re: No gloating on the Pearl hire . . . just yet

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.
