re: Avery Johnson officially hired as Alabama MBB coach

Is that what I said? Did I say you people were wrong because you were Auburn fans?

Or did I say you folks don't have any authority to pass judgment on the hire - due to your program's inability to produce a quality basketball team more than once a decade?

Either one is moronic.

Essentially, your opinion on the hire doesn't hold any water

No one on this board has an opinion that holds any water.

Your entire fanbase didn't acknowledge that basketball was even a sport until you hired Bruce Pearl, and you've finished with 6 consecutive losing seasons. You folks don't know or care anything about basketball because you've never been good at it enough to care for it. Bama is the butt of that joke frequently, but it's genuinely true with Auburn. Nobody cared about basketball in Auburn until Bruce Pearl showed up. So what do you know about the quality of a basketball hire?

---

So Auburn fans know nothing about the quality of a basketball hire because we aren't historically good? That's as dumb as your other statements.

You guys have just gotten all in a tizzy because Pearl showed up, somehow managed to lose to the coach we just fired - not once, but twice in the same year - and we just hired someone who will be a huge splash in the media and on the recruiting front.

---

This is doing exactly the same thing you're accusing Auburn fans of doing. This past year has no bearing on what Bruce can accomplish.

That's literally the only reason you guys care.

Some of us may be *gasp* basketball fans in general and it's something to discuss.
