They're on their board trying to convince themselves that Rick Pitino and Billy Donovan are their top targets.

Self is still sitting on the court by himself trying to figure out how to stop Auburn from raining 3s at fuggin will.

I think it's more of the fact that all of their main rivals are doing well at basketball at the same time, and they are inept.

We don't measure ourselves against your success little brother. We want to be successful regardless of your failure or success. Good luck the rest of the way.

People post stuff like this, pretending that it's everyone, and not just a few, and that there's not ferocious dissent.

Carry on, barner.

I'm sure this may be true for you, but posts on your bama board indicate otherwise

I can’t recall the last time I even looked at the Auburn board

That always happens for coaching searches.

The fact you hang out on a Bama board while Aubie is having some success in Basketball says much about who is obsessed.

Haha, sure.

The Alabama basketball season thread is consumed with talk of Bruce Pearl and Auburn.

I think anyone saying Donovan is doing so tongue in cheek. I don’t think any rational Alabama fan thinks he is an option.

Pitino is another story. We could get him easily but I’m not sure that Byrne would go that direction. For the record, I would love to have Pitino. He would bring instant excitement. And depending on transfers and keeping the recruiting class intact, would have us in the dance his first year.

I've never looked at the AU board and never will. We don't measure our success/failure based off anyone. It's simply based on our standards and Avery simply wasn't working out.

Fun fact: Alabama has never made a Final 4 in basketball.

Going after Donovan probably is not realistic, unless someone in the know, knows he is unhappy in the NBA. With that said, it should be noted that Bama has went after coaches on the professional level on other occasions and has enjoyed a modicum of success. The board would melt should they land either one!

Could be the one time where both fan bases have to shut the frick up about it. Alabama fans couldn’t say anything after giving Auburn grief about hiring a coach on show cause. And Auburn fans couldn’t say anything because they did the same thing 5 years ago.

Another check in the “pros” column for Pitino.

You talking about the 8 poster circle jerk that is the Bama board? They certainly don't speak for all Bama fans. Some of us are older than the experts and insiders in there.
Oh, and they day the barn drives Bama to do anything will be the coldest day in hell ever.
Good luck the rest of the way.
