re: How do Auburn fans feel about Bruce Pearl?

I'm glad he is at Auburn and I hope we can keep him a while. We have been pretty bad for over a decade. Lebo was below average and Barbee was a disaster. I had hoped we would be a little better this year, but I didn't realize what a hole we were starting in. I'm optimistic about the future and I look forward to the day when we are competitive in the SEC and can return to the Tourney.

And I've got to say, our run in the SEC tourney last year is probably the best thing we have seen out of Auburn basketball in five or eight years, which is pretty bad.

Is there a fire drill? The Auburn fans are streaming out of the arena.

So, it looked like an LSU football home game?

No one said he was a bad recruiter, just a bad coach. His recruiting masks a lot of his iniquities on the X's and O's side.

Love him, he'll get it turned around next couple of years.

Is this the same source you got your ATPB can't miss info?

I had no sources with any of the ATPB nonsense..lol. I do have a friend in Memphis whose friend is very close to Pearl. He was told that Memphis would come hard after BP when/if Pastner is let go and that BP would likely take the job. Take it for what it's worth but the same source was absolutely dead on about everything that was going to go down in the Albert Means scandal. He's heavily plugged into the U of Memphis and the area sports scene in general.

Love Bruce. He's climbing a muddy mountain and it' gonna take him a while. He is good for Auburn and Auburn is good for him. He's in a no-pressure situation and he's recruiting well. I expect us to compete as a bubble team next season, and after that be a perennial contender for the tourney. He's great and his kids and the Auburn family love the guy.
