Hate to be Auburn - CKMcDan - 09-27-2017 09:55 AM
Auburn Men's bb program was one of the 1st 4 programs with an assistant coach named in the FBI's initial investigation report.
They have a sub-500 cumulative record over the past 3 years.
I'd hate to think that a program is on the verge of major sanctions, and has no NCAA bids to show for it.

Agreed. And as a guy who pimped Pearl to be our coach, I have placed myself on probation.

Yep I was pro pearl too. Once a hog always a hog.

I think he'll be the next coach fired, probably sooner than later. He's not getting it done; why keep him around now that this has broken?

Agreed...

I am very happy that the "Bruce Pearl to Memphis" deal was just message board talk.
The FBI news is a fitting punishment for those who promulgated it.

Auburn just had a 5 star center decommit.

Haha, he obviously realized the check wasn't going to clear.

meh, its just Auburn. Keeping my fingers crossed that this net gets cast wide enough that they nail Calipari's ass to the wall.

Note - there is a recorded quote that they needed to up the payment because another shoe company was offering more. Nike?

Me too!!! No more BP talk from me. LOL
RE: Hate to be Auburn - ksigtigerdood - 09-27-2017 10:52 AM
As a former advocate for hiring Pearl, I now admit my wrongdoing. I hated him at UT, and I should have maintained that hatred. But, desperate times called for desperate measures. In the end, this one seems to have worked out for the best. The shiny Pearl was actually just a worthless piece of crap...

Auburn is paying Kentucky's penalty, much the same way Cleveland State paid UNLV's back in the '80's.

Isn't all of this just to cover North Carolina's violations?
RE: Hate to be Auburn - mempho_to_diego - 09-27-2017 11:54 AM
A lot of folks pimped ole Brucey Pearl ... y'all look foolish.
RE: Hate to be Auburn - bluebacker - 09-27-2017 12:04 PM
I too was in the BP crowd. There is still a very slim chance he 'didn't know' what was happening, lol but we all know that he knows exactly what was going on.
I'd like to see North Carolina and Kentucky get some of this on them and Duke too while we're at it.........

450 is suspended for the first half of the Lemoyne Owen game. It's harsh but had to be done.

450, say it isn't so. How could you?
Any coach who secretly records a 17 year old recruit - as then Iowa assistant coach Pearl did to Deon Thomas when Thomas committed to Illinois - so that coach can turn in the school who beat him for that recruit, is a special kind of scumbag. Nothing Pearl does would surprise me.
