@RossDellenger Great reporting, Ross.
Good things can require difficult conversations. Does not mean you run away from them just as the SEC would like to do.
LOL. So the Big 10 and SEC, who targeted other conferences and bribed major programs to leave their conferences for them, risking the entire collapse of the sport and countless programs, so that the SEC and Big 10 could monopolize the entire sport and take all the TV market share, are now feigning innocence and that its other people out there harming the sport and targeting them. Good grief how pathetic.
@NicoleAuerbach Well, he spearheaded the effort to expand the NCAA Basketball Tournaments, which is anything was LESS popular.
Sankey is an incompetent moron if he thinks that fans' (i.e. the paying customers) opinions do not matter.
He needs to go to the unemployment line. Immediately.
@BasedMikeLee According to the latest IRS data (tax year 2022), the top 1% of taxpayers paid 40.4% of all federal individual income taxes.
The top 10% paid 72.0%.
The bottom 50% paid just 3.0%.
Goodbye, friends, from Augusta Georgia!
As a farewell, we’re giving away one of the limited edition Peach Reserve TOUR-ISSUE Staff Bags.
To win: Just REPOST!
Bottom line is we could have solidly been in tourney at 18-15 which is saying something. 17-16 was a bridge too far. So metrics are what they are but blame is on us. Lot on the line next season.
My two cents on Auburn Basketball:
Could Steven be the issue? Sure. Could he not be the issue? Sure.
He inherited an okay roster. It is apparent that we also have some individuals on the team that aren’t team players.
If we make the tournament that’s great. If we don’t that’s also okay.
However, the Auburn family needs to continue to support the team and let the offseason play out. If the results next year are the same as this year, then we can have the conversation.
I’m an old head. I don’t have a problem with Bruce leaving Steven with a challenge. That’s the issue too often today is parents propping kids up.
Steven didn’t inherit a championship team. He’s going to have to work for it. He’ll either succeed or fail. But it will be HIS success or HIS failure.
Yes, he got the job because of his dad. But what he does with it will be all on him. And I, for one, as an Auburn man, am rooting like hell for him to succeed.
