saying Pearl should be praised for mediocrity because Auburn was never good at basketball before he got there

It's called the Bianco argument and can work for a lot of fan bases but it only has a 3 year shelf life.

There was a thread on here yesterday saying Pearl should be praised for mediocrity because Auburn was never good at basketball before he got there. If this is the mentality on their board you’re dealing with over there you’re better off cutting bait. Trust me. They won’t admit it but they know it’s already over.

In their eyes his one Sweet 16 appearance in 10 years is a massive achievement.

Mediocrity?

What Pearl has built is well above anything close to mediocrity relative to Auburn's basketball history. He has them in contention or winning the SEC most years and he has them in the ncaa tourney every damn year.

Auburn is in the midst of their Golden Age of basketball, AU fan know that. A few jackasses that want to shite on Pearl and then make blatant comparisons to Oats wouldn't likely be tolerated on any team board if the roles were reversed.
