Ok

To be fair. Someone had to ride that NCAA probation train for four years to get us back to normal and Mike did a decent job.

He brought in Antoine Caldwell, Javier Arenas, and a lot of the depth that made up the 2008-09 teams

And I'm glad we get to dump on him and not Sylvester Croom who everybody agrees is a solid guy. I do not want to know what some of our yahoos would have had to say about Croom when those teams inevitably failed due to sanctions.

Do it, hell yea

But Hoover give the SEC way too much. That lil convention center AND parking for motorhomes?

it's hard to beat

Speaking of Equestrian, I was actually thinking of going to the SMU vs Auburn meet (contest, game, match) or whatever it is called tomorrow here in Dallas.

#1 Auburn vs #2 SMU

---

ok

SMU being good at this makes sense, a buncha god awful rich horse girls in Dallas is what one would expect

Murphy built this program but sonofabitch if we haven't failed to live up to expectations for a full decade now

and I am preliminarily bitching about Oklahoma getting to play home games in the WCWS

Wonder if that isn't the mindset of a lot of coaches of top teams

Not my team

we gotta get that first win and then see what we can do on a neutral court against one of the team's that beat us

we could tumble to the 3 spot, which, isn't the end of the world but still

I will say I would be super pissed to be the 2 seed that drew our 3 seed

I will always hate that we only got a sweet 16 with two NBA players on the court with Miller and Clowney

but at least we got to the sweet 16

how the hell you gonna drop that game with Kessler and Jabari?

Hey I genuinely believe you guys will get past the first weekend of the tournament this time

I believe in you guys

losing back to back games right before the SEC tournament starts? Heading into the final game with morale at all time low? Alabama fans questioning their sanity?

Y'all this is a throw back, that man respects the classics!

At least we ain't a bubble team this time!

I like Mark Sears. He puts his head down, plays the game and seems to be a person of incredible character. But he is an above average player that needs to learn to use his right hand more. His size is not hurting him in my opinion, it’s just his lack of high level talent. He is the Milroe of bamas football team. Turns the ball over a shite ton but sometimes pulls a huge shot or 4th and 31 pass for a TD like Jalen. He will be a very late pick if picked at all.

Every part of this I disagree with.

He was an all important contributor on the Brandon Miller team and was leading us in the tournament as Miller dealt with an injury. I would argue that if Mark Sears doesn't get poked in the eye, literally a finger up under his eye lid, and have to go out for extended minutes we win that damn game.

He was our team leader last year, his performance in the NCAA tournament is a direct reason why we made it to literally our one and only appearance in the final four.

He has played exactly at the level we need him to this year. He is owner of an insane amount of wins, and wins of consequence in an Alabama uniform. Like, my god, if we retired jerseys for accomplishments in an Alabama uniform this is the guy in the Oats era that would be number 1 on the list.

edit: I said every part of this I disagree with and now feel obligated to say I love Mark but he is too short to be a reliable defender in the NBA it is what it is so I do agree he will not be drafted

God I hate Florida Basketball

They've been whipping our arse for the majority of my adult life and I have such a bad feeling about this one
