Some students love it and others could not make it throught the first quarter (semeter system now). I loved it. pmull Livingston University Class of 79 8) BTW, I did not have any say in the name change to University of West Alabama. It will still be LU if it was up to me.

I still like Troy State better than Troy. Oh and we were the "Red Wave" not the Trojans, when I was there.

I took a couple of specialty classes there for the company I worked for many years ago. Does that count? :dunno: Title: Re: "Booted by Auburn, Demetruce McNeal to West Alabama" Post by: pmull on August 21, 2013, 11:16:27 AM I wanted to play football in college and Alabama with Bear Bryant as the coach would have been my first choice since I have been an Alabama fan as long as I can remember. The only problem was I was not good enough. What little talent I did have was in baseball. I was being recruited my Miss State but they wanted me to go to Jeff State JUCO for two years. I wanted to go away to school so I accepted a tutition and books scholarship to Livingston. Never regretted it. It was the right choice for me.

Well, since you turned to SERIOUSNESS, Livingston was a solid school. At least it was when I visited it back in the 70s. Their profs gave closer attention to students than I ever got at Alabama. Sounds like you made a solid choice. But you missed some memorable years at the Capstone.

Sounds like you made a solid choice. But you missed some memorable years at the Capstone. I liked the small classes and personal attention the profs were able to provide. I did not push my kids to any school but I did make it known I preferred a smaller school for this reason. One went to Montevallo and the other started her second year at UNA today. I have been real impressed with both of those schools.

I was going to go to Bama, but my father was very sick and Troy State was only 40 minutes away, so I stayed closer to home to help my mother. In fact, I transferred to Troy State at Montgomery after the first year because of his health issues, where I lived at home and also worked full time. I don't regret that either because it was out of necessity and the right thing to do.
