Just want to reiterate what I said before the tip today. I have enjoyed the hell out of watching this season with all of you. Appreciate @fairfield35064 for inviting me to join this bastion of boog basketball knowledge. War Damn March Madness!

It’s funny because when we went to Pasadena in 2014, it was cheaper for my cousin to fly to Baltimore and then the two of us fly out west from BWI. So we had already thought this plan would work again to go to MN, just this time out of DCA since I’ve moved to DC.
So I’m looking at tickets out of Reagan National and thinking WTF is the deal with these prices; main cabin seats are more than I’ve ever even had to pay for first class. Then it dawned on me ~ UVA. Fvcking just my luck that the first time ever we go to the FF, Virginia is going too.
Have lived and died with these guys the past two basketball seasons. No better place or people to share the love for our HYGs and Coach Pearl.
Indeed. I have followed other Auburn teams closely, but never to this degree over the last few years. I remember sitting at Bartow Arena in 2016 when we beat them in a close game and looking at the talent on our roster and imagining what Bruce would be able to do with those guys in 3 years. Just an incredible feeling to have witnessed the transformation of our program over such a short amount of time.
They’ll be five of us, so we will be able to split the drive up a good bit. I just didn’t want to drop nearly 2k on flights, we have a little one due in September. We also used points for the hotel, so we will only be out the price of tickets. It’s going to be one hell of a time.
Samezies bud, the @GREG is the ultimate fam. So great to witness Bruce's HYGs grow and now flourish much like this band of misfit posters making this the only true home for #AuburnMBB and all other boards #Moot #Toast
@GregMadia thank you for your benign neglect that provides us with the #SafeSpace. When asked to #SaveMeGreg, you came through big.
When we played in Glendale in 2010, the wife and I drove to Nashville and flew to Vegas. We took a party bus from Vegas to the game. Saved a ton of money. Lost all the money we saved and then some gambling after the game.
The hardest part is the quick turnaround on booking flights. For Pasadena and Glendale, we have 3-4 weeks to book. For this trip, we have 6 days. And flights a week out are just stupid. From the time the game ended until the time I got my flight booked, prices for similar flights on Expedia had gone up $400-500. I was looking at a round trip non-stop flight as the game was ending for $450, but it disappeared before I could book. I ended up booking through Southwest for a little over $800, and that was by far the best deal I could find.
Yeah, my cousin said as we were looking into booking everything that this was exhausting. And made the statement that at least with bowl games you had a month or more to do it.
I buy a lot of last minute plane tickets because of my work schedule constantly changing and even with that I’ve never paid more than 1200 for a first class ticket. These prices were nuts!!
We did the same in 2013 (minus the drive), fortunately paid for the trip and then some by covering the spread.
Cool info from Ben Wolk on the rundown. Apparently, Bryce’s dad texted about some adjustments he could make on his shot to get him going in the second half. Bryce saw it at halftime and texted back that he had this and he wasn’t going to miss the second half. He then went 6-6 from the floor, including 3-3 from 3.
Dude is just a straight up machine when he gets it rolling
I just want to say CBS does a horrible job for content after the games. Can’t find replays, the cons sports app sucks, just small snipers of like a play or 2. They got like an 11 minute clip of highlights from the game but what if you want more to watch?
Espn gets stuff wrong. But their app accessibility and content is so much better.

Agreed. I mean I feel like I should have access as a fan, but hell sell me an app for 4.99 or something.
I was pissed as well at the quick cut-away after the game. I really wanted to see the entire post game of course but ffs CBS had other plans.
Always meant to come back to this. We cut it to 5 (though it could have been even less) at the half and I thought - we are going to win this game and you posted it at the same time I thought it. Feels crazy now but also felt like boog magic at the time.
I texted my dad and brother at that same time too. Just could feel Harper heating up, and I knew Brown wouldn't stay down. UK had missed their chance to go up by 15+ and it just felt like there's no way we could blow this chance now
It was truly a BOOGtastic moment Gents.
Just dropping by to say how much I enjoyed reading through this thread. I'm so dang happy for all of you long-suffering Auburn bball guys n gal!
As I shared on the BB, I don't feel entitled to shout and holler online like I've been a supporter for years because I haven't... Ima short, fat, white dood who has never enjoyed watching the game.
But as an AUBURN man, I'm just so dang proud for the kids, and especially for our BRONZE JEWISH SUPERBRUCE!!! How much redemption must that guy be experiencing?
War Eagles brothers and sister... love you guys muchly!!

I wept last night reading through that glorious rustling.
I’ve had luck searching YouTube “march madness”
Wish I could see that thread, sad that blue bloods are so easily rustled by a bunch of no good floppin cheats #YouMad #SEC
Please inform them that we are all banted from their board for saying less things being said in that thread. Also that we would love to have them come here and have a pleasant blue blood on blue blood conversation.
@420grover
I'm bant too, I had to use my fake Kentucky fan account to get these.
Want to add that CBS Sports is showing replays of all the Auburn tourney games on Friday. I don't DVR in real time because all the games I DVR'd early in the season we lost and I am too superstitious.
Whoever is Final-Four-2019, well done over at Rupps Rafters
Edit: those guys are psychopaths. Never thought I’d see the day tiger hoops would rustle UK fans so badly
