So fewer Final Fours. My point exactly. You of all people should know how hard it is to make an NCAA Tourney run that deep considering Tennessee has never accomplished such a thing in its entire history. LOL.

Only Tennessee and Florida can talk shite about Oats tbh


Pointing out facts about Oats’s piss pour NCAA tournament resume isn’t talking shite. It’s literally just listing facts.

Another fact for you: Auburn has won 8 of its last 12 games against the Vols. Sounds like by your own definition, you should shut the F up about Auburn because we’ve absolutely owned you for the past decade.

Tennessee fans are butthurt because Pearl was able to have more success at Auburn than what their program was able to allow him to do. Tennessee is and will always be a program who can’t make it deep in the NCAA Tournament.

It does my heart good to see this thread, the time you’ve invested in it and how much derangement Nate Oats has caused you. I look forward to seeing what shite you cook up when he whips baby Pearl like he did daddy Pearl.

Based on your own post, you proved your #1 and #2 points as irrevocably false and lies


The writing was on the wall buddy. Bama knew Auburn was in the midst of an historic run, and they panicked and fired their coach.

It’s just like this year. The writing was on the wall that Bama was incapable of winning big games, so Oats be-clowned himself by having to blatantly cheat in order to try to salvage the season.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. It’s literally the motto of Alabama basketball.

Pearl went to his second final 4 in year 11 at Auburn. Oats has been there 6 years. Are you stupid? You can't compare that. In their 6 year overlap Oats was objectively better. That's coming from someone who hates both programs.

From 2020 to present day. The time they overlapped Oats has had more tournament success. Thats a fact.

Yeah and Vols still have a winning record against Auburn thats not close. Vols have a winning record over the last 5 meetings. And before Pearl abondoned yall, he lost to Tennessee one last time.

He was at Auburn for double the time he was at Tennessee you idiot. If he hadn't cheated and lied to the NCAA he would've been at Tennessee this whole time so not sure what your argument is. Auburn fans should rejoice everyday that he was dumb enough to lie to the NCAA and get fired or else their basketball program would be like their football, arse.

The 1 minute it took to type was absolutely grueling. You have no idea.

So a 7-5 record is whipping? If even one of Bama’s two OT wins over Pearl had gone the other way, their head-to-head would be tied.

How about this: you celebrate your 7-5 head to head record and we’ll celebrate Pearl’s five seasons to win an SEC Title compared to Oats’ two, and we’ll celebrate Pearl’s two Final Fours to Oats’ one lucky run.

This is the difference between Auburn and Alabama basketball fans now. Auburn fans are focused on Championships and Final Fours. Bama fans are focused on beating Auburn.

Oats came to Bama a year after Bama played in a 2nd round game in the NCAA Tourney. Pearl came to Auburn when Auburn was in a 12-year drought of making the Tournament.

You’re an idiot if you think they inhereted similar situations, but then again you’re VFL67.

How convenient to start the clock after a Final Four run for Auburn.

My God, is this how desperate Tennessee fans are now days? D riding bama in an effort to try to disparage Auburn. Wow how desperate yall have become.

Look at all the replies that have followed. Oats has you fricked up. Oats has a winning record against Auburn and daddy Pearl. Auburn didn’t cut down the nets at home last year because Alabama and Oats beat them on senior day.

That’s why we have this melt that has gone on since midnight.

LOL! Congrats on stopping us from cutting down the nets at home but failing to stop us from cutting down the nets.

This is quite sad. Bama fans are now content with moral victories of getting to watch Auburn win SEC Championships on an opponent’s court. Congrats I guess.

Just pointing out facts Oats had handled Auburn during Auburn’s best run in program history. He’s won multiple regular season titles, multiple tournament titles, has multiple sweet 16s and multiple elite eights. That one final four last season is the only reason you feel superior but ultimately Oats has as much if not more success since he got to Alabama.

And yet here you are, twelve hours in and still bitching about him.

Dude you are the idiot if you think comparing an 11 year coaching tenure is the same as a 6 year tenure. You can't compare the two unless Oats goes 5 more years.

You mean the year Oats and Pearl started coaching in the same league?

Nah, in the last two years I have seen Tennessee go to the college football playoffs, win a baseball natty, and go to back-to-back elite 8s. All things Auburn has never done

The only thing Auburn had going for themselves was Bruce Pearl and he retired in the middle of the night lol. Enjoy returning back to your historic place in the basketball standings, having a baseball coach with barely a .500 winning percentage, and the search for a winning season in football for the first time since covid lol. Im sure your 4th HC this decade can figure it out hahaha

Sometimes AUTiger789 starts a relatively informative thread with facts or data, and sometimes AUTiger789 lets his inner AU insecurities cause him to start an emotional outburst thinly veiled in facts or attempted humor. This is the latter…and it’s glorious!

Yes I’m pissed your jealous, desperate coach is trying to destroy college basketball, and I’m pissed your jealous inbred county judges are eaten up with hate for Auburn enough to assist him in the process. Some of us love college basketball and would never accept such blatant cheating just to try to catch up to a rival.

But like I said, yall are desperately jealous, so here we are.

How many Final Fours?

How many football national titles do you have this century? How many SEC titles?

Since the beginning of the century (2000-2025):

Auburn football has one national title; played for two, has 3 SEC Championships, and has a 7-1 head-to-head record against Tennessee.

In basketball, both teams have five SEC Championships. Auburn has two Final Four runs to Tennessee’s zero.

Waste not your time with these dullards! The other day I pointed out that LSU has been to 3 more final fours than Bama and their response was to brag about regular season victories.
