2019-2020 Official Auburn Hoops Thread (with no official aspirations)

[Snaggletiger]

They meet at every EOTTC Barbecue don't they?

GH is calling.

This is true, but Samir was a clear backup/new guy last season.
Wiley and Purify were the stars from a couple of seasons before that were expected to come back and heavily contribute. Wiley came back serviceable But Purifloy never did get into any kind of groove. With Samir and Javon, we saw flashes of what they needed to be this season as starters. And both have grown into the role very well.
I wasn't sure Purifoy would ever make it back.
I still don't see McLemore from before his injury. Maybe the team makeup is just different. But he is still a very talented senior.

Just think if Chupacabra Okeefee would have returned!

The Okoro kid is super impressive. Throw in Cambridge, Flanagan, and Johnson, that is a good looking future.

I'm just waiting for the Real Will Macoy to get hot!


Are we redshirting Babatunde?

Now hold on a damn minute!!!  You saying that Chupacabra's are real?! You serious, Clark?

You've been on the Drill Phone with DKW?

I don’t get to use the drill press phone often. But when I do. It’s actually correct.

Okoro made big $$$ tonight.

Dude. Dont get him out of here just yet.  Give us another year.

He one and done bro.

Draft analysts have him going around 19 to the Heat.

Somebody needs to stand McCormick at the stripe and do nothing but shoot free throws all day. He is 50% on the season. There are only 3 Auburn players above 70% at the stripe currently.

Damn it.  We've become Kentucky, Duke and Kansas all rolled into one.

Face it, we're a basketball school.

How about Wiley at the line lately?  At one point last night he was 9/10.

Yes. Oddly enough, he has been the most consistent it seems. He was one that has had troubles at the line. The boy has put in the work.

Looks like he's enjoying the game finally too.  Buckle up and enjoy the ride, boys.  The Orange Pearl is about to set sail.

His momma make him do push ups!

I'm a little less sold than I was a game ago.  Should have run Vandy out of the building.  Didn't for reasons I can't fathom.  

Still think we're a pretty solid team but that whole Top 5 thing is questionable.  

I also wonder which of you fathered these kids: 



The roof raiser is problematic, but Jack Black playing College Student Fattie from that mock Tropic Thunder movie trailer is the worst.  

There was a young lady they showed around the 1:00 mark in the game -- dark hair, toboggan -- that was quite nice, though.  If she's one of your daughters I apologize for railing her in my sleep.

Vandy is vastly improved over last season and they feature the SEC's leading scorer.  With all our defensive attention on Nesmith, Amp Lee's kid went ham.

Never felt like we were in trouble, just couldn't put the game away decisively.

As (in)accurate as any other projection, but I like this one because IO goes higher.

Gonna' be a lot of games like last night.  Defense will keep us in every game but we'll drop our share with the points we leave on the FT line.  While there's no dominant teams in the SEC (Outside of the Fighting Pearls) there's definitely a lot of talent throughout the league.  Not going to be many easy outs in conference play.

I think the roof raiser is nook's kid.  As for boggan girl...I noticed her too and thought to myself how cute, then realized she's less than half my age.  Sad Buzz was sad.

[AUTiger1]

I thought raise the roof kid was Ogre's?  Being a ginger and all.   Pretty sure the fat kid with the jersey on is Nook's kid.  That's probably the same expression Nook makes when he is out of the good Pacific NW green. Pretty sure that Snaggs Daughter is the one in the purple denying the advances of the arm hug from the young gentleman beside her.  Buzz is the kid whose mind is blown yours or simps?  I'm going with simps since all his kids can fill up over half the student section.

What am I missing here?

Step up your game!  Uncle Sani doesn't have an issue with this!
