Oh well, done with men’s college basketball. next up, The Masters

I would love nothing more than Kentucky losing to a school I’ve never heard of

Also the second year in a row having to share a site with Alabama 

And we were the 3rd 4 seed. Alabama is the 4th. So we weren’t even on the verge of getting a 3.

So the seedings were set before the SEC tournament I guess

We “survived” South Carolina?

A good day

FT shooting is a big weakness for Miss St. Hubbard is the only reliable one thy have. Of course we weren’t great shakes today at the line…..

He got a good break on that foul on Nelson

Just looked at Stub Hub. Lots of good deals on tickets for tomorrow 

A Kentucky loss at Tennessee would also lift us into the top 4 (assuming we win out). So Tennessee has 2 opportunities to help us out next week.

Who was the Auburn player that lost a tooth a few years back?

Any word on how Johni is doing? I’ve been looking for status but haven’t seen any. That was scary seeing him on the floor in obvious pain.

Wasn’t the Chuck Person investigation in full swing by that time? Seems unlikely that anything even remotely questionable would be going on at the same time you’re under the NCAA and media microscope. 

Playing this road game is such a dumb thing to do. I heard Bruce say in an interview that he scheduled it because it’s “the right thing to do”, whatever that means. 

I really don’t understand the home court advantage at Rupp. When they show crowd shots, the seats near the court are all silver haired donors.  

Broome had all ball on that foul call

Miller plays tonight and scores 41 points in a 2 point overtime win, which just puts an obscene exclamation point on a sad and ugly affair. It’s like they’re giving everyone the finger. 

His referring to the university’s unfinished internal investigation tips his hand on the real purpose of this article, which is to vindicate himself- to say that he was right all along about Harsin. I agree that Harsin had this team ill-prepared and that his days at Auburn are numbered, but the glee with which this guy spews attacks on folk’s character and personal integrity in an article about a football game turns my stomach. The only way I was able to read the article was because it was posted here, because I refuse to give him any clicks.

Emotion plays a much larger part than most people think. For example the same argument could be applied to the entire concept of momentum in a game but I think most would agree that is a thing that exists based on emotion/mood. "If the defense gets a turnover and it sparks the offense, maybe you should have gone to a G5 school."

We talk about our great uniform tradition and poo poo orange jerseys as a gimmick, but maybe we make things like uniform tradition a crutch or gimmick in the other direction - Did any of us feel better about losing to UCF in the Peach Bowl because we looked great in those blue jerseys? Would we have felt worse or more embarrassed if we’d lost in orange jerseys? My point is that worrying or obsessing about what color Jersey we’re wearing cuts both ways.

My opinions, as if anyone cares. 😂

I think it’s more important that the fans wear the orange than the team does, to show support. I don’t care if you don’t want to wear orange, that’s fine.  Just don’t come to the stadium. 😁

I agree with the cheers.  I hate 2 bits, but it’s been around forever, so I guess it’s tradition.  It’s got to be the first cheer that little kids are taught, so I guess it perpetuates the family atmosphere? 🤷‍♀️
 

I’m not upset with the band playing the same tunes.  It’s just background noise. 
 

It’s just comforting for everything to be the same, especially if you’ve been around as long as I have, 45 years going to games.  I understand the desire to change it up from the younger people though.  

The trend toward a booming sound system playing hip hop between every play and an LED light show during every TV time out is making cheerleaders and marching bands irrelevant and obsolete

Why is your screen name Elk River? I’m fishing Elk River tomorrow morning. Elk River in Limestone County Alabama 

I live on Elk River

Also, it has to frustrate Under Armour that we won’t wear alternate uniforms. Think of the revenue that they (and Auburn) miss out on.

We all have an opinion (I’m for it), but what should matter to us is what the players think. They’re the ones putting in the hard work and I’d bet you that overwhelmingly would be for it.  If I were Harsin, my attitude would by why not - these old geezers that are so hard over against it want me gone anyway, so why worry about whether they like it or not.
