Basketball thread

For all the joviality, that was a fun game to watch and it illustrates what the future is eventually going to be like.

About six minutes left I told my daughter LSU had one more run left and if we could survive that we'd win. They did. Got up by one. Then we hit a wild shot and pushed back. Game over -- even if the refs did try to screw us with that asinine traveling call.

We played hard. Didn't do well rebounding, had some possessions that were out of control but unlike past games we pulled it together and hung in.

I was happy with the effort. Happy with the win. One more recruiting class and we are gonna fuck some shit up.

This. Next year may be better but I still expect a struggle. Keep in mind that really the only one of our starting 5 that returns is Big Head Bowers. Akeem Sham-A-Lama Hussein Machmud Shadeen is a solid contributor and Jordon Granger has done some decent things recently. After that, we're basically starting over with a whole new set of recruits. Granted, these are supposed to be vastly more talented than what we normally get at Auburn, but still, they'll be freshmen. Not Kentucky freshmen. But, if they are as advertised and Pearl pays for...err...signs another class like them....said shift will indeed be F'd up.

Some of our recruits are McDonald's kids. One of them was promoted to fry cook just last week.

AU played good tonight even though they lost. The defense is pretty good. We are one scorer away from being a top SEC team.

Tough loss. Hard to beat a team that shots 50% and hits their free throws.

One more thing, Bowers will be fun to watch in person. Also, the AU crowd is getting mad props from many commentators. Its said to the loudest at least in the SEC.

SEC Road Win. Mason returned and AU beats the asshole of the SEC Universe, Georgia 69-68.
