Pretty sure he's lying about stumbling across us. Not sure why a grown man would feel the need to lie about such a thing publicly though. Very weird.

look at this chode wondering how JMU fans feel about the boogs stealing their girls softball corch.
Gotta give JGT credit for trolling the absolute shit out of the bunker. Giving little hints that Wiley might be back before saying nevermind and then laying a hammer that things are getting uglier by the hour for Pearl.
It brilliant (and maddening).
Stop being cryptic and say what you are hearing. Or say nothing. All he has done lately is muddying the water.
But it isn't just JGT. Its all mods (on all sites) on this subject.
What’s the word? I’m thinking they aren’t gonna can him before the trip to Charleston so that’s a blessing.
Tater is one of those guys who comes up with a scenario he thinks is most plausible in his mind and then just believes it. He also sometimes has inside information. He makes zero distinctions when giving out tidbits which it is, and it makes it so difficult to know when to listen to him.
OP stressing that this is Compliance out to get Bruce and everyone putting together their theory as of why. I could see him being Jewish as a real reason tbh.
Been preparing my Auburn is antisimetic campaign since last week. I’ll go ahead and get to work on racist and homophobic just in case this goes down.
Chappy's is ground zero for their Klan meetings. David Housel is anti-semitic booganoddi.

Y'all we got a better team than Kentucky and Kansas right now, at full strength. Bunch of string bean brick layers in that contest.
HAH, I may have just outted myself at work when i LAFFED out loud reading the whole JMU Auburn fans revelation
Click click click
What are people thinking here? The longer this stuff drags on the better it seems for Bruce. I just can’t imagine them canning him mid season and can’t imagine him having the time to really do what they’re asking during the season as well
because he voiced that the AD has not kept the players in the loop and that it has been tough for the players to stay focused with all that is going on
Supposedly Jay has bee supportive of BRUCE and the program but he's been told to go sit in a corner.
Simply amazing we finally can the dude and rightfully so and then we start to screw over the one coach and program we were all happy with.
It's like raiaaaain on your wedding day.
Hopefully BRUCE knows that all of JMU stands behind him
Damn, this distinguished gentleman has decided it's time to get real with our new hayseed president:
what channel are these sexy studz gonna be featured on this fine morning?

Charleston Classic: Charleston, SC
Indiana State vs Auburn
Auburn will of course be playing this tournament without Danjel Purifoy and Austin Wiley, so let’s take a look at how important those two actually were to the Tigers last year. Last year, Auburn was less efficient with Purifoy on the floor, scoring at 1.05 points per possession compared to 1.08 with him off, while they were considerably worse defensively, allowing teams to score at 1.09 ppp when he was off, compared to 1.02 when on (per HoopLens). Wiley’s splits meanwhile are quite stark, but they come with the huge caveat that he didn’t get to play against the easier OOC schedule, so his numbers are almost all from SEC play, with the exception of three games. When Wiley was on the floor, Auburn scored at just 1.01 ppp, compared to 1.09 when off. Defensively, opponents scored at whopping 1.11 ppp when he was on the floor, compared to 1.02 when off. That suggests that Wiley’s high block rate came at the expense of not rotating/being out of position on possessions when he didn’t block a shot, and opponents shot 41% from 3 when he was on the floor, compared to 33% when off. So the advanced metrics suggest that on a per possession basis, Auburn isn’t necessarily cooked without them, but Bruce Pearl’s transition heavy scheme is reliant on depth, and there’s no denying the rebounding ability of Wiley and the floor stretching capability of Purifoy. Indiana State meanwhile impressed mightily in their opener (pats self on back for having ISUblue higher than preseason Valley consensus), hitting an absurd 17 of 26 threes en route to a pasting of Indiana, and the final score doesn’t even do the drubbing justice, as Greg Lansing took his foot of the gas for the final 5 minutes. Everything Jordan Barnes and Brenton Scott threw up went in, but it’s important to note that ISU was also the far more athletic team, and they likely won’t get ran off the court in Charleston today, plus Lansing has a tricky matchup zone up his sleeve. Brandon Murphy lost weight in the offseason, and looks like a much more viable paint option, and the addition of Louisiana Tech wing Qiydar Davis bolstered the overall athleticism of the team, and he’ll be key defensively against Mustapha Heron. ISU’s penchant for turning the ball over is a glaring issue against an Auburn team reliant on their athleticism and ability to score in transition, and that’s my primary concern for the Trees today, and Bryce Brown and Jared Harper are a ball hawking duo in the backcourt. Greg Lansing’s teams play in a holiday tournament every year, and every year they’re extremely well prepared and almost always knock off a power conference team or come extremely close.
PICK: Indiana State +7.5

I'm such a loser! I'm taking 3 hours of leave to go watch Auburn play Indiana State basketball at 10:30 in the morning. FML
Up until the Masters in 2016, I could stream WatchESPN at work. Wasn't sure if that was a slip through the cracks or what, but I just kept quiet about it and used for days like this. Then the Masters in 2016 came around and apparently it wasn't blocked for anyone and everybody was streaming. I guess it was overload on all the servers (I don't know this type of stuff) so it was blocked and they blocked everything else you could stream, which cost me WatchESPN.
respec. If it was on ESPN/ESPN2 I could just sit in our break room and watch. Or if I could get a wifi signal I could just watch at the desk. Will go somewhere to watch 2nd half for sure.
The government blocks so much sheeeyut except facebook. Go figure! I see nothing wrong with me watching my beloved Auburn Tigers on the governments dime. JMO
Any tbb members want to provide some context to this from JGT and any other BRUCE rumblings?:
THE NCAA CONCURRED WITH BRUCE'S OPINION. PERIOD. FACT. Do what you want with that, RZ.
