We will let you know what happens if you miss the results on the tube.

Here are my choices for the 4 other games of real interest this week, two of which involve teams ranked in AP's Preseason Top 25 Poll.

Nick Saban starts his second year at Alabama (ranked No. 24) by traveling to Clemson (No. 9) for his opener. This was not what he had in mind when he signed on with the Crimson Tide, but then again, this is the Southeastern Conference (SEC), also known as (aka) the suicidially-energized conference. Clemson from the Atlantic Coast Conference could be trouble with a capital T.

The Big 12's Missouri Tigers (No. 6) will host Illinois (No. 20) from the Big Ten. Coach Gary Pinkel's Tigers went 12-2 last year and stomped Arkansas 38-7 in the Cotton Bowl. Heisman Trophy Finalist Chase Daniel will return as quarterback for the Tigers.

All Daniel did last year was throw for 4,300%2B yards and 33 touchdown passes and compile a QB rating of 147.9 (this is not a typo).

The other two highlight games find Colorado State traveling to Colorado for in-state bragging rights (this is no way to start the season for either team), and Mark Dantonio's Michigan State Spartans traveling to California. As a MSU alum I would to remind Dantonio that he will face much tougher teams than California this season-like Ohio State (No. 2), Michigan, Wisconsin (No. 13) and Penn State (No. 22).

Here are 21 teams ranked in the AP Poll that must win their opener to justify their preseason ranking:

Georgia (No. 1) hosts 1-AA Georgia Southern. Although this is an in-state rivalry, I doubt very much that Georgia is going to lose this game, especially if the Bulldogs plan on winning the BCS national championship game this year.

Ohio State (No. 2) hosts AA Youngstown State. Buckeye Coach Jim Tressel led Youngstown State to 4 National I-AA titles and 6 other playoff berths while coaching at Youngstown State, and he has not forgotten where he came from, giving Youngstown State a huge payday they would not otherwise enjoy.

Southern California (USC) (No. 3) travels to Virginia.

Oklahoma (No. 4) hosts AA Chattanooga. Are you serious, Mate? I would not want to be the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Florida (No. 5) hosts Hawaii. Give some real kudos to Hawaii for taking on a quality, Top 5 team on the road in its opener.

Louisiana State (LSU) (No. 7) hosts Appalachian State. Last year 1-AA Appalachian State had its opener at the Big House in Ann Arbor, upsetting the highly favored Michigan Wolverines. Trust me when I say Appalachian State will not be sneaking up on LSU.

West Virginia (No. 8) hosts AA Villanova. Rich Rodriguez left West Virginia last year for a bigger job at Michigan. Good luck, West Virginia.

Auburn (No. 10) hosts Louisiana-Monroe.

Texas (No. 11) hosts Florida Atlantic. Florida Atlantic just might be in for a thumping.

Texas Tech (No. 12) hosts AA Eastern Washington. Eastern Washington just might find out what an air attack is in college football. Eastern Washington has no chance to win this game. Last year the Texas Tech Red Raiders were No. 1 nationally in passing offense, No. 2 in total offense, No. 4 in pass efficiency offense and No. 6 in scoring offense. The game will be over before it starts. Even prayer will not help Eastern Washington.

Wisconsin (No, 13) hosts Akron.

Kansas (No. 14) hosts Florida International. Florida International could be nothing but road kill after this outing.

Arizona State (No. 15) hosts AA Northern Arizona. Watch out, Sun Devils, these in-state rivalries can be surprising.

Brigham Young (BYU) (No. 16) hosts AA Northern Iowa.

Virginia Tech (No. 17) travels to East Carolina.

Tennessee (No. 18) travels to UCLA. This game marks Rick Neuheisel's debut as the Bruins' head coach following his "problems" and exit from the University of Washington. Neuheisel has some proving to do. Remember a guy named Norm Chow (think Southern California's national championship team)? He is Neuheisel's offensive coordinator. The defensive coordinator is a guy named DeWayne Walker. Let's see if Neuheisel can put together a huge upset and a first-game win for the Bruins, Neuheisel's alma mater.

South Florida (No. 19) hosts Tennessee-Martin. Can you believe that South Florida was actually ranked as high as No. 2 nationally last year?

Oregon (No. 21) hosts Washington. Could Tyrone Willingham's Huskies find a way to win this game, and begin to save his coaching job at Washington?

Penn State (No. 22) hosts AA Coastal Carolina. Yikes, I would not want to be Coastal Carolina.

Wake Forest (No. 23) travels to Baylor.

Pittsburgh (No. 25) hosts Bowling Green. Once again, former NFL coach Dave Wannstedt tries to get his alma mater, the Pittsburgh Panthers, on the map as a major contender this season.

Here are 8 more unranked teams (favored teams first) that had better win their opener if they expect to do diddly squat this year:

Arizona hosts Idaho.

Arkansas hosts AA Western Illinois.

Boise State hosts AA Idaho State.

Boston College travels to Kent State.

Connecticut hosts AA Hofstra.

Kansas State hosts North Texas.

Michigan hosts Utah.

Nebraska hosts Western Michigan.

Martin Luther King, Catalyst for a Peaceful Revolution

Martin Luther King received the Nobel Prize for Peace for his work leading a peaceful revolution in America's civil rights movement.

