Miss St, So Carolina, and UKY out from game 1. Let's not Auburn be like them!

Before the first NCAA game, Barkley commented that the SEC was under-appreciate. The SEC is much better than the Selection Committee seeded them Then we watch Miss State go down, South Carolina go down, Kentucky go down -- not to powerhouses, but to teams we'd expect our SEC teams to beat. Except,, Barkley was wrong. The SEC teams were OVER-rated and lost their opening game. Which is why I have been saying CBP need to have our guys realy to play from the first tipoff. And our guys need to be focused.

I'm just hoping Auburn players are focused this weekend. Not taking opponents lightly. Auburn has not gone far in the NCAA for awhile now. CBP says this team is on a mission. Well, certainly HE is. Let's hope the players are too.

Anyone who thinks Yale is just some skinny white dudes throwing up 3s is delusional. Yale actually has a size advantage over Auburn, inside and out. I'm hoping CBP has the team focused, not taking Yale for granted. In tournament time, it is one game at a time or you are out. WDE!

Sorry my acronyming got screwy. 😬

Love my Tigers, but seeded 4 in the toughest bracket is not an avenue to the championship. If Auburn makes it that far, can our Tigers knock off UConn? Personally hoping UConn gets upset before then. hahahaha

Personally, I want the best for Broome. If the talent assessments put him in the NFL, I wish him the best. But if the NFL is not yet blooming for Broome, I hope he comes back for another year instead of doing G-League or foreign league play. I love Cardwell, but he is no Broome. He doesn't really scare anyone. Since Trovore turned ut to be a dud, CBP will have to find another big.

I don't remember any spring practice as closed off as this year. After all of the great recruiting and the returning guys, it's like sleepy corner here, like nothing being reported. Is this because CHF wants to try to keep our opponents from catching on to some super secret players? Or just not wanting to let Auburn faithful build up expectations? I dunno. I find this peculiar.

This apparel deal is all about recruiting, especially in basketball. If you are not running Nike, you are at a disadvantage in BB recruiting. Same for T&F. As for FB, I don't think it is such a big issue. But I hope CBP gets his way on this, because otherwise he might be more inclined to leave. JMO.

I've raised this question about CBP maybe leaving Auburn before. There are several factors that I think CBP would consider. I don't think OSU has any of the attractive features. So, as for CBP to OSU, I think NOPE!

Um, well, on a road/neutral floor, yes. But of course, I'm hoping Auburn can actually beat teams like Bama and Kansas on a road/neutral floor. I think the SEC Championship games will tell us a lot about how well Auburn can play against tourney teams away from Neville Arena. I'm hopin' Auburn be smokin' !!!!

This is why I was hoping UT would beat UK. If UT won, Auburn is in the top 4. With UK win, Auburn is pushed out despite our win over UGA tonight.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of nepotism anywhere anyplace anytime. So I sincerely hope that is not a requirement for keeping CBP at Auburn.

As to the OP -- Historically, the GOP (and its predecessor conservative ilk), was the protector of individual freedom, natural rights, freedom of expression, separation of religion and state, racial equality (Lincoln was a Republican), etc. The current GOP is all about conformity, everyone must think and speak and act like us! Suppression of women's rights and minority rights, suppression of voting rights, limiting freedom of speech (book banning and right wing agenda in schools), etc. March to the right wing drummer or die!

1. Daily Mail is a right wing tabloid. 2. Daily Mail is a British right wing tabloid, not U.S. There is zero factual info to even hint at this kind of stuff. Just more wingnut conspiracy theory crap.

Auburn just needs to take care of business Saturday. Being part of the scrum at the 2-spot is a lot better than being left behind the bunch-up. Damm, Tennessee is playing tough ball right now, and Kentucky is peaking (as we could anticipate) as tournament time arrives.

Not only that, but we are playing on a Tuesday instead of a Wednesday !!!!!! OMG !!!! But yes, our guys need to be focused EVERY game, because in the SEC, even the bottom dwellers like Misery can do upsets.

This is really sad for Lior. He was maybe not destined for the NBA, but he worked his butt off for our Tigers and to go down with only a few games remaining is just sad. A reminder that life is not fair. But still, get healthy again LB and life is yet to come.

Every time I get excited about a new commitment, my brother reminds me that, until the LOI is signed, they are not Auburn family.

The apparel deal is certainly important to the coaches and the players, not just in FB and BB, but other sports as well. But the issue with administrators is more about money. Auburn ain't Oregon, so Nike is not dumping historic totals on our Tigers. UA is fighting for their lives, losing client schools. I know a lot of players are caught up in the social wonder of Nike. And that affects recruiting for some recruits. But is the issue great enough to encourage CBP to leave?

Smith has improved his game 100% this year. He is a total force inside. Certainly more than Broome can handle by himself. That young man will definitely be playing in the NBA. I'll be interested to see how CBP handles this. Yes, a very important game, and a tough one. Auburn really needs to win this game and Misery to remain in the seeding for a bye in the SEC tourney.

Knecht is a sure-fire first round NBA pick ---- and I am soooo glad he will be gone after this year!

We will see UGA again in the coming weeks as SEC play winds down. Hopefully, Auburn can win that game even without JW. With a road game against UT and with Miss State coming to town, I'm hoping Auburn can beat down UGA and Misery, maybe pull out a W against MSU maybe. If so, finish in the top 4 in league play to secure a bye in the SEC championship. Is anyone other than me surprised that Auburn is now ranked #11 nationally, with the only SEC team ranked higher being UT? Mystery to me.

Exactly what I said. Try reading comprehension.

I have no specific insider information, just my longtime interest in Auburn Sports. 1. Auburn is once again in negotiations with UnderArmor vs Nike. IMO, this is a big issue for CBP going forard because it has hampereed his abiliy to pull in elite players in the at. 2. We all know that kids love Nike. We all know that CBP has lost top recruits to schools heavy crazy on Nike. Auburn is currently in negotiations with both Nike and Under Amour. If CBP decides he cannot win a championship at Auburn because (lack of NIL) or (Auburn brand affiliation), might he jump: Not to forget, CGP started out in the Midwest. Ohio State, Iowa,
