If Auburn plays Duke in the Hawaii Invitational who will Snags root for?

Great. Now you have already jinxed us. You couldn't even let us get into conference play?

This is why we can't have nice things.

Of course, I'd be pulling for my Tigers. I'm afraid that man right up there ^^^ might be a one-man wrecking crew. 6'7" 285 lottery pick. We'd definitely need Wiley to be at full speed for that one.

Every time Catherine revved up the microwave I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for a half hour or so.

Has anyone been able to keep up with injuries and such? Curious as to who will be able to play. I had read/heard that Wiley and Purifoy were both dealing with nagging injuries. Also, the transfer kid from Memphis will have to sit out a year.

I read yesterday that Doughty will most likely play in the opener. Haven't heard much about Wiley other than he's probable. Purifoy is out 10 games no matter.

52-33 at half. I know it's just South Alabama but this team is going to be bad ass.

101-58.
I know they wonâ€™t stay that hot, but damn!
Wiley hurt. Purifoy out. Donâ€™t matter. May be the best group of talent at AU in a long long time!

Don't kid yourself South Alabama is not a pushover team. That was a solid win. I loved the absolute hustle even when we were up by 45+
