War to the Eagle 364 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 This whole thing reeks of an Alabama/ESPN effort to hold any kind of positive AU athletics efforts down. I hope this doesn’t impact the morale of the Hoops team or any other sports for that matter. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeonardAU 237 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Yep. Media will try and tie the two together if we drop a game or two prior to the SEC tournament, but this team is as mentally tough as I've seen across any sport. 8 minutes ago, kennypowers said: Basketball is dialed in.

tgrogan21 6,198 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 There's a 0% chance of that happening. The game tomorrow is essentially a home game against the worst team in the SEC. Bruce is an experienced head coach that will have these players ready to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUinMS9528 1,086 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 First of all, bama didn’t start this. They couldn’t dream up a scenario this good for them. It’s completely self inflicted. AU football is a horrendous embarrassment. We will not be relevant in football for at least 3-5 years. Probably more. Secondly, you’re right. The media will tie them together at some point. Some idiots will pile on. It will be old news in a week or so. Third, Bruce the master motivator, will not let his guys get distracted. If anything, he may use it as a little extra motivation to “win for Auburn, because we need it right now”. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamZero77 1,789 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 This is what drives me crazy about SOME Auburn fans. Every negative thing that comes out of Auburn, our fans immediately say that "the REC did this. Nick Saban did this. The NCAA is doing this to help Alabama. The SEC is out to get Auburn because Alabama and Saban told them to. AL.com, ESPN, Paul Finebaum, Pete Thamel, etc. are all out to get Auburn and to help Alabama. Blah, Blah, Blah." Alabama and every other school for that matter, aren't conspiring to make Auburn look foolish; we do that just fine all by ourselves. Just think for a second, why would Alabama want to bring Auburn football down and get Harsin fired?? Does he steal any transfer portal guys from Alabama? Does he get players from in-state that Alabama recruits very hard?? Is Harsin some genius Gameday coach that is a threat to start winning SEC Titles? Or National Titles? Is Harsin stealing any coaches from Alabama's staff? Does Harsin have different high school coaches steering their star players to Auburn instead of to Alabama? Does Harsin have the Auburn football program on such a great trajectory that pretty soon they'll knock Alabama out of the spotlight and the SEC championship will start being Auburn vs Georgia every year? The answer to all of those is NO. I would bet my life on it that Nick Saban and everybody at Alabama haven't lost a minutes sleep worrying about Bryan Harsin or Auburn football since Bryan Harsin became head coach. They probably are praying this stuff ISN'T true so that he will remain the head coach here. It would be like Auburn trying to find dirt on Mike Shula in hopes that it would get him fired from Alabama. Your theory makes ZERO sense when you really sit down and think about it. And I know I'll get downvoted for that rant and that's ok because I know I'm right. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying we won't lose today, I don't think we will. If we lose, it won't be due to carryover from football imo. This team has one thing on their mind, a championship season in basketball. They know they can't screw it up with distractions. If we lose, have to be a combo of Georgia shooting well, and us not being in an opponents gym, and probably foul trouble on Kessler.

That Mizzou game was us at our worst! That game/effort would beat uga by at least a few possessions (5-8 points ish). We had a decent/mediocre game last time and beat them by 23 at home. I would expect another decent game and a 15-20 point win in Athens today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure. The football department is the top of the athletic department and any negative energy out of there will trickle down to other sports. Also, a lot of the basketball players have friends on the football team. Negative energy in the athletic department will affect all teams. We saw it today in Athens. The team looked flat and we were lucky to get the win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumps 3,705 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Does anyone think that the NCAA's ruling for the punishment of our basketball team had any effect on our Football bowl loss? Of course not! Auburn sports has enough to worry about with creating mythical stuff to worry about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au4life77 74 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Bad karma in the athletic department right now. It will spill over into other programs besides football. I hope the basketball team can overcome it, they don't deserve it. Only the football team deserves it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
