Sheesh, we're now claiming the longsuffering devotion of the Auburn Basketball fanbase?

Yes, that's me.

I was 8 I saw Chris Porter and that 99 team play and I was hooked. Basketball had already been my favorite sport to play well before that. I was 11 years old when I watched Marquis Daniels nearly lead Auburn to an upset of eventual National Champion Syracuse and Carmelo Anthony in 2003.

I then suffered watching every miserable season for over half my life until we finally made it back to the NCAAT last season when I was 26.
