Yeah, that's all true too. Auburn fans know our basketball history. We haven't had a good team since 2003. Barbee left us in the gutter.

I don't disagree with one word he said.

AU sucks at BB. They still have as many national championships and elite eight appearances as UTk does.

We don't have a really strong basketball history outside of Bernie and Ernie and the pearl era

Real talk AF, but his Auburn team is really poorly coached this year. Looks like he's given up on even trying

Deep down, most UT fans wish he was still our coach.

And it seems like deep down, he wishes he was still our coach.

Exactly. We have been terrible since the late 90s. And we won't be terrible much longer, less than a year from now we will be well on our way to the NCAA tourney.

Good thing Bruce is recruiting really well and building the program virtually from scratch.

That's what I don't get. Is this a troll attempt? Every Auburn fan understands our basketball program is garbage. I've been going to UAB games for frick's sake!

Of all the coaches we've hired over the years, I truly believe Bruce can turn it around. The question will be can Auburn keep him if he does?

Still can't believe you guy's brought in Tyndall when you could've had Pearl.

The Huckabee lookalike had far more NCAA baggage than did Pearl.

If it took you to this point to know our team sucks then I am not sure what to tell you.

Well, yeah. I agree with him. Auburn has no business having a thriving basketball program, but Bruce is building one from scratch.

Bruce will leave at the first decent opportunity IMO.

Excepting that, it was remarkably honest. A refreshing departure from the delusional Fambly.



This doesn't make any sense. Have you ever heard an Auburn fan say that Auburn was as traditionally good at basketball as Tennessee?

No.

This isn't a shot at his coaching ability, but Tennessee can't hire a coach with his baggage. We simply have to have more confidence in that.
