The responses above are good. Mountain Brook is a upper middle class suburb of Birmingham that sends a decent amount of kids to Bama (although in the last several years they are actually trending Auburn, Ole Miss and TCU/SMU). The assumption that MB kids are a "big deal" at UA is false, though. They are definitely around but generally stay in their own little circles and are not particularly relevant at all since the school has become mostly out of state in its student population. If any area of Alabama has kept relevance politically at Bama, it is probably the Mobile area. It is probably also better to think of MB as just one of several Birmingham "OTM" (Over the Mountain) suburbs. MB does not stand out any more than, say, Hoover or Vestavia.
