They also funnel hundreds, if not thousands, of players every year through AAU basketball. Fan gear is subjective but I think UA’s is f***ing garbage. There’s a reason Nike is the top sportswear company in the world and UA has been losing contracts with schools all over the country and struggling to keep their head above water. There every day workout apparel is actually very comparable to Nike. Where they lose - shoes for the every day person. They are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didba 5,256 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 If you switch the Arky, Kentucky and Ole Miss games where the refs literally blew calls allowing us to win he is inheriting a losing record team in the SEC. Those games literally have asterisks next to the Ws for Auburn. So it is actually is pretty true what @gr82b4au said, @TexasTiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, there were no blowouts. We also went thru 6 centers due to injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well let him on the team and he can be cut if he violates Harsins rules. We need quality help now if MAR and Shivers leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where they lose - shoes for the every day person. They are awful. I agree on the shoes. I’ve tried a few pairs of UA trainers and have, unfortunately, had a team of mine contractually obligated to wear UA shoes... and they’re absolutely terrible. If we’re talking everyday workout apparel, to be honest, there’s very little separation among any of the brands. That’s including the no-name store brands. Where Nike separates itself is with their uniforms and premium workout gear (including the sideline gear). I’m talking the stuff they don’t sell at Academy or Dick’s. I deal with reps every year trying to sell me the best of the best from every brand and UA is so far behind Nike (and Jordan) it’s laughable. Adidas also makes much better quality gear and uniforms than UA, but they don’t have the selection, marketing, or overall market appeal that Nike carries.

The “gear” Nike sends to its schools and sells are not even comparable to UA. Plus UA is such a ****show of a company it won’t surprise me if they go bankrupt or sold wouldn’t surprise me. Just look at them backing out of deals with the UC schools (UCLA, Cal, & Cincy). Adidas when our school was shopping around had great products and “incentives” but at the end of the day, when we had our student-athlete advisory committee put in their input, it was Nike, and it wasn’t even close. I can 98% guarantee it was because of their marketability and the “coolness” factor— which eventually goes all the way to recruiting these athletes.

DKW 86 7,424 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Just finished listening. If he is as he says, he will fit in at AU for a long time. We like hardnosed football and he has the simple hard work temperament it takes to win in the SEC. He is obviously not afraid to take on a huge task. He does remind me of Dye in his straight forwardness. I am so tired of junk coachspeak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
