These guys are big time college athletes getting their education (and probably more at UAT) paid for. That is all part of the game. They have to have thick skin and mental toughness. The game ain't for sissies. I know it seems classless, but the players probably can't even hear it or it doesn't bother them. If it does bother them, they may want to pick a different sport. As far as the fans go, as long as there are not racial slurs or bad language, I'm good with them hammering any opponent (not just UAT) and being as ruthless as possible. I understand. Doesn't mean I like it. I'm not thin-skinned or easily offended, but it does bother me that our society, in general, has gotten coarser and ruder to one another, and I guess the sporting arenas are no different than society-at-large. Oh, well, I guess this is a different topic for a different forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,827 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Big props to: Chuma -- 16 and 10. nuff said. Davion -- huuuuuge 3s and was aggressive Malik - Loved seeing him play so well last night with Mustapha out! These guys all had huuuuuge nights for us off the bench when we needed them to be at the top of their games. Incredible effort by these guys. Jared Harper bounced back after the South Carolina game to show why he may be the best PG in the conference as a sophomore. Bryce is starting to hit again after the injury Murray battling hard against those big guys down low, as usual. Horace got in a little bit of foul trouble but still had 3 blocks and was playing good D out there. Fantastic team effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to get booed, don't become the SGA president. I thought she handled it well. She did not complain...it is just a few of us old AU alums who would have liked for the crowd to show more class in that situation...booing while she was talking was unnecessarily rude..

gravejd 3,270 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Man if we lose anymore players this team will be unstoppable!! Amazing how 1 guy goes down we always have someone else step up. Dunbar and Okeke took up the slack this game. But i mean hell when you have what 7 scholly players going everyone has to play well to get the W. Just so fun watching this team and knowing that no matter what happens they will keep on fighting. I have to admit that i was pretty down after the McLemore injury. Glad the team saw it as just another opportunity to show everyone they are for real...AGAIN!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,827 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Remember when we were so depleted from a roster standpoint that Cinmeon Bowers had to run the point for us? Remember when KT Harrell was the only person on the court who could score? I am so happy for Bryce and Horace. Those kids have been through it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, pretty classless that she broke tradition and didn’t sing our fight song; but again, she is a bammer, so what should we expect? I read an article on her cause she was taking over for the resigned SGA president that talked about her having to do this. She didn't even know the tradition was still going on despite Auburn holding up it's end every year. Quote "You realize you're going to have to sing the Auburn fight song now, right?" Gerhardt asked. "Do what?" Nelson responded. "That's when I learned about the tradition." Nelson originally heard the signing of the rival's fight song was retired, but that wasn't accurate. http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2018/02/alabama_sga_president_cant_lie.html#incart_river_index Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnell Williams, Ronnie Brown and Brandon Johnson (had to look his name up) we're all injured. Tre Smith filled in and had a career performance and Auburn beat Bama in Bryant Denny. I did not catch that autocorrect had changed Tre to The until you posted. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerfinz 1,362 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Gotta love the interview with Sir Charles after the game...he was so drunk. He tried to keep his composure though.
