For years my company had a large plant in Fayetteville and during the 90s I took a group of employees from there to an Arkansas NCAA Regional game in Winston-Salem, NC. Suffice it to say, never have I been more embarrassed than that afternoon being among that "we-uns don't get out much" group. Despite beating the sh*t out of their overmatched opponent, they yelled and screamed insults at the officials and other team the entire game. So, why not learn to win with class and sh*t-can the contrived Arkansas air of superiority. After all, if not for Wal-Mart and Tyson Foods, the state would rival a quasi-third world country. In the end, Auburn played like sh*t tonight without their starting point guard in front of a hostile crowd reminiscent of the aforementioned group. Yet, despite it all, the game still went into OT and next week Auburn will still be ranked near the top, So, show some class and enjoy the win like the thousands who rushed the court thinking the local beer distributor was giving away $1 dollar off coupons for Keystone Light 15 packs.


This is how you melt kids. If your tissue soft employees can’t bear to hear fans raising hell for their team, make sure to only take them to the friendly confines of Auburn arena. Don’t take too many employees though, a high school basketball court fills up fast. You may not be entertained, or even impressed with the basketball played there, but you can rest assured that you won’t hear any vulgarity or excessive noise from the genteel, cultured attendees.

Still not certain whether it was an ugly slugfest or a thing of beauty.


It was both. Definitely not mutually exclusive. I have watched a shite-ton of basketball this year. It keeps my mind off of things I'd rather not think about, and AU and SEC hoops have really been a personal bright spot. Touchy feely, no homo, not that there is...

My dog, some good hoops, a bit of weed, the morning's feel better about everything pill combo, a drink or two and a half a pack of cigs and I am good to go.

And we do the same exact thing every pre game. They didn’t do anything they haven’t all year. And it wasn’t directly on it. It was on our side of warmups and not right at mid court. The whole “you stood on our mascot” is such a bitch thing. Who gives a frick anyways?

Bud Walton Arena opened in 1994 at a construction cost of $30 million (half paid for by Sam Walton.

Auburn "high school" Arena opened in 2010 at a construction cost of $86 million.

In the end, don't be hating on those of us who prefer FIRST CLASS quality over TOURIST CLASS quantity. Case-in-point: The Georgia Dome opened 2 years before Bud Walton at a construction cost of $220 million. However, it was deemed obsolete as a world class sporting/entertainment venue and was demolished in 2017 soon after its replacement -- the $1.6 BILLION dollar Mercedes Benz Stadium -- opened its doors with 10,000 fewer seats.

It's a new day Plato -- one in which large capacity, cheaply built arenas aren't anything to brag about.

Bud Walton is showing its age for certain, but whatever percentage of it being paid for by donors is most likely no more than the percentage paid for your high school arena by donors, so yeah.

Well for starters 30 million in 1994 is 44 million in 2010, but please tell me what it is about Auburn Arena that puts Bud Walton behind it? Then maybe we can talk about how a true FIRST CLASS facility allows you to pack over 20,000 rabid fans into the game.

Did you pay for the tix or did the company pay? If it’s the latter, you didn’t take them, the company did. I have to laugh when some douche bag says “so and so works for me” even though they both work for a company. If you don’t sign their checks, they don’t work for you.

As a Senior VP of a Fortune 500 corporation at the time, my budget was hit with the cost of the tickets, corporate jet, hotel and meals/entertainment. So yeah, the company paid for it in the end, but without my invite they wouldn't have gone to the game. And BTW grammatically challenged troll, I have little doubt that this here "douce" has paid more in taxes in a single day than you have made in lifetime earnings. Now, any more words of wisdom Einstein?

All that money doesn’t make up for transferring the Barnhill magic to Bud Walton.

Barnhill Arena was a great 9,000 seat capacity arena with a great environment like aubie has now, well now since they don’t suck, but a bigger place was needed because of the fans who could fill it.

Our basketball and baseball programs make money and don’t depend on football to support them. Maybe bigger isn’t better, but the more folks who get to see the games is great for the fans and program.

Bud Walton Arena is very nice, perhaps visit before you judge it.

I’ve heard everything now. An Auburn fan telling others to win with “class”. AU wouldnt know class if it smacked them in the teeth. Better watch out Bama. AU is coming on extremely strong in the whining competition.
