It brings up a good point especially for Tennis, 90% of the folks are not from the USA. Not sure the value they bring to the Universities.

They do, have hats, shirts, etc... but not with the SEC logo.

The AU Club, home of the golf team has them on order.
Until there is a thread titled "As the Grove Burns", I am not going to believe it.

Florida, Tenn, LSU.... Drop back to 10 and play 9 games.
Auburn struggling at -1 for the day and currently two strokes back in 6th place. Still time, but...

But she does, she is also smart. I disagree with everything she stand for, but facts is facts.
Hard to rank 16 schools, but Oklahoma is beautiful and different, looks ivy league. Below is the library, but many buildings match it. So it is #1 for me.
I think TAMU is the worse, non-descript buildings. MSU is also toward the bottom.



Basketball is international now. Great trip

No you do not, it is usually a friend, etc. that will always tell you there is more money out there. I heard the same thing about SWA.

Sports as I knew it is over. Still entertaining, but fewer players we will relate to.

"If you love Auburn, Auburn will love you back" (Dye). This is a true statement.... I think the folks on your list respected it and did love it....

The following two not so much...
Tiny Tot Bowden
Potato Farmer Harsin.

The melt over Cohen may be too early. How is our AD dept in revenue, fundraising and facilities? That’s probably the biggest thing they do.


He is milking the boosters, scholarship holders, etc. for $$$. I understand that is part of it. Prices have gone up 40-50% the last couple of years for every sport.

Hard to find facts, but this Ttown Report showed, Auburn has the second highest (UTK with the highest) cost for a family of 4 to go to an opening round SEC game. Ttown 2023. Our tickets are 50% over the average, etc.


Calculations did not include other costs often incurred by fans including lodging for overnight stays, travel and food other than stadium concessions.

Alabama $649.76 $30 $16.96 $16.96 $713.68

Hiring and firing are the key metric to an AD....

--Freeze, I still blame Cohen....

--Golesh (Screwed up the search and made Auburn settle for our second choice). May work out, but it will not be due to Cohen.

--Steven Pearl (Had no real choice), why did Bruce leave and what did Cohen do to stop it. This is the real story.

-- Women's Bball coach, certainly not a HR hire. Hired the weakest of three candidates.

I remember Auburn fans crowing about how they "stole" Cohen from us. We tried to warn y'all. "Sour grapes", they said. We all see who was right now don't we Aubie?


You were right.... Knows how to squeeze money from fans, terrible at results...
Inexperienced head coach.... A few game suspension, yes... If it was for the season, just kick him off.
Bama will smoke them in the second half... First round games are not an indication of how well you will do as long as you win and advance.
Next year is make or break for Steven. My biggest fear was motivation and desire. Could he motivate a team? The answer was no. You dont have the big wins, then self destruct the last third of the season without poor coaching. Injuries (Opurum), roster misses (Hall), and suspensions (Magwood) also killed this team. We were down to 6 players this year and we wore out late in games and the season.
We went to the final 4 last year. Won the SEC.
Florida is getting their moneys worth for sure. Auburn got a final 4. Still we spent over 10 mil on this team. Big miss on Hall, the signs were there.
