abw0004 10,113 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Good evening all! I know, I know. I normally post this the day of the game. BUT, I feel like this is an exception being such a big game, we need to hype up a little sooner. Also, with me at a conference in Nashville, some of these meetings needed for CE credit are a tad derivative, causing me to get excited for the game. I feel like we have really have taken a dive into learning Virginia’s program and what the national pundits say. Nothing left to do but get excited! So here we go. Ladies and gentlemen we are in the midst of making history. Auburn thrives with a chip on its shoulder. When we are expected to lose, we shine. When outsiders point to deficiencies, we see opportunity. Let’s do this boys! Keep your head down, keep your cool. Don’t let Virginia dictate who we are. This is OUR TIME. Let’s go AU! War Eagle!

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Every day I listen or read something from Coach Pearl that just makes me love him, as our coach, more and more. He's an amazing basketball coach but he's an even better advocate for ALL things Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abw0004 10,113 Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Apple CEO Tim Cook surprises Paul Finebaum with call to discuss Auburn in Final Four Apple CEO Tim Cook is an Alabama native and attended Auburn for his undergraduate degree. Cook then went on to Duke to obtain his Master’s degree. So, naturally, Cook is fired up about Auburn’s NCAA Tournament run all the way to the Final Four, and on Thursday, Cook made a surprise call in to The Paul Finebaum Show. Finebaun took the call and quickly realized it was no ordinary caller. “I could not be more thrilled, and I really wish the best to Coach Pearl and the entire team,” Cook told Finebaum. “We are incredibly proud of them.” Finebaum asked Cook what his plans were for the Final Four, and although he won’t be there Saturday night, he plans to be there Monday. “Saturday I’ll be watching on TV and plan to be there Monday (for the national championship game),” Cook said of his plans. Naturally, Cook is a Bruce Pearl fan, and he knows Pearl’s impact has helped take the program to another level. “I think Bruce is an original, and there’s nobody quite like him,” Cook told Finebaum. “I think he’s energized the program like no one, quite frankly, that I’ve ever seen in Auburn’s history and has brought the basketball team to be a contender. I think we’re all proud of him.” Cook attended Auburn right before Charles Barkley played for the Tigers. Finebaum then asked Cook whether he discussed sports with other major CEOs during meetings. “I think sports is still a great unifier,” Cook said. “So it’s one thing we can all rally around, and people put their interests aside to either fight the other side or hopefully join forces. Of course, sports always come up. CEOs are people too. They love sports too.” Auburn faces Virginia Saturday night at 6:09 p.m. ET from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I'm definitely not knowledgeable enough about volleyball but looking at the roster, Morgan is the only setter on the team ... so that might be the reason? No clue, though.

No clue, though. Hum, that’s interesting. I have basically zero knowledge of the sport outside of playing with friends occasionally, but seems weird that an injury or sickness or anything at al happens to one player cancels an entire match. Oh well, just curious. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird indeed. I can see a team forfeiting a game if they arbitrarily choose to not show up, but cancel? Something's strange about that, and suppose our "only setter" turns an ankle during a match? There has to be a substitute for her on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
