For sure. We’ll exchange info and we can get some grub and/or a few adult beverages too if you’re there longer than just the game.

The only thing wrong with Coleman is the viewing experience for the fans. It’s also a nightmare trying to leave the game
I would disagree on some points there. It looks bad on Tv. Having the media section take up almost an entire quadrant of premium seats while in the view of the TV cameras is inexcusable. That should have been cured decades ago and is still simply not explained. It has bad acoustics and lighting which make it appear and sound very bad when the arena isn't at packed capacity. Legacy arena was built in the mid 70's yet feels multi generations more modern than Coleman. I certainly think those things all have an effect on the team. We don't have a great home court intimidation factor.

There are places to park where you can get out fast. Stop parking wherever you are parking and I'm not saying you are wrong in your experiences but look around. Look behind the Coliseum, not the other way, not the parking decks, not the soccer fields.
That place rocks when it matters. It gets more shite than it should. We are really good at home, probably top 7-8 last 5 years. I'm starting to like folks whining about it, embrace it. What can you do?
As far as viewing experience, and if you don't have season tix, buy tix in the end zones. You'll get closer to the court for your money. It's not even close.

I agree about sitting along the baseline behind the goal. You are closer plus the action under the goal is right in front of you and it’s awesome to watch.

Before the new arena talk started, there was a plan to renovate Coleman seating by rounding out the corners, breaking the sides down to upper and lower sections with students in the lower part of the lower side section, and putting in some box/ club options. Rounding the corners off would cure that current view problem.

See I'd still be stoked to have this. The students get new seating and it improves the lighting issues in Coleman. I think just wanted a new arena all together because it leaves a pretty big legacy from him at UA..

The Kai/NYT trial update. Today will be day 7.

I do not like this one bit. I don't care about the heckling at the game as much as our own students on the strip.

Athletes were pretty revered when I was in school there. You'd wait and talk your shite about someone when you get back to your apartment.

"It was the first time I've ever been heckled like that," he told the jury. "There were people screaming my name and number, saying I was a killer and a murderer. ... I was really just hurt. All of those people are strangers and don't know who you are."
The heckling wasn't limited to faceless fans in the crowd, either.
Spears told the jury about one incident in particular where he was walking along The Strip to get something to eat at Chipotle Mexican Grill.
"I was walking alone," Spears said. "I knew they were kind of fraternity dudes and they were across the street. They recognized me and these are my fellow students and they're screaming at me that I'm a killer in public on The Strip."
The unrelenting pressure began to affect his ability to focus that spring semester and his grades began to suffer, Spears said, resulting in the freshman having to drop the only class of his college career when his marks started to slip.
When asked about how he felt after it was revealed that it was Lee in the car with Miller, Spears testified that it didn't provide much relief.

Color me skeptical. I seriously doubt Fraternity guys at a place like Alabama even knows what our starters look like, much less a walk on that never played

he was on scholarship at that point and did play some.
I knew most of the players when I was in school, certainly all of the hoops players, just not that many of them.

Huh? So did you know some, most, or all? I'm confused
Anyways the point I'm making is, the fraternity guys when I was in school 20 years ago are not that entirely different than the fraternity guys that are currently in school. We cared about basketball then and even if they are more involved now I cannot imagine that they would A.) see him walking alone and recognize him. B.) not stick up for one of our own players C) care enough about it to even say something

I said I certainly knew all the hoops players. Sorry about you being confused. I hope you get over it.
What's weird is thinking our player is making this story up.

That lower level corner (top right corner of the court) section has always bothered me with this design. Half of that section isn't seeing anything on the goal on the opposite end. I don't understand why where isn't more symmetry

I don't understand why the writer was so hell bent on naming Spears being in the car with Miller. He was not a high profile guy at the time unless it was because his dad was a AD.

2K has arrived at auburn. Will they come to Tuscaloosa?
Posted on 8/19/26 at 4:36 pm to ChauvinisticPigAttit
If you spend 50,000 VC on your 2k27 MyPlayer they will consider it.
Posted on 8/19/26 at 5:21 pm to McGregor
They did the same here. They don't need much evidence and don't care about the facts or getting all the information out before destroying any one of our players.

The jury should light them up with punitives. Even if they had gotten the passenger's identity right they ran with that information for the sole purpose of impugning his reputation without any other information to suggest he was involved in or even had knowledge of anything.
