  1. Bammer is hanging around with UNC. Hubert Davis has to tell his guys to slow this pace down. They're playing right into what Nate Oates wants....a very fast pace!
  2. Nate Oates probably does alot of the stuff he does because he knows it drives so many of you crazy. The guy lives rent free in alot of y'alls heads. Add Lane Kiffin to that list as well. The rest of the SEC fans look at Hugh Freeze as a piece of s*** as well. Hell, most everybody on this message board talked bad about Hugh but it changed when he was introduced as HC here. I remember an Auburn message board I was a member of back when Bruce Pearl coached Tennessee. Everybody on that board talked about how stupid Bruce looked when he went shirtless at a Tennessee women's basketball game and painted his body orange. Then when those pictures came out of him out on a boat on the lake hugged up on teenage girls in bikini's, Auburn fans had a field day with that. That was around the time Bruce got his divorce after 25 years I believe. But that Auburn message board couldn't stand Bruce and when he got in all the trouble about the barbecue party at Tennessee, those forum members all agreed Bruce should get fired and he did. Then ALL those Auburn fans totally pulled a 180° when Bruce was announced as our new HC. He was a saint the second he arrived at the airport. Then after he went 15-20 and 11-20 the first 2 years, most wanted him fired. I've said it on here before, we always dislike other coaches and even hate other coaches but then we get a sudden case of amnesia when they're announced as the new Auburn head coach. Funny how that works.
  3. You ain't kidding about Virginia!! I know Tony Bennett's teams have always been known as boring because they play so slow on the offensive side but his guys took it to a whole different level against Colorado State!! They went 12 minutes and 35 seconds of game time without a single point scored. In real time it was 52 minutes. 😂 They had 14 points at halftime!! What a mess. Remember in 2018 they were the first #1 seed in history to lose to a #16 seed? This is karma for that no-call on the double dribble in the 2019 Final Four.
  4. DAMN, I love me some March Madness!!!!! Nothing else like it.
  5. 3 years in a row that Kentucky has lost in the opening round. The Kentucky fans are on Calipari's ass and they have every right to be. No wins in the SEC Tourney or the NCAA Tourney this year. Great recruiter but he's been average, by Kentucky standards, since 2019 when we beat him in the Elite 8. Tennessee fans are the same way about Rick Barnes. If Tennessee loses saturday in the round of 32, they'll start rumbling louder. They're complaining that he's just a regular season coach but struggles during tournament time everywhere he's coached.
  6. Does anybody remember the story about Finebaum getting his ass chewed out at Coleman Coliseum by Mark Gottfried's then wife Elizabeth? It made headlines and is an easy find on Google. She was pissed off at Paul because he was going on his show everyday and complaining about how bad Mark Gottfried was doing as Bama basketball head coach. Finebaum would get the Bammer's stirred up and they would call for Gottfried to be fired daily. Paul also did this to Mike Shula. Anyway, Finebaum was sitting courtside at a Bama basketball game and it was sold out at Coleman Coliseum. Then Elizabeth Gottfried seen Paul and confronted him in front of the entire crowd. She was screaming at Paul and said that Paul doesn't realize these coaches have families and said that the Gottfried's 5 kids hear this stuff about how their Dad is going to be fired. Then Finebaum went on his show the next day and stirred the pot even worse. I also remember Gene Chizik saying the same thing about Finebaum trying to always get coaches fired.
  7. Has anybody else ever noticed that Finebaum NEVER talks X's and O's about football or basketball? I never paid attention to this until about 10 years ago when Bill Curry mentioned it in an article I was reading. Curry said that Finebaum never talks X's and O's because he can't. He said Paul is only in the business of getting coaches fired. I've always viewed Finebaum as a shock jock like Howard Stern but in the sports world. It seems the past several years he is a mixture of Howard Stern meets Jerry Springer. I will give him credit on this; every fanbase swears that he hates their school and loves their rival school. Bammers think he hates them and loves Auburn. We think he hates us and loves Bammers. I guess that means he is doing his job. I think he has an allegiance to certain coaches, rather than to schools. He seemed to love Tuberville but he hated Mike Shula. He loves Pat Dye, Gene Stallings, Spurrier and Saban but he hates Phillip Fulmer and Les Miles.
  8. I've really enjoyed watching this years team. This roster isn't loaded with 5 star players or future lottery picks but they play together as a team and now they're 27-7 and SEC Tournament Champs!! Oh yeah, they ain't done yet!!! WDE
  9. Coach Pearl turns 64 yrs old today, March 18th!!!!!
  10. We were a 5.5 point favorite at tipoff today. You're the only person that kept saying we would be an underdog. The announcers even stated during the A&M vs Florida game that whoever won that game would be the underdog today versus Auburn. Florida beat us because it was in Gainesville, we were only days removed from beating Alabama in a very emotional game and Florida had an entire week off to rest. Auburn is the better team and would be the favorite 10 times out of 10 on a neutral court.
  11. Texas A&M and Florida are both top rebounding teams not only in the SEC but in the country. Florida has some trees down in the paint and Texas A&M has 3 guards that are all healthy now and playing out of their minds. Both of these teams have given us trouble through the years but I can guarantee you that neither of those teams look forward to facing us tomorrow. One thing that A&M has done during this tourney is score alot and play with some good pace. Buzz Williams teams usually try to slow the game WAAAAY down, similar to Tony Bennett's Virginia teams. Buzz even said before they played Kentucky yesterday that his guys were gonna have to muddy the game up, run the shot-clock down most possessions and play tough defense without fouling. He knew his team didn't have the talent that Kentucky does but A&M handled them very well and it has really shocked me how A&M is able to play at a pretty fast pace. Foul trouble is killing them in this game right now and that's allowed Florida back in it. As deep as the SEC is now, nothing's going to be a cakewalk if you contend for the conference title. I like our chances tomorrow and Bruce seems to have this team dialed in and focused the last couple weeks. WDE
  12. Don't forget Kenny Payne at Louisville. He was fired a couple days ago after winning only 5 ACC conference games in 2 seasons and lost every conference game that was on the road. He played on the 1986 Louisville team that won the national title. Pervis Ellison was on that same team and he was an absolute monster at Louisville.
  13. I was watching the SEC Network and they said that our 31 point win over USCe today is a new SEC tournament record for largest point differential. They said that today was the first time since 1983 that the top 3 seeds in the SEC Tourney got beat in the quarterfinals. All 4 of today's quarterfinal games were won by a double digit margin. We are 25-7 and all 25 wins have been by double digits. We currently have the 4th longest streak of double digit wins in SEC history. I also want to commend Bruce on playing 15 players today. 10 of those 15 players got 15 minutes or more but none of them got more than 25 minutes. It's absolutely amazing how every guy on this roster seems to be a "team first" player and they don't seem to pout or get disgruntled if they're coming off the bench. Bruce has been saying this same thing about his players all season. There doesn't seem to be any ego's on this roster that I can see and thats a coaches dream. This team was getting some love from the analysts coming into this USCe matchup but after a big win and the top 3 seeds getting beat, this team is REALLY being hyped up by the SECN guys, as well as other media people. They've got to stay locked in and block out all the hype they're receiving and I believe Bruce will keep them focused. As long as we keep knocking down shots at a good clip, this team can beat anybody they face due to our crazy depth and our defense!!! Bruce has said all year that this team is special and I don't think that's coach speak. One game at a time!! WDE
  14. So happy that your surgery went well and your recovery sounds like it's going good too. How did you feel yesterday and this morning? Are you back home now?
