UAB football fan 'hashtag storm' dominates Twitter

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - Fans and supporters of UAB football continued to take to Twitter on Monday, resuming pleas for university staff to reconsider a possible end to the school's football program.

The self-proclaimed "hashtag storm" is an online extension of demonstrations made on campus Sunday and Monday.

The student union at the University of Alabama-Huntsville showed their support, with a photo posted by 'UAB Slant' depicting monitors at the student union with a green version of the normally-blue UAH logo.

Other fans posted pictures of treasured memories spent at Legion Field.

"Everybody in the state should stand up for UAB & help keep their football program alive," former Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron tweeted Monday night. "I wish everybody the best. Keep the Blazers alive."

Take a look at just a small portion of the tweets made Monday night. Hashtags #FreeUAB and #SaveUABfootball trended nationally throughout Monday evening.
