We'll never keep a great coach without a new arena.

Everything in there is up to date. It’s just not a good viewing experience. This idea that the arena is going to drive away a coach is overblown.

Oaks needs to do some recruiting in the line of key support. Get the Saban’s politicking for the new arena. Get the Goat involved

Look at what we have spent on football and look at what we have invested in the basketball program. Ratio taken into account, its not even close. A basketball coach can see this too. A great coach could go to another school in a heartbeat where basketball is taken seriously......Besides that, we need to move those sleepy fans on the sidelines and get the students down front. I hate auburn but their whole basketball arena and seating set-up is better than our and gets their loudest fans court-side; and in view of the cameras. So their arena looks like its going bonkers.

Once again, Oats wouldn't have mentioned it the other day if it wasn't important to him. We need to get it going. It's not going to get cheaper.

How long must we slap lipstick on a pig?? That worked when we sucked but Oats is building a monster, this kind of thing doesn’t come around often. Give him everything and all the money.

Make it happen, Greg! Nate could be a HOF coach in the making…let’s keep him at Bama!! About to be 3 straight yrs in the tournament as a 6 seed or better and possibly 2 SEC championships in 3 yrs…get this done!!!

And the year were a 6th seed, we were disappointed going into the tournament. That's how good we are becoming. Either shite or get off the pot. Either we should do everything to be elite, or accept mediocrity and let Auburn be the state's flagship basketball school. Maybe even start a rivalry with Troy.

Is it possible this could be the mirror image of the Rupp-Bryant era at Kentucky? Would be a shame if Oats left because all we gave him was a watch while Saban gets a Cadillac. Give both a Cadillac.

15,000 are already coming. And we want to build smaller? Thousands will not be able to attend at this new arena.
Back when Wimp was packing it out, Coleman was considered one of the most difficult places to win a road game in the US.
KY got "rattled" in Coleman 2 weeks ago. lsu looked like they had seen a ghost. When they built Coleman, the University had about 18,000 students and now we have 38,000
students? Yes we need a smaller gym.
