I feel like Staph still has NBA aspirations. I’d be surprised if he was in a hurry to go make $50k in Lithuania or whatever when there’s still a decent chance he could get drafted in a year.
Boogs v Clemson ( Round of 32)
- Thread starter Denim Vest
- Start date
I always regret hitting the show ignored button but I still do it sometimes like a dumbass. A cold, terrible take appears before me without fail.
ok...i now call BS on this.
At some point mental and physical fatigue kick in. It happened.
It’s very obvious that little brain’d Demeat doesn’t even know the difference between an excuse and an explanation
Stop with the excuses.
So you don’t see any chance he improves enough to maybe get drafted? I feel like if it was my kid and I knew he was destined for Europe, I’d make em get a degree.. he’s only probably a year and a half from that goal.
if our bagmen aren’t dedicated nor capable enough of incentivizing 5 stars to stay at Auburn another year instead of going to Europe, then what the fvck are we doing with our program? why even continue to have a team?
Yep, sure did. Anything else stupid to add? I know Pinson wasn’t Hoover but I doubt you just “turned your switch off”. If they turned it off why not say this pregame. BECAUSE IT IS A BULLSHIT EXCUSE. I played basketball and boxed.
I don't see it, but I don't know shit about evaluating NBA prospects. The degree is a fair point, but every athlete's body has a short time period where it can earn money.
Now this is a fine point. @AuWaterfowl - tell Rodney to open up the pocket book.
No way Staph is ready for the league. Jamison Brewer coming out as a freshman was better prospect than Staph currently is coming out as a sophomore. I didn't believe Brewer was ready at the time either.
The dumbest thing typed on this website this month...and that's saying something...is the question "why didn't they say it pregame". Literally...in the entire Rivals network that's the least intelligent, sports wise thing posted. Housewives who yell "TOUCHDOWN" after they see a home run think this is dumb.
If you don't get it I can't help you. Obviously players and coaches think they can reset their goals. They think after crossing the finish line they made a huge deal of they can refocus and get their groove back. Obviously they don't walk into the gym thinking that they've quit. But human nature and years and years of history shows that in sports you find teams that set a goal, made it and then struggled when there were games remaining. Some Auburn based examples of this, without even having to look outside of our little world
- Tubs teams beating Top 5 teams and then playing like steaming piles of dog crap a week or two later when they had control over the SEC West, playing for a title and maybe more.
- 2017 AU football. After a bad start Gus made everything about getting to ATL. We played 2 amazing games right at the end and then as soon as we got to what we had set as the finish line the squad was done. They showed up in ATL trying hard but with no focus, no legs and no drive along with a stale coaching attack after 2 fantastic gameplans to attack our opponents.
I'm less forgiving of the football ones because our eyes shouldn't be on small steps or building the program. It's a national power level program so it shouldn't set goals like "beat top ranked LSU or UF". It shouldn't spend 100% of it's energy and focus on winning the SECW because it started slow and lost 2 games. But we haven't been to a Big Dance in 15 years and have only won 3 SEC titles in existence in hoops so I get setting markers and being satisfied when you get there as long was the next set of markers is higher.
I agree about the UGA game. We were mentally exhausted and physically. Your can’t be up emotionally every week.
KJ should have never played that game and as usual Gus had Zero plan for anyone else to step up. He didn’t do all he could to help us get a victory. We had an epic finish to our regular season and we gave out. Then the cluster eff of a game vs Central Florida. That was coaching as well as lack of interest as players thought more of the NFL. I never liked that matchup.
Football and Basketball are 2 very different sports. One player in b-ball can take over a game. Bryce or Jared could have gone off for 30 points and had the team rally around a hot hand.
Why did we lose vs Clemmy? Was it a collective lack of effort? I don’t think so. Horace played hard, he didn’t turn off a switch. This loss mainly goes to another game of just shooting terrible and horrible turnovers and that snowballing on itself. I don’t know why Harper and Brown turned into absolute chit at the end of the year. I can’t tell you how to correct missing wide open jumpers etc.
Part of me realizes what a tremendous home court advantage we have at the clam. Perhaps that arena offers a superior shooting back ground for deapth perception etc. I did see some straight up laziness and lack of movement with guys without the ball. I also saw some nice plays run that led to a missed layup or missed wide open shot.
We have not played good ball in a long time. We played great when a bunch of teams had not hit their peak. Mac’s injury forced us to play out of position, etc. But in the end, besides what I listed above, we shot horribly. If Jared and Bryce individually play well, we have a shot. It is very hard to win with those two playing so bad. Mustapha had some good ideas just couldn’t finish anything.
You made fun of me for propping up bam, but they were so much better than us in the post season. It was frustrating to see them and aTm improve late and watch us regress. Same with Kentucky. Maybe we just aren’t there yet talent wise. Next year has huge potential and I can’t wait to see how this team matures in the off season.
War Eagle! Have a great day!

