I think it would be great to give him some recognition, as it took over 30 years to get us to the Elite 8 and now FF with Pearl. Sonny paved the way... Bruce Pearl Arena and Sonny Smith Court....?

Doesn't leave much room for the next great coach does it? I like the idea though, I really do. I would go for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 As much as I love Bruce Pearl, and I LOVE him a lot, I like that the Arena is called The Jungle. The Oyster, or whatever, is not an intimidating enough name for our opponents. Let’s keep it The Jungle and name it Pearl court or something. Heck, BP wouldn’t care if we named anything for him. What would be great is if we put a statue outside of him in mid-jump, coaching his guts out. That would be hilarious and appropriate. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,829 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 As I understand it the Jungle is the student section. The arena is Auburn Arena. The Jungle would be inside Bruce Pearl Arena IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUApostle 7,651 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 The Auburn Arena on the campus of Pearl University has a nice ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigeraddikt 1,611 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 PearLee County, wait a second, is that Pearlee county, wait that's the same thing...It's not Pear Lee, it's "Pearl +Lee" so maybe it's Pearllee County, Alabama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
