AUreo 764 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Heavy rain all night and all morning in Auburn. Weather forecast is somewhat more favorable for the rest of the day (but still some more rain expected later today and tonight).

I really wish they would just do this in the arena, tbh. Last year it was cancelled due to rain and then this year the dunk contest was cancelled. Weather in the fall in Alabama is too unpredictable and rainy to have anything outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think a ton of the appeal of this event is the novelty of doing it outside, plus they seem to schedule it around pro day and I doubt they have the time or desire to get the arena back ready for that. But Lord, my legs would certainly be thankful to do it there vs here. Good grief that was long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 9,091 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Japser’s form is at least 21x better than Wendell’s. He’s got the Lonzo or KD sort of windup on the left side of his body, but his follow through and release point is better than UCLA Lonzo’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it looked like it was a lot of fun. The ball was definitely dropped towards the last 15 mins or so, a lot of people seemed about willing to go after the initial 3 pt event, and it certainly peaked with Flan draining like 88% of shots on one leg They also definitely need to find a way to close in some of that time between festival and event. 3 hours, largely standing, and then asking folks to stand for another 2 on hard cement is asking ALOT. Esp when about half that 2 is just interviews and gap time I’m not a big school spirit guy, so factor that in, but I know how to read emotions, and the tempo and emotion of this one was definitely lesser compared to the previous one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
