Orphan Annies, clap clap clap clap clap....Orphan Annies...

They aren't Barry, but they did have a 6 game winning streak.

Tonight is Fuck Georgia night. On paper, it's probably the easiest game left on Auburn's schedule. The Flea-Bitten Mutts look epically bad, with a 5-12 overall record. They're 0-4 in the SEC and 0-3 on the road. (0-2 at neutral sites)

It's a game you hope they come out with focus and cruise to a 20 point win, but the Dawgs are at least capable. They do have win over Memphis and recently played a good A&M team to within 2 points.

Just take care of bidnezz, and start thinking about Kentucky tomorrow.

AP poll snub + KD's relationship with the UGA squad = mid-week beatdown.

FUGA!

A most glorious throttling of the Dawgs last night.

On to Mon Calimari's Big Blue Balls Squad. Going to be the toughest conference match up of the season. I like us being at home and the variety of ways we can score and defend.

This team is on the road to something very special.

That was very....satisfying.

You were at the game. Report please. Was the crowd as rowdy as they looked in TV. What was Lourde Bruce like on the sideline?

i saw the team get a little lax in the 2nd half. But they were up by 20+, so I think they started to try and have a little fun.
A few missed allyoops and a couple of other misses, but all in all, those shots only help the next ones.

KD had a good time and that was important for a former player to beat his old team. His enthusiasm fueled the other players.

fuga was pretty bad though. And AU's defense was smothering early on.

It will take ALL 40 minutes to beat UK.

That's the ONLY critique I have of this team so far...over the past few weeks to a month, it seems like they build a big lead and then tend to try for the sportscenter highlight plays until the other team climbs right back in the game. If they played with the same intensity for 40 minutes, I couldn't imagine anyone beating this bunch unless injuries pile up.

My seat was perched over the auburn bench. Watching the good lord Bruce stalk the sidelines and raise hell was a thing of beauty. But the place is pure magical. Rockin from start to finish. Very few empty seats. Every damn person in the place is directly over the court. Noise has nowhere to go but to the court. Reminds me slightly of how the swamp was designed for crowd noise. And Cameron indoor in a round ball sense. I was just looking around in the middle of us kicking Tom creans ass thinking - Bruce did all this. From nothing. And it’s the most electric atmosphere in cbb now. Students were lined out to Donahue at 4 pm. We’re on the verge of being number 1.

Kaos said it best last week - make the man the highest paid coach in bb, name the court after him, build a statue. Anything less is a disservice to the guy. It’s simply amazing what he’s built.

Someone on the rivals board said it well this morning , “purpose driven approach”. That’s absolutely this team. They know when to hold em and when to fold em. Although I admit it’s aggravating at times.

It felt like the Tigers knew they were significantly better then UGA and were content to wait for fast-break opportunities and let those buckets be enough. It's not coasting per se because the team's defense remained opportunistic, but the purpose-driven approach that made Auburn so incredibly overpowering during the first half was fleeting.

Then again, being up 25 points at halftime means Auburn didn't need to summon its best effort from start to finish Wednesday.

Relentless. AU just keeps coming and coming.
We may be witnessing the best yet.

Put this in your smipe and poke it.

Auburn won one of the biggest home basketball games in its history Saturday afternoon. KD Johnson was a big part of that success, scoring 17 points and playing all but seven minutes of the game.

Where was he an hour after the game, when the stands had cleared? Celebrating downtown? Partying with the team and the fans?

Nope. That motherfucker was back on the court, practicing his three-point stroke. Launching bombs from all over the court. Getting his footwork and release down.

I can't love the kind of people Saint Bruce brings to this program any more.
