We have some real salt at times, particularly aimed at the gentleman Bruce Pearl, though the game thread had fewer posts than usual. I think they very much knew what was coming for the most part. Do enjoy.
Also: Props to the Auburn fans who traveled as well as to the AU Twitter Militia.
The official game thread
Let’s get it dudes!
---
Hope the cockpit is fired up tonight! Let’s go start SEC play with a win.
---
The talent disparity in this game is frightening.
---
We need to get better basketball attendance this is pathetic
---
Bruce Pearl is such a slimeball.
---
Wish he was our slime ball.
---
Better attendance...thats the problem here. Yeah.
---
That’s game
---
One team can defend dribble penetration. The other team can’t.
---
Can’t waste my night on this. Gonna pillow fight with my two year old instead. Be productive
---
Game getting out of reach quickly, Frank’s got to change this lineup up now. We can’t stay with AU defensively. Need to go strictly zone and hope they miss shots.
---
This game is over
---
I keep seeing the weirdest straggler hairs on Frank's head and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
---
It’s like varsity vs JV
---
They too good
---
We don’t have the size and athletes play them in man to man
---
Winners hire slime ball coaches. Ncaa barely cares anymore
---
Bruce Pearl is a great coach. Auburn hired well.
---
I’m so sick of watching this crap every single year
---
One historically poor basketball program took advantage of their Final Four, the other one didn’t.
---
Exactly. They’re a top 25 team almost every year since then now
---
What an embarrassment, they are better but our dipshit coach gives us no chance
---
Totally outmanned in this one.
---
Completely overmatched. Frank just can’t recruit. As much as I dislike Bruce Pearl, Auburn is what an SEC program should look like with a tenured coach.
---
Lmao what a joke. Auburn shooting over 60% and our offense is 5 dudes standing outside the 3 point line. One guy drives and everyone stands around watching, not cutting, not moving to the ball, just standing and waiting for the ball i guess. Not sure what kind offense that is.
---
We aren’t playing well but to be fair Auburn is really good
---
Can’t wait to hear Frank spin this crap show after the game. Who is he going to throw under the bus after he kisses Bruce Pearls butt about the great program he has built.
---
Worst shot I’ve ever seen by D Carter, wow looked like the fat guy who tried to dunk with a trampoline and landed in the lane
---
We don’t have a single player that would start for auburn.
---
Wake me when Mr. Life Lesson is finally gone.
---
Our guys look like we picked up 5 guys at the PE center
---
Why did it take 30 damn minutes before Frank went to the freaking zone?
---
And then he brings his son back in…..
---
And the Gamecocks show back up with 3 turnovers in 4 trips down the court
---
I think Frank knows he’s done so he is going to play his son and doesn’t care what people say.
---
You forgot about going away from zone that helped get us back into the game …
---
Yeah, 2-1-2 and 2-3 had Auburn in a drought. So of course, don't stick to that.
---
Really need to beat Vandy Saturday with the schedule we have coming up
---
Welp Vandy just won in Fayetteville…
"When 4 & 5 stars play to their ranking"
Tonight is what happens. Nothing Frank can do about it except recruit better and given is tenure, that’s not happening.
---
Talent kills. It’s why Auburn has sustained success and we haven’t.
---
Auburn cheats but who can blame them when the NCAA does nothing to them.
"24 and 5 continue to struggle"
24 did get hurt, but 5 simply can't stay in front of these guards
---
He has no chance against these guys.
---
Im glad we face Auburn game one in the SEC. They’re an uber talented team.
---
Auburn is really good
It happens
---
Inconsistencies is this team and almost all Frank's team during his tenure. They played hard but were overmatched by Auburn from a talent standpoint.
"We shouldn’t cheat in basketball"
Look at these teams and tell me why we shouldn’t. Only team missing from top cheaters is Georgia
---
This list is the who’s who of cheating
---
Sean Miller is available
---
We should cheat in all sports. That’s what’s winners do in college sports
---
I don't want to cheat to win... otherwise wha is the point? However, it is absolutely disgusting that Bruce Pearl and Will Wade are still allowed to coach. Clearly there are no consequences, but I'd rather just stop watching the sport entirely if only other option is to join the cheaters.
---
You don’t know if they are cheating, besides LSU. The difference is all those teams have coaches who can recruit and have personalities that attract players, not scare many away. Most players would rather play for Bruce Pearl than FM.
---
My point was that if that is what it takes for Carolina to compete...meaning hire a Bruce Pearl or Will Wade...I would instead simply lose interest in the sport
---
Because unlike them, we will get severely punished.
"Apathy"
Listened to the first half on the radio on the way home from work and we’re getting skull dragged. Sounds like more Auburn fans than Carolina fans in the building.
---
Not skull dragged, frank the tank and co are getting skull insert dirty word for sexy time.
---
This is what happens when you play rogue programs that cheat and get great players. You can't compete with that unless you are willing to do the same
---
This was embarrassing tonight. I was there, and it felt like an Auburn home game.
---
Why tf does auburn have so many fans in SC?
---
I was there too. And the Auburn fans were definitely louder throughout the game, outside of our little run midway through the second half
"Lowdown Basketball coaches. Win at all cost"
Saw LSU and Aub. win tonight. Those programs and coaches are corrupt. And win.
---
I favor the way they do things.
---
There doesn't seem to be any repercussions except for winning.
---
I’d like to make more than 1 tournament in 10 years and I don’t care how we do it
"Auburn Fans are Weird"
Check out the comments on the tweet from our basketball Twitter.. 500 comments and it was just posted 2 mins ago
---
extremely odd...
---
---
I laughed at that one
---
After reading a few of them all I can say is that was weird.
---
A lot of them are hilarious. They do it to every team they beat, I’m honesty impressed
Also: Props to the Auburn fans who traveled as well as to the AU Twitter Militia.
