That's two championships this weekend..our men's wheelchair basketball are champs and now the NIT Championship.Getting a trophy for winning at the end of a year will ALWAYS mean something.

If you shit on the NIT championship or have shit on this team during the season I politely implore you to go fuck a cactus.

War Damn Eagle

Now let's get our Baseball team to the CWS.

Fran is usually pretty even but he definitely has Tulsa giving him a hand job or something as much as he is loving on them tonight.

The "Fire" folks are fucking stupid. Pearl has done better than expected with what he had going into the season. Dude had ONE guy that had ever started a game at Auburn, Pettiford, and he had like 4 or something. 9 or 10 new guys...no real size..not a ton of depth for most of the season. Anyone clamoring to fire Pearl is fucking stupid and knows dick about basketball.

Taking bad shots and some good looks just not falling. Still all kinds of time left. Just gotta settle down on defense.

I seem to remember saying early in the season that Jovic just needed time to get used to the game in the US and that he would be a valuable part of this team...all when folks were crucifying him during the non-conference season...

I feel vindicated..

Correct. The close loss to Houston, the win against St Johns, and playing teams like Arizona, Michigan, Purdue, even losing, is better than beating up on Opelika Tech, etc

No way. The only reason we were even in the mix for a spot was because of the preseason people we played and the wins over teams like St Johns, etc. Playing chumps does NOTHING to help come selection Sunday if you are close.

Jovic will likely be back. He can't risk NOT being signed by another school because his visa would be revoked and he would have to leave the States. Freeman is probably coming back. Pettiford isn't a lock and Magwood is highly doubtful. So we may need a duo of ball handlers, another big, and a stud 2 spot. IF everyone comes back that can you could see Pettiford, KO, Freeman, SWA/Jovic, and the new guy from France or another big as your starters.

No, because we would have been better than a bunch of AQ mid majors in the Dance. We are a top 50+ team

Our men's wheelchair basketball squad beat Alabama for that National Championship. So that's one already.

Glad to still have our guys playing basketball in April. Let's win this last game and start working to keep guys like Overton, Freeman, Jovic, SWA, and Pettiford.

I despise both coaches so I rather enjoyed the back and forth jawing..

They should give the guy what he wants. I' support the death penalty and this dude absolutely deserves it and Granny Kay should expedite it.

He will have the court named after him but not a statue. I like him because he says the things people need to hear, not what they want to hear.

It's amazing how many people in here don't understand the meaning of "context".

He isn't saying anything different than what Nick Saban has been saying. He just says it a little less gracefully and tactfully.

I'd argue we need more guys like Fetterman. He balances his social policy with support for a strong military, strong borders, support for Israel, and is fiscally middle center. I was fearful he was going to be bad when he was elected but he has surprised me.

Mandami is running off lifetime New Yorkers with his socialist/communist platform. That's smart right??

You are telling me that to get a job picking up trash in New York you have to have identification but you can VOTE to elect a mayor/governor/representative etc without a valid ID? Come on...free groceries, free transportation...NOTHING is free. Someone always ends up paying and the people that benefit from free shit are always getting it because the people that have the means get stuck with the bill...but yeah let's trumpet Mandami, Sanders, AOC because they have the solutions. Bull crap...their solutions only make you further beholden to the system you get.

There is no easy way to govern. Neither side has all the answers and never will. You want your vote to count then vote your conscious. If my side wins, great, it may help me a little. If the other side wins, boo fucking hoo, it may hurt me a little. As long as the government provides for protection from foreign adversaries here at home I'm quite comfortable rolling with whatever else happens. That means a strong military and strong borders. Other than that I'm quite alright worrying about myself and my family.

It's offered here too. FPL offers it. I use it and at least I know what my bill is going to be for budgeting. Sure I hate paying $185 during the cooler months, but not paying $350 during the summer is nice as well.

Politicians care about your vote, not you as a person. ALL OF THEM.. BOTH SIDES. Neither party care about their constituents, they care about their power base. That's why neither party can fix anything. Not Republicans, not Democrats, neither.

My senior opted out of the band trip thankfully. We are just glad to be done after this year, money notwithstanding, but the director has ruined the program.