Early Years

Martin Luther King, Jr., originally Michael Luther King, was born January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, to Reverend Martin Luther King, Sr. and Alberta Williams King. Both King, Sr. and Alberta preached at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, as King Jr. would later do himself. He had an older sister, named Willie Christine, and a younger brother, named Albert Daniel.

King was exceptionally bright, enrolling at Morehouse College at only fifteen years old. There, he learned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology. He then earned a Bachelor of Divinity degree from the Crozer Theological School, before beginning his doctoral studies in Systematic Theology at Boston University. There he received his Ph.D. in 1955. While in Boston, King also met and married Corretta Scott King, with whom he would have two children.

Early Activism

In 1954, King accepted his first position as a full-time pastor at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama. By this point, at the age of 24, he was an executive committee member for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). In December of 1955, King helped form the Montgomery Improvement Association, and took charge of the first major non-violent protest of the civil rights movement, the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The boycott was called in response to the arrest of a woman named Rosa Parks, who refused to forfeit her seat on a bus to a white man. The boycott lasted for 382 days, only ending when the Supreme Court declared the forced segregation of buses unconstitutional.

SCLC - Civil Rights Explosion!

Soon afterwards, in 1957, King was elected president of the newly formed Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), which provided a ideological and organizational foundation for the growing American Civil Rights Movement. He implanted into the SCLC moral ideas and techniques based on Christianity and the non-violent teachings of Mahatma Gandhi. For more than a decade, he spoke at thousands of locations about civil rights and social justice, as well as writing five books and several articles on the topic. He organized many demonstrations advocating desegregation, labor rights, and the dismantling of prejudice Jim Crow laws.

King's actions cast him and the Civil Rights Movement into the public eye, becoming the focus of contemporary media attention. In particular, the Birmingham protests, which he organized, and the March on Washington, for which he represented the SCLC and delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, both during 1963, sparked a great deal of controversy. The March on Washington, organized by the so-called Big Six organizations of the Civil Rights Movement, ended up a resounding success. The next year, King was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. He was the youngest recipient in the history of the award.

Death and Legacy

On April 4, 1968, King was shot and killed while standing on a balcony outside his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee. The next day,he had been scheduled to lead a protest by the city's garbage workers. Though a man named James Earl Ray was accused of plead guilty to the crime, the exact circumstances surrounding his death have been shrouded in mystery.

Since his death, Martin Luther King, Jr. has been recognized as one of the greatest advocates for universal civil rights in history, as well as one of the most remarkable modern orators. He is perhaps the most recognizable figure of the Civil Rights Movement, and has posthumously received many awards and recognitions, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Born: January 15, 1929

Died: April 4, 1968

Famous For: Leading figure of the Civil Rights Movement and SCLC, one of the greatest American orators.

Key Accomplishments: Doctorate in Systematic Theology from Boston University as well as 20 Honorary Degrees from various Universities, earned the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964.

Significant Quote: "I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers."

Fun Quote: "Our scientific powers have outrun our spiritual powers; we have guided missiles and mis-guided men."

University of Alabama Birmingham (UAB) Student Demographics

Many people are aware that the University of Alabama Birmingham (commonly referred to as UAB for short) has a proud history of serving students in the southern portion of the United States since its founding in 1936. What many folks do not realize is that the UAB student demographics actually reflect an impact on a global scale that goes far beyond simply reaching young men and women in Alabama and surrounding states like Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. This article aims to show that the UAB student demographics are quite diverse and in many ways serve as a model makeup for peer universities aiming to mimic the diversity found on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Perhaps the most surprising statistic for casual followers of UAB is to learn is that the degree of influence this institution of higher learning has actually makes an impact on a global scale. The total school enrollment of just over 18,000 students represents people from all walks of life as there are 110 different countries representing in what some onlookers would consider a surprisingly diverse student body given the Alabama location which is not normally associated with being an international hub. Even when analyzing the demographics from a purely domestic perspective there is no denying that this college has a makeup comprised of varying backgrounds and ways of thinking that rival any comparable scholastic environment as evident by the fact that student enrollment encapsulates pupils from all 50 states.

The varied makeup of the school goes beyond mere geographical diversity. In fact, from an ethnic diversity perspective UAB posts numbers envied by other colleges aspiring to foster a population make up that promotes such varied viewpoints and backgrounds. While the percentage of Hispanic Americans enrolled at the University of Alabama Birmingham is well below the US percentage of 14.7% the campus wide figure of 1.7% of the student body is about on par with the state population of Alabama which is comprised of 2.9% Latin or Hispanic Americans. Despite the Latin Americans figure UAB actually exceeds nationwide ratios in other areas. In terms of percentage of African Americans (27.1% of the student body) and Asian Americans (4.4% of students) UAB is above both state and nationwide levels. While the percentage of Caucasian students currently attending UAB (65.3%) is below both the state of Alabama (71%) and overall US Census national figure (73.9%) this is generally considered a positive movement for promoting a less homogeneous student body.

There is an applicable old saying along the lines of "two heads are not better than one when they have the same mind" and this is rarely the case with the UAB student demographics that promote both geographical and ethnic diversity school wide so that the whole of the university will be greater than the sum of its parts.
