Would be President Hillary R Clinton: "At this point what difference does it make!" said with incredulity no less... lol. That is some Auburn integrity!! BBall gets Hondas so football gets....???

Enjoy your season - he's done a good job so far. Not the second coming though.
The weird thing about AU’s FBI case is that a) the coach was helping players leave the program and b) the coach was pocketing WAY more cash than the players/family. Neither of those are normal. Usually schools get caught paying players to come play or stay, not facilitating a way for them to leave. Chuck was an idiot with money problems. Maybe Bruce knew something or told Chuck to help them get some money, but I doubt he knew exactly how Chuck was going about it and that Chuck swindled everyone for like 80k.

The cookout wasn't what got Brucie his show cause and got him fired. It was lying to NCAA investigators about it, and encouraging the recruits and their parents to lie about it.....and if a guy will lie about something that trivial and try to get others to lie about something that trivial.....
Hoss, here the real reason:

He is a great coach but he also cheats like a mother . He will get fired in the next 3 years though due to cheating but he will get Auburn to 2-3 straight tourneys before that. Auburn is winning the conference this year . They just are. But I also think they might lose in the 1st round of both the SEC and NCAA tournies .

If you want to get technical, I believe the cookout was a minor/moderate violation. He got in the real trouble for lying about it to the NCAA.

Contrast with UNC, they just said “hey this is how our school is run, we like it, nothing to see here, we’re proud of our simple classes.” Hence no lie, no punishment.

It’s really awful.
Fake classes not simple.

Outright? Or tournament?

Auburn ain't winning the sec tournament.

I like Pearl. I’m not sure why a lot of our fans think every other team and coach sucks. I really don’t get it.

Pearl is a damn good coach, and he’s great for the conference.

We all become defensive when some ahole says that Cal’s a cheater and all of that garbage.

Look, Pearl made a terrible decision about lying to those corrupt fools that run the NCAA. Honestly, I can’t really fault him for that. The way they play favorites, he probably figured he was getting the death penalty for having a recruit over for burgers and brats.

I don’t want to hear about the FBI thing either. Just as Cal was cleared of any wrongdoing in the Camby and Rose stuff, Bruce has apparently been cleared as well.

Kev I really like your style. We really need everyone to be good as a conference; I’m tired of hearing that the Big 12 and ACC are better.

So you get banned and you come right back with the same Avatard [laughing]

Maybe if you and a few others didn't suck balls for the last 80+ odd years.

Pearl is the one of the top ten floor coaches in basketball. He’s a crazy good strategist.

Now the problem is he’s a loose cannon. But, weren’t we saying this about Cal before he came here?

I know Bruce had the situation at Tennessee. However, what he did wrong there was basically nothing compared to UNC, and they got nothing done to them.
Pearl's love of the limelight at at Tenn. didn't help his image. Remember the shirtless scene at Tenn. girls game.

The problem with Pearl is he's got a long record of not only cheating, but being total POS. And I do like Bruce, but it doesn't change what he is.

When a coach secretly records a recruit to set him up and then lies about what was on the tape, essentially trying to ruin the kid because he wouldn't commit to him, you're a POS.

The issue about lying to the NCAA at Tennessee wasn't really just about "lying", and definitely wasn't just about a BBQ like so many like to say. It was the fact that he lied about something so small, it tells you all you need to know about him as a person. If you'll lie about that, you'll bury bodies over something serious.

Oh then what do ya know, he gets caught up on an FBI sting, but this time instead of lying, he's going to plead the fifth because the FBI is involved and he figured he doesn't have to lie this time. Just evade.

Bruce makes millions doing what he does, he doesn't care about rules or regulations, he doesn't care about any sort of integrity. He's in this for the money and fame, doesn't care what happens to the programs, he'll roll the dice and try to weasel his way through. I've always said, I don't care if my teams cheat, but be good at it. Bruce is TERRIBLE at cheating, and then you look at his past - not only a liar but a lying snitch, and I just cant figure out why anyone would ever consider him at UK. The NCAA would absolutely nuke this program, and Bruce wouldn't care.

He's the type of guy you want to have a beer or joint with, maybe hit the strip clubs. I get where you're coming from on that.

Could be a little of both, but Pearl also genuinely likes to have fun. Yeah he loves the spotlight, but I genuinely think he loves engaging with the fans. I don’t think it’s all for show. He’s just a gregarious dude

But at the same time, if he were late for an appointment and you were hanging off a cliff, he'd probably tell ya "sorry man I'm late. I'll send someone".

Don't worry barn fan, he will get you guys a decent season before the **** hits the fan. You'll have a little moment in the sun before the mushroom cloud blows.
Big money boosters are beginning to get vocal and involved in the b-ball program. I think we’ll get our “Cam Newton” Attorneys back on retainer and protect him. Just my opinion. I think he sticks around awhile

Barn fan?
barnercollege
A term used to describe fans and/or alumni of Auburn University. The term originated, in part, from the fact that Auburn University is located in a more rural area of Alabama and has a large Department of Agriculture. Additionally, former University of Alabama head football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant referred to Auburn as a "cow college." Since Bryant is a god of sorts to most Alabama Crimson Tide football fans, this solidified the term. It is important to note that this term is most often used by Alabama football fans who couldn't tell you anything about the school unless it is football-related.

Good. Hopefully he’s late bc he’s out signing a 5 star stud. And he sends someone more trained and qualified to help me out. I don’t want his fat sweaty hands helping pull me off a cliff.

Truth.

When will people understand that we got off scot-free with Cam Newton and this little basketball thing is going to go the same way.

No I just understand Alabama. We've also got a city college that's always cheating and trying to keep up. It's annoying man, you little bro's are kinda sad sometimes.

Is it cheating if you get away with it?
