Because all our donors and Boosters only care about football. It’s quite sad really. Even this upcoming renovation is having to be grouped in with a BDS renovation(even though BDS doesn’t need it).

It really pisses me off and has for years. Football Only Gumps are the fucking worst. Greg Byrne is really the first AD we have had that even cares a little about other sports. Fuck Bill Battle, Bama fans were screaming for him to fire Grant and try and hire Bruce and he didn’t do it because Grant was a “nice” guy. Meanwhile our in state rival did make that move and have completely surpassed us in basketball and made their 1st Final Four because of it. Makes me fucking sick.
Dude, they shut down downtown Auburn Thursday.. all day long and built a court at toomers corner. Tiger talk, dunk and three point contest, 3 on 3 games. Thousands of people there. Auburn people are pumped on basketball. I'm going to as many games as I can

Predict an up and down start, but strong finish. Talented freshmen coming in, a couple strong older leaders, lean mean Kaleb Wesson, and hopefully some improved sophomores.

If the incoming class is close to advertised, and at least 2 of the sophs took that next step, we're contending for the B1G.

Going to be interesting what rotation he uses because for once everyone is back

I’m interested to see how our young team does. I sincerely hope the last few games last year wasn’t just a mirage.

Gonna put lipstick on the pig again. They should bulldoze that damn place and build a new one and downsize. It worked for Auburn. Beard-Eaves was dead and had no atmosphere now Auburn probably has the best environment in the SEC
I think a lot of places need to do this. Rather have a smaller arena full than a big one with a lot of empty seats...some of 'em so far away you can't see shit. JMO.

I really liked Byrne at Arizona and was bummed when he left. I knew it was a matter of time before a big boy took him from us.

Bama beat GT 93-65 and made 17 3’s. Very Happy with Oats first “real game”. Even though GT isn’t very good was still impressed and Hopeful

Not saying I'm disappointed with last year, but I'm hoping we can go farther this time around.

I'm reserving judgement on this team until I get to see them(I wasn't able to see the NW Missouri State exhibition), but from what I've heard don't expect a whole lot.

Ohio State fans would love to see that happen

Gonzaga had their exhibition game tonight and I was really impressed by Anton Watson. 28 points, 9 boards, 5 assists, and 3 steals.

Buzz sill can't figure out who his starting line up will be all season long and are defense from what I've seen in person the last two games have not looked good also we are turning the ball over so many times. But the newbies look good so the future will bright at A&M

You've definitely got a good head coach on campus and I agree that the future looks bright at A & M.

Well it does do a lot for you as a fan when you see a win against a top team early on vs last year where there was a very public sodomizing called a basketball game.
