otterinbham 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Nothing. Pro football? Eh. A bunch of mercenaries playing look-alike offenses. Pro basketball? Pituitary gland cases playing meaningless games. Hockey? Canadians and Russians representing American cities. College basketball? Is Auburn any good this year? If not, yawn. The only good news? Pitchers and catchers report for Spring training in about 5-6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draven 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Forget the nap. Lady Tigers unbeaten tops in the SEC, Men are on a seven game winning streak for a 10-4 overall so go out and suppot them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexbo 104 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 We have a really, really good women's b'ball team, and the men's team could compete for the SEC West, and make a run for the NCAA. The crowd and atmosphere at the coliseum could even be the difference in those tight SEC games, go buy your tickets now! I have mine for the 'Bama game in a week, and I am making a 4 hour drive; so no excuses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey is the best sport although it is much better to watch in person. College basketballgets better for March Madness and Auburn seems to have a couple of pretty good teams this year. Baseball however is a snooze fest until October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaGrad03 0 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I really enjoy hockey, so I can't say I'm super yawn. Though the fact that our BBall team sucks does sort of make Feb - August seem much longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't like doing it as early as Tuberville. Unfortunately I will be in Tuscaloosa and Auburn for A-Day this year. I made the mistake of taking my wife last year and now she enjoys it and wants to go back. I've grown up an Auburn fan in an Alabama house and have NEVER gone to an Auburn A-Day! My dad took me to AU games and such fairly regularly, I guess, but never to A-Day. I'm going this year damn it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Mobile got a hockey team, they had a "name the team" contest. The name that got the most votes was Hicks With Sticks. But they went with the Mobile Mysticks instead (ECHL). Like others have said, games in person are fun. But TV - I never watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyTiger 3 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I agree that games are much better i person, but dont use the excuse that you can't see the puck or don't know where it is. Hockey is the best beneficiary of HD of any of the sports though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin 2 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I usually start my nap after signing day. This year, with the new coaching staff, it's easier putting off hibernation than ever before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
