I was surprised at Christmas with tickets to the basketball game tomorrow and just saw that there is an autograph session scheduled after the game. Any seasoned vets have any advice regarding the autographs? Do they sell items to sign? Should outside items be brought? Will Bruce Pearl be signing autographs as well? This will be our first time making it back to Auburn for a basketball game since the new arena was opened. Any advice or experience is appreciated. Thanks!

They do autographs after every home game.

There is a team shop in the arena where shite can be bought, usually they have free schedule posters but run out a lot.

Not sure what all can be brought in.

Bruce is usually not out there when this is going on.

It was great.

The players were very kind and patient. They stayed for well over an hour and signed for everyone.

The line started at section 108 (where you enter the arena) on the second level and it wrapped down the entire length of the court and around to about midway down the baseline.

The players were messing with each other and taking pics with the kids in the arena.

Bruce Pearl has changed the culture of Auburn basketball forever.

Unfortunately we decided not to stick around to see the signing session through. We wanted to get some dinner in Auburn before getting back on the road to Mobile and since the weather was supposed to get worse we skipped the autographs. That aside the game was awesome. We had a good enough time to where spending several hundred on a good conference game doesn’t sound as crazy to me as it once did.

We started near the end of the line and waited 90 minutes to finally make it to the players. The players were still in good spirits and made my kid's day. Totally worth it.

Agreed

It's crazy how Bruce has put the PR blitz on from day 1. From talking w AD employees, it's a dream come true as every good idea gets green light + HC involvement. At other schools, it is pulling teeth to get a HC to fulfill minimum contractual obligations
