to beat Pearl's arse twice on his way out of Tuscaloosa. Great performance by our team and were actually fun to watch.
ETA: And because that was our 16th win and his thread is anchored, here's the link to bamafan's bet: LINK

Yeah that was a fun game
Our team showed a little bit of toughness tonight. Not as soft as they have shown all season

Do we still think he gets fired? Not trying to be a dick, I honestly don't know.

That was a really good game. I'll take a sweep over Auburn any day.

Can you expound on that?

Yep always great to sweep Auburn

I don't think he'll be back next year unless he wins the SEC tournament and makes the big dance. I don't see how Battle could justify bringing him back. A win against Auburn is nice, but Grant has less than 10% of the baskeball fanbase in his corner.

Oh hell yes he's still gone.... but that does make this win over the barn even funnier. Grant is now 2-0 vs PearlJam

Im with you I really don't know now. I mean its just one win but if they play like that consistently then who knows. I think when we bring back Tarrant it will throw things off. Retin needs to start. If not Retin J Cole.

He's had 6 years to establish a style of play and tonight wasn't the norm which is why it was even better to watch.
Grant's ultimate firing shouldn't be a one game swing type thing, not this long into a tenure. He is who he is and his record is what it is.

I still hope we make a run, and with the schedule it's possible.

Here's the deal:
OK, we beat a truly pathetic Auburn team twice this year. Even beat ATm (even though they had some injuries IIRC). Bama has won 3, count em, 3 SEC road games this year. I'm not sure Mark Gottfried won three SEC road games during his entire tenure here in Tuscaloosa.
But, we will follow up this win with yet another lack luster performance against somebody we have no damn business losing to.
Vanderbilt? Seriously? They fricking suck.
Florida? At home? I think you could put Florida uniforms on the first group of guys that walk out of your local walmart and Grant will find a way to lose to them.
and trust me, there will be more inexplicable losses to come.
That is Grant's problem.

It was actually a fun game to watch. Both Auburn games have been my favorites of the season. Congrats to the guys and Tony, too. Liked seeing him coach fired up. Confused as to why he hasn't done it at all throughout his whole tenure. I hope a nice win over a bad Auburn team doesn't have any of TPTB thinking twice. Roll Tide!

Nice win. Loved the way we played. It's not a one game season though. Grant's still toast (I think)

Gottfried was 20-62 in sec road games.

Those that have paid attention know that I have always been firmly in Grant's corner up until this season. The continued inconsistency from an offensive standpoint was the final straw for me personally. This team should have been in the running to finish second in the SEC and easily made the tournament, yet here we are in mid February with a 6-7 conference record.
Sweeping Auburn doesn't do anything for me. They are even more irrelevant in the college basketball world than we are and their roster is a complete train wreck. The difference is they have room for growth where I feel like we have reached a plateau with Grant. As much as I hate to say it, he's not the guy to get us to the next level.
This program needs new blood. A coach that is motivated and wants to work his way up the ladder to a destination job like Duke or Kentucky. A coach with a personality that will promote the program and get the fan base excited about the future. And we need to play a more exciting brand of basketball. An offensive oriented coach would help a lot in that regard.

Was that Pettway at the end in Pearls face? Kinda looked like Pettway was arguing with him.