Put demeat on ignore like everyone else has
He’s awful. Let him argue with you in complete ignorance as to what that dumbass is saying.

Your takes are your theory. You aren't citing anything more specific or scientifically factual than anyone else.
You are still obsessing over how the bams looked in a tournament vs how we looked. I still think you are obsessing over nothing essentially. We both had basically the same NCAA tourney experience. They won 2 games in a SECT and they had to win those games just to get in. They were desperate. Desperate teams tend to come out on top of non-desperate teams. Watch a NBA series when a team is up 2-0 or 3-0 and see how often the team that is obviously not as good steals a win. See how often a team with a 3 game lead in the NFL with 3 game to go slips up vs a worse team that needs the win the game just to keep hope alive.
Do you contend these things don't happen? Or is your theory that those teams should have someone go off that night for 35 because that's the way the world should work?
The notion that we wouldn’t give our best effort to win a game to get to the sweet 16 is just so fuggin stupid we can dismiss it immediately. We played terrible. We played terrible the 2 games before. Entire squad had no confidence whatsoever. We don’t have any answer if our guys that carried us all year can’t make shots. When you get down a bazillion it’s just human nature to lose energy and focus.
Unfortunate we weren’t playing good ball at the end of the year but then again the grit to grind through basically the entire season outlandishly shorthanded to win a title was amazing.

I’m bookmarking this page just so I can come back on my birthday or on Christmas and “show ignored content” as a gift to myself
It’s taking every ounce of self control I have not to spoil it for myself now, but I trust it will be worth it

I thank DA-MEEET haz sum deezent pointz. We sucked at the end of da seazun.
SCOUTING REPORTS sed "GUARD BRYCE" and HARPA KUMPLEEETLY WILTED on the BIG STAGE!!!
We had a GRATE firzt 90 perzent of da seazun but we wudn't very good at the end of the year. Ain't no excuses, we juzt wudn't very good. It happinz.
This. I had no idea that's who @jeramye was responding to, but it makes sense.
I had no idea either. Ser fvcktard and demeat being on ignore has been a pleasant surprise. I decided to put "Corn whatever" and Nash on the ignore train as well.
Thanks for delivering the EA that supports my posts. There is a page, and we both are standing on it.
Do you really think I was arguing that we were giving poor effort? That’s what you think I meant by “switching off”?
Madre de Dios
I'm giving @Nash Tiger a chance. I live the the GREG by the motto that everyone is welcome and everyone is welcome to ridicule. If ridicule doesn't work then the next step is a surgical strike on the source of inflammation
p.s. @Ser Sweater Vest isn't on full-time ignore. Yet. Definitely during games though. He should be able to live his GREG the way he sees fit, imo. Very few would I vote off the island, like @CORN GRIFFIN. He's never made me laugh. Not once. That's inexcusable.

Nash is the unfunniest poster I have ever seen since I've been message boarding. I started on ITAT in 2002, so 16 years and he is the worst. I've seen enough of him to know that he will not get funny over night.
The others are just ignorant when it comes to sports and I came here to get away from people like rice(demeat and ser). Corn is a drunk that needs to spend more time being a father and less time worrying about the internet.
Cam did this to me when they made their super bowl run a couple of years ago. ****er cost me $1000+/-. I had tickets to the final regular season game and it was looking like they were going to finish undefeated. I bought the pair for $200, had them on stubhub for the going rate of $1500. They lost the next to last game and the prices tanked. I ended up selling the pair for $150.
Good grief. I remember @demeat having some of the dumbest hAUt takes about basketball, but I didn't remember them being this bad.
The team at the end of the year last year was playing pretty terrible. You want to litigate this again? Our current state of play is light years ahead of last year’s team.
He doesn’t know shit about basketball. Like, it’s really bad when you are that ignorant.
That other guy is dumb as dog shit as well. Don’t really remember his name. Ser sweater or something like that. I started ignoring them retards about a year ago and it has been refreshing not reading their insufferable bullshit.
Lolz... someone that takes a message board this serious typically has nothing else going for them in life. Prayers for this guy that one day he finds happiness. My prayers will work, because today Auburn will wok and @Gran_Polla will no longer be @sad but be @happy.
