I remember an ESPN the magazine article that's about as atrocious as it gets.

We need that. It’s proven their fans don’t play nice with others if they think they might lose. Rather than gaining respect, you gain Updykes. You gain respect by playing and beating the teams they view as legit. Let’s do a lot of more that — the winning, I mean.

Basketball is different. Anything that builds excitement for the game is good. The business community should be pressing for it. I’d be fine with the games being at Legacy, too.

The same kind of deal South Alabama got with Alabama would be nice. For Auburn I would hope we can get Bartow games.

Lets just say our scandal is now taught in legal classes regarding Title IX

I guess I’m too young because I have no idea what we are talking about. I’ll just stay ignorant to it haha

It’s much better that way
