Baseball v Miss State Series
arktiger1975 replied to I_M4_AU's topic in AU Baseball and Softball Forum
Yep. People talk about CWS appearances. But even coaches like Chizik, Gus, Orgeron, and Les Miles can have all the dominoes fall into place for a great season or two. Well coached teams simply don't have seasons THIS bad- not in year 9 of their tenure. It just doesn't happen. -
Aden Holloway hits the portal (4/20 Committed to UAT)
arktiger1975 replied to RunInRed's topic in Rivals Basketball
I think Aden wanted to go to the "stellar guard developer" so he can jack as many 3's as he wants and not play a lick of defense. Which fits his game perfectly. In all honesty, he probably felt like, with the addiction of Pegues, he was being recruited over. -
Aden Holloway hits the portal (4/20 Committed to UAT)

It will be the most brutal treatment ever to an opposing player by Auburn fans. And as soft as Aden is mentally, not good for him. He will probably be traumatized for life. -

Aden was given every opportunity at Auburn, and didn't get it done. Now he is playing the victim card. He chose bama purely out of spite. This tells us all we need to know about his character. He will fit right in with the low character goons in that program. I hope he fails -
Baseball v Miss State Series

I agree. CWS appearances or not, this is embarrassing. These last 5 SEC opponents are all not much ahead of us in the standings, gotta win a few of them. -

Can't even slow down a bad MSU team. -

We finally play a team we should have a good chance of beating, and are not getting it done as of now. -
Broomes return streamlines management transfer needs

Really good nucleus retuning for next season. We should be right in the thick of the SEC race once again. -
2024 3* Clemson SF Transfer RJ Godfrey
arktiger1975 replied to RunInRed's topic in AU Basketball Forum
Wouldn't mind getting PJ Hall from Clemson! Not sure if he has any eligibility left, or whether he is projected to get drafted. -
Butch has had some good seasons, but....
arktiger1975 replied to arktiger1975's topic in AU Baseball and Softball Forum
Wouldn't NIL make that argument obsolete? -
Baseball v Kentucky series
arktiger1975 replied to I_M4_AU's topic in AU Baseball and Softball Forum
Even worse is that, with LSU and Florida also really struggling, it appears that the SEC is really down this year. So really inexcusable to be 2-13 right now. -
27 wins, 13-5 in the SEC, and SEC tournament champions. Obviously, the loss to Yale was very discouraging. But all in all, it was a very successful season. Sweet 16 was probably the ceiling being in UConn's region, they were one of the best teams the past 40 years or so, nobody was beating them. We just need to build on the positives, and continue to try to get better.

Baseball v Kentucky series
arktiger1975 replied to I_M4_AU's topic in AU Baseball and Softball Forum
We seem to have one of those seasons where the bottom falls out about every 4th year under Butch. Highly doubtful this team will even make Hoover. What a train wreck! -
Rest easy, they are hiring Mark Pope. Many of these fans wanted Bruce, which is flattering.

Big Blue fans are outraged, but I think it is a better hire than many think. A lot of their fans wanted Bruce, which is flattering.

Women's Basketball - How serious are we?
arktiger1975 replied to AU9377's topic in AU Basketball Forum
Well, I sure ain't holding my breath in hopes of football doing anything. And I am pretty apathetic about baseball- Thompson will have a good year or two, then the bottom will fall out. Never any consistency. -
Hallelujah! Long time coming!

The move to Arkansas will likely also reenergize him. He will want to prove he isn't washed up, and it wouldn't surprise me if he has at least 3-4 good years there. A fresh start was very much needed by him, things has gotten really stale under him at UK.
-
1. Hurley ain't going to Kentucky. 2. Calipari pretty much had to get out of Lexington the first chance he gets, he had essentially lost the confidence and support of the fanbase there. 3. I believe Scott Drew is the most likely hire at UK. A lot of UK fans don't think he is good enough for Kentucky, but I think he would do well there.

I thought UConn was vastly superior to Purdue even before they played bama. After UConn played bama, I knew Purdue stood little chance. I thought bama played about as well as they could play, and UConn still pulled away in the end and won by 15. Purdue's guards were vastly inferior to bama's.

I agree, good hire!

NCAA Tournament Thread (Non-Auburn Games)
arktiger1975 replied to GTNupe11's topic in AU Basketball Forum
I've always respected the fact that Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma built their programs from nothing to the elites of the game.
