Can’t tell you how much this means to me as a former Auburn golfer. I had tears of joy. I’m pretty worn out I’ll have more to say later.

We are national champs in golf never thought I would be able to say that 54 years ago while playing for Auburn.

 

War Eagle 

I’m so happy for you, Golf! I know this really hits home for you. Congratulations, my friend! War Eagle!

So if I’m not mistaken, Butler still has a COVID year? They could all be back next year! 😀

John Marshall taking it to the 1st team All American 

I’d say Clanton’s last shot just boosted morale a wee bit

Great question...I wondered the same thing so, after seeing your post, I looked it up.  Interesting backstory!  In a nutshell, the Carlsbad site will likely be the permanent home of the men's and women's championships (like Oklahoma is for softball and baseball).  No California schools stepped up to sponsor the tournament so someone at UT decided to take the lead.  One of their megadonors owns the Omni and they got him onboard to make it happen (and make it as permanent as things can be).  Here's the full story:

Awesome! Thank you Golden Eagle!

Question for Golf, or anyone else who might have an answer: how is this tournament being played in Carlsbad, CA, and the designated host is the University of Texas? I keep seeing the Longhorn logo of our new conference counterparts on all of the flags. Any information is appreciated 😀

What a match!

Jackson had us on a roller coaster tonight for sure

FINAL FOUR BOUND! We match up with Ohio State or Vanderbilt later today

Auburn, UAB, and the turds all in Spokane 

I’m at the game. Pretty sure KD was out there during the shoot around.

Thank you, autigermt!

Story on al.com. Sorry, I’m not sure how to copy a link.

In the NET rankings, Ole Miss is 61. I think they were about the same when we played. That would only be a Quad 1 win if we played them at their place. To be a Quad 1 win at home they have to be ranked 30th or higher. 

Oh Ok. I did not realize they considered Q1 wins in the NET rankings as well. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

All overreactions aside, we have zero Quad 1 wins in three tries this season, and Pearl was obviously on a freaking mission to win all three.

We just lost two in a row.

He has failed in getting us the most important aspect in the game: perimeter shooters.

We'll have a decent season, then may struggle to keep our most important players from transferring.

I’m confused. I thought Old Piss was a Quad 1 win. warrennolan.com has us with one quad 1 win in the RPI and now they are ranked ahead of us (15 vs. 18) 

Looks like we will be the 8 seed and play Tennessee at 3:30 CT Sunday. Would get another game with Arkansas on Tuesday if we win. The draw could set up nicely for the ladies!

Prayers for Kristi and for you and your boys.  How old are your sons? Prayers for wisdom for her caregivers, comfort and peace for you all.  🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

They are 7 and 5, and they love Aubie

Good morning, everyone, and War Eagle. Great win last night! I apologize if this is not the best place to post this but I didn’t know. I am writing to ask for prayers this morning for my ex-wife, Kristi (Tennessee fan 🙄)and our two wonderful boys (they lean more towards Auburn). She is in the hospital recovering from some sort of septic reaction. She has been admitted since Friday, and last night, her situation took a turn for the worse. Her condition is rather dire right now. I don’t post often on here but I do know that prayer requests are sometimes submitted. I appreciate it very much and let’s get Samford next weekend. Thank you and WDE

Our ladies opened the season with a scoreless draw to Samford tonight (on the verge of being a top-25 team). Ball movement was great in the first half. We just couldn’t get the ball in the net. I think the team will rebound from last year’s disappointing season (6-6-6 record). Lots of good young talent to be excited about

I expect them not to wear half pants in games.      Could be regular size blue pants tho.   I kind of hope not.   I'm not a fan of matching pants and jerseys.  Makes players look like 1975 Elvis.

Come on! If it worked for the 1975 Cleveland Indians, it would certainly work for us 😂

Turning into the Auburn Cavaliers. Shariffe Cooper is on the same G-League team as well; Isaac Okoro is on the parent squad.

I believe with this setup, if they do the wrap around seeding (or snake seeding as I have heard it before), they put the best #2 seed in the bracket with the worst #1 seed, meaning we were the last team out on the #1 line. I like our chances in Clemson; not so sure about Okie. They are on a run similar to UCONN women’s hoops from about 10 years ago right now. I think their record since the start of ‘21 is something like 166-8. Unfathomable! And to think they will be conference foes in ‘25. We gotta step up our game.

I believe that only leaves Chris Morris and Chuck Person as the only starters still with us from the ‘86 Elite 8 team, that should have made the Final Four by the way.

JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!

Later tonight actually. It seemed last year it was around 8:00

Anybody figure what session we play?

My guess would be noon. They will put Bummer in the prime time spot since they are overall number 1. I figure Houston would get the later of the two early spots since they are also a top seed
