I think Auburn basketball has sucked historically. Sorry that not everyone is delusional enough to think a program that has zero national championships, zero final fours, and has only been past the sweet sixteen once in their entire history....

So you are a fan of a team you think sucks.
We happen to like our team.
Which group sounds more well adjusted to you?
Have a nice day!

The most well adjusted fan is probably the fan that is realistic enough to know what his team is. This definitely eliminates Bammer basketball fans

Yep. It's real easy to tell how "well adjusted" you are.

We know what out BBteam is.
We also know where we want our BB team to be.
And we know what kind of coach it will take to get us there.
All we need to do is hire that coach.
And I think you are scared shitless that we will.

Thank God you were just flaming. I was starting to believe you were actually this stupid.
Just to be clear, no one thinks Alabama is an elite or even great program. Our basketball tradition is not going to lure in a coach. What we do have to offer a mid major coach like Marshall is 3-4 million dollars, a massive recruiting budget with anything he needs, a fan base that will fill a 15,000 seat arena for a winning team, the chance to have every single game on national tv, and the opportunity to play UK, UF, Arkansas, LSU, etc instead of Illinois State, Evansville, and Bradley.

Bama is more than able to write a big check. I doubt they write one to Gregg Marshall - I think he is happy and content coaching where he is at for now.

Not one Bama fan has said our basketball program is elite or on the level of UK or UF. But our team can damn sure do better than anything Anothony Grant trotted out on the court the last few years.

This sums it up. Anyone saying otherwise is making shite up.

The response from Auburn fans in this thread is just hilarious that we are somehow delusional. Bama has always had a pretty good basketball history and the fact that we are now wiliing to spend money to try and take it to elite status has them very worried. We are prepared to drop major $$$$ to lure the top talent available and are willing to give them everything necessary to succeed. Basically, we are trying to replicate with basketball what we did with Saban and football. Even if we don't land Marshall, Bama has signaled its intent to bring basketball to our football teams level of success. Will it happen overnight and we turn into Kentucky? No. But they should be worried.

You have kept this thread alive for 43 pages. Move on. You've said some absolutely ignorant shite and have lost all credibility.

That is the thing. I don't think y'all get Marshall, but if Auburn can hire a guy like Pearl with their historically shite program and we can hire Howland in our current state, then it wouldn't be all world shocking if Bama got Marshall.
Certainly nothing to argue about for days on end.

Tell me 1 season that bama has won an SEC championship in football( not even a national championship) and made it to the sweet sixteen in basketball...
You keep saying this as if it is some compelling argument, which it isn't. But just to humor you (and hopefully get you to shut the frick up and stop repeating this talking point over and over) according to your link Alabama won a football SEC championship in 1981 and went to the Sweet Sixteen with the 1981-1982 basketball team; Alabama won a football SEC championship in 1989 and went to the Sweet Sixteen with the 1989-1990 basketball team. Those would be considered the same seasons, or at a minimum Alabama football was the reigning conference champion while the basketball team was in the Sweet 16. So, I'm not sure why you keep repeating this.
Additionally, Alabama football and basketball have had overlapping conference championship seasons (regular season and/or tournament for basketball) on multiple occasions.
This idea that success in football in a year means Alabama can't have success in basketball the same year is ridiculous. Alabama has an okay basketball history and an elite football history, but the link you are trying to make is stupid.

Believe me the feelings are mutual.
The truth about AU and UA Basketball Programs,is that they will have a hard time attracting proven coaches for the reason you claimed is a draw.
For College Basketball Coaches, the NCAA Tournament is everything. The key to the Tournament is seating. If you use Marshall as an example, you see where his early career resulted in a 12-16 Seed, regardless of record. Those One Bid Conferences usually fall in those spots. When he moved to WSU, same thing happened. As he developed a reputation, his seeding increase. He has now established his program at least at a level of an 8 seed. I doubt he cares who he plays in the regular season. As a matter of fact, he probably perfers playing the ISU, Evansville or Bradley over the wear and tear of an SEC Schedule. Any coach that comes in the SEC, will have to spend 5 years in order to push their program to the > a 5-8 Seed. There are yearly exceptions to this rule, but look at everyone besides KY and UF over the last 5 years.

Agree. Its important to be comfortable while also having a good view of the action.

You call my arguments shite and then you come up with the complete nonsense that just because Auburn and State got decent coaches means Bammer will.
That is about the most shite tarded argument ever, Howland took the Moo State job because they were the only major school to offer him since he left UCLA. Even other conference schools like Missouri, Tennessee, and Aubrn all passed on him.
Auburn was likely the first and probably the only major school to offer Pearl last year. He decided to take the job rather than wait around for a better offer that might or might not come along in the future

My God why is this thread 40+ pages?
Without reading any of it, I'm guessing it's a who's who of Auburn/Alabama terrible posters?
