Please let this be all.
Nah man don’t toy with my emotions. If there is a God Chuma will be ok.
I could handle anyone getting hurt except The Doctor. Apologies to the other HYGs but he was the only one I couldn’t do without
I feel you fam
Sharing whatev I’m crying too fam
I just went six to midnight.
Boogs have it rolling, no doubt
The gar will swim just fine. Just believe. Just believe.
I don’t believe that for a second, but I’m praying I’m wrong
It may make me a bad person but I’d chop off any of their fingers myself for a Final Four.
I just can’t express in words how much I love these young men.
Tears fallin.
I’ve prided myself on living a lifestyle that would avoid a knee injury but I would give all my healthy knee parts and take on the recovery to see Dr C on the court the rest of the way.
I hate to be this guy but a bone bruise is all that would show up on an X-Ray. Just means he didn’t break any bones. The MRI is what will tell us what’s wrong.
I will read this thread in its entirety as soon as I’m capable. But gatdamn. I am so hyped
Y’all gonna redirect my focus to the actual game to attempt to regain my emotions we fuggin waxed that ass. Laughing at these self proclaimed experts that didn’t know about these HYGs. We dominated. We are clearly the superior team. I mean complete domination in the 2nd half when we played our game. Booooogs bitch.
Agreed. Really hope I am wrong, but likely best case scenario its a minor sprain which would sideline him Sunday but he could possibly come back from next weekend.
Amen. All praise to Bruce. I read the entire game thread on the UNC site. I drank all of their tears. Will read again.
There is no doubt after tonight we are the best team in the country. No one else could run UNC out of the building the way we did. With a healthy Chuma, no one was going to be able to stop this team from cutting the next in Minny.
Obviously losing Chuma is going to make it really tough. We need Houston to make a comeback against UK. They aren't a great matchup for us to begin with, but without our only NBA talent in Chuma to do damage in the paint, it would get drastically tougher.
If I’m outta line, please straighten my ass out, but to me The Boogs getting to the Final Four is kinda like winning the whole damn thing. Then when we get there it’s a different story. This might be my favorite Boog squad ever with one more win. And this is coming from a guy whose Dad was a Boog alumni that told me in the 3rd grade he had rather have a first down in the Iron Bowl than win the SEC in. basketball. WELL DADDY WAS WRONG!!!!!!
Which team is in the running for your favorite with this one?
IMO, this team is now the best team in Auburn history. Tied the all time win total and I think this team is hands down better than the 29 win Porter team. I loved that team, but the SEC was horrible that year and they lost in their only 2 meetings with the only other good team, UK. The only really good win was over a decent Arky team. Then they got knocked out in the Sweet 16 as a 1 seed.
This is my favorite boog squad of all time. Any sport. So enjoyable watching them grow and excel.
NERD.
But you right. But Dr C and the lourde work in mysterious ways. Well if there is a lord guess we’re about to find out.
If I can nurse a gar back to health in a matter of minutes, a handsome young doctor can heal himself in two days.
It is unreal.... Like a monkey looking big bewbs, it is impossible to focus right now...
Only one CLOSE was the squad that won the SEC Championship in 4 straight games & made it to the Sweet Sixteen my wife attended against this Carolina squad that they featured tonight with Kenny & all. Sonny had turned in his resignation & signs all over the BJCC were rampant “STAY SONNY STAY” and I still have one of those placards. Then Sonny stayed several more years & took us to heights we had never experienced before. Heck Barkley lost to the Richmond Spiders in our first ever NCAA playoff game, then we went on a ROLL, but nothing like we are in store for now. 2003 squad was special as well beating a 7 & a 2 to get to the Sweet Sixteen and losing to the eventual champions. Also lost to Louisville as you know that won it all & we had that team that lost to perennial champion OKLAHOMA that lost to Danny Manning & the Miracles in 88. Thanks for asking an old basketball head his opinion. WAR DAMN BOOGS DANNO
Unfortunate UH couldn't pull the upset. They are a tough team, but would have been a much better matchup than UK. Going to have to run them and hit shots. Bright side is we will have Austin healthy for the first time all year against them. Hope he is ready to give us 20 mins banging in the paint.
UK is definitely a tough matchup for us. Thankfully we aren’t playing in Rupp and are playing on a court that we shot well tonight. UK is going to make it really difficult to get open looks on the perimeter. Jared and JVon are the keys IMO. If they break down the defense with dribble-penetration and force help defenders to crash down, I think we can get those looks. Defending the post is going to be a nightmare, especially without Chuma. We can’t afford foul trouble in the front court. This might be another game where we see more zone to limit their inside touches, but if we do that, we have to commit rebounding the defensive glass.
I just feel so down about chuma. My confidence isn’t high we can beat UK without him.
Bright sides:
1. Danjel and Malik both played great tonight and they are the two guys we will lean on without chuma. Danjel has 12 points in 12 minutes. Give him 20+ mins Sunday and let’s see what happens. Kid once scored 27 in back to back games for us and led the team for 2 months in scoring. He’s about to get his shot to make his comeback legendary.
2. Wiley has not played healthy against UK this year. First game we would have beaten them comfortably with him playing.
3. They have looked like trash in beating Wofford as Houston. We are playing drastically better than them right now. While they are a bad matchup for us, we just have to try and run on them and hit our shots.
Sleepless word soup.
Well gang, it’s 6:30 AM. I probably slept for about 4 hours. I had trouble falling asleep and I kept waking up thinking about Chuma. I kept thinking about that terrible song, but could get past Chuma’s name. I am honestly devastated because early in the 2nd half I realized that we were the best team in the country. Bruce built something at freaking AU that was better than everyone else. People like to throw out that stupid live by the three, die by the three bullshit but we were better in the first half than North Carolina without being really hot from 3. We blew them out once we got hot. We can beat UK, we could even still win out, but it will take something more. We didn’t need that more with Chuma on the floor, because we were just better. I know that sounds crazy with us being a 5 seed and spending a chunk of the season out of the top 25 but I honestly believe it to be true. Nobody was deeper, nobody was playing better defense, and nobody has more ways to beat you than us. If there is justice in this world, we will play at whatever level is needed to make up for Chuma being out and win it for him.
Now for the shitty thing that I guess I’m going to let myself say. I wanted him to lead us to a title and become a lottery pick. Or even more honestly I wanted him to play his way into great draft position and go on and represent boog nation. I wanted it because I’ve never wanted something great to happen for a boog player more than I wanted it to happen for Chuma. But if the injury forces him to come back and Jared comes back we can win it all next year. Yup feel even shittier letting myself type that. Word soup over.
