They’ve seen quite a bit of success recently and the fanbase seems to have enjoyed the win over LSU more than they enjoyed winning the Iron Bowl back in November. Congrats to Auburn and I’m glad they now have something to cheer for. They have a very good basketball program now and it should continue under Bruce Pearl.

Basketball has a championship caliber coach, and football has a coach we’re all waiting to be fired. It is what it is.

No question.

2nd tier football team, surging BBall team. They’re basically Michigan from last year.

We have just finally found a coach that can take advantage of AUs location and resources. I do not think this is just a phase. If Pearl stays 5-7 more years, he will establish a solid BB fanbase.

Maybe. At least until the NCAA investigations start.

Basketball has a coach that took a dumpster fire of a program and made it a national power

Football has a coach that took a respectable program and is currently coasting it to four and five loss seasons

NCAA could destroy Auburn and Arkansas would still not win the conference or make the sweet 16 anytime soon.

I’ve never figured out why the pigs hate us so badly. Guess misery likes company.

Yes. They are good at basketball and their fans obviously care. The football team is above average and can’t beat the rivals (well, minus the iron bowl this year). I’d say they are transitioning to a basketball school

Because historically that has never happened before him right?

No facts, just emotions with some people.

The precedence of that caliber of season wasn’t the point, don’t be obtuse. The point is one of those coaches is infinitely better at breeding excitement and expectations than the other.

It’s why we are a #basketballschool
