Blaze the Dragon, mascot of the UAB Blazers continuously since 1996



A direct descendant of Ollie the Dragon, from Kukla Fran & Ollie



Yes, a glorified sock puppet is the intimidating mascot of our next opponent. I know I'm scared.

How can a logo or mascot be "intimidating"?

I need to research this mascot. I don't have any smart arse anecdotes to say about the UAB dragon.

I think I'd rather be a beaver.

Ollie the Dragon?
Kukla, Fran & Ollie?

You remember them? I figured only me and Zach would.

Note that Ollie is wearing a helmet. He was an early football star for the Blazers.

I still haven't recovered from that game. It's almost been two years.

UAB got Hoosker-Do'ed when they bought that new costume.

That's an alligator, dressed in dragons clothing.

I remember when the UAB flag got jammed into the eye of the Tiger, bad night and the only game Saban ever lost.

Saban doesn't work for us anymore, so no, I'm not that scared.

I dunno. I guess a dragon is pretty much as cool as anything else out there. Way better than an elephant or green tidal wave.
