Harrell got two quick fouls, sat early and Auburn got behind and stayed behind.
Bowers, it appears will get his on a regular basis but this team is not fun to watch without Mason in the lineup.

I think Pearl is going to realize soon just how difficult this job is going to be. Opening night, nothing else going on in town, and the arena was half full. Then two road games and get blown out.

If he turns Auburn into a perennial tournament team, even as a 9 or 10 seed, it'll be one of the better coaching jobs I've ever seen.

If Pearl cant turn this program around you might as well shut it down and save the money.

I don't expect the arena to be full every game but it is disappointing for it to only be half full. Still, this isn't an easy climb but I feel Pearl will have us winning more and faster than any other coach we could have hired.

Too soon to start making tourney plans. He will get us there.

35

Well, you cant expect Gus to just run the score up against one of the rungs in his coaching ladder do you?

35 is pretty respectable with our backups. Hopefully JJ got some significant snaps.

We'll see how cruddy we are when we face Oregon State. Their program stinks like a beaver on the rag.

I'm confident Pearl will have this program back to competitiveness and tournament play quickly.

He's just holding on right now and waiting for Atewe and Mason to get back in the rotation...and crossing his fingers for Trayvon Reed's waiver to come through. If he gets all three for the conference run, look out.

He didn't run all his offense because he didn't want to show Kentucky everything.

Give em' something to think about.

He learned it from Gus. You think those 3 losses were legit? Ha. So naÃ¯ve. All done with the Iron Bowl in mind.

When are you people gonna' wake up?

I didn't watch too much of it. What little I did watch told me we had another night where we couldn't buy a basket. The box score told me the same thing. What Buzz said, we get Atewe and Mason back in the lineup and Reed comes in, we should be in pretty good shape come SEC schedule time.

You do realize it takes time to gel as a team.
