Auburn for not being selected for tourney after UT beat down of Miam of Ohio. Bruce knew what he was talking about.

Awestruck, I see above you are staying pat. Missed that. Sorry.

Corch, we cannot all be geniuses like you with the perfect post. My intention was to elicit opinions, including names of potential replacements available now, or as some have suggested, including you, that you would not replace Pearl Jr. Guys like you discourage sensible posts when there is a real debate among many AU basketball fans whether Pearl Jr. should have been given anything other than an interim position, much less a 5-year contract. Convince me that anyone else in the SEC would have hired him as their basketball coach without any previous head coaching experience. I'm listening.

We have regressed.

I recall the great Nebraska teams of the 60's and early 70's were known for their older teams with lots of key redshirt seniors. Those are days of a bygone era now with NIL promoting a highest bidder mentality and early departure for the NFL.

Memphis would be a good fit for Durkin as the next HC. One of the recurrent knocks on his HC candidacy at AU was that he needed to have demonstrated he could win as a HC elsewhere first (after the Maryland problems and multiple stops as a DC afterwards). If he leaves AU, then I hope he goes to Memphis as their HC rather than to another SEC school as the DC. Another lateral move is not in his best interest or that of AU.

Bernie Kosar and Miami, not FSU, beat Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Nebraska was a really talented team. Not sure how they managed to lose that game.

Apparently CBM can transfer within the SEC if the MSU player is transferring to us now.

That was a great team.

Maybe Comb's song "Where the Wild Things Are", although it does not end well.
