Yes. We just spent a frickton of money on a state of the art arena and we are shelling out for Bruce Pearl.


That's just the beginning of it...

Do you seriously think (not kidding, want your serious opinion) that enough folks will care enough about basketball down there to feed the program?

Do you realize how many people have ordered season tickets today? I cannot put a number on it right now but I have seen dozens of message board posts today of people saying they just ordered or were talking to TUF

Bruce has already made a connection with the students and will tonight as well...he will bring an excitement to the student body that was previously unknown in Auburn

I think there is apathy because basketball has been so bad for so long. When Auburn basketball was respectable, the fans cared and games were fun.

Bruce Pearl is the perfect hire because of the energy he brings and what he'll do to promote the program. He'll get people into the gates early and expectations will be pretty low because of the last few years so he'll have some time to get something going.

I think he'll have Auburn a respectable basketball program down the road.
