+++++Boogs vs Kentucky Official Elite Eight Game Thread+++++

Holy bleeping crap we're in the Final Four!!!!!!

Had to run out the door after the final whistle to coach kids soccer practice and I'm gonna spend the next 5 hours watching videos and reading threads. We just ran a gauntlet of blue bloods. We just beat a team that was an absolutely terrible match for us. This team is my favorite AU team ever and it's not close anymore. They could have quit, the game wasn't going their way, we had lost our best player and the calls were killing us. But they never quit.

Harper and Brown are legends now. LEGENDS. I'm not sure I'll have more fond memories of any AU players.

Samir barely scored, but played a ton of minutes. He absolutely put Herro in his pocket. Go back and watch that game again. Herro couldn't get away from Samir. Just could not shake him. And couldn't get any space. Samir owned that dude.

Mac's block sent me through the roof. Nobody has frustrated me more this year, but that play is Mac at his best.

Danjel fought his ass off. He's grown so much. That fight wasn't in him earlier this season. Dude wanted it.

Malik's block is this team in a nutshell. Never quit on the play. Going against someone 100x more valued as a recruit. And did it with a swag other teams just don't have.

I love these kids. Love Bruce. Love Dr C. Love this place and these threads. Love basketball and this tournament. We're Booging in Minny

I wrote the kid off about 10 games into his return and the dude kept saying his time was coming and I’ll be damned if he wasn’t dead ass right. Sorry for ever doubting you Danjel
I was questioning the strategy but he and the other bigs used all their fouls to pound them into submission. Was going to have to be physical and he was. Probably more physical than Chuma would’ve been on defense in all honestly, and it bothered UK. Aside from Washington obviously

My boog brothers. Oh my laaaaawd. This is what we dreamed of all offseason. What a journey. And what a team.


If you can’t tell I'm quite emotional about this... went to way too many boog home games and this is quite the validation. I’m on cloud 9. I know all of you are too. Let’s go gang.

We’re going to the fvcking FINAL 4. I’ve never been more proud of an Auburn sports squad in my entire life. Love that we all experienced this. Harper and Bryce need their numbers up in the rafters

So proud of this young boog. Kid played his ass off today.

So glad to see Danjel playing well. After all he's been through, most would have left years ago. No way the boogs win these last two without him. Congrats man, you truly earned this.
 
flying out of Atlanta and driving from Chicago to keep the price that low. That’s still before travel and stay expenses, but we’re in the final four. Zfg and will really be worth it if we win 1-2 games.

Yeah, we were going to fly to the BF’s in Milwaukee, stay there Friday night and get up and drive to Minny Saturday morning.

My cousin was the one traveling with me and the more I thought about us going and me having to sit in the hotel and work pretty much Saturday before and after the game and 18 to 20 hours on Sunday, it was just going to suck.

She lost her husband in October and he was a huge AU basketball fan - AU everything fan, really (had two degrees from AU). So while this past month has been incredibly exciting for her, it’s also been a really sad time for her, too. I think without me being able to go out and play basically the whole time we were there, it would have been too hard for her to either go out alone or be stuck inside a hotel room with me.

I’m the one who decided let’s not do this and just go watch the game in Auburn on Monday and be there to roll the trees and celebrate Monday night. Not the same as being there, but a better overall fit in terms of truly enjoying the moment for both of us.
