When everything was going on with Person and the university started their internal investigation the word was Bruce was refusing to cooperate and the school said his job could be in jeopardy if he didnt cooperate. As far as I know he never cooperated and everything was forgotten about.

Yep. Can't recall but the president and/or AD positions may have been replaced since Pearl was hired.

Well, that was a very hard way to lose for Auburn.

I found myself pulling for them, but watching in a bar full of Auburn fans, it was pretty clear they didn't know much about basketball.

Towards the end, they didn't know why Auburn was intentionally fouling when they had fouls to give to consume clock, and were celebrating with 20 seconds left like they'd already won. I was trying to tell them that 20 seconds was an eternity in college basketball.

They are quickly becoming my second most hated fan base because of their a hole dumb*** fans. Like Bama they have some good ones but they are vastly outnumbered.

In regards to the foul called at the end. As a former basketball and soccer official, the way I always judged whether I would call a foul in the final seconds of a game was would I have called it any other time during the game. From what I saw that night, the officials were letting both teams get away with some pretty serious contact all game. I personally didn't think that contact should have been called because they let much worse go during the whole game. I have a couple neighbors who are big Auburn fans. They were disappointed but not too upset. It just meant that I wasn't going to watch the finals on their big screen.
